1
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and I've got a real bad baby

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Yota problem in my attic. I hear them scrounging around

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: all the time and nibbling on the insulation. We're gonna

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: have to lay some traps. Well today on the show, uh,

7
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Star Wars Animal. You know those Star Wars They got

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: some pretty goofy animals like ton Ton's and Banthers and Blurgs.

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: But I bet good old Mother Nature has whipped up

10
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: some animals are even weirder than what you can find

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: in a Star Wars. We'll look at some of the

12
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: habits of real life porks, find ourselves unable to hide

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: from a monster scarier than the starl pit, and explore

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the world of an adorable alien looking antelope. Discover this

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: and more as we answer the angel question, why does

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Fluke Skywater have hundreds of lightsabers? Is it to throw

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: a Jedi rave? So why does everybody love Star Wars.

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about any movie or trilogy in particular,

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: but even when people are mad at Star Wars it's

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: because they love some aspect of Star Wars and they

21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: get frustrated when it's not Star Wars ng the way

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: they want it to. What causes this intense passion? Well,

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Harvard law professor cast Sunseten argues that Star Wars is

24
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: about behavioral psychology. The popularity of a New Hope, he claims,

25
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: was due, in part two, informational cascades, where people base

26
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: their decisions on the decisions made by other people, like

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: limings going off a cliff, or in this case, people

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: lining up at the theater, causing rumors to spread about

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: long lines, causing more people to line up at the theaters,

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: and so on. However, limings don't actually follow each other

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: off cliffs. That's a misinformation campaign against lemmings. Likewise, not

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: all of Star wars popularity is due to people being

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: sheep or do backs. I'm not actually sure what the

34
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Star Wars version of sheep are, but to me, the

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: success of Star Wars is due to two basic ingredients.

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: A solid hero story where we feel like we could

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: be Luke Skywalker, poles eyeing womper outs from our t

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: sixteens back at home, rising from irrelevance to save the galaxy.

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: But the second part of its success is the rich

40
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: creature filled universe were dropped into, getting to discover completely

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: new animals, beings, and ecological biomas. A diverse painting of

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Star Wars monsters and critters isn't just I candy. In

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the original Star Wars, we got a sense of history

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: with these alien creatures, that they had complex behaviors and

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: evolutionary stories. Today, I want to celebrate this aspect of

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Star Wars by revealing that, hey, we kind of live

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: in a Star Wars. The animals right here on Earth

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: are just as insane, if not more so then the

49
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: things concocted by a caffeinated George Lucas jo me today

50
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: to have a Star War is actor, writer and film

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: analyst Maggie may Fish. Hello, I'm so excited to have

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: you for this one. I'm so excited to told me

53
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: what it was about. So yeah, I knew you would

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: love this one, and I feel like you will bring

55
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: so much the conversation because I like I like a

56
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Star Wars, star like a Star Wars. I don't think

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: I've delved into the mythos probably as much as you have.

58
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, well, actually, as you were talking. I did

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: remember that growing up I had it was like a

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: fake biology book. But it's all about Star Wars. That

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: is so cool. Yeah, I actually was. It was too

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: in depth for me to understand as a kid. So

63
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I just looked at the phone. Love that. I love

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: that so much. I I when I was a kid,

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: I would sort of draw pictures of fake animals and

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, all sorts of animal habits for them and

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: mating rituals and all that ritual I was an innocent kid,

68
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: so I didn't. I just when they sing songs to

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: each other and they get married and then somehow babies.

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know important though. But so first I want

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: to talk about Porgs because they're one of my I

72
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: know that the new Star Wars is pretty controversial. It's

73
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: got its ups and down, twist turn sideways is us,

74
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: some plot things that maybe aren't great, some plot things

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: that seemed like exactly that it's a war. We're doing

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: a fast knock on a star war. Uh. Yeah, But

77
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: Porgs are I think perfect. I think that they did

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: a perfect job on that. Yeah. As when the last

79
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: one came out, I saw a lot of tweets going

80
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: around that was like thank Ryan Johnson for porgs. Just

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: thank him because they weren't needed, and they were there anyways.

82
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, actually they were necessary in terms of the cinematography.

83
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: So they the part of Star Wars where Luke was

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: a grump. So like Ray, the new Jedi, goes to

85
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: Luke to get training, but Luke is old and crotchety,

86
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm tired of Star Wars, get off,

87
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Get off of my rock. And this rock is actually

88
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: uh skelling Michael, I hope that's I'm pronouncing. I was

89
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: actually just there about like two months ago. Yeah, we

90
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: went to where they filmed those scenes in Ireland. Yeah. Yeah,

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: it's off the coast of Ireland. It's just a big

92
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: craggy rock in the middle of the ocean. It's actually

93
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: the roosting spot for a ton of puffins. And when

94
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: they filmed it, they're like, this is the perfect rock

95
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: for us to put Luke. But there's so many puffins here.

96
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: We can't edit out all the puffins. So instead of

97
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: editing them out, they just turned them into pork. Those

98
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: are my favorite film stories where like there's this huge

99
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: obstacle and then through creativity they kind a way to

100
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: like make work. You know that? To me, I think

101
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: that is sort of like the Mother of creation is

102
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: like when you get a random animal that you just

103
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: can't edit out of the films, Like, I guess we

104
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: got to work with you. How would you describe a porg?

105
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: It is a I would say a penguin, A puffin,

106
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: and a pug. That's what it is. Lastly, the thing

107
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: in the face is a pug. But I do I

108
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: do have a couple of animals that people may not

109
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: have heard of that I think are very poor glike. So,

110
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: but first you want to talk about puffins, I do,

111
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about because puffins are pretty great.

112
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: I think even without adding a like a pug face

113
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: to a puff and they're already pretty awesome. So puffins

114
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: are a group of species of ac or. They're these

115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: small seabirds and actually there used to be a larger

116
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: version of this called the great ac but they are extinct.

117
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: They they they're sleeping with the fishes now that so

118
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: they're almost are I feel like a lot of large

119
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: versions of animals that used to be are extinct. Yes,

120
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: probably because we're the top predator and so yeah, I

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: mean it's I mean part of it is resource Like,

122
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: when you're bigger, you require more resources, and it can

123
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: be harder for you to find that ecological niche without

124
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: going extinct. And yeah, I mean you're also probably because

125
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: you're bigger, maybe you don't have as many many chicks

126
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: per per season and such. So it's like you're you're

127
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: kind of putting all your eggs about it. One big

128
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: old Bassay. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of my

129
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: audience is already already used to me being their dad. Um,

130
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: it's fine, I'm everybody's dad. I'll be your dad. My

131
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: dad is great, but you was good. Both. We can

132
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: be co dad. It's fine. Everyone's welcome onboard the Dad train.

133
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: So all living species of ox can fly in the

134
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: air and underwater, including puffins. And I want to show

135
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: you this because it's incredible to see that little little

136
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: flapping creature that is a puffin just flying underwater. Oh

137
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: my god, it looks it's different from what you would

138
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: expect that you kind of you don't think of when

139
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: you think of. What I realized researching this is that

140
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: when I try to picture penguins or puffins swimming, I

141
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: just picture them diving. I didn't really picture them flapping underwater,

142
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: but that is exactly what they do. Yeah, so, and

143
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: they kind of like jet it's almost like they flapp

144
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: and then write it for a while. Yeah, and they're

145
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: extremely nimble. They're totally comfortable underwater, but they can't walk,

146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: so good good And oh you're not so you're not

147
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: too jealous, right there, there's they nurfed that stat a

148
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: little bit. So there are three species of puffins. The

149
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: Atlantic puffin, which is the most iconic. I think it's

150
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: like the puffin you think of. It's the puffin on

151
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: that trigger Joe's cereal, remember puffins? Yeah, uh, it's then

152
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: there's also the horned puffin and the tufted puffin. So

153
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: first the Atlantic puffins. They are the smallest and they're

154
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,680

00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: it's going directly up, which is really you know, I

184
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,600

00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: at that guy's eyeliner. They are very cool. Looks like

190
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga, like it's very Gaga asked, Yes, it's so

191
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: that horn is actually really interesting. So they are about

192
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: fifteen inches long and a little over pounds. A little

193
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: bigger than the Atlantic puffin. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah,

194
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: it's like like but pork size. I guess it's a handful. Yeah,

195
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: A good a good puffin full you know, hand of

196
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: puffin solid kind of yeah. And they live in the

197
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: North Pacific and they winter south to California and Baja California,

198
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: so more of these bougiebirds. They have a larger beak,

199
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: like vertically it kind of is taller than the Atlantic puffin.

200
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Their beak is light yellow near the face and tipped

201
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: and orange, and they have that really dramatic eyeliner going

202
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: straight up and it's actually a it's not eyelashes. It's

203
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: actually a fleshy extension like kind of horn that grows

204
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: out of their eyelid. And they're they're just like these

205
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: little little d dadsting. Yeah, what is the purpose of

206
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: that on their face? As far as I know, I

207
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: think it's just sexual selection. It's I think that, Yeah,

208
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: they're they're fancy coloration. It's kind of like their beak

209
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: is so brightly colored to all all puffins have that

210
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: really brightly colored beak for sexual selection, and they actually

211
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: shed that beak in off mating seasons because and then

212
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: it's all right. So it's like it's like bright during

213
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: the mating seasons and they shed it and regrow it,

214
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: and when they're not mating, it's dullark because they you know,

215
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: they're regrowing it and they don't need it to ben

216
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: all the time. Like when I wear my pajamas around outside, right,

217
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't at me. I like fancy. I like fancy,

218
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: like day to night pajamas. You know, like like sequin pajamas. Yeah,

219
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: it's just it's pajamas. But no one knows, no one

220
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: has to know. So next are the tufted puffins. I

221
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: feel like these are especially dramatic puffins. So they've got

222
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: hello yes, uh and he looks like Bradley Cooper. What

223
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: they have these big old tufts of feathers coming off

224
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: of the sides of their faces. So uh, they're They're

225
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: also a little bigger than the Atlantic puffin. They they're

226
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: almost two pounds. My god, you could fit half funny,

227
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: you could like weight lift these puffins for a mild exercise,

228
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: for mild slash not at all exercise. Listen, everybody's got

229
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: their own goals, all right, everybody sets their own goals.

230
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm comparing myself to me, not to anybody your year's goal,

231
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: because your resolutions coming. So they also live in the

232
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: North Pacific, and they have black bodies with a white

233
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: face mask and these two tufts of feathers just shooting off.

234
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: And you don't like the twilights in in Star Wars.

235
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: Are the twilight Yes, yes, you know how they have

236
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: those flushing the flushbarns, the head tails that come off.

237
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: It looks exactly like that. Yeah, weird, right? Who was

238
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: the real star war the whole time? Star Wars are puffins?

239
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: What came first? The animal or George? Yeah? I don't know.

240
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: So some quick puffin facts too, because like, puffins aren't

241
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: just a pretty face with crazy dongles coming off their heads.

242
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Puffins are unusual in that they don't they have little

243
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: sexual dimorphism, meaning that both males and females have the

244
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: pretty bright coloration, which is that's fun, that is fun.

245
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: It's usually usually the male birds are the ones putting

246
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: on all the effort and all the makeup, and it's

247
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: just nice to see some gender parody there. And they

248
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: eat mostly small fish like herring, and they can dive

249
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: into the ocean almost two hundred feet underwater. Just I

250
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: have no visual concept for that, but it sounds like

251
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of feet. About two hundred feet feet

252
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: is about two dred I can't picture, but it seems

253
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: like a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. I mean if

254
00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: if one puffin is about a foot, puffin lengths yeah. Uh.

255
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: They can also carry huge numbers of fish in their

256
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: little beaks. They can carry tin fish per trip. Sometimes

257
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: they can carry even more, but tins about their average

258
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: and they have these rasping, hooked tongues, large bill and

259
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: these denticles which means tooth like projections coming off of

260
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: their beak. So if you look inside the puffin beak,

261
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: you pop open the hood of a puffin and it's

262
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of gnarly. Yeah, it looks like an alien. Yeah,

263
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: it's like it's like it's got these cute, chubby cheeks

264
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: and cute little eyeliner and then it's just got like,

265
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a xeno morph coming out of

266
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: its face. Puffin. Other here's some other stats about puffins.

267
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: They can flap their wings up to four times per

268
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: minute in the air. Pretty impressive. I think that's not No,

269
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna do it. Yeah. During mating season, thousands

270
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: of Puffins gathered together on Rocky coastlines to breed and

271
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: to interrupt Star Wars shoots. Oh yeah, hey, well you

272
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: know what a better what a more romantic date and

273
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: being onset as new Star Wars Like, look, Maureen, there

00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: should his doar wartar war? Sh would just do war?

275

276
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: it here? Okay? You and they are they are sweet

277
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: birds because they often remain monogamous, sometimes up to twenty years,

278
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: which is about their lifespan. That's the lifespan of marriages.

279
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: You want it, put a wing on it. That's a

280
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: oh god, I've killed her. Uh. Mackie Mayfish was a

281
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: much beloved YouTuber and film analyst who sadly passed away

282
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: after being dadded to death. My parents would not mourn me. Well,

283
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: i'm your dad now so here maybe this will bring

284
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: you back to life. A baby puffin is called a puffling. Stop.

285
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: I won't stop. I will not stop. Just to quickly

286
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: get through the sad things. Is that seagulls like to

287
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: eat them sometimes? Is there that's actually interesting? Yeah, you

288
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: would think they'd be on the same team. But now birds, birds,

289
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: they're all in it for number one, I think if

290
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: we've learned anything about birds. But another thing that threatens

291
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: the puffin is over fishing in pollution, and there's been

292
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: an alarming decline in the Shetland puffin population off the

293
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: coast of Scotland. So yeah, I mean we should care

294
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: about the puffins. Yes, they're not gone yet, They're they're

295
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: not going on away anytime soon. But there you know,

296
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: we gotta care keep an eye out. Let's uh you know,

297
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: I Katie will go say, just march on out there.

302
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: we have sort of the The Puffin body is pretty

303
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty apparent in the porg. I mean they had to

304
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: I guess, sort of match the Puffins pretty closely for

305
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: the filming. But you also, I think there's a couple

306
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: of animals who's got that face the face cuteness. So

307
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: first is the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel. They are these

308
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: adorable big eyed squirrels. Oh my god, I don't think

309
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: I've ever seen this. It doesn't look real right, No,

310
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: it looks like it looks like Thumper the bunny bandy. Yeah,

311
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: it's got huge, like cartoonishly big eyes, and it's just

312
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: it's adorable. It seems like it's almost as if it

313
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: evolved to be torrible. There's no way you wouldn't need me.

314
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: You wou much more satisfy. It's like they have the

315
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: cute face, but they didn't really evolve the voice to match.

316
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: So they live in the subalpine and boreal forests of Japan.

317
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: They're about five inches eight inches, not not big, not big,

318
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: and they weigh about half a pound, a little under

319
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: half a pound, little guys. Yeah, okay about this, yeah

320
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: about baseball. Sometimes they're used as baseballs now, which is

321
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: why Japan. It's pretty good. So they are very fluffy,

322
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: with light gray fur on their backs and white tummies

323
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: and fluffy tails. And as their name should suggests, they

324
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: can kind of fly. Well, it's more like controlled falling.

325
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: So they have a peta geum, which is a membrane

326
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: of skin between their little four limb ankles in their

327
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: their hind feet ankles, and they can stind that out

328
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: and glide down like like a person in a body flying.

329
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: What's it called a flight suit? Flight suit? The light suit. Yeah,

330
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: also buzz Lightyear falls of a style. I see, Yes,

331
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: exactly they are. They really are the buzz light Years

332
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: of the animal kingdom. The probably actually a lot more

333
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: adept than buzz Lightyear. Probably very helpful. No, what did

334
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: he even do? Nothing? Nothing? Garbagebage, garbage calls to sturb

335
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: he did, cause he did make what he developed as

336
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: a character, which I guess is good. Yes, here's a

337
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: video of one of these these guys, and it is

338
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: extremely cute. They just kind of, yeah they can. They love.

339
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: They love jumping around, jumping from a tall man to

340
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: a short man. That's what they're sort of cost playing

341
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: his trees, I guess to help the help the flying

342
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: squirrel feel more at home. Another little little animal that

343
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: I think is pretty pretty poorglike is the Desert rain frog.

344
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this guy on the show before,

345
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: but I think it is an animal that bears repeating.

346
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: It's not a bear, it's a frog, but repeating so

347
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: it makes a very very cute sound. So so you

348
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: know the little pork. Uh. This I think is even cuter.

349
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: And here's a picture of one of one of these guys.

350
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: It is basically just a frowning bubble. Oh, I love it.

351
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: It's just a grumpy frown, so that little perpetual frown

352
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: that the porks have. This the desert rain frog and

353
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: the black rain frog have that expression. You nailed it,

354
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: those animals together exactly exactly pork. And so these guys

355
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: live in South Africa, They live in the Cape Old

356
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Belt in forests and Faint Boss, which is a belt

357
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: of shrubland vegetation. They live in a climate of dry

358
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: summers and mild wet winters. They actually don't need to

359
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: live right near a big body of water. They do

360
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: find with like moisture inside the sand and the ground.

361
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: They are so round that they can't hop they oh

362
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: my god. That they also give birth to froglets, so

363
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: just a little no eggs, just like tinier versions of themselves,

364
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: which is such a weird way to give birth. Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah,

365
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: not just pops out or be like hey it's me

366
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: and do that like hello. So they burrow into the sand,

367
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: and they have these huge eyes that like big old

368
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: perpetual frown and as if to kind of underscore their

369
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: appearance as a little grumpy ball, they also squeak angrily

370
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: when provoked. That's what you're hearing me, That is their

371
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: angry squeak. Oh my god, so we've done it. We've

372
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: made a pork. Now if we can just get this dangle,

373
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: scientists to put all those genes together in a big old,

374
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: the big old vial, right, you just chake it around.

375
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: That's how science works. That's how you do it, and

376
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: you pour it out. It's got pork. Yeah, if they

377
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: do that, I don't know. I mean scientists. I'm not

378
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: going to tell you how do you do your jobs?

379
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: But maybe do your jobs? Do your job? Jeez. The

380
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: force is important for jedies and sith, but is the

381
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: force important for animals? Behavioral researchers have studied how the

382
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: perception of control over your environment can affect your performance

383
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: on tasks. Remember that scene where Obi Wan tells Luke

384
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: to turn his Google Maps off and to take out

385
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: the death Star using the force. That kind of confidence

386
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: in being able to manipulate your world really does lead

387
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: to a performance. In the nineteen seventies, researchers conducted studies

388
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: on people and animals, testing to see how they responded

389
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: to control or a lack of control over their environments,

390
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: especially when faced with an unpleasant stimulus. And let's just

391
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: say the researchers were kind of Darth vadery. In one study,

392
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: they gave dogs small electric shocks, allowing one group of

393
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: dogs to stop the shocks by pressing a metal bar,

394
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: but the other group had no such option. Real ninth

395
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: Darth vade nerds Anyways, the dogs who were given control

396
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: over the shocks were able to figure out an escape

397
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: path from the shocking room, whereas the other dogs had

398
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: given up, probably while giving subtle middle paw fingers to

399
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the researchers. This kind of result has been replicated in

400
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: other studies, where control over one's environment improves the health

401
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: and ability to accomplish tasks in both humans and animals.

402
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: So even though the Force may not let you lift

403
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: up spaceships, believing that you have the force, maybe a

404
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: powerful thing itself still doesn't let me. Will the remote

405
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: control over towards me? Oh well, wait, maybe I believe

406
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: really hard? No, no, not doing it. When we return,

407
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: we'll explore the dark side of the Force with a

408
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: very real and very horrible monster who haunts my dreams.

409
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Screen Crawl, episode four, Imagination Station. It is a period

410
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: of oceanic civil war. Fluke Skywater, a young, handsome and

411
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: slightly irritating fish, has been captured by Boba Fish and

412
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: is being held by Blubber the Hut along with his

413
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: friends Finn Solo Finces Rayfish and other cool fish friends.

414
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Blubber the Huts evil squid guards have led Fluke Skywalker

415
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: and the gang over to an unassuming pile of sand

416
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: on the ocean floor. Sand huh, says Fluke Skywalker. That's

417
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: all you've got. I'm not afraid of some stupid sand.

418
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Suddenly the sand starts to churn like a volcano about

419
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: to erupt, and as fast is underwater lightning, a pair

420
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: of huge, blade like jaws burst from the ground, followed

421
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: by a long, iridescent, purple worm like body. Fluke Skywalker

422
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: barely has time to register the site of this tentacled,

423
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: per lescent, blade faced, warm creature before he's cut clean

424
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: in half by its massive jaws. So yeah, that's uh.

425
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: I feel like a better version of the Starlac Pit.

426
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: That was a better version than the movie that I

427
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: saw a couple of weeks ago. I mean, like, okay,

428
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: I get in the movie you can't kill off the

429
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: hero howeverever. It would have been pretty rad. It would

430
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: have been red and no spoilers. But they did, but

431
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: then they didn't. They didn't, then they didn't. So with

432
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: the killing off the hero thing back and forth, just

433
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: one of them, just like measure twice with the Starlac

434
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: Pit and cut once is my thing. Then you don't

435
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: have to keep bringing the hero back and forth and

436
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: back and forth from death and stuff. Just die, just

437
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: die and star like. I think that would have been great.

438
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Star war Over. Star War Over would have been really

439
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: small exactly. The massive beak in tentacles symbolizes uh Hebron says, yeah,

440
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: the man's at Uh yeah, you need a Johnny Monster. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,

441
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a real life Is it

442
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: called the Sarlac Sarlac worm or is it just the pit?

443
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: It's called the Sarlac Pit. You know that was in

444
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: this heavy, big heavy book that I had growing up

445
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: that I could not read. I think I'm not so

446
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: I didn't read it. I would assume that the pit

447
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: is just the pit that the starlock. Right, but it is,

448
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: but it is called the Sarlac, right, yes, right? Okay, So, um,

449
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: a real life watches kidding murdered just like Twitter is like,

450
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: um actually games um actually, if you refer to the

451
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: compendium of Star Wars. So this is called the Bobbit worm,

452
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: which is also known as the sand Striker. It's a

453
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: scientific name. Is a little less menacing. It's Eunice afroditos

454
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: afrod did toys Unice? Maybe nice so it is pretty

455
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: if you look at it through a very different perspective

456
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: than normal. So it's a species of bristle worm that

457
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: lives on the ocean floor in the Atlantic Ocean. It's

458
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: not a deep sea fish, despite how horrifying it looks.

459
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: It often inhabits coral reefs because that's where it's unsuspecting

460
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: prey likes to hang out. The reason it's called the

461
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: bobbit worm is allegedly because of the John and Lorna

462
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Bobbit case. Do you know of that one that was

463
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: the things in the nineties or eighties. It's actually kind

464
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: of I feel like it's always kind of awkward when

465
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: it's joked about, because so the short version of it

466
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: is Lauren and Bobbitt is a woman who uh cut

467
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: off her husband John's penis after alleged domestic abuse. Oh

468
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: this is yes, okay, and it's actually so that's kind

469
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: of horrifying. But then the media back in the day

470
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: was like, look at this funny thing, and I do actually, yes,

471
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I know the controversy right right, and you know, look

472
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: in the natural world, they're all sorts of fun penis

473
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: hi jinks, but I think in this case it's kind

474
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: of inappropriate how it has made fun of. There's a

475
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: lot of other weird penises to laugh at, right exactly,

476
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe not in this case that involves domestic violence and things.

477
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: Uh and uh it's uh yeah. But I think that

478
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: the bobb it warm is allegedly named after that, not

479
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: because it's like phallic, but because of its ability to

480
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: cut things in half, which you couldn't. Because it feels

481
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: like it's a double entendre. Maybe it is. I think

482
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: I think whoever named this this, this scientist was a

483
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: dirty bird. Dirty bird. So the bobbit worm is even

484
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: more unbelievable looking than the sarlac to me, let me

485
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: get you a picture. See how it's like rainbow and iridescent.

486
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: It reminds me. I am one of a very few

487
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: people that I that I don't find cockroaches very gross.

488
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: They look like the look of it doesn't creep me out,

489
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: and that kind of looks like a cockroach where it's

490
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: I think cockroaches are kind of like a pretty color.

491
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like that red brown. You know what's

492
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 1: funny is I am probably one of the most like

493
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: accepting random people of like insects, but cockroaches is one

494
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: thing I'm not accepting of. It's like, I have no

495
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: like the bobbit worm to me looks kind of pretty.

496
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: It's like your rainbow and you got giant jaws. That's cool.

497
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know cockroaches. I think it's that

498
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: they're so they get right in there, you know. The

499
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: about the thing for me that's like that is millipedes

500
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: are centipedes. Yeah, well, I actually I like I like

501
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: those guys. But and I like the giant hissing cockroaches

502
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: because somehow it's the ones that I just associate with,

503
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: Like you know, in the kitchen. In the kitchen, you're

504
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: walking late at night, your foot touches something crunchy on

505
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: the floor and you look down. So this guy, though,

506
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: is a long, old, long, long, long, warm. It is iridescent,

507
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: it's got like a rainbow sheen. It's got a hard

508
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: segmented exoskeleton, and it's also got kind of a purplish

509
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: hue to it. Unfortunately, you can't see it's horrifying beautiful

510
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: majesty because most of the time it's buried under the

511
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: sandy ocean floor. Um, it can grow up to ten

512
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: ft long. Oh my god, that's that's ten puffins. That's

513
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: tin puffins and ted puffins. Long, it's just the puffing

514
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: walking around like dude, I have seventeen kids. Um, it's

515
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: actually kind of a thin noodle guy, because it's only

516
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: about an inch in diameter, so I don't know that

517
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: it could fit a puffin inside of it, which I

518
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: guess is good news for the puffins. Uh. It's got

519
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: spiny leg like appendages all over its body, which is

520
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: just great. It's got a horrific feeding apparatus called a pharynx,

521
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: which includes these massive jaws that are like these just

522
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: two sabers that just close on anything unlucky enough to

523
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: have that happened to, which is mostly fish and sometimes octopuses.

524
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: And it it also has five striped antenna that looked

525
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: like little tentacles, which it uses two cents prey as

526
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: it approaches, and those giants set that the set of

527
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: giant bone hard serrated man mandibles will just like snap

528
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: clothes as soon as those tentacles, uh detect movement. Yeah,

529
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a mouse trap, but that's really yeah,

530
00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: like mouse trout. Uh. And at night it his head

531
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: out of its little little hidy hole and it goes like, oh,

532
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: time to catching fish. I don't know why. It has

533
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: a cute, cute little voice like that. It's funny. He's

534
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: only skinny, a big old noodle boy, and I'm going

535
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: to eat me some fish. Rebranding the Bobbit Worm isn't

536
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: a lovable children's characters exactly, it's some marketing. The snore

537
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: SNAs a pokemon. I think. I guess this one could

538
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: be a pokemon too, to be honest. So once it's

539
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: that antenna mouse trap gets set off and those jaws

540
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: close in, they can actually cut a fish in half.

541
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: That's how powerful they are. And if it will certainly

542
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: stun the fish. And once that fish gets grabbed, it

543
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: will pull it under the sand, never to be seen again.

544
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: And as the fish tries to escape that sound, sand

545
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: ground can just kind of pulsate with like the fish

546
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: kind of trying to see surface and the and then yeah,

547
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: and the bob it you just see it like yanking

548
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: it and then like stillness. You want to see it. Yeah,

549
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: it's bad. So there it is, laying in wait, and

550
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: it's like it's kind of pretty. It's rainbow colored. It's

551
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: it's gorgeous. Actually, I would love nail polish and with

552
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: that kind of like sheen on it other than the

553
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: big old mandibles, it's it's pretty neat. And then once

554
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: it grabs it, you can see this like the struggle

555
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: and it yanks it down. Isn't that horrifying? Whoa when

556
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: it's gone and it's gone, and then you can see

557
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: the ground kind of like pulsate and yanks it so forcefully.

558
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: It's like such a horror movie thing, isn't it? But

559
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: also weirdly beautiful. Yeah, when just when an animal so

560
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: well adapted like that, it's just like fascinated to watch

561
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: them do it. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, go get a girl,

562
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: that's your Do you think you know who you are?

563
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: You're horrifying hel bees to snatches fish and drags them

564
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: underneath to the nether world, and you do it well?

565
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: Do it well with a beautiful rainbow sheet. Find your niche,

566
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: right exactly. Apparently the mandibles may even inject some talks

567
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: in two into the fish, which I feel like it's

568
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: kind of gilding the lily. I was gonna say, this

569
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: is the wouldn't even need that, I don't know, and

570
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: feel like it's just a little like Okay, calm down now,

571
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: we're not eating puffins here. Okay, if you do, that's fine,

572
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: but don't start again if you don't. So so, bobbit

573
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: worms are actually a big problem for aquarists aquarium owners,

574
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: from hobbyists to even like public aquariums. So baby bobb

575
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: it's uh baby, baby bobbit. They can hit your ride

576
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: on commercial aquatic plants for saltwater aquariums that can even

577
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: hide in coral that you can buy at the store.

578
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: And then once they get in your tank, they don't

579
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: stay baby bobbit's for too long. They can grow and

580
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: ground and and some some people will be like, huh,

581
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: my fish are just disappearing. Oh no, and it's a

582
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: big mystery. And then you dismantle your tank and you

583
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: find a bobbit in the bottom. Or well New Quays

584
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Blue Reef Aquarium in the UK there was a news

585
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: story about this where it's and it's this you know,

586
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: aquarium open to the public, big old tanks, and they

587
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: found that their fish just were going missing. It was

588
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: like this like like what's happening to our fish? This

589
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: this murder mystery and they finally realized it was a

590
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: bobbit warm and they couldn't catch it, they couldn't lure

591
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: it out of its hole, so they hadn't dismantle the

592
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: entire aquarium. Oh my god to get this huge bobbit

593
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: warm out. Yeah, that's what a stinker. An stinker, that's

594
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: and also it's not like you chose that life, so

595
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: the bobbit life. Yeah. So yeah, if you own an aquarium,

596
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: a saltwater aquarium, and your fish are just disappearing, you

597
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: may have a horrifying worm living in there. I would

598
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: love a tank though, just filled with bobbit worms. Yeah,

599
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: and you just buy fish to like feed it. Like

600
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: this fish is like, wow, this is a nice new

601
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: horror serie. Silence, wonder where are the other fish are?

602
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: So I think to fight the bobbit worm, we need

603
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: a fluke skywater, and I have just the fish for

604
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: the job, the secret lightsaber sharks. So these are species

605
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: of sharks who can glow in the dark using biofluorescence,

606
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: which is this it's a relatively recent discovery because we

607
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: can't see it with the naked eye. I actually, I

608
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: guess I have been being ching uh nature talcumentaries um

609
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: and yeah, because the app by the way of that

610
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,479
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, because there's something like that we can't see.

611
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: We didn't realize that they were emitting it. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

612
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: So biofluorescence is naked to those of us who are

613
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: not strong in the shark force. So to see it,

614
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: marine biologist used a blue light camera which mimicked the

615
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: shark eyes that see in blue and green. And so

616
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: for sharks, this glowing green biofluorescence just pops out like

617
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree and sorry, like a creature Kringle times tree.

618
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What I meant was, so the biofluorescence lights

619
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: up in these beautiful green, glowing patterns. I know you've

620
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: probably seen it before, but let me just show you

621
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: because it's great. Look at that. That's gorgeous. It looks like, uh,

622
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: you know when you see those maps where it's like

623
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: here's Paris from spin That's right, that's right, like a

624
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: like a satellite map of the Earth, as the cities

625
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: are all all a light. Maybe we're just a big shark.

626
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is too this is too much for

627
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: always fish. So this has been found in cat sharks

628
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: and swell sharks, and it's thought to be in many

629
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: other species as well. Cat shark and a swell shark.

630
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: They're cute little guys. You can you can hold them

631
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: like a baby. Yeah, I mean they might nibble on

632
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: you and try to hold they're they're generally non threatening

633
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: to humans at all. They they're really they're cuties. They're

634
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: cute little sharks. I know, they're adorable. And this recent

635
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: discovery reveals that they may use this biofluorescence to communicate

636
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: with each other. The glowing patterns are unique to eat

637
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: each species of shark and even to each sex of sharks.

638
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: So there seems to be some community like almost like

639
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: a business card of like or like a text yeah

640
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: exactly what yeah? Or like or like a profile like

641
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: like a Facebook profile or something like some kind of

642
00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: form of communication. Um I like adventures asl And this

643
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: glow is generated by newly discovered glowing compounds that are

644
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: amplified by these tiny rigid denticles, so denticals, like we

645
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: talked about it with the puffins in their in their beaks.

646
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: Denticles are tooth like projections, so they don't have to

647
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: occur in the mouth. They can also be on the skin,

648
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: so on these sharks, they have tiny teeth all over

649
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: their bodies. You're making a face. You're just as you're

650
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: describing to me. I don't like it. You don't want

651
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: to be covered in teeth. Well, to each to each

652
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: their own. So so that but these little, these little projections,

653
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: these little spiny projections, actually help amplify the glowing compounds

654
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: like lightsaber. So the scientistics describe them as being like

655
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: these hundreds and hundreds of lightsabers all over the sharks skin.

656
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: You specifically describe them as lights, Yes, they did nerds.

657
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: So biofluorescence, you may be thinking of bioluminescence, but similar,

658
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: similar vibe, but they are different things. So biofluorescence absorbs

659
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: light from the sun and re emits it as a

660
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: different color, whereas bioluminescence is light that's been created from

661
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: a chemical reaction. So biofluorace. That's explains also why we

662
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: can't see this biofluorescence with our naked eye. It's not

663
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: we can see bioluminescence with the naked naked eye. It's

664
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: light that's been created from this from these chemical reactions.

665
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: It's very bright, very bright, whereas the biofluorescence it's almost

666
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: like it's reflect it's like translating the sun into a

667
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: different color and it's visible to a shark's eye. And

668
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: it also another weird finding is that this biofluorescence may

669
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: have antimicrobial properties. Oh yeah, that in there, you know,

670
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: just rub it up against his teeth, light teeth. I

671
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: wonder if they like I wonder if in Star Wars

672
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: they use lightsabers and like surgery, like a surgeon has

673
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: like a tiny lightsaber, you know, like a scalpel light exactly,

674
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: like like a Jedi neurosurgeon with a tiny scalpel like

675
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: made out of lightsaber. Right, there are so many more

676
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: uses different lightsaber toast toast, toast, you cut, you slice

677
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: the bread, and you toasted at the same time. This

678
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 1: is That's what I wanted to see, the Mandalorian toasting bread.

679
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: What's up with riding on Variety dot com. The Mandalorian

680
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: fell short of expectations. I wanted to see a more

681
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: versatile lightsaber, such a I don't know, tiny when we

682
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: cut people lean open. Yeah, I would like to see

683
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: some lightsaber saber surgery, you know, yeah, where's the doctor's

684
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: I know, where are the doctors? One? Right, the robot

685
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: orb with a big old syringe, Yes, robot arm and

686
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: then also m whoever was taking care of pod May

687
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: when she died from sadness, So like, can we even truss? Oh, no,

688
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: you've got some guy doesn't like from the Simpsons. Yeah,

689
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: just doesn't know what he's doing. Yeah, and then I guess,

690
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: but and then another doctor. I guess Luke was in

691
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: a vat of some kind to grow. But that's like

692
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: most of the doctors are just like a vat, like

693
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: a big old that going like yod in wine, tell

694
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: me and I'll heal you, you know, or like an

695
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: orb that's like, you know, it's me me doctor. Vaccine,

696
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: here's your flu shot. Why are you ready? Yeah, come

697
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: back and flu sees it is bad this year. Get

698
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: your flu shot. It's free. Why do you love monsters

699
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: so much? Sometimes monsters are a response to cultural fears.

700
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: In Star Wars, the monsters are often gargantuan or of

701
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: unseen proportions, like the star lac pit, the spaceship eating worms,

702
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: the mysterious tentacled creature that lurks in the garbage masher

703
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: in the detention level. Even the man made monstrosities like

704
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: the Death Star can destroy entire planets. This kind of

705
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: catastrophic level of mom sters seems to me to reflect

706
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: the fears of the Cold War nuclear weapons that are

707
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: a constant threat, but one that seems to be lurking

708
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: in the shadows, one that could emerge suddenly and destroy

709
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: our world. Throughout our history, there have been many monsters.

710
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: Monsters like vampires may have been a response to the

711
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: fears around sudden illness and death and mysterious wasting diseases

712
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: like consumption otherwise known as tuberculosis. The zombies are the

713
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: two thousands, may have reflected our fears of the masses.

714
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: As our world became more connected through vast cities and

715
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: our ability to travel, We also shared our problems, such

716
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: as epidemics. My prediction is that new monsters will emerge

717
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: in the twenties, ones that reflect the fears of today,

718
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: such as climate change and extinction. Maybe huge gluttonous monsters

719
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: that devour resources in level entire forests. Maybe just maybe

720
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: we were the monsters the whole sign and I'm just kidding.

721
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: The bobbit worms are definitely the monsters. When we return,

722
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: we'll rip off our Darth vay or helmet and return

723
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: to the light side of the force with an incredibly

724
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: goofy creature. My favorite part of Star Wars is trying

725
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: to figure out how all their goofball creatures could have evolved.

726
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: Why is the tonton bipedal on huge kangaroo legs? Is

727
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: it to hop over icy crags and chasms? Why do

728
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: banthers have such huge horns? Are they used in mating

729
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: contests or sexual selection? Does the wampo like to capture

730
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: live prey and store it and it's larger like a shrew?

731
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: Does the rain corps have a good relationship with its keeper?

732
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: Can it be trained to do fun tricks? There's no

733
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: amount of goofy no, as Star Wars can throw at

734
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: us that doesn't exist in real animals in the real

735
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: world with real, incredible explanations. So let's look at one

736
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: of the wackiest looking mammals in the world and figure

737
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: out why it looks so dang lovable and cookie So.

738
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of the saiga antelope? No? I

739
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: don't think so. The saiga antelope, hope, is like a

740
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: cross between a tan tan and an antelope, and like

741
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: an elephant and a tape beer. It is a real goofball.

742
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: So these are critically endangered species of antelope. They are

743
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: found in grasslands and semi deserts in Central Asia, which

744
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: includes a little part of Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

745
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: They used to have a much wider range and a

746
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: much bigger population, but of course, of course, after overhunting,

747
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: their population declined. We did it again, We did it again.

748
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: We extincted. Yeah, remember Britney spears. It's twenty twenty um.

749
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: But no, they're not extinct yet, but they are critically endangered.

750
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: And these guys are goofy as hell. They're real, they're

751
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: real goofballs. Let me let me show you. I got

752
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: a whole slight changer of these guys. Yes, so here's

753
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: an adult and they have a big, big nose that's

754
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: just this it's like a it's like a big old macaroni, right,

755
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: and it just kind of looks like it's just sitting

756
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: on it, right, right, like something kind of like as

757
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: an afterthought gluted on. And then that the baby one,

758
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: this is a fawn, looks adorable. It still has that

759
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: big floppy nose. Very cute, I think. I think the

760
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: adults are cute too. They're they're goofy goofy. They're silly, right.

761
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: They look like a muppet or like a Sesame Street muppet,

762
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: like the snuffle lophiguss, but with a shorter nose so

763
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: that the snout, which is called a proboscis, it kind

764
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: of looks like a truncated elephant trunk, truncated trunk. And

765
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't I'm just bad at talking. That's not actually,

766
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: So they're not that big. They're about two to three

767
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: feet tall at the shoulders and about six fifty pounds.

768
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, they kind of seem like they would be bigger,

769
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: like a big almost horse like or they're like, but

770
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: they're yeah, no, they're They're like, yeah, they're they're not

771
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: that big, more taller than them to take that, take

772
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: that trouble. So they're light brown tan in the summer

773
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: and they their coat changes in the winter to a

774
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: fluffier grayish white coat. It's pretty pretty nice. And they

775
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: have they are most famous for that huge tubular nose.

776
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: These big you could you could do some sick flips

777
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: off that, and they're not they have like biologically speaking,

778
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: their nostrils are just inflated, I guess, just huge nostrils

779
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: that forms this this well that's a good question, and

780
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: I actually have an answer. So that huge nose has

781
00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: a few purposes. One of them looks looks good, functions, great,

782
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 1: whisper quiet. So it helps filter dust as huge herds

783
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: kick up things as there because they do these mass migrations.

784
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: And if you're that is but when you're in the

785
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: midst of one of these mass migrations, everyone's kicking up dust.

786
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a bunch of dust in your lungs

787
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: and that's no that's no fun. So these huge noses

788
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: prevents that dust from entering the lungs by making it It

789
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: It basically has to like go through this labyrinth of

790
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: like chambers and vestibules, and it just like captures the

791
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: dust and it can't enter the lungs. It also, this

792
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: big nose confunction as an a C unit just like

793
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: this free this air conditional shoved onto its face because

794
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: as it sucks in is the blood runs through it

795
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: and the air passes over the blood. It cools the

796
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: blood that is circulating what I know that is tubular man.

797
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: In the winter, it converts to a space heater. I

798
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't actually go through that much many changes.

799
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: It's just as air is entering. It's it's cavernous and

800
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: it's surrounded in blood vessels and stuff, so it warms

801
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: the air coming in. Uh so yeah, it's a multi functional.

802
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: Uh it's sexy multi functional. I mean, what can't this nose? Do?

803
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: You know? That's a great question. Probably maybe they could

804
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: play it like an insta boat like Max Rebo from

805
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Doesn't he isn't there like a like there's

806
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: a little Star Wars animal who he doesn't have an instrument.

807
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: He's like playing his nose like it's like a pipe, right, ye,

808
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: Like he's holding it and playing it. Yeah. Yeah, So,

809
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, Siga's journey on these massive migrations. Uh.

810
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 1: And it when you look at them from the sky,

811
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: and this is sadly, like you pointed out, this may

812
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: not become a thing if if these guys continue their decline.

813
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: But when you look at it from the sky, it

814
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:07,479
Speaker 1: looks like this huge river of like fluff of these

815
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: antle just like migrating together, and they're so fluffy and

816
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: they're so cool. It's just like this, this flowing river

817
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: of cute fluff. In two hundred thousand, Siga mysteriously died

818
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: off which was a huge blow to them because I

819
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: was like over half of their population. And researchers recently

820
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: discovered the cause of this mysterious plague as being hemorrhagic septicemia. Ye,

821
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: hemorrhagic septichemia, which was caused by a bacteria called Pasturella moltosita,

822
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: which usually this bacteria is found in these antelope, but

823
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 1: actually grows in their nose. The nose is nice cavernet,

824
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: it's like a little cave, so cores, pockets, got pockets

825
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: of things. This is a big pocket but yeah, and

826
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: so it's a nice, nice place for bacteria to grow.

827
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: And normally that's okay. However, as the weather that was

828
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: much warmer and more human than it usually was, uh,

829
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: these bacteria grew out of control and causes hemorrhagic septic kemia. Yeah,

830
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: septickemia um. And so now only about a hundred thousands

831
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: IgA remain in the wild. That's like the things that

832
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: we don't think about with like temperatures rise, like like

833
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: when people brush it off its lights like there. You

834
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: did not know that that was going to happen, and

835
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: things could predicted that you have an animal that has

836
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: a huge old nose and then the bacteria can grow

837
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: better than the nose when it's hotter and more human crazy, right,

838
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: it's like, and that's just the right exactly, it's yes,

839
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: And that's just one example of millions of things. Like

840
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: it's like you take out a Jenga piece and then

841
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: suddenly all these noses fall from the sky, but is

842
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: cavernous noses? Yeah, but I mean too. I don't want

843
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: to end on such a bummer. Note, there is some

844
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: good news, which is that there are these ecological protections

845
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: aimed at saving the saiga that are starting to gain tractions.

846
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 1: So China has banned saiga antelope horns from being covered

847
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: by health insurance, which is a pretty big thing because

848
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: I know that I think that the antelope horn has

849
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: been used in some traditional medicine, which unfortunately, you know,

850
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: then poachers will take the antelope horn and that's bad

851
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: for their population. The US and Mongolia have backed a

852
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: plan to ban the trade of siga antelope horns, and

853
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: their population is slowly starting to increase in Kazakhstan. So

854
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: I really hope we can pull it together because I

855
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: would be devastated if these guys were no longer around,

856
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: because they're they're just such God, they are such lovable goofballs,

857
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: and they're also kind of like inspiring in a way.

858
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: It's like use your imagination. You know, anything is possible.

859
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: Look at these guys. This exists. Like if they can

860
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: pull it off, we can pull anything. We can do, right,

861
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 1: we can save the planet. Yes, exactly, one puffing one,

862
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: one big old, big old proboscis at a time. Yeah,

863
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: there there. I don't know, there's something I think I

864
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: love that they basically look like a normal antelope and

865
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: then just with a big elephant seal nose stuck on

866
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: the front of it like an afterthought. It's wonderful. Um. Yeah,

867
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll definitely include links in the show

868
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: notes to pictures of these guys because they're they're incredible. Like, yeah,

869
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: maybe I should should you know what I mean? Like

870
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: that'd be great, right, or just like a nose attachment,

871
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, a ball of clava that's just like with

872
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: the with the nose, you know, like like like a

873
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: sort of crochet one and then it has that big nose.

874
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll maybe it'll work for me too, Yeah, se

875
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: pull that off. I think I could do it. I

876
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: think you could do it. Well, thank you so much

877
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: for joining me today. Got any before I would go?

878
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess, like any kind of like thoughts about Star

879
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: Wars man, I mean, well, yeah, from your opening, I

880
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: think that is the reason why people like it, you know,

881
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: the different biomes, the joke about like each planet being

882
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: a different type of planet of popt uh here's hilarious,

883
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: but also the human planet of your orb the water

884
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: planet with water, do you get it? This planet is grass.

885
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, that was not that important. This one's

886
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: a city, this one the desert. This one's a casino.

887
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: It goes on and on and not. This one is

888
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: a smart and saved so that I didn't see that

889
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: in the Mandalorian didn't see spartans planet. Oh my god.

890
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: If the Mandalorian and the Yoda went to like a

891
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: smart and final planet and they're like, I gotta feed around. Yeah,

892
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: like baby Yoda's like pulling things off the shelves. Now

893
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: you can't eat that. Now it crying. He's like, okay,

894
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: just one, but then too, that would be I would.

895
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: I would. And he's got like a baby Bjorn, He's

896
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: like carrying it around. Yeah, he's really all of a sudden,

897
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: he's like one of those he's like doing his assassinations

898
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: with the baby Bjorn and nothing. That's that's a Mandalorian

899
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: I would approve. Well, you got anything to plug? Yeah,
