Sheena Goodyear is the writer, 175 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: and they have not always been credited by name because 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: on the CBC site we usually have our writing teams 177 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: listed at the bottom of the article. And I think 178 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: it has been missed in the past, which is one 179 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 2: hundred percent true. I've sorry oftentimes for the CBC. I'm 180 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: just like nobody wrote this. Six Timers Club must be 181 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: exclusive membership and should absolutely be celebrated talk about the 182 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: best in the biz. I know Sheena only tangentially, and 183 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: I've helped her with a few technical things here and 184 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: there over the years, but I reached out immediately and 185 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: told her about it. And since I am obviously unstable 186 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: enough to have researched this, here are the episodes in 187 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: which CBC articles appear, and we can link those for 188 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: people over on our Instagram. And then so that is amazing. 189 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: First off, Jonathan Stateton, thank you so much for doing that. 190 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 2: And Sheena Goodyear, we got to have you on the pod. 191 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: Again, right the Banana of Honor? Are you kidding? 192 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: All of Sena's articles are awesome, like everything. I just 193 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 2: googled Sheena Goodyear articles and these fully grown sea Lions 194 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: Won't Stop Nursing as one of the first ones that 195 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: came up, and I was like, Yeah, we're gonna do this. 196 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: Of course we're gonna do Yes. 197 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: Our big ones are Ben Hooper at UPI. Ben Hooper 198 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: has so many good odd news stories. Kathor Jensen one 199 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: of the greatest names ever ever and I guess sena goodyear, Sena. 200 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: We have women, trans and non binary guests on the show. 201 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: Please the door is open dm us on the Instagram 202 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: or email us at the Bananas Podcast at gmail dot com. 203 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: It would be an honor to have you on Bananas Here. 204 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: It is here, it is. 205 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 2: Alexandra Childs never quite got used to the site of 206 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: fully grown Galopagos Islands sea lions happily sucking from their 207 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: mother's teats. This guy hated it, or she hated Alexandra 208 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: hated she could stay in this site. You did a 209 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: double take every time he came across at Child's, a 210 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: PhD Candidate in behavioral and marine biology at Germany's University 211 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: of Well told As it Happens host Neil Coscott coxaal 212 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: you would you went back to the computer like I 213 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: gotta check the age again. Am I sure that this 214 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 2: is what's happening? It blew our minds. Child's is the 215 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 2: lead author of a new study documenting the prevalence of 216 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: so called super suckler sea alliance in the Gloos, published 217 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: last month in the journal The American naturalist and that 218 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 2: that is a it is a newdi magazine. The researchers 219 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: found roughly eleven percent of the population kept feeding on 220 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: their mother's milk well into adulthood. Child said it would 221 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: be like if humans kept breastfeeding into their teens and twenties. Wow, 222 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: rough on the mom. 223 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, why, I mean, we milk cows the whole way through. 224 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: I've been told cal's enjoy being mild. 225 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: I don't think moss. I think there are certain moms 226 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: that enjoy breastfeeding. I think the majority of moms do 227 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: not enjoy breastfeeding. It is a very it's a big, 228 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 2: long time. 229 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: Suck, I would say. And I'll never know why. 230 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 2: And we'll never know why. We have no idea. Child says, 231 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: we can understand why mothers would continue. We don't. We 232 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: can't understand why mothers would continue to allow this because 233 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: it's a lot of energy to give away to an offspring, 234 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: offspring who is able to hunt for themselves. Maybe it's 235 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: just a way to connect generation. The study looks at 236 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: twenty years of data from the population of Galapagos Sea lions, 237 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: whose scientific name is Zelaphus wailebaki. Of course, it is 238 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: sea lions can live to be about twenty three years old. 239 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: Child said. 240 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: Most of the Xilophalis wallabaky wean from their mothers between 241 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: the ages of one point five and four point five years, 242 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: just before they reach sexual maturity, which is exactly what 243 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: the researchers would have expected, but not for the super sucklers. 244 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: These guys are carrying on way behind beyond that threshold. 245 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: The oldest individual they observed suckling, she said, was sixteen 246 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: years old, so that appeared to be an aberration, not 247 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: the norm. Sixteen. That's like if someone in their sixties 248 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: was still pressed. 249 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: You know, life is a flat circle. 250 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: Some of them, she said, made a group activity at it, 251 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: forming with the New York Times dubbed multi generational suckling trains. Yeah, 252 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: what so that means? That means a mom was sucking 253 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: on a mom and then had another mom sucking on her, 254 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: and then another mom sucking on her. 255 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: No comment. 256 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: We saw three of them in a row with mom 257 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: nursing on the older female and the baby. What with 258 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: mom nursing on the older female and the baby nursing 259 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: on the mom? What so, mom? This wild? 260 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: This is human centipede? Man, I've seen this movie. 261 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: Before it's sealed to pe. 262 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, in human sealtapede, this is great. 263 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: Other sea lions do it too, but not this much. 264 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: Andrew Trite's, director of the Marine Mammal Research Unit at 265 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: the University of British Columbia, says this kind of behavior 266 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: has been observed in several other species of sea lions, 267 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: some seals too, but not to this extent. Seems way 268 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: more extreme in the Galapagos. Triste said, it is a 269 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: really interesting study. Sea lions usually do this when there's 270 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: not enough high quality food to go around boom, and 271 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: the mother wants to ensure offspring's chance of surviving and reproducing. Okay, now, 272 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's starting to make evolutionary sense. 273 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: It takes a lot of energy to grow to become 274 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: really big, and pups need a lot of energy. One 275 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: way the mums can ensure the mums that's I guess 276 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: they're British. Oh wait, do Canadians also spell it mum? 277 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: They say they use use and favorite, so maybe they do. 278 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: Okay. One way that moms can ensure that pups are 279 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: getting going to get big enough to become future breeders 280 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: to continue to provide them with milk. And let's be honest, guys, 281 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: you're looking at these photos. It don't look that weird. 282 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: It just looks like a bunch of sea lions doing 283 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: some stuff. 284 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. They seem like the laziest of animals 285 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to me, so I'm not surprised they're getting food the 286 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: easiest way imaginable. 287 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: Uh. She ends it this way. It's a very long article, 288 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: so there's much more on the super sucklers, but I 289 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: feel like we've talked a. 290 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: Lot about them. 291 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: She ends it with this quote. My time is done 292 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: on the island, sadly, she said, but we will hopefully 293 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: have some new, fresh faced, brave people to go out 294 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: there and collect data for us. And when she says 295 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: collect data, she means watch sixty year old seals suckle 296 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: on their mom's breasts. 297 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what they mean. Also, to any of 298 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: the bananas out there who are environmentalists or biologists or 299 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: work with any animal life environment, you know, I it's 300 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: going to Glopagos not good, even if you don't touch 301 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: the island, because it's a top five for me. I 302 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: want to go so bad, but I don't want to 303 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: mess with it if it's better that less people go. Like, 304 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm seeing way too many people go into Antarctica now 305 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: and it's kind of bumming me out. So influencers are 306 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: going on going these big things where they get off 307 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: and they walk and they get off, and like I 308 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: think National Geographic has a cruise. There are these huge 309 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: cruises and that and last year especially became a thing 310 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: where TikTokers and stuff would go to Antarctica and I'm like, 311 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: this might suck. 312 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I know that the Galapagos they have very 313 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: strict rules about how many people a year can come, 314 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: and so I think that it's not like it's going 315 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: to be overrun because you can only go a set 316 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: number of people per year. So hopefully, hopefully that's not 317 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: that is within the ability for the island to island's capacity. 318 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, it seems cool. Well I won't if 319 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: I do. Oh, I promise, I'll shield my eyes if 320 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: I see any seals breastfeeding in a weird or a 321 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: boris with each other. 322 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: They actually want you to watch. 323 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: They want you to watch and sign Yeah, I could 324 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: use a paycheck. Hollywood's dying. 325 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, A penthouse has a new uh column. 326 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: I Bob GUGIONI is hiring just you can imagine what 327 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: the binoculars look like. Have you ever seen or? Okay, 328 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: so there's those breastfeeding pods and a lot of airports. Now, 329 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: great idea. I think that's great. I mean, I don't 330 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: care if you breastfeed your kid anywhere you want. It's 331 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the number one most natural thing humans can do for 332 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: one another. But the pods are cool. But I was wondering, 333 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: how many people do you think have gone in there 334 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: and like smoked a joint or had sex or done 335 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: a bump or something like. I've never seen anybody go 336 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: in and out of one, but I wonder if they're 337 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: being used for it's like the most private place in 338 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: an airport. 339 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: It is the most private place in an airport. 340 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: I wonder, right, I'm sure people have hooked up in it. 341 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure people are double. 342 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: Do you think two people went in there and hooked up? 343 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what I think. 344 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Look, everybody's probably hooked up everywhere, thanks, And 345 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: I definitely think people have jerked off in them. I 346 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 2: definitely think people have done cocaine in them. And I 347 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: don't think people have smoked a join in them. Maybe 348 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: somebody's vaped in there. 349 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: Oh, people will vape anywhere these days.

Quote, We put 408 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: the we pulled the gutter off that side of the building, 409 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: thinking it was going to be a light fire. Yeah, 410 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: and then we discovered the whole attic was fully involved. 411 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: I love that speak fully involved, fully the fire fire. 412 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: Also like, what what do you why are you getting 413 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: try and get snow off your roof?

They'll swing a saucer over there. 440 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: All we did when your kid was throw snowballs at 441 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: icicles to make them drop. It was a lovely experience. 442 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: Olive was OLIVI and Gus were doing it the other 443 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: day and I was like, don't that's the neighbor's house. 444 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: You're throwing ice balls towards a window. And they're like, no, 445 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: we are throwing them at icicles. And I was like, 446 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: and behind the icicle is a big old picture window. 447 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 2: You have to stop. 448 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. 449 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: And they don't listen. They don't listen. Kids don't like 450 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 2: to listen. 451 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: In college, we would throw snowballs at the amtrak that 452 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: would go behind our house. The Vermonter all the time, 453 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: we would hear it come in. We would all go 454 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: out back pack snowballs and just annihilate that thing as 455 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: many as you could throw. And you know the twenty 456 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: seconds it took to pass. 457 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 2: Oh was it like a high speed one? So it 458 00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: was going pretty fast. 459 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was going pretty fast. But you could see 460 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: people sitting there and we our house had a little 461 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: section of woods and a little creek and then there, 462 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: but it was like thirty feet not very far. So 463 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: if four or five of us went out there, we 464 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: could probably we could get twenty five to thirty snowballs 465 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: hitting that thing pretty hard. 466 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 2: I finally did. Okay, so my update, my high speed 467 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: train update. I finally did ride the new Excella, the 468 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 2: new gen next gen Excella. 469 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: How is it. 470 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: It's nice in the fact that everything's new, like the 471 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: bathrooms are nicer and stuff like that. That's good, but 472 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: it does it does seem to be borrowing from airlines 473 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 2: a little too much. Like the seats are plastic seats 474 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: no longer go back, just the part that you sit 475 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 2: on goes forward. Remember, I mean, like that was what 476 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 2: was so cool about the old school Amtrak trains. As 477 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: you hit it, you go back and you're just like 478 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: I can fall asleep. This is nice, and you're not 479 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: inconveniencing the person behind you. No, so next Genisela. It's fine, 480 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: but come on, let's stop ruining everything. Let's stop making 481 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: everything a little bit worse. Let's try and make the 482 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: next version of the thing a little bit better. How 483 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: about that? How about that? 484 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: I love that. I agree with you. I think that 485 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Speaking of and this is 486 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: also for our friends at exactly right, Kurt and I 487 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: have an idea. We do big dumb stunt. We've done 488 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: it for years.

Okay, 683 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 2: he's got twenty four sessions of animal cruelty counseling program. 684 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: That's good. A five year ban on having animals under 685 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 2: his care, that's fine, makes sense, a ten year ban 686 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 2: on possessing firearms okay, good. And two hundred and twenty 687 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 2: dollars in fines that's not too much.

What looks 697 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 2: like maybe it's a stick. But also the hawk is 698 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: not trapped in any way, shape or form. The hawk 699 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: is just sitting there. But maybe it's a juvenile. Maybe 700 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 2: it's a baby hawk done nhs. 701 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: Wasn't a nibble of a tequila rita or whatever apple somethingusion. 702 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 2: Exactly, Maybe that hawk, it's a baby hawk.
