00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of iHeartRadio. I'm your host

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology and evolutionary biology,

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: and today on the show we are securing, protecting, and

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: containing some mysterious cryptids that are very much real. If

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: you're a fan of weird internet culture, you've probably heard

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: of the SCP Foundation, a mysterious compendium of top secret,

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: totally real, transdimensional paranormal phenomena. It's said that the SCP

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Foundation is an example of collaborative writing fiction and sure

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: it's fictional. That's totally not something a super top secret

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: organization would say. So I'm going to go through some

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: real life documented animals who could easily be SCP entries.

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: From the Grim Reaper who floats in the midnight Zone,

13
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to a pile of undead spiders. These creatures have all

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: been found to data expunged. Discover this and more as

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: we answer the agele question Eric Data redacted. Joining me

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: today our hosts of the one nine hundred hot dog

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: podcast dog Zone nine thousand, Robert Brockway and Shan Maybe

18
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: perfect pronunciation perfect, nobody ever does the extra gees and

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: Z's thank you Yeah there's two gs, two z's. I'm

20
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: Sean Baby, I studied volleyball and bud light Nice, I'm

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Robert Brockway, and thank you for containing and hopefully protecting me. Yeah,

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: and securing, don't forget securing. Well, that's impossible. So the

23
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: inspiration for this episode actually came from a young listener

24
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: named Max who asked me to do an episode about

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: animals that could be the subject of the SEP Foundation.

26
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: It is this quote unquote fictional website where they have

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Wikipedia entries that are meant to look like they come

28
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: from this shadowy governmental organization, where they describe the things

29
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: that they secure contain, protect transdimensional creepy paintings, animals that

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: are half an animal, creepy things that follow you around,

31
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: and a candy bowl. I think that's haunted anyways. So

32
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I when you say young, how are we talking like

33
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: thirty five young or like thirty five years young? I think,

34
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: what did they say? I think they're around eight years old, okay,

35
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and they're Yeah, they're loose on the Internet. It's just

36
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: free to roam, free to roam. SCP. Be careful out there.

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: It's a while on waking Internet. But yeah, the SEP foundation.

38
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: It's I think it kind of there's a bunch of

39
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: media to like video games and creative videos. I think

40
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: like it's in the same genre as like the slender

41
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Man stuff, where it's like this spooky Internet stuff that

42
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: is made to seem like found footage or something that

43
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: someone caught in real life. My daughter loves this kind

44
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: of stuff as soon if there's some sort of a

45
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: meta narrative going on of like a cartoon getting corrupted

46
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: by darkness, that's like that's her thing. Yeah, I go

47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole of user generated content for that

48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: stuff all day. Yeah, it's fun. I do like Haunted SpongeBob,

49
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, it's an episode of SpongeBob, but

50
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: it's haunted. M Oh yeah, I'm so out of touch

51
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: with the kids these days that that that just confounds

52
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and baffles me. Haunted SpongeBob, I don't even have a

53
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: picture of what that might be the idea a lot

54
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: of them. Actually, it helps that SpongeBob has those like

55
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: watercolor paintings that they do sometimes where it's like super

56
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: realistic close up of squid words face and you can

57
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: see all the pores. It's already I think verging on

58
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: nightmare Fuel that show and speaking of nightmare Fuel, under

59
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: the Sea, the first entry in our sep Secure Creature podcast,

60
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: Yeah you did there? Yeah, uh is found in the

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: midnight zone, quite literally, the midnight zone in the ocean.

62
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of when you think of

63
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: the midnight zone? Probably reading ocean books with my daughter,

64
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: it comes up a lot. It's one of her favorites.

65
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: She loves these, uh these types of creatures. I guess

66
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: this is all my point of reference. This is fantastic.

67
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I do not have a creepy daughter, so uh I

68
00:04:52,160 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: wish I did. But uh I, I could have a

69
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: creepy I could have several creepy daughters if I wanted to.

70
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: That'd be really good at that. Maybe I got Maybe

71
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: I got a new life goal. It's just to start

72
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: a little, a little weird creepy family. He just bother

73
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: about this diggy and depths. I think of like a

74
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: knockoff twilight Zone, like a twilight Zone that's on like

75
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: the Sci Fi Channel in two thousand and three and

76
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: ran for most of a season. Yeah, welcome midnight Zone,

77
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon. You think Carmen Elector in two thousand and three.

78
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Smith. Ah, yeah, I feel that really good. What

79
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: if it was the real Jersey the best Guy, but

80
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: instead of being made out of people, we was made

81
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: out of pizza. Huh what a Kevin Smith impression? My god,

82
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: dat What would you do if you were really deep

83
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: in the ocean and all the fish were dark, but

84
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: with a little light bulb on their heads? Hi, I'm

85

Speaker 1: The kids love Haunted Spawn, well, the biggest name on

89
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: the Internet. The Midnight Zone is a very real place

90
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: in the ocean, found around a thousand to four thousand

91
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: meters or three thousand, three hundred to thirteen thousand feet

92
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: under the sea. And that's a lot of feet. It's

93
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: so many feet. It is also known as the bathy

94
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: Pleagic Zone. It is an area of the ocean so

95
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: deep that no sunlight can penetrate it. No photosynthesis or

96
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: sun tanning can occur here. It is pitch black, well

97
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: and wet, and it's real. It's somehow, it's wetter than

98
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: the normal ocean down there, Like, it's weird how that happens.

99
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: It's James Cameron keeps an office down there. It's just

100
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: to get away. It's a serious wetness down there. And

101
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: in these depths there lurks something called the stigio Medusa gigantea,

102
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: whose name means giant medusa with the darkness like the

103
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: river of death. So the most god animal, yes, so

104
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: god that when he introduces himself, he's just like, okay

105
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: that let looped back around from scary to like I'm

106
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna bully you a little bit now. Yeah. Yeah. Their

107
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: scientists are like, maybe you should have been a magician.

108
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't can we went a little crazy, buddy. I

109
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: do like the idea of here's what I named the

110
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: jellyfish that dark Yeah, I named mine Todd after myself

111
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: and Todd McFarlane. You're just going off the deep end. Oh,

112
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw you in the river sticks aka

113
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: the turilet. You're getting us whirly, the most bully jellyfish science. Yes,

114
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: so this is also known as the phantom jellyfish. There's

115
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: no name this jellyfish has that doesn't sound super dramatic.

116
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: And over the top. But if you see it, it

117
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: does look super dramatic and over the top. Yeah, let

118
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: me try to describe this. This looks like, um like

119
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: a little like a little hat or maybe kind of

120
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: a UFO with dryer lint tentacles of dryer land. I

121
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: like that. The try hard goth jellyfish is wearing a

122
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: little fedora. Yeah, that's very appropriate, and a trench coats.

123
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: A fedora with a trench coat coming out of it.

124
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: This is very like mid two thousands try hard high

125
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: school sad boy kind of. Yeah. This is someone else

126
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: first his first day of Fedora. See him they can

127
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: pull it off him? Yeah, like and everyone says no,

128
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the It's like the vampire cost

129
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: players of the mid two thousands. Excuse me, cos players.

130
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: It's a it's a way of life. I knew. I

131
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: was friends with some of those kids. Well they're phantom

132
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: jellyfish now. So the giant Phantom jellyfish has very shy,

133
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: much like a mid two thousands vampire lifestyle player. They

134
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: have only been sided around one hundred times, which sounds

135
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: like a lot, but for an animal, you know, I

136
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: guess that's not a lot. That's not a lot for

137
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: a whole species. I mean, if it was like one,

138
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: it was like one like like Benson, the Haunt of

139
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Jellyfish and you've seen him one hundred times. Tired about

140
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: seeing you, Benson. Sorry. So it is thought to be

141
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: found all over the world in the depths of the

142
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: ocean's midnight zone. Uh. It can grow to be over

143
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: thirty feet or ten meters in length. So try given

144
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: that thing a swirlieu and it weighs over ninety pounds

145
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: or forty kilograms, making it one of the largest invertebrate

146
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: predators in the ocean. This thing is a full nightmare. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: it is. Again, it's got like that little like gelatinous

148
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: fedorac cap kind of looks like a bowler hat made

149
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: out of a gossamer veil, and then all its tentacles

150
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: are these like sort of they look like shredded grim

151
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: reaper robe just kind of floating around there. And because

152
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: they live in the midnight zone, that grim reaper like

153
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: appearance renders them invisible. In these photos we see like

154
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: they kind of you know, there's almost like this little

155
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: bit of like an orange glow inside of the bell

156
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: that fedora hat that bowler cap is called the bell

157
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: of the jellyfish, and that glow is not visible. Normally

158
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: that that glow happens because there's light being shined on

159
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: this thing, but typically it is completely invisible to any

160
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: of the poor inhabitants of the midnight Zone who are

161
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: small enough to be eaten by this thing. They will

162
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: silently drift in this dark watery abyss and grab small

163
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: fish or zooplankton with their veil like tentacles. And unlike

164
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of other jellyfish, they do not have stinging tentacles,

165
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: so they don't really stun their prey. They just ensnarl them,

166
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: tangle them up in their tentacles, smother them, and then

167
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: eat them. It's hardcore, Benson. Yeah, take it easy, Benson.

168
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: There's like probably no good way to die in the

169
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: midnight Zone. Like if you're being chumped to death by

170
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: a by a bowler hat, you're like, all right, it's

171
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's what to be

172
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: expected of the midnight Zone. I'm Kevin Smith. It's definitely

173
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: not the worst way to die. That will discuss on

174
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: this podcast today. Oh good, Yeah, that's the direction we're going,

175
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: all right, I hope you love it. Max to my

176
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: eight year old listener, here's a terrifying way to die

177
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: in the ocean. They requested it loves it. So though

178
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: they are a silent phantom death stalker of the depths,

179
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: their prey tends to be very small. Uh. These very

180
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: small fish sometimes zooplankton, which means that a larger, more

181
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: daring fish has an opportunity for what for a findship,

182
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: So they really only like to kill you if you scream.

183
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: That's the that's the phantom jellyfish one. So the Pelaso

184
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: Bathia pleagica aka pleagic brochila. Which usually when I have

185
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: like two names for something, one name is at least

186
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: recognizable or less goofy Uh, this one is just like

187
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: this one is either Theelaso Bathio pleagica or pleagic brothula brochila,

188
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: which other whichever you want. Brochilla. See, I thought that

189
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: was a joke name. I thought you're like, he's brochilla.

190
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: He is. He is actually bro chilla, which is funny.

191
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: He is a relatively ugly fish. Uh. It's this dark,

192
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: purply brown. It kind of looks like a an elongated

193
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: plum groove fish parts it's like shaped sort of like yeah,

194
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,359
Speaker 1: it's with eyeballs in a fin. It's shaped like a

195
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: stubby eel. It grows around nine inches or a little

196
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: over twenty two centimeters long. I'm just gonna say it

197
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: for the record. God should be a shame to himself.

198
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: This is where you never expected us to go to

199
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: the midnight zone. This is where he hides all of

200
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: the screw ups. Yeah, you shouldn't go down there. That's

201
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: the first draft folder. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, eh, well

202
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: we'll put these here in the ocean, and it's like,

203
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: don't you love us? Don't you love us? God? Oh yeah,

204
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: just go down there. But you can't see us down here.

205
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: All the better to treasure you with my heart's eyes. Oh, Benson,

206
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: you got a lot of character. So it looks like

207
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: the sidewalk after someone like lost an elbow to it,

208
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Like it just looks like a human elbow smeared across. Yeah,

209
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: with a face with a face, yeah, like or you

210
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: pulled sort of like a giraffe tongue out in stead

211
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: a fish face on it. It's it's like a swimming infection,

212
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I've got it. I've got this is a

213
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: golden eye face unwrapped from the polygons. Oh oh God,

214
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: that makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

215
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: So it is thought that the pleagic brochilla is indeed

216
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: a brochilla to the phantom jellyfish. It lives in the

217
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: jellyfish's bell, So that little bowler cap that makes it

218
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: look like a huge nerd uh, this little guy, this

219
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: fish swims in there and removes parasites. Meanwhile, the fish

220
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: gets a free meal and is provided shelter inside of

221
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the jellyfish's bell. So they are he may be ugly,

222
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: but at least he eats bacteria out of a douchebags hat.

223
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: I live, I live in the grim Reaper's hat. It's

224
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: like this jellyfish is really trying to get a vibe going,

225
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: like I stop the night in the midnight zone and

226
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: me too. Okay, y, I'm gonna need you to get

227
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: back in my hat. Hello, you're about to meet You're

228
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna eat that weird moon caterpillar. Yeah, he kind of,

229
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: he does. His vibes are definitely different from the jellyfish.

230
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: The jellyfish is more goth and this one is a

231
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: little bit more like Cronenberg's mistake. M hm. I would

232
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: watch this children's show though. Yeah, like you put those

233
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: two together. That's an odd couple I could get behind.

234
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: It's Benson and Jerry living in the midnight zone eating

235
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: little fish, going around looking like God's mistakes. Perfect theme

236
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: song for it too, we were We're already most of

237
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: the way there. Let's pitch it. Come get me, Netflix,

238
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm here to write your new children's show. I'm already

239
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: writing the pitch dick. Yeah, doing some illustrations, but goth

240
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: in the scab. Just make sure all of the characters

241
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: look like donated organs that have grown bad faces already done.

242
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: They all look like inserts from SpongeBob. So spiders, how

243
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: you guys feel about spidies? Strongly against, mildly against? Oh

244
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: there we go, let them live if they're in a

245
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: corner or something. Yeah, you just do your thing. Wow, real,

246
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: real sort of benevolent god you are to the spiders.

247
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I could be the kind of guy

248
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: that would put a spider outside, but that's just not

249
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: an option in my house. If I hear like a

250
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: random scream, I don't. I don't panic anymore. I'm just like, oh,

251
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: you found a spider. Yeah. I am the type of

252
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: person to gently pick up a little spider. I actually

253
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: hold it just by one of its little little arms

254
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: and go like, come with me, a little spidy. We're

255
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: going outside, and it just walks next to me and yeah,

256
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: and just like here you go go outside, you are.

257
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: I give a little kiss packed in a tiny brown

258
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: paper bag full of lunch. It's just flyguts. So there

259
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: is a Twitter thread by someone named Adam Roy documenting

260
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: the subreddit aptly named spiders Just spiders the subreddit which

261
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: is a great subreddit. I love it, and Adam Roy

262
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: found this great story on it. Someone from Australia posted

263
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: on the spiders subreddit for help because they kept finding

264
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: piles of dead spiders under the kitchen table. And they're

265
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: from Australia, so they're they're posting in Spiders about piles

266
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and dead spiders and you're sitting there from Australia. I

267
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. And they

268
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: need help. This has to be dire. I mean, their

269
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: whole life is spent just fending off and possibly accidentally

270
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: eating spiders. So if they're like, this is messed up,

271
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: you guys, I need somebody to come help me. And

272
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: then they say, by the way, I'm from Australia, You're like,

273
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: good God, No, yeah, I think in Australia they don't

274
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: always accidentally eat spiders. So yeah, I was trying to

275
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: be generous. I wasn't trying to offend your Australian listeners.

276
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're a bunch of spider eating freaks. I

277
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, I mean I think spiders are nutritious

278
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: and delicious. If I wasn't such good friends with him,

279
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: I'd eat a spider. Why not. The true horror behind

280
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: this podcast, ladies and chill, Like, what I'm saying is

281
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: it chickens only got two legs and spiders got eight

282
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: of them more more more makes a whole family of

283
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: eight happily. Anyways, I'm graduated from taking them out hand

284
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: to hand in hand. Yeah, I'm gonna eat. I don't

285
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: eat spiders. I knit them tiny sweaters. So Katie eat spiders.

286
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a human mouth filled the spiders? Time?

287
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Smith and here in the Midnight Zone, what if

288
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: our teeth was spiders? Makes you think, doesn't it. That's

289
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: that's one, right, that's one. Let's do that one gain. Yeah, oh,

290
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: this is still the intro. We only got seven episodes,

291
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: just put it in here. Martha was a regular lady,

292
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: but then she wished her teeth was spiders. Turns out

293
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: she didn't like it. It was a bad idea pile

294
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: of dead spiders Australia. But what was weird about it

295
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: was that these are all sorts of different species of spiders.

296
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: If it's like a pile of the same type of spider,

297
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: You're like, ah, got a pile of spiders, okay, But

298
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: it was a pile of assorted spiders, like a like

299
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: a mixed assortment of spiders. Yeah, Like they got together

300
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: and chose to die together. It's very strange. You're like,

301
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: what led to that decision? Spiders? Spider call if you

302
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: took a scoop of spider pot pourri. M yeah, that's

303
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: a really good way to describe this. It's a good

304
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: way to liven up a bathroom. But upon closer investigation,

305
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: it turns out the spider's legs were splayed open. And

306
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: you know how like when you see a dead spider,

307
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: as I do all the time, and I cry about it,

308
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: the legs are curled inwards. It's the classic. It's the

309
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: classic dead spider. Look. Well, the reason that dead spiders

310
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: have curled legs is that their legs are actually powered

311
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: by hydraulic fluid, not by muscles. So they pump this

312
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: like spider fluid through their legs, and the pumping of

313
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: this fluid is actually what makes their legs move around.

314
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: This skinness sound crazy, kat I think you had us

315
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: on the show when we talked about necrotic like hydraulic

316
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: spider leg pumping. That's very possible, I did. Yeah, we

317
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: talk about spider juice a lot. Yeah, this podcast should

318
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: just be called the Spider Juice Podcasts. Spider Juice with

319
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: Katie in the Dough sponsored by Spider Juice. It's real

320
00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: spiders now juggy version through anything, Martha. So when spiders die,

321
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: as you may remember from previous shows where I have

322
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: explained this, the fluid pump system stops working and their

323
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: legs relax, which actually means that they curl up, because

324
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: curled up is kind of like the default position when

325
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: this fluid is not being pumped through their legs. It's

326
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of like it's kind of like a party horn

327
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: when air is running through it, it's extended. But when

328
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: the airflow stops, it curls up. But just replace party

329
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: horn with spider legs and air with spider juice, and

330
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: there you go. You got a spider leg. You got

331
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: a party spider horn. That's how you got a party spider.

332
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: And just imagine someone like blowing into a spider and

333
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: all the legs like going, here's what I'm picturing. You're

334
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: lost in a desert island and you're there with like

335
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: all the plane crash survivors, and one of them is

336
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: a child. They're like, it's my birthday, but I don't

337
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: have any party horns. And you like pull up a

338
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: big spider that you found on the island. You're like,

339
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: that's all right, I know how to do this. Katie's

340
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: podcast you can tear off an here's the podcast I

341
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: read just for you eight years old, Max. So, uh,

342
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: what uh? The significance of the fact that these spiders

343
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: were found with their legs splayed open rather than curled up,

344
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: meant that the spiders weren't dead, They're just paralyzed. So

345
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: what do you boys think a pile of paralyzed spiders

346
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: were doing under a kitchen table and go I'm gonna say, uh,

347
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: I know Max is listening, but I'm gonna say hardcore drugs.

348
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say snuggling. Let's go in different directions,

349
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: cattle party. Uh No, hardcore drugs is actually closer to it.

350
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: This was the handiwork of a mud Dauber wasp, which

351
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: the Australian who found this pile of spiders actually did

352
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: confirm because they saw this wasp crawling out of the

353
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: table leg, which is a weird place to put a wasp.

354
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: But you keep your wasp. I keep my wasps well

355
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: organized in the wasp shelf, all right. So mud Daubers

356
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: are very waspy wasps. I mean, they're definite wasps shaped wasp.

357
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: They are yellow and black, usually sometimes they're more brown. Um.

358
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: They're different species, many different species, and they generally have

359
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: these very thin tube like waists. Yeah I got those

360
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: barbering proportions. Yeah ready, Yeah, the just in an Instagram

361
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: filter that makes you look like this wasp. I think

362
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: this wasp has had some work done, no doubt. That

363
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: is definitely a thorax implant. Yeah. The mud Daubers species

364
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: are found all over the world, spreading torture and death

365
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: throughout the lamp happy birthday, little child Max mud daubers.

366
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's his birthday, but I feel

367
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: like it's his birthday. Yeah, if you need a party blower, Max,

368
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: tear off a spider leg and put it in your mouth. Uh,

369
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: don't do that so your parents don't get mad at us.

370
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: So mud mud daubers are named as such because they

371
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: construct nests out of mud. Typically, these are like sort

372
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: of tubes. Some species have really elaborate nests that they

373
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: kind of look like pipe organs. Sometimes they look more lumpy,

374
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: but the general thing is that they construct a tube

375
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: and in each tube they will lay an egg. But

376
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: they want their egg to be well nourished so to

377
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: provide food for their babies. This is where the pile

378
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: of paralyzed spiders comes in. Niche the killed a wasp,

379
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: No no hesitation, just flattened right there. Yeah. No, I don't,

380
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't hold. I don't like gently escort a wasp

381
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: out of my house. That is, I mean, I'm so scared,

382
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: got no respect, got no respect for a wasp. No

383
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: wasps scare me because they can sting you and it hurts.

384
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: And also they just they do a lot of messed

385
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: up stuff. They got some war crimes going on, Like,

386
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: you don't need to do this as a wasp. You

387
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: could just kill them and then keep them around. But

388
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: the paralyzing them and then just leaving them there, that's

389
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: a wasp move. There's technically a reason for this serial

390
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: killer like move, wasp apologist. Look, I may be just

391
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: a city lawyer here, but I say this wasp had

392
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: good reason to paralyze it's victims and leave it as

393
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: food for its young Um I did it for my kids. Yeah,

394
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: every evil person says that wasp. So the wasp herself

395
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: cannot eat the spider. She actually just daintily SIPs the

396
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: nectar of flowers. But she will paralyze these spiders and

397
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: then take them to her nest. So she will deposit

398
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: these dead spiders into one of her nest tubes, lay

399
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: an egg on top of them, seal it up with

400
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: another bit of mud, and just leave. It's probably whistling

401
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: to herself going off to sip some more nectar, like

402
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: she's a fairy princess. But yeah, she has a pile

403
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: of bodies in a tube and they're still alive. Yes,

404
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: where do you keep your bodies? And a shelf labeled

405
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: bodies next to the I am very organized. I really

406
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: marry condo my whole death celler. So both answers are

407
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: loose table leg for me or heat my wasps and

408
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: all my bodies. It's such a good delivery system. Here

409
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: is where the torture element comes into, Like it is

410
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: actually very important for her to leave these spiders alive,

411
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: just immobilized, because if they're dead spiders, they go bad

412
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: and they need to be fresh. So when the egg

413
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: hatches and starts to mature over the winter, the larva

414
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: can slowly eat the spiders while they are fresh and

415
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: juicy and delicious. I'm still not on board just invent

416
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: preservatives or paralyzed spider. I think there's a frog that

417
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: like is a fridge. Just like talk to that guy.

418
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: You're thinking of the wood frog, which can be frozen

419
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: and then come back to life. So you go, he's

420
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: half he's halfway to a fridge instead of thousands of

421
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: years of evolving into a monster. He does have an

422
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: frize in his blood. Yeah, that guy's got it going on. Yeah,

423
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: so even better. The mud Dauber wasps like to kill,

424
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: specifically some of the cutest spiders in my opinion, like

425
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's messed up. You don't

426
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: have to do that. So they like to kill jumping spiders,

427
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: which they're my favorite spider. I love jumping spiders. They

428
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: only cute spiders. Really, they have adorable little faces. They're

429
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: like the puppies of the spider world. Often really colorful

430
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: and amazing. They also like to kill orb weavers, who

431
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: they're not. They don't have like the cute faces of

432
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: jumping spiders, but they can be really pretty. They can

433
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: come in beautiful colors kind of almost look like sort

434
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: of these like floral I don't know, they just they're

435
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: like the fairies of the spider world. They're they're they're beautiful.

436
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: But they kill those and they cram like a dozen

437
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: of them into the nest tube. All these spiders are paralyzed,

438
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: not dead. They lay their egg and then the egg

439
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: will hatch into a larva that will just comfortably eat

440
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: its way through these still alive spiders. Sez eat it.

441
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: Wasp Yeah, suck. And the thing is mud Daubers have

442
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: not only killed spiders, but airplanes full of people. Oh see,

443
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: I told you that I know a monster when I

444
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: spot one. Yeah, what how did the store they stored

445
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: the whole day airplanes full of people in the middle tubes?

446
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: What was Samuel Jackson during all of this? He was

447
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: way too focused on the snakes. Snakes aren't like snakes,

448
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: I think, are not. They're not as devious as wasps.

449
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get these mother father wasps off this Monday

450
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: to Friday plane. So uh, Max, you might not want

451
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to listen to this deck bit um. Anyways, In nineteen

452
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: ninety six, a seven fifty seven Virgin Air flight three

453
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: oh one crashed into the Atlantic while flying from the

454
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic. Crash investigators pinned the blame on a black

455
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: and yellow mud dauber, who likely built a nest in

456
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: one of the important external flight instruments, messing up the

457
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: air speed readings. I mean, apparently it was also like

458
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: pilot air because the pilot really should have known better,

459
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: like plane crashes are so rare, or usually like a

460
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: bunch of things have to go wrong at the same time.

461
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: It has to be like this weird coincidence of like

462
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: the pilot's not doing a good job, but also there's

463
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: some problem with the instruments or you have a freaking

464
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: wasp build its nest inside one of the instruments and

465
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: nobody notices it. Apparently the plane was also not stored properly,

466
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: so it's a big problem. But yeah, the plane would

467
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: not have crashed if it wasn't for this wasp. It

468
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: was good news to me that, like they died in

469
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: the crash and weren't like individually paralyzed by wasps and

470
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: then had eggs hatch into their still living bodies. I

471
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't say because they died in a crash, but I'm

472
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: saying like what I was picturing as you started the story. Yeah,

473
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, there was a near crash and plane

474
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: damage with no fatalities on a Gulf Stream G five

475
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: because an outflow valve got blocked with mud dauber nest material,

476
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: so they tried to do it again. I've got to

477
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: become the Alex Jones of Lost Pint. Just you see, people,

478
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. You're not paying attention. The wasps are in

479
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the planes. I mean, mainstream media, you can look it up.

480
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: The wasps are trying to kill us. That's a really

481
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: good Alex Jones. I can, like I can hear the

482
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: blood fressels breaking in your eyeballs, which is a bit touch.

483
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: So I think that, like, the thing is humanity. You know,

484
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: we're all busy fighting each other when we should be

485
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: busy fighting the wasps. M let's get them. Yeah, like

486
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: we everybody listening to this go find a wasps nest

487
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: and fight it, right, Yes, but don't do that otherwise, Max,

488
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: don't don't do that, Max. Max's parents are gonna be

489
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: furious with me. After it's your birthday. You're exempted from

490
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: the wasp wars. Think of the lives who would save Max. So, Fellers,

491
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: I have a photo for you. It's a picture of

492
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: something lying in someone's blue gloved hand. Can you describe

493
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: it to me? It is sort of Lovecraft's fly fishing hook.

494
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: M agree to that? Yeah? I like that. It's like

495
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like a piece of weird kelp. Right,

496
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: it's got sort of a kelpie kelpie look, and it's God.

497
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: It looks like another of God's mistakes. Let's just say, yeah,

498
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't trust my holes around this thing. This thing

499
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: seems like something that does stuff to holes. YEA, yeah,

500
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: that is Actually your intuition about protecting your holes is

501
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: very very on point here. So what we were looking at.

502
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: Is god? It really? Okay? So where do I start?

503
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Do I start with a weird broccoli looking stuff or

504
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: the bulb broccoli? Weird broccoli, maybe the probi tendril? Yeah, okay.

505
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: So there's imagine a bulb and it kind of looks

506
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: like a kelp bulb. But then there's like a stem

507
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: that comes off of it, and off of that stem

508
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: is like a hammerhead. Now let's go back to the bulb.

509
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: On the other end of the bulb, it looks like

510
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of broccoli or weird cauliflower growing off of it.

511
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: And this is all sort of a brownish greenish color,

512
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of like kelp uh. And then underneath the broccoli

513
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: stuff is a tail that's just like a tube. This

514
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 1: looks like a ship. Brockway would fly in Destiny Too.

515
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: That's a Destiny drip slam Maxill love that one. Yeah. Yeah,

516
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: accessible accessible, that's why you bring us on? Is this accessible?

517
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: Universal humor? Based on my esthetic choices in Destiny Too?

518
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: So big ups to marine biologist doctor Jimmy Burnout on Twitter,

519
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: who provided a studying picture of this thing. There is

520
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: surprisingly scant info on this, Like there are some papers

521
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: on it. But as far as I can tell, there's

522
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: not like a lot of popular info about it. There's

523
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: not like a ton of sort of easily readable information

524
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: on it. Uh. Yeah, you don't get into biology to

525
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: study this. Yeah, it's not. It's not a real popular

526
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: miss mash of biological atrocities. People just you know, it's

527
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: not really a trendsetter. Yeah it is. Uh. It is

528
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: a copa pod. So this is the giant copa pod

529
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: Cephreon levi atum. That doesn't sound like I said it right,

530
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: but sippypop, Yeah, it legatum, tie burrow, wind to your colon.

531
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a copa pod. It's found in the South Atlantic Ocean. U.

532
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: The giant copa pod is actually a crustacean, which is weird. Uh,

533
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: And it's weird. It's related to other copa pods, So

534
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: copa pods. There's a big group of stuff of these

535
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: little crustaceans called copa pods, and copa pods tint to

536
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: be very small. Often they're like they can be like

537
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: planktonically small. But the giant copa pod is an exception.

538
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand or

539
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortably embedded inside of you if you're a fish. I

540
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: knew that was coming this jee you can just spot

541
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: a whole dweller mile away. Yeah, so we're going to

542
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: talk about the cusk eel. You guys want to talk

543
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: about the cusk eel cuskeel cusk eel, I'm in so.

544
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Uh the cuskeel is a family of eel like bony fish.

545
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: They uh, there are various species of cusk eel. One

546
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: is called the king clip. I think there's like a

547
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: pink cusk eel. Um. You know they're it's a fish

548
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: and they are unfortunate to be the targets of the

549
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: giant copa pod who likes to burrow themselves into the

550
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: cusk eel's chin. Yeah, and so their chin. I wasn't

551
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: expecting that the devil's goatee got a little broccoli soul patch.

552
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's making funnier like I didn't choose it. Yeah, part

553
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: which part dangles out of the eel, the the broccoli part,

554
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: the hammer head part is embedded inside of the cuskeel. Okay, Yeah,

555
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: So they bury that hammer head portion of their body,

556
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: uh like under the cuskel's mouth into the flesh and

557
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: they have a tiny mouth on that hammerhead portion and

558
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: then suck the juices. Oh, I thought they were going

559
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: to take like little tiny bites of everything it eats,

560
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: like just taking a fry off of their plate every time. Yeah,

561
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: I'll take one of those. Just imagining this thing like

562
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: flopping around, like trying to get the fry into some

563
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: ketchup and be like you. I maybe all that. I

564
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: may be a shame on the eyes of the creator,

565
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: but I do like ketchup on my fries. Say that

566
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: you're my best friend, copa pot You'll never kill me.

567
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: I'd like, just give me the large fry because my

568
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: soul patch, I know, my soul patch is gonna have

569
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: a few it says. It's not now it sucks juices

570
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: out of the fish as far as I can tell, honestly.

571
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you are a giant copa pod

572
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: expert out there and I got something wrong, please let

573
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: me know. I want to talk to you, because I

574
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: have been able to find very little information about this thing.

575
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: I would very much not like to talk to a

576
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: giant Coupa pod expert. You've made a lot of bad choices,

577
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: Giant couple pod expert. I'm gonna end up on someone

578
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: else's body shelf. Yeah, you're something that something's going to

579
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: burrow into you. They'll have something that will burrow into you.

580
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: You're not and out of that conversation without a second

581
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: being yet. I think I probably on probably on purpose,

582
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: but he might just have a couple of him that

583
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: he'd forgotten his pockets. Yeah, are going to get left behind.

584
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I've priority got a few buddies living inside me,

585
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: so you know more than merrill. Well, I mean, if

586
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: you want to rock a soul patch, it's fine. So yeah,

587
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: they you know, basically attached themselves under the chin. And

588
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: I bet you're wondering what that broccoli looking thing is. God,

589
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: that's sex organs it is. I have no idea what

590
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: it is. Apparently no one else does either. So yeah,

591
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: it's the beneficiary soulbit. It's like every every one of

592
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: these relationships is give take, there has to be a benefit,

593
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: and it's the soul patch. Like you can't if you're

594
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: a fish, you cannot grow the soul patch short of this.

595
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you want one, and you really do

596
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: want one, yeah, there's a price. Yeah, there you go.

597
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: It's a usually beneficial symbiosis. I think it's what you

598
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: call that in the Midnight Zone. I guess, I mean

599
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: you would call it that. I guess if soul patches

600
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: were something that the Kuski all wanted. Kevin Smith, you

601
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: like my soul patch, doesn't like you, welcome to the

602
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: Midnight Zone. What if everyone's soul patches had a soul Wow?

603
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: That might be Okay, that's definitely one. That's episode seven.

604
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: We're going out on that. So now, I do you

605
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: want to talk to the jant cob Bought experts. You

606
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: guys couldn't figure out the broccoli. I mean maybe someone has.

607
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: I could like, it could got four chunks on it.

608
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: You can't figure out twenty five of the chunks. It

609
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: could be something that someone's figured out but I couldn't find.

610
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: So if you know what the pod broccoli is all about,

611
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: let me know. I would guess that what you searched

612
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: for broccoli? What is PCO broccoli? Um? I would guess

613
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: it's something to do with gosh, probably gas exchange or

614
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: aeration of some kind, just because I'm thinking it's a

615
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: weird surface area. Stuff like this, like branching. Weirdness of

616
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: the surface area makes me think something to do with

617
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: aeration or change. Yeah, it's probably how it goes up

618
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: and down. Maybe yeah, maybe maybe how it's like has

619
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: helps with its respiration or helps aerate its eggs. I

620
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's broccoli. It's just broccoli getting their

621
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: house for my lunch. It could just be a real,

622
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: a real sloppy as a species up. I would love that.

623
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: I would love that the person who preserved the specimen

624
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: dropped a piece of broccoli from their stir fry into

625
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: the jar. It's like, well, well, yeah, yeah, I'm the

626
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: only one who took this course. And now they just

627
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: they're stuck in a lie because the thing is so

628
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: rare that they're just like, nah, yeah, no, that's part

629
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: of it. That's part of the creature. Yeah, what does

630
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: it do? We don't science. Science doesn't know. Well, you

631
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: found one without broccoli. That's a totally new kind. I

632
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: wonder if anyone's ever tasted it. Without question, the freak

633
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: who majored in copa pot Yeah, that's what biologists used

634
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: to do. They used to taste the animals they would study,

635
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: Like Darwin definitely ate a turtle from the Gallapagos, a tortoise, sorry,

636
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: probably heat and I wanted or two too. You know,

637
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: they ain't got him every single kind of finch, all

638
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: those barnacles. He was obsessed with barnacles. The finches start

639
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: of all ving beaks to peck at Darwin because it's like,

640
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Ohwin measures. This is a very interesting form of evolution,

641
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: Anti Darwin beaks. Because I keep eating these birds, the

642
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: whole island just evolves. So in an eternal war with Darwin,

643
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: it's the Anti Darwin Island has a plague? Can we

644
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: pitch this show instead of that when we were talking

645
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: about earlier? I feel like it's a good spin off.

646
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: Benson and Jerry go to Galapagos together and fight Charles Darwin.

647
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin Smith. Welcome to Anti Darwin Island. It's like,

648
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: oh god, I don't know. I'm not even going to

649
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: bring up that show that's island based because Max might

650
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: be listening. But it's bad. There's like a man, yeah really, yes, yeah,

651
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: that's the one I'm talking about. It's so it's so bad,

652
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to bleep it out because I don't I know.

653
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Max has like unrestricted access to the Internet and I

654
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: don't want them finding it and spend and chooses to

655
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 1: spend that time immersed in horrors and still yes, still

656
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: there's something too horrible, much too horrible. Um, well, so

657
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: we did it. We I feel like these animals could

658
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: definitely have an SCP entry. They are horrifying and they

659
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: don't seem real. They kind of seem made up. But

660
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: that's just what the government wants you to think, so

661
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: that you know, when the war against humans from the

662
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: wasps comes, they can step in and be the heroes.

663
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: That's my conspiracy theory. I would punch up the COPA

664
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: pod entry a little bit if I was if I

665
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: was doing SEP editing, I'd be like something, Yeah, it

666
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: needs a creature redesign. But I like the concept of

667
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: digging into someone's head and forming a goatee, Like I

668
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: feel like that's the start of something pretty. I think

669
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: I would at least say the broccoli is poison yeah, yeah,

670
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: or our second organism living on it, maybe like a

671
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: like a another element of conflict. Yeah. I probably wouldn't

672
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: just land on Oh what do you think? It is?

673
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: So much of science is that though? Just like I

674
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you think? Yeah? Well, before we go,

675
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: I would like to play a little game with you guys. Oh,

676
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 1: that's fun and let's do it. It's a man I refuse,

677
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: I refuse, Katie. It is called the Mystery Animal Sound

678
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 1: game Guess Who's squawking? Every week I play a mister

679
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: animal sound and you the listener, and you the guest,

680
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: try to guess who's squawking. It could be any animal

681
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: in the world, anyone. This is the fartiest floor of

682
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: the giant couple. How'd you guess? God? Now I have

683
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: to get a different one. Han, okay, all right, all right,

684
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: I gotta gotten goe. So this was last week's mystery

685
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: animal sound. This was the hint. It's not a cool,

686
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: refreshing Italian treat, but a lip smacking animal. Nonetheless, you

687
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 1: share my not an Italian treat, Galan, No, you haven't

688
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: even listened to the sound. How would you know? That

689
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: is filthy? How dare you? Here's another one? Hello, m

690
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: Well whoever her husband is doing something right? Oh? I

691
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but I feel like I

692
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't be listening to it. Well. Congratulations to Aunt b,

693
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: Joey p and Ariel who all guess correctly that this

694
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: is the gelata, not gelato or gelato, but the gelata.

695
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: What is that. What does it look like? What is

696
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: gelata is? It's abruptoli with a with a tear goat.

697
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: It's a goat that likes to party almost. It's kind

698
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: of like a baboon. Okay, okay. So it is a

699
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: species of Old world monkey that live in the Ethiopian highlands,

700
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: and they look a lot like baboons, but they are

701
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: just a close relative. They are very complex socially. They

702
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: have like very like hierarchical societies, a lot of complex

703
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: social interactions, and they can also smack and move their

704
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: lips to manipulate sounds in a way that is extremely

705
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: similar to human speech, more so than any other primate.

706
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Congratulations gelatas. Yeah, they can make fun of us really effectively.

707
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm a human man, that's you. I've got marital problem

708
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: because I'm a human. Oh, by the force, I don't

709
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: even have flared up anal glands. Got us monkey, I

710
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: have a concept of the future. It makes me sad. Oh,

711
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: it's funny, because it's true. I like to ride my bicycle. Yeah,

712
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: they're constantly making fun of us, but yeah, it's it's

713
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: it is uncanny when you hear them like that clip

714
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: I just had you listened to it sounds like a

715
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: person just kind of going like, okay, yeah, it's kind

716
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: of offensive. We really got our numbers, really hurt my feelings.

717
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: Well onto this week's mystery animal sound. The hint is

718
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: there a frog in your mouth? Or are you just

719
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: happy to see me? Hang on? The sound hasn't played,

720
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: so you can't you can't guess. Okay, it sounds like

721
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: a Miss Piggy choke. I'm gonna I'm gonna guess Miss Piggy.

722
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: Oh man again, I'm really sorry to Max's parents. I

723
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna know what a muppet is. Eight. Oh,

724
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: that's a spider party horn. All the legs make different tones.

725
00:50:53,560 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: That's fun harmonica. Yeah, that's how a spider complaint while

726
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: it's being paralyzed. Dauber any other guesses? You guys, are

727
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: you gonna go with spider party horn? Malaysian mouth frog? Wow?

728
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: Close but no, get it? No? Close but no. It's

729
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: probably the same baboon from earlier, Just like messing with us.

730
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: It's actually the sound of the broccoli being stepped on.

731
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a giant coupa pod broccoli being squashed

732
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: by a clumsy coupa pod scientist. The actual answer that's

733
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: not broccoli, or is it. I'll keep you in suspense.

734
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: It'll be released next week with next creature feature. Wow,

735
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: I can speak good human sentence. I'm not a gelt
