1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to Creature feature, the show where we

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: look at the world through animal eyes, all aid of them.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm Katie Golden. I studied psychology and evolutionary biology, and

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: there's a rumor I'm a puppet being controlled by a

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: flock of birds. Untrue. Today on the show, we're talking superheroes.

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: Did you know there are animals out there with real

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: comic books, superpowers and people with superhuman abilities? Today we'll

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: be looking at the real life animal and human counterparts

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: to famous superheroes and maybe some super villains to discover

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: this and more as we answer the age old question

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: what's the best radioactive animal to be bitten by? So?

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Are there superheroes or supervillains secretly living among us? In November,

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: American diplomats in Cuba felt they were under attack by

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: some sort of supersonic weapon. They were plagued by a constant,

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: high pitched sound, followed by some sort of mysterious illness.

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: They were racked with headaches and nausea. Some of them

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: were even found to have symptoms of having had a concussion.

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: So what was this? Some covert attacked by Cuba? Maybe

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: it was a rogue superhero with supersonic yells like Banshee,

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the X Men, or Black Canary, or well, crickets really

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: freaking loud crickets. A recording of the mystery sound was

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: analyzed by a couple of biologists, and they found that

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: it matched with the Indies short tailed cricket. These crickets

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: produced loud, droning patterns to court females, So there's a

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: strong possibility these diplomats have been tormented by the cries

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: of crickets yelling comebook this thanks a lot horny crickets.

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: You almost started a war with Cuba. But is there

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: such a thing as a supersonic weapon? As we'll find out,

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: not only is there a real life version of Banshee,

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: but there are plenty of superhero animal analogs. With me

31
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: today is Sore and Booie, American dad writer, co host

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: of Quick Question with Soren and Daniel, and he used

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: to be my supervisor. Yeah that was your boss, Yeah,

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, those good old boy. Was I

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: a handful. You're always getting into scrapes being a real pro,

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: real stinker. Um, So if you could be bitten by

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: a radioactive animal of your choice and gain their powers,

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: what would it be I mean beaver, Okay, interesting, I

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: think beaver at any other point in my life, I

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: would have gone with something else, like snow lepperd is

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: a really enticing choice. Those are cute, They're so cool,

42
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: and everything about them is cool. It's like they live

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: in a different dimension, Like they're like they live on

44
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: a different plane than us. They're going completely on a

45
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: diagonal and or like vertical face. We don't ever see them.

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: I also do think they warp in and out of

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: the fourth dimension because it's so hard to find them.

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Impossible to find. We didn't even have footage of them

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: till the two thousand's right, Um, so that would be

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: a really cool choice. But as I've gotten older, I've realized, like,

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: if they have to be a better steward of this planet,

52
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: and beavers are cool lynchpin species, and I think that

53
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: I could. They can basically create entire habitats single handedly.

54
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: They Yeah, they're like responsible for terraforming the environment exactly.

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: They also have iron enforced teeth. That's why their teeth

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: are yellow. I mean, that's gonna be a bonus that

57
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I didn't realize what I was getting a bit I

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: get I guess it depends on where I'm bit too,

59
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: because I could do some serious damage, right right, well,

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but then then you would have the

61
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: teeth the beaver even so you know, and you could uh,

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, because that's how they chopped down wood

63
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: with their teeth. Um, you could be like that James

64
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Bond the metal bites McGoo. Yeah, I mean we're circling.

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I will find it. Mr Bites sounds closer warmer, um,

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, they if I had that power, I mean,

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I guess that the teeth would be a cool uh

68
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: icing on the cake. But I think that being able

69
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: to tear form environments would be a super helpful fun

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: thing to do and I don't have to fight bad

71
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: guys that way, which I think you get into a

72
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: situation where with a lot of other ones where you're

73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: forcing that situation, and as a beaver's um, that's a

74
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: very responsible choice. Um. I kind of would want to

75
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: be bitten by what's called a desert rain frog and

76
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: it's and don't worry, it's it's not too bad. But

77
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: they're like the super super cute animal version of like

78
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Banshi or the black Canary. For the non nerds out there, Uh.

79
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Those are like superheroes who use their super voice to

80
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: like blast enemies away. Um, And we have a couple

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: of animals like that, but this one is the cutest one.

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: They're super super adorable. They're like, uh, I'm gonna show

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you a picture, or they're like just a little they

84
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: look like a little pokemon. Yeah, they're like the frog

85
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: version of a pork. That's true. I didn't notice that before,

86
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: but you're totally right. So, um they live on the

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: coast of South Africa and Namibia. Jesus. Uh. They are

88
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: only a couple of inches big. They're basically like a

89
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: little balloon with legs. Uh. And um, they absorbed water

90
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: through their tummies. That's how they drink. Yeah, because they

91
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: like um yeah, a little Tommy straws. And they don't hop.

92
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: They waddle because they're and well, they have a battle

93
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: squeak and you're about to hear it. This is the

94
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: this is the squeak they make when they're very angry.

95
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: So he's super piste off. It looks like c G I. Yeah,

96
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't move like a normal animal. It's got

97
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: it looks like somebody's like all right, well, let's think

98
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: of something really cool for an alien, but like something

99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: kids would also buy. Yeah, it looks like a Jim

100
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: Henson puppet from like The Dark Crystal where it's just like,

101
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, a little furry one where it's

102
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: just like a furry ball. But this one's like a frog.

103
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm confused about its eyes. It's got

104
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: like sideways eyes or its eyes are always shut. Um No,

105
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: that's just uh, it's it's um did not like that question.

106
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: It's just that it's pupils are are sideways. Um. I

107
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know how that's helpful. I mean, you know, just

108
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: letterbox vision. But are they always cover? Is that sand?

109
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: That because they like to kind of bury themselves into

110
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: sand to absorb moisture through their skin. Um, So they

111
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: kind of like dig down in there and then they

112
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: soak up moisture through their tummies and then waddle around

113
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: and squeak real mad at things like that's their whole life.

114
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of pika? Yes, so pike is.

115
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: They're very territorial and they have a sound that's very

116
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: similar to that. Um. If you get like above timberline,

117
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you'll run into a bunch of them, and they're they're

118
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: in their rabbit family, I think, and they just adorable

119
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: little squeak. It's like it sounds I know that they're

120
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: doing it to be like hey, funk off, funk off,

121
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: but it sounds like they're It's like if something was

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: going to eat them and it heard that, it would

123
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: be like I gotta find something less adorable to eat,

124
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: and they just move on, which is also a great defense. Yeah,

125
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: they're I think they're also related to the hidracks, which

126
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: they also do. The super squeaky thing. It's really there.

127
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: It's so cute. So now onto something a little more horrifying,

128
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: just a little dose of cute before we get into

129
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: the nasty things. So that squeak is it's very cute.

130
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: It's I think it's the power of cuteness that would

131
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: compel predators not to eat it. I don't see that

132
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: being intimidating. It's like it's like, I can't eat you.

133
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: It's a baby cat that hasn't even a kitten, it

134
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: hasn't This battle squeak of there's is nothing compared to

135
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: the call of the water boatman, which is a small insect. Uh.

136
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: It's the loudest animal relative to its body size. Uh,

137
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and it has a singing penis. So what so the

138
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: water boatman, it's an insect. It's about the size of

139
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: a thumb tack. Um. They have limbs shaped like oars.

140
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: You may have seen one if you've ever been near

141
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: pond or like a fresh body of water. They're the

142
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: ones that have like those little oars and they kind

143
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: of like, um, row along the water. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yes,

144
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I forgot that. Um. And it's like,

145
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: but it in that movie, they would be singing with

146
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: their penises it, I know, like just like have um

147
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Will Smith play a water boatman with a singing penis

148
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: and he's blue. So uh. They feed on algae and

149
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: they're mostly peaceful. Um. So you know they're they're not

150
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: really too threatening, except that the male uh lesser water

151
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: boatman can sing mating calls that are at nine decibels,

152
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: which is about as loud as a jackhammer. Um. So

153
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: like they fortunately they sing underwater, so that's what spares

154
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: us from just like constant jackhammers coming from ponds. Um.

155
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: But even still like water can absorb like of the sound,

156
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: but even submerged, you can still hear them from outside.

157
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Uh so, the way that they make these noises is

158
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: not too different from a jackhammer. They rubbed their penises

159
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: against their ribbed abdomen, kind of like you know those

160
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: like bossa Nova instruments where you take a wooden run.

161
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: You're like, they're they're rubbing their penises on their six path. Yes,

162
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: that's so cool. Yes, uh well, it's like it's like

163
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: those you know what are the it's like the weirdos,

164
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: the thing where it's like I remember in school when

165
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: interesting instruments would get handed out, Yeah, and you nobody

166
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: wanted the weirro a weird percussion one that was like

167
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: all I can do is make the zipper noise, right right,

168
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: but you do do the heck out of it. Um So,

169
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: I have an audio clip of it singing, uh in

170
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: here we go. It sounds like a cricket. But I

171
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: just want you to keep in mind that's its penis

172
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: rubbing against it's washboard abs. Gives it a whole new dimension.

173
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: Is it doing that to attract me? Yes? Yes it,

174
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: um you know, it's it's comfunct us like like it's

175
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: always it's usually that like the singing of crickets. Yeah wow,

176
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: So okay, what a great like simplistic. The world is

177
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: so simple at that level, it's like, well, I need

178
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: to remind potential mates out there that I have a dick, Right,

179
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: why don't I have my dick? Make noise? It's like

180
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: if if guys would just like like guys who are

181
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: um you know DTF just like went around helicoptering their doing,

182
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: just slapping it from thigh that noise has a very

183
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: particular sound, that would be amazing. Animals are a lot

184
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: more forward than people. Um, did you watch Iron Fist?

185
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: The I didn't. I didn't either. Um, I don't understand

186
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: the superhero I it seems like he's got a real fist.

187
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: I don't either, So let's be let's guess. Let's guess

188
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: with this. Well, I think it's that he has magic

189
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: inside his fist that makes it real good at punching. Yeah,

190
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: I think the heat will Iron Fist suggesting that you're

191
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: probably right. I think that he it's not even like

192
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: a real superpower that he he learned it from a

193
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: Tai chee master or something like that, and it's it

194
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: makes his fist glow. And everyone knows that when something glows,

195
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: it's stronger. Yes, that's true. I think that that is true. Like,

196
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: is it both fists or one doesn't think he'd be

197
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: called Iron Fists if it was both. That's true. That

198
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: is absolutely true. So it's got to just be the

199
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: one fist. So like like if he's like, he's like,

200
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: come on, arm wrestle me. No, No, not that one,

201
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: not that one, the other one. Sure, man, I don't know,

202
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: but I'm a lefty. Oh you don't want to do

203
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: it anymore? Okay, well, so I think we can both

204
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: agree that Superhero kind of sucks, but the animal kingdom

205
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: is much better at this. Uh, there's a little guy

206
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: called the Boxer Crab way cooler than Iron Fist. They're

207
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: teeny tiny crabs um. They're about the size of a

208
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: large coin. They live in the Indo Pacific Ocean, and

209
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: they have a symbiotic relationship with enemies, um, which means

210
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: that they wear the enemies on their fists to use

211
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: for punching. Oh my god. They're also called pom Pom

212
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: crass because they look like cheerleaders. That's better. Oh man,

213
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna show me like a crowd that

214
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: had that giant, massive claw. But this is way cooler.

215
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: Than that. So this is one of it fighting off

216
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: a puffer fish with its little so see those are

217
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: its little uh attached to its fists. It really does

218
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: look like it's just wearing a little boxing gloves, little

219
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: boxing gloves. Um. And then it, uh, you know, here

220
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: comes a puffer fish and it's like these are teeny

221
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: tiny crabs. They're like the size of little like coin

222
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: coin side. Yeah, I'm getting down from the puffer fish. Yeah,

223
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: and then the puffer fish is just this giant thing

224
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: looming above it. Um. And then uh so, normally a

225
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: crab this size would not stand a good chance. Puffer

226
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: Fish actually have really strong beaks, so they can crack

227
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: right through that shell. But wait for it, Boof just

228
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: like punches him right in the sneers and he keeps

229
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: them up like a boxer. They wave them around like

230
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: like loves and guy like a boxer. Yeah, he like

231
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: raises one fist in the air like like it's just

232
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: so funny. It's so cute. That's adorable. And so those

233
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: things are those an enemies deadly poisonous or what's the deal?

234
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: They're well, they're not necessarily deadly. Um, they can be

235
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: too fish small enough, but so they have a stinging

236
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: toxin in them. Um, the enemies have stinging cells. If

237
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: you've ever touched one, you can like because like I

238
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: do that all the time when I'm on the when

239
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: the tide pools are out, you touch them like they

240
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of close around, because like that would be how

241
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: they would capture prey. But you can kind of It's

242
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: it's also to like protect them, but like you can

243
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: feel just a little you touch them, you feel just

244
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: a little like like, oh, it's like a little numbing

245
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: thing for the little tiny enemies. Uh yeah, the ones

246
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: that when you touch them they coil in. Yeah. Yeah, um,

247
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: but like for a fish, Um, that's gonna suck real bad.

248
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: And also I think I feel like if you touched

249
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: a big enemy, that would be a bad time for you. Yeah.

250
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I've always been curious about them because when you see

251
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: them all the time, you see in the title pools

252
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: or or if you ever been snorkeling or anything, they're everywhere.

253
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: I've I never know if they're good or bad for me.

254
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they're don't trust me add percent on this.

255
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they would really hurt you, but they

256
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: might not be pleasant, like to touch a real big one. Um.

257
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: But also don't go around and touching them because like

258
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: it's good, it's not good for what do They just

259
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: squirt some sunscreen on them, Yeah, just like some like

260
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: feed them some doritos, just like here you go, you

261
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: look hungry. Um. So they attach the boxer crabs attach

262
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: the nenemies to little hooks found on their close because

263
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: their claws are they're not like big meaty crab close.

264
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: They're like little They look like little tweezers. They just

265
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: like little dell get things. And they put on these

266
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: big boxing gloves. Uh. And then um, they can wave

267
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: them around and that's sort of like their coloration and

268
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: like the motion of them waving it and like can

269
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of intimidate predators. And if that doesn't do it,

270
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: they whoop them, give them a little punch and then

271
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: that those stinging cells can ward them off bhoop on

272
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: the nose. Well. So, but don't the crabs need those

273
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: pinchers to eat. No, they actually use the an enemies

274
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: to collect food particles. Uh. So they're they're two and ones.

275
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: And then what happens is they'll eat the food and

276
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: then like allow the n enemies to eat the remaining scraps,

277
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: and there's some studies that suggest they actually control the

278
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: amount of food that gets to the an enemies, so

279
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: they can keep them bon siye sized to fit on

280
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: their claws. They're also um one of the only known

281
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: animals to encourage asexual reproduction in another animal. Um So, like,

282
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: if the crab only has one an enemy, like a

283
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: shitty um iron fist character, he'll split it into and

284
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: then put the other half on the other fist and

285
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: then they eventually both grow back to full size. Um

286
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's because an enemies can like reproduce by splitting,

287
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: but it's actually being like it's it's helping it reproduce

288
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: for its own gain. But still that that's good for

289
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the an enemy in some sense. That's so cool. Does

290
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: the crab can't It's not like on a conscious level

291
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: doing this. Is this is instinct instinct? Yeah, that's still

292
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That is really cool. So one more animal

293
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: superhero before we move on. It's called the hairy frog

294
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: uh and it's the wolverine of the Animal Kingdom. Uh.

295
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: Frogs don't have hair, Katie. The amphibians damn it got me, um,

296
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: So they're called hairy frogs because they develop what looks

297
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: like hair, but it's really just dermal papilla, which is

298
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: bumps in the skin. Well, you'll, uh, let me show

299
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: you a Let me show you a picture of one

300
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: of these these guys. You can see the hair is

301
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: like weird. Um. They look like super weird kind of

302
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: wiry growth. Um, but it's it's not gross. These frogs

303
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: have what looks like really coarse side burns. Down there's

304
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: the size of their body, which is funny because they're

305
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: also known as wolverine frogs. We'll get into that, but

306
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: first of all, why they have that hair is it's

307
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: actually um. So it's skin that has arteries in it,

308
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: and it's thought that it helps increase the surface area

309
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: of the arteries to help store oxygen for when they're underwater.

310
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Um so like almost like external gills, but not really.

311
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: It's like to keep because I'll like get a big

312
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: gulp of oxygen and then there their red blood cells

313
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: and arteries store the oxygen in it so they can

314
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: stay underwater for longer. They're like the opposite of a camel. Yeah,

315
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: came store water in those they think it's mostly fat um.

316
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: So they're also known as wolverine frogs because they'll break

317
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: their own bones and push the bone shards through their

318
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: skin to use his claws in defensive combat. Yes, it's

319
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: like they have special like bone node that they can

320
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: like break off and then they just like use muscles

321
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: to push the shards through their their their hands and

322
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: feet and then like just like just like wolverine, like

323
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman does, they give themselves a little compound fractures

324
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: and then fight with those. Yes, it's so cool, very

325
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: metal um. And it's also been specular. These are not

326
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: they haven't been researched too thoroughly, but it's been speculated

327
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: that the damaged tissue can heal and regenerate because like

328
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: a lot of frogs can heal up and regenerate their

329
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: tissue um. But live specimens have not been studied in

330
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: a lab. They're in Central Africa. Okay, so I won't

331
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't get to go find one anytimes. I mean

332
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: you can go to you could go to Central Africa

333
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: and be like, bring me your frogs. Frog. I want

334
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: to fight it. I want to replace its skeleton with metal.

335
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean like originally because like Wolverine, like yeah,

336
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: he gets the metal skeleton. But first, like in the

337
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: first iteration, he just shoves bones out of his skin. Yeah,

338
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: he has what are I mean, even more rudimentary cat claw.

339
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: It's like it's actual bone that comes out of his

340
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: bones somehow. Finger. It's always confused me because it appears

341
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: that the bones come from between his knuckles. Oh, so

342
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: it's in his wrist. They live inside his wrist and

343
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: then they shoot up through his wrist out between his knuckles.

344
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: But okay, because but you have no support behind something

345
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: like that, like you if you had a retractable thing

346
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: like that. Once it's out, there's no bone structure behind it. Yeah,

347
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't really understand because like we don't.

348
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: There aren't a bunch of bones in your wrist. It's

349
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: just the two ones. And they're actually kind of cool

350
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: because you have these, uh, these two arm bones that

351
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of like wrap around each other and like when

352
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: you're moving your arm, they kind of rotate and it's

353
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: it's neat. But you can't I don't m Maybe he's

354
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: got he's got like chimp wrists, like those wrists that

355
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: can't bend shoots out. It sits at the end of

356
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: the bone on the so like structually at the very end,

357
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: it would be very strong. But sitting on top of it,

358
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: it's useless, right because like if you if you were

359
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: wolver and you like rotated your risk, when don't you

360
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: just like slice off all your fingers? Yeah, I mean yeah,

361
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: if they're coming from because like if they were, I

362
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: would buy it if it was like your knucklebones could

363
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: like grow really long, because then that makes sense. Then

364
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: you've just got like, you know, iron knuckles, but by

365
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: super bony knuckles. Oh man, Yeah, And I did never

366
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: really consider that that he I mean, I know he

367
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: makes fists when he's got those claws out, but that's

368
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: got to be from a life of getting it wrong.

369
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: He's not doing that and his hands are open, Like

370
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: imagine running with those claws and then tripping and falling.

371
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: You your instinct, would you just bet your put your

372
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: hands out and you just cut off your fingers. I mean,

373
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: he can grow them though, that's because he's probably I

374
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: mean you imagine he's probably done a lot of things,

375
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: like he's flossing and he's startled, and you just like

376
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: slices his like nose off or something. Uh man, what

377
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: if when he has to be startled and he startled. Yeah,

378
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: what if when he's wiping I think that I would.

379
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm going to be Wolverine and in

380
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: that fight, I as soon as i get my claws out,

381
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: the first thing I'm doing is cutting off my fingers

382
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: because I'm like, get this out of the way. I

383
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: don't even have to think about it from his fight.

384
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: These are gone for the fight, these claws, right, Yeah,

385
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: And then you have and then you can be real

386
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: intimidating because it's like it's like, you know, let me

387
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: give you a pointer, and you start throwing fingers at

388
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: you the guy, and they're like, oh, that's disgusting. I'd

389
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: like to I'd like to get in the ring with you.

390
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: Is that is that his ring? Fingers? Let me file

391
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: this index under you're defeated finger joke. It would just

392
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: delicately place the thumb on his head. You're under my thumb,

393
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: philandic olad, you're not fighting me. Have you ever wondered

394
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: how Wonder Woman was well born? The Amazonians are an

395
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: island of only women, so do they reproduce? Does life?

396
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Uh find a way? Well? In the comic books, it's

397
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: unclear how Wonder woman's race of warrior women were created.

398
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: They may have been created by gods, or in a

399
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: more contentious storyline, they found some sailors, got pregnant and

400
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: then killed all the sailors. But there's a real life

401
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: instance of Amazonians, although they're a lot more scaly than

402
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: gal gadot. The desert grassland whiptailed lizard is an all

403
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: female species of lizard. They're about five inches long and

404
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: have a yellow racing streak down their sides. They're not

405
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: really Amazonians, they're Arizonans. Their habitat is in southern and

406
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: central Arizona and near the Rio Grand in New Mexico.

407
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: And yes, they're all female. They reproduced video parthenogenesis, a

408
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: sexual reproduction where an emperor creo grows without fertilization. Surprisingly,

409
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: whiptails offspring are not clones, and they're capable of more

410
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: genetic diversity than you normally get with a sexual reproduction.

411
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: The original whippedtail lizard was a hybrid of two species

412
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: of lizard and somehow got three sets of DNA rather

413
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: than the usual set of two and most sexual species. Then,

414
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: in the process of parthenogenesis, the lizards recombine these sets

415
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: of DNA into new genetically distinct offspring. Also, have you

416
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: ever wondered if Amazonians get it on with each other,

417
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: well whiptails do, They'll still engage in courtship behaviors and

418
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: pseudocopulation that actually helps stimulate their ovulation. Jeezus, better not

419
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: give any ideas to horny comic book nerds will be

420
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: right back with more superheroes after a few brief messages.

421
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: In the comic books, mutant powers always seem pretty cool.

422
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: In real life, the issue is much more complex. There

423
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: are in fact human genetic mutants who have incredibly cool powers,

424
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: but that can also come at a price. Consider the

425
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: condition known as sclerostiosis, a rare genetic condition that causes

426
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: bone overgrowth. The result is an extra strong skeleton, one

427
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: that could fare far better and say a car accident

428
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: or fall. However, the condition also causes impacts on quality life,

429
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: such as facial paralysis and fingers being pieceed together. But

430
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: most importantly, it can be fatal when skull overgrowth causes

431
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: intracranial pressure, which in some cases can cause sudden death

432
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: and patience. But a silver lining, there's a heroic patient

433
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: who has this condition who is using his powers for

434
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: good doctor Tim Dryer is a researcher working to find

435
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: a treatment for his rare condition. It turns out the

436
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: real superpower was the human mind all along. But also,

437
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: as we'll discuss, there are also powers like the ability

438
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: to eat sharp objects or not having to sleep in

439
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff. Uh so sore, and what's

440
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: your superpowered? Like your real one? I can cut onions

441
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: without crying. Really, that's a good one. I don't know

442
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: that it's super useful in like a bank robbery situation,

443
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: but at home, well, if you disable everyone else with onions,

444
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: but you're fine. I mean like like you you go

445
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: to a bank and you pull out a knife. Everyone

446
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: screams and you start cutting onions and like I can't see,

447
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm blinded by tears. It's like, can you describe the suspect? No,

448
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: my eyes were full of onion tears. Yeah, maybe be

449
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: more suited to be a villain that way. That's a

450
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: good one though, I mean, like, oh, yeah, I just

451
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: assumed you're like, help out a bank robbery. I just

452
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: assumed you meant help rob That's where my mind is

453
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: that um garlic gets me too, actually, yeah, like onion garlic,

454
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: anything like it's Yeah, it's something that's I've just never died.

455
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean, so I didn't erupt you go. Um, that's

456
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: a good one. That's a good one. I I really

457
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: thought about this. I tried to think of what my

458
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: superpower is, Um, if I want to be um sort

459
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: of h I guess like empowerment about it. It would

460
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: be O c D because of like like, well, I'm

461
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: very observant, but not really, it's not it's it's kind

462
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: of it's more of an albatross. I think we did

463
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: an article back in the day and Uncracked about like

464
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: how why it was beneficial evolutionarily to have autism occasionally

465
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: in some situations like why it's people. I mean, it

466
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: gets so it gets demonized as like this, uh, like

467
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with somebody, but it's actually there's all

468
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: kinds of benefits to it in some ways, like they

469
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: see the world in ways that other people don't know.

470
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that. There's a really cool

471
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: example that I think everyone should know. Um and yeah,

472
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: so I'm really excited to talk about that. Um. So, Uh,

473
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of people who have really surprising superpowers. Uh,

474
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: here's one of them. His name is Aero Mantieranta probably

475
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: didn't spell that right, and he's Swedish or something. I'm sorry, Sweden.

476
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how to do it.

477
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: He probably won't even be Swedish. It's probably like another

478
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: country in the Netherlands that are like, oh, I'm sorry,

479
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: he's not Swedish. I'll say I have my name is

480
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Scandinavian and you nailed it. But you've been my I've

481
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: not used. He was finished. I'm sorry, I'm apologized to

482
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: everyone in Sweden. And no, I mean you're giving the

483
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: credit to the swedishog the finish sorry finish UM. I

484
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: guess they finished last. So he was a four time

485
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: Olympian and multiple medalist in cross country skiing UM and

486
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: he was accused of blood doping. However, uh well, because

487
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: like his performance was really incredible and they also found

488
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: like they tested his blood and found like high red

489
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: blood cell counts there like your blood doping, which is UM,

490
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: that's when you pump in extra blood, like I think

491
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: you save your own blood and then pump it in

492
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: later so you have a higher red blood cell count

493
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: which like we discussed with the Hairy frog, like the

494
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: more red blood cells you have and the more stuff

495
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: like you can, you know, keep oxygenated, and it improves

496
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: your performance. I think you can also take the blood

497
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: of when they're like toward France and stuff, when they're

498
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: doing high altitude biking. You take it the blood of

499
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: somebody who's lived at that altitude their their life, and

500
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: it just oxygen blood of a virgin who has lived

501
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: at that altitude. Yes, um, and you drink it right,

502
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: that's what you have to lap it up. It's important,

503
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: like a kitty um uh so. Uh So they're like, hey,

504
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: you're doping. He was like, no, I'm not, and he wasn't.

505
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: He actually had what's called primary familial and congenital police simia. Anyways,

506
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's a genetic condition that causes an increase

507
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: in red blood cell counts and hemoglobin um. So he

508
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: was just genetically better at cross country skiing um and there,

509
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, I'm not doping. Um So

510
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: he was vindicated until nineteen seventy two when it turned

511
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: out he was also doping the horbone. So the first

512
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: time he wasn't lying like he was not blood doping.

513
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: He was like clean and he's like, no, no no, I

514
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: just have a genetic condition. And then in nineteen seventy

515
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: two he's like, I'm doing hormones. I lost the stuff.

516
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: I had to find some way to get it back. Uh.

517
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it makes sense if there's going to

518
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: be people who have You're you're constantly dealing with deformations

519
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: in the in like the genome er like, and so

520
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: some of them are going to be bad. A lot

521
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: of them are going to bad and not advantageous. Most

522
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: likely they're going to be bad, but sometimes they're probably good,

523
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: but not necessarily good enough that they're going to continue

524
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: on with the species after that point, but like pretty good,

525
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: probably good. Yeah, I mean being able to cross country ski.

526
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: Several people enjoy that teens. Um. So here's another superhuman.

527
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: His name is Michelle lo Tito. He's a French entertainer

528
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: who would eat anything, and I mean anything, bicycle parts,

529
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: shopping carts, televisions, chandeliers, computer and skis, which must have

530
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: really piste off our pious um. And he it was

531
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: like partially like you know, there's like some strategy to it,

532
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: like he would he wouldn't just shove a whole bicycle

533
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: in his face but he would like take it apart

534
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: and like like choose smaller parts of it. Um, but

535
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: very methodically such that he could have like two pounds

536
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: of metal and glass and whatever a day. Uh and

537
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: uh So doctors are like, that doesn't sound correct. So

538
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: they checked him out, and they found that he had

539
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: abnormally thick lining in his stomach and his intestines that

540
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: allowed him to eat sharp metal without injuring his insights. Uh.

541
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: And he reportedly had no problem passing the stuff, which

542
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: he's telling us he doesn't have bloody poop. What about

543
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: his esophagus? That was okay, I mean the us yes, yes, um,

544
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I think he was fine with

545
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: that too. I think he had a method of also

546
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: of like and he used some mineral oil to help

547
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: loupe things up. Um. He also had a he had

548
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: more powerful digestive juices than average, which meant he could

549
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: break down unusual materials. And it also meant if he

550
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: tried eating something soft like a banana, he would get

551
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: a heartburn because it's like he's like got like some

552
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: real powerful acids in there. It's like a banana that's

553
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: not enough. I need a car tire man that it's

554
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: the stomach turns into the perfect storm because it's so

555
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: upset by not having something, not having bolts and screws

556
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: in there. I wish someone told him he could just

557
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: eat kale, though, because like, you don't need to eat

558
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: a bicycle. Put some KALs basically the bark of a tree. Yeah,

559
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I know. Have you ever tried and chewing on it? Yeah,

560
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: it's the only food where you actually have to break

561
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: it down before you eat, Like you need to put

562
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: some juice in it to break down. I mean, like

563
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: with just rock Hill, like I would wear that as

564
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: a parachute. I trust that material very good as a parachute.

565
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: Not in my mouth though, That's that's so, I mean,

566
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: was there surely there was someone in his life who

567
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: was like, listen, you have a lot going on. You

568
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: don't have to do this. You have to do this

569
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: for everybody. He actually, I think he reportedly also had pika,

570
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: the condition where you eat stuff that is not normal

571
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: eaches and things like yeah yeah, or like nail polished

572
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: once I saw, which is kind of crazy because I'm like,

573
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: because there's that horrible show, very exploitative, but I still

574
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: sometimes look at it the the like my strange addiction

575
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: thing where it's like it's like I eat diapers, and

576
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: it's just I feel very bad about that show because

577
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: that seems like exploiting people. Um, but it's also just like, wow,

578
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: you can survive eating diapers, Like you can live through that.

579
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: That's kind of you know, wow, Yeah, it's it is

580
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: a shock. We're so used to only consuming things that

581
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: are intentionally supposed to be consumed that it is really

582
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: surprising when you find out somebody ate like no, right,

583
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: Like I get worried when I accidentally eat like a

584
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: sunflower hole, like a sunflower seed shell. I'm like, oh,

585
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: that's not going to be good down there. But I mean, like,

586
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: it would be really nice to see this guy who

587
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: had decide he's going to be a superhero, has already

588
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: got the costume and everything, and then just him in

589
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: the costume, sitting on the edge of his bed being like, Okay,

590
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: how am I going to fight crime with this? I'll

591
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: eat their getaway vehicle, and like they're coming back to

592
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: the currents, like hold on, I'm still working through the room.

593
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: So let's let's move from the more visceral superpowers and

594
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: into the realm of the mind. Nerd um. So. There's

595
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: a condition called hyperthymesia, where people have an almost supernatural

596
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: autobiographical memory. They can remember in excruciating detail and abnormal

597
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: amount about their lives. So like if I ask you,

598
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: what did you do five weeks ago at five o'clock

599
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: on Monday, I know it would take me a very

600
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: long time. I'd have to track. I have to like

601
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: work out from a mic macro sense right and get

602
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: down to like, okay, well it probably was this right, right.

603
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: But people with this uh, this like super autobiographical memory

604
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: can can do that like, oh yeah, I was, I

605
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: was wearing like my yellow card again and I was

606
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: like chilling at you know, uh, Hansen's board Shop or

607
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: whatever people do. I don't know what activities people enjoy.

608
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: Very popular among them this condition. They go to Hanson's

609
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: board Shop. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a surfboarding

610
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: shop here in uh in California. I don't know why

611
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: I brought it up, because I don't I certainly don't serve.

612
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: And so one such person with this condition, Rebecca Sherrik,

613
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: explains that it's not always beneficial. Here's a quote from her.

614
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: She says, if I'm remembering an incident that happened when

615
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: I was three. My emotional response to the situation is

616
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: like a three year old, even though my mind and

617
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: conscience are like an adult. So that's crazy to me.

618
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: Where like because you remember stuff sometimes and you're kind

619
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: of like, oh, yeah, I was like three and I

620
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: was really upset because I didn't want to eat banana.

621
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: But then I ate it and I hated it or something,

622
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: and then you feel kind of like you understand what

623
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: you felt at the time, but then to like refeel

624
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: that three year old feeling because like emotions were so

625
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: raw you're a little kid. That would be really tough

626
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: also for like childbirth and things like, oh god, your

627
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: brain is so good at tricking you into forgetting that

628
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: type of stuff in general, right, yes, yes, emotional and

629
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: physical pain like we kind of we lit the sounds

630
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: of time kind of erode that a little bit, take

631
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: the edge off. But yeah, She said that it can

632
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: be really distressing, like to remember things she remembers moments

633
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: of embarrassment or um social situations that didn't go well,

634
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: and she like re feels those emotions and that you

635
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: ascribed a childhood trauma of your own. To her, the

636
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: bananas thing I forgot. I had probably already told you

637
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: that story because like, uh, when when we worked, when

638
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: you were my supervisor, I was being bullied with bananas,

639
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, it was really a problem, honestly, banana

640
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: bully And so I was being harassed with bananas. People

641
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: would leave them on my desk and I didn't appreciate

642
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: that because I don't like bananas to almost a phobic point.

643
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: Um not quite not, not like I think once you're

644
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: like are you are you actually upset about them? Like

645
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: it's fine, but um but yeah, when I was a kid, well,

646
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: like I said, I was traumatized because I ate a banana. Really,

647
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: all I remember is I ate it and I started

648
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: crying and banana got like up my nose and like

649
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: snot and tears and banana and that just all it

650
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: became associated with sadness, you know. No, I mean I

651
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: completely get it. People do with sicknesses all the time.

652
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: I got food poisoning once when I was a child,

653
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: and it was not related to skittles, but I had

654
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: happened to be eating skills last and off the table

655
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: for me, and that's that goes the same for me,

656
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: except seaweed salad, like I got, I got food poisoning,

657
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: and now I can't anymore. Um, But yeah, that's well,

658
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: that's really interesting because that makes sense. So like we

659
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: when we have something like food poisoning or something bad happen,

660
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: we have this very crystal clear memory of it. We

661
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: create this very strong association to the point where it's like, oh,

662
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: I got sick eating skittles. Now if you smell or

663
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: look at or taste a skittle, that feeling of sickness

664
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: comes back to you. Um. But then imagine that. But

665
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: just like for everything, like mundane things, so like their

666
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: memories are the people with the hyperthymesia they can just

667
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: like that. It doesn't have to be a important event

668
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: for them to remember to remember the sort of visceral thing.

669
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: So it's like something so researchers have looked at it.

670
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: They found that the temporal lobe is larger in people

671
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: with the condition um, as is the CAD a nucleus,

672
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: which also happens to be associated with O c D,

673
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: which is interesting to me. Um, I don't know. I mean, well,

674
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: I have O c D, but I don't have the

675
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: hyper because like I can't remember five seconds ago let alone. Like, uh, now,

676
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: my my memory is very averag ridge. Um, but I

677
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: would imagine how awful you'd be if you didn't have it.

678
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: Maybe this just even due out, I know, I know,

679
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: but like that is true because I'm sort of apsent

680
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: minded sometimes. But I think the O c D kind

681
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: of like kind of even because like one of the

682
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: things I'm like, I'm like, oh, I'm always checking the

683
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: stove to make sure it's turned off, and like and

684
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: one time I was checking it, it was like, you know,

685
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: a uh evenment was slowly burning. It was like thanks

686
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: so c D. That oh that kind of positive reinforcement

687
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: is super dangerous. So I had a roommate who left

688
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: the gas on and so that was just confirmation to

689
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: me that I need to uh check everything at all times. Up. Yeah,

690
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: but but I'm not dead yet, so that's good. Um

691
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: uh So there's a this is kind of a related thing.

692
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,959
Speaker 1: Have you heard of human calculators. These are the people

693
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: that go on like David Letterman. David Letterman will be like,

694
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: hey do this multiplication. They're like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, David.

695
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: It was just like interesting, yeah that stuff. We have

696
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: a guy who can catch popcorn as throwing at thirty

697
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: ft in the air. Do you remember like sort of

698
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: the last days of David Letterman where he just like

699
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: seemed kind of checked out. It was a yeah, he's

700
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: like he's already. You could tell he was like wanting

701
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: to work on that beard already. It was just like

702
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you your ski and squirrel? Great?

703
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: That's awesome, Cool, it's so done. Um. So there's this

704
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: guy Scott Flansburgh who can do huge calculations in his

705
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: head in record breaking speeds at calculator accuracy. Uh. In fact,

706
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: he can sometimes work faster than someone with a calculator.

707
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: And he's just like, oh, so they it takes the

708
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: amount of time it takes for them to punch in

709
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: the numbers is slower than slower than he can do

710
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: in his head. Yeah, nerd, that's like magic to me.

711
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm terrible at math and even like basic subtraction.

712
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm playing darts or something like that. It's embarrassing. Yeah,

713
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: so that's pretty incredible. Well I was. I mean I

714
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: was always a pretty good mouth student. That didn't mean

715
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: I could do simple addition or subtraction. Like it's they're

716
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of separate skills, um, like being able to understand

717
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: the concept of proofs and math and stuff is kind

718
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: of it's it's different. Well, it's just learning a different language,

719
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: knowing how the language works, like what's what goes next

720
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: to each other and operations and things like that. But

721
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: like if you're like, what's five minus three, I'm like

722
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: why to Um here's another cool one. Researchers found a

723
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: genetic mutation that allows people to survive on very little sleep. Um.

724
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: So they have a few case studies where people will

725
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: go to bed at like ten thirty and wake up

726
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: at four am and feel super well arrested. H And

727
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: they found that there's like a specific genetic mutation they

728
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: believe is responsible for this. I honestly think that my

729
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: wife's dad has this really interesting He can't get up.

730
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: He gets up at four thirty every single morning when

731
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: he can't sleep past that, he has to get up.

732
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: There what time does he get to bed, Like you

733
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: can go to bed, he goes like when we do,

734
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: so it's like ten, ten or thirty. Yeah, and he's

735
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: like totally well rested every single day. Yeah, it doesn't

736
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: snap in the middle of the day, just as somebody

737
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: who needs less sleep and is um has no concept

738
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: of the fact that other people do. It's making making

739
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: smoothies at four o'clock in the morning. Yeah, well, he's

740
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: a whistler, but like intentional whistling or like a whistler.

741
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, he's he's an intentional whistler. But I

742
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's conscious of it. In fact, he whistles

743
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: the same song a lot, and it frequently sounds like

744
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: the first few notes of Legend of Zelda. He goes,

745
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: he goes, just like and I always want to go.

746
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: But he's he gets up so early, and I think

747
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: that it took him a long time to be convinced

748
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: that other people weren't just lazy like it was him. Yeah,

749
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: but he's got this. I think. I think I have

750
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: the opposite, because I could if you allowed me to

751
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: just sleep, I would sleep like indefinitely, Like I could

752
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: sleep quite a long time, and I get to bed early.

753
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know, not, I'm not like you know, And

754
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: I could be in the best of moods and like

755
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: be like I'm really excited for tomorrow and then like

756
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: like you try to get me up at a normal

757
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: time like eight o'clock and I'm just like I could

758
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: sleep just for five more hours, yes, um, And I

759
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: could nap pretty much at any time, and it doesn't

760
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: it seems independent of when I get to bed. So

761
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll get to bed really early to try to be

762
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: able to wake up earlier. And it's still just like

763
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: I would love I would love five more hours of sleep.

764
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: I am exactly the same way. Yeah, I can. I

765
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: need a lot of sleep. My ideal amount of sleep

766
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: each night is ten hours. I can't get that obviously

767
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 1: with a child job. But it's it's like it's almost

768
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: painful when I have to get up before then it's

769
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: it can't eat anything because like my stomach doesn't feel

770
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: good that earlier. And someone who can just snap anywhere

771
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: as long as I'm allowed to lie down, I can

772
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: nap anywhere. When we used to shoot sketches and stuff

773
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: like that, I would just find somewhere quiet on the

774
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: floor and lie down with my arms crossed over me

775
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: like a fucking vampire sleep there and his eyes were

776
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: still open. I know. I used to be on those

777
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: those shoots, like the overnight ones. Just like your eyes

778
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: are open and then when you wake up, you just

779
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: kind of lift your upper corso, um, so one more

780
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: super human. His name is his name is Whim, but

781
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: I think it's William untrustworthy. Former Katie was Katie of

782
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: the past, was not me. I don't know that Wim

783
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: is if now I'll feel really bad if that's his

784
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: real name, and I'm just like so incredulous William potentially

785
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: the iceman off can withstand cold to world breaking to

786
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: grees get it degrees. Anyways. He attributes it to his

787
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: breathing techniques and meditation. But he has a twin brother.

788
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 1: So scientists were like, hey, let's test you guys, because

789
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: like the Iceman was like, oh, because I live in

790
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: high altitudes and I do all this stuff. And they

791
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: actually found that they can both do it pretty well. Um,

792
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: when they do the breathing techniques. Like the breathing techniques

793
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: definitely help. It's like some kind of like sort of

794
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: fast breathing followed by it's like some weird, weird thing. Um.

795
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: But like they found that they both have a lot

796
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: of the brown fat, which is a type of adipose

797
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: tissue that is like full blood vessels and stuff, and

798
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: it helps you regulate heat. Um. And so they had

799
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: more of this than the norms, so that it's like

800
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 1: almost like an extra layer of like protective. I don't

801
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: want to say blubber, because that's not that's a different thing,

802
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: but human blubbers. The purpose what what are they? What

803
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: are this he doing with this? Well, he's like sitting

804
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: in a bunch of ice and being like, hey, guys,

805
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: look at this. He's not like trapes in to the

806
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: Arctic and no, I think he's doing that too, But

807
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: I think it's like he's done. It's like definitely there's

808
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: an entertainment aspect, like he's done some Guinness Book of

809
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: World Records things where he like sits in a vadadvice

810
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: and he's like check this out. Okay. I think he

811
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: teaches a class of how to be better at cold.

812
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: That's not fair, but he but like it's also because

813
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: like he's genetically better. That's like Harry Potter teaching close

814
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: up magic right right right, right right right, like here

815
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: here be good at first of all, have this genetic

816
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: mutation and then also breathe real weird now sitting nice,

817
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: and then like there's his students are just like I'm

818
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: still really cold. That's a I mean, that's certainly feels

819
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: like a tangible superpower that you could use that could

820
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: be beneficial, but with global warming. Man, this I love

821
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: this podcast, your narrative like this, The little the right

822
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,479
Speaker 1: write ups that you do are full of puns. Oh yeah,

823
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: that's I wrote that ahead of time for sure. Can

824
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: human superpowers ever be used for the good of animals? Well,

825
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: just ask Temple Grandon. Temple Grandon is a professor of

826
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: animal science at Colorado State University. Brandon has a brilliant

827
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: mind and one that's non neurotypical. She's on the autism spectrum,

828
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: and her writings on the subject have proven vital in

829
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: destigmatizing autism. In her book Thinking in Pictures, she describes

830
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: how she speculates that her thought process is different from

831
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: those not on the autism spectrum. She's able to think

832
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: in complex visuals such as building construction designs in her mind,

833
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: but in order to mesh with her neurotypical counterparts, she's

834
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: been able to learn and understand not only her own mind,

835
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: but the minds of others. She almost works as a translator,

836
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: being able to relate her experience being on the spectrum

837
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: to those who don't know what it's like to have

838
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: a non neurotypical brain. Her incredible powers of observation and

839
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: analytical empathy allow her not only to get inside her

840
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: own mind and the mind of other people, but into

841
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: the mind of animals. She discovered this while working as

842
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,479
Speaker 1: a ranch hand, where she was able to consider life

843
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: from the perspective of the livestock, identifying stressors that were

844
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: frightening the animals that our coworkers couldn't see, such as

845
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: reflections from bodies of water or hanging chains that made noise.

846
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: Her ability to empathize with animals has helped create more

847
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: humane innovations in the livestock industry. Well that was a

848
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: non inspiring story, but hey, when I get a little evil, Well,

849
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: after a few quick messages kind of joining on the

850
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: dark side of the pod. Well, we've talked about goody

851
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: goody superheroes. What about an anti hero? Not not an

852
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: ant here Oh sorry, Paul Rudd. I'm talking about the

853
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: naughty ones like Deadpool, the trash talking mutant with an

854
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: advanced healing power that allows him to regrow his tissue

855
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: and he'll from what should be mortal wounds. Are there

856
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: any real life Deadpools? Well, sure, there are reptiles that

857
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: can regenerate their tails. But what about mammals, Well, there's

858
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: this freaky little rodent called the African spiny mouse. Spiny

859
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: mice are one of the only mammals that can completely

860
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: regenerate damaged tissue. They're also prone to looking extremely disfigured,

861
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: like deadpool. Their skin is actually extremely brittle and easily

862
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: torn off their bodies. This is actually a survival technique,

863
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: better to escape the jaws of a predator, even if

864
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: it means leaving up to six of your skin behind.

865
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: And yes, that's a real percentage. They can shed that

866
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: much skin, and they don't just scar over and heal.

867
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: They regrow hair, follicle, skin, sweat glands, fur, and cartilage.

868
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: In fact, they appear much better at healing their skin

869
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: than dead fool so sor in curse of I want

870
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: to add to the spiny mice thing. But they're in

871
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: the pet trade a lot, which is weird because one

872
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: of the problems with owning a spiny mouse, aside from like,

873
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: you probably shouldn't own exotic animals it's bad, but like,

874
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: their skin is designed to tear off, so like, if

875
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: you handle them incorrectly, you risk a quote degloving injury. Yes,

876
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: accidents before h um, yeah, don't don't wear rings when

877
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: you're not climbing people, Oh my god. But like, yeah,

878
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: but the mice, their skills just they're very fragile in

879
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: a way because if you, like with normal mice, you

880
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: can pick them up by the scrap of their necks

881
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: and like, you know, pet them, pet the mousey. But

882
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: like if you try to, like Lenny ask pet one

883
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: of these mice, the skin will just slough off if

884
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: it tries to dart from your hands and your your

885
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: instinct is to hold tighter. Yes, squirts right out of

886
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 1: its own skin, just like a banana out of a feel.

887
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: Are they cute, Yes, they're cute. Not when they're sleeved

888
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: sleeve de sleeved. Yes, they look what you would expect

889
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: them to look when they're missing their skin. They look

890
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: like a mouse that doesn't have skin. And and is

891
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: there do we know? Do we know? Is that really

892
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: super painful for them? You know, that's a good question.

893
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: I here's my take on it. My guess doesn't feel good.

894
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've actually studied whether they have

895
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: pain receptors. I would guess it doesn't feel great. I

896
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: don't think it does feel good. People don't don't just

897
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: get another mouse. Yeah, there's so many mince why would

898
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: you want the ones that skin falls off. It's kind

899
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: of like how we have these crazy dog breeds now

900
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: where if they like, if they like breathe wrong, their

901
00:53:54,200 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: eyeballs fall out every single pug. So, uh, do these

902
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: they also have to then shed their skin regularly? Okay,

903
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: they can just keep the skin as long as they

904
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: need it. And yeah, it's like it's like a lizard tail,

905
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: where like the lizard tail will remain attached to the

906
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: body unless unless you know, need it needs to rip

907
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: and tear it. Yeah. Yeah, man, that's a pretty cool defense.

908
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: It's it's also I mean it is probably related to lizards.

909
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: Like they speculate that it's not they that they developed

910
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: this as a new adaptation, but rather that there was

911
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: sort of an atavistic throwback to like their reptile genes

912
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: that like got reactivated somehow. Interesting, which is kind of

913
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: cool because it means that because we have reptile d day. Yeah,

914
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: we basically go through the huge, the whole gamut of

915
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: evolution when we're embryos. It's all those close. Yeah, we

916
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: get we get tails. And gill slets which becomes like

917
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: the ear it's really creepy. So sare if you were

918
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: a super villain, what would your power be? Um, I

919
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: mean obviously control time. Okay, that feels like the most

920
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: useful in any any situation. It does. It does feel good. Yeah,

921
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean like, well, so how would you use it

922
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 1: controlling time? Uh? Well, if I'm a villain then uh,

923
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: first of all, acquiring money is no problem if you

924
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: can control time because you you can basically study you

925
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: that Zach More's time out type of thing where no

926
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: one's a cognizant of the fact that time has been

927
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: paused and you can take whatever you want. Um. But

928
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: then also getting away is very easy. Um. And if

929
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: you're controlling time, you can also if things go wrong

930
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: for you, you just rewind it and you do it again,

931
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: and you do again and again again until you get

932
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: it right. And um it's like those those Aliens and

933
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: Edge of Tomorrow that's a movie I've seen. Um yeah,

934
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: or like the Groundhog Day thing where you can like

935
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: go on a date with some and be creepily like

936
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: no everything they like, but like you could I mean imagine,

937
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: because you could you could go beyond. You could like

938
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: dominate the world in just a few days with that

939
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: power because you could go through the chain of command

940
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: and talk to every person, redo that social interaction again

941
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: and again until you know exactly what to say to

942
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: get them on your side, until you reach the president.

943
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: There's it's like the possibilities are absolutely limitless, and you

944
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: can control time. But I'm I'm being I mean, no,

945
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: there's no superhero who just has the power of the

946
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: control chime. And that's just sort of like what they do.

947
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: It's always like one specific way that they can control it.

948
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: They can slow down or they can pause it. They

949
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: can't go back and forth in it. But I'm saying

950
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: I want all of it. Well why not? I mean,

951
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: if you get to pick I didn't say what reasonable

952
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: power would you have? Reasonable? And I guess I want

953
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: to have that blubber and I can sit in tubs

954
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, what is yours? That's a good question.

955
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't really think about it, actually, so uh,

956
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: I feel like it would be fun to turn people

957
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: into humiliating objects just because like like you're like talk

958
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: you suddenly like anyone who pisces you off. You could

959
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: just like turn into a cucumber, and people would just

960
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: be so shocked. I think by that where it's like

961
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: you can turn them back and forth into like a

962
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: cucumber or something. It's like then you turn them back

963
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: to a human, They're like, I've been humbled. Yeah I

964
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: was a cucumber for a few seconds. You destroy it,

965
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: and you destroy the morale of any of it. I

966
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: imagine you can turn like there's an army of like

967
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, people trying to fight you, all of them

968
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: cucumbers just like fall to the ground, and then you're like,

969
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: see what I can have wrots all of your cucumbers. Now.

970
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: I think that you could also do, I mean, turn

971
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: them into dogs for a second, and then the existential

972
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: crisis of coming back to being a human right for

973
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: experiencing what it was to be a dog. It's like,

974
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: how do you fight after that? To think about? Right? Yeah? Yeah,

975
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: like uh, but they have they have dog mines at

976
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: that time, so they're easily manipulated with like bacon strips. Um.

977
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: So we're gonna there's some animal supervillains that I really love. Um. So,

978
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know those Marvel movies like Endless Wars

979
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think that's it. Um, the big,

980
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: the big, the big, great war that doesn't have an end.

981
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: That it's a bit I do on the show, on

982
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: the show where I printed not to know the name

983
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: of Infinity War. It's a real good it's a real

984
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: popular one among the fans. We've got a whole shirt

985
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: line that goes that goes big, big, big War. Um.

986
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: So there's a real life the snap get it? Ultron

987
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: Age of Ultron the Snap. Remember I didn't watch Age

988
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: of Ultron. Wait, which is the on with a snap?

989
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. Oh no, that's yeah,

990
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: that's he wears the Magic Glove and he does a

991
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: snap and then Spiderman, I'm gonna you know what I'll

992
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: just do. Let's just translate it's the Gauntlet of the

993
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: Infinity Stones. Spider Man. Uh and he gets turned into

994
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: dust in the wind. Uh and that sounds right. Yeah,

995
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: and then uh because he used his powerful, powerful snap

996
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: to to do do a harm to people. You think,

997
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: do you think that the big Purple Man Grimace, you

998
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: mean Muscle Grimmace. Muscle Grimace snapped and only Spider Man disappeared,

999
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: and he was like, ah, job done. I mean, that's

1000
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: what I figured from all the tumbler meme. Um. So,

1001
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: pistol shrimp are little guys about four centimeters big. They're

1002
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: found worldwide and tropical and subtropical waters, which I don't

1003
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: know what the difference between those two things are tropical

1004
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: and subtropical. I just I guess we are in a

1005
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: subtropical climate. I see, Okay, I'll take your word for it. Um.

1006
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: So they have one tiny claw and one huge giant

1007
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: claw and infinity claw if you will. Infinity claw, yes, yeah, okay,

1008
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here for you. Uh. And it has

1009
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: a deadly snap. The snapping claw can grow up to

1010
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: half the shrimp's body size. Uh. It's a really interesting mechanism.

1011
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: So only the top part of the claw moves, and

1012
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: it has like a hidden plunger that fits into the

1013
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: bottom socket of the claw. Um and that compressive force

1014
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: it what is what causes the snap? Um sort of

1015
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: like when you snap your fingers. The snapping sound isn't

1016
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the fingers rubbing each other, it's the the middle finger

1017
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: landing on your palm. That was mind blowing to me

1018
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: when I discovered that the little pad your thumb is.

1019
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: That's how I taught. I taught someone to stamp their fingers,

1020
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: and that's how I taught them. Like it's like, it's

1021
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: not that rubbing. It's like, if you care too much

1022
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: about the you're not a cricket, You're not or a

1023
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: water boat. They were he was trying to snap with

1024
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: his penis. But how do you learn the potential? It's

1025
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: not the penis, it's the sound of the penis hitting

1026
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the fig um so uh, pistol shrimp. Uh. They so

1027
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: they can um. They have a really powerful muscle that

1028
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: can like have this really powerful compressive energy. Um. And

1029
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: then it closes, uh that that mechanism, that little plunger

1030
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: in the claw that goes in the socket closes over

1031
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: the water with so much force it creates a jet

1032
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: stream that travels at a hundred feet a second um.

1033
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: It's so fast that it creates a pressure differential cavitation

1034
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: bubble that collapses. Uh. And for a fraction of a second,

1035
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: it reaches eight thousand degrees fahrenheit, which is almost as

1036
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: hot as the surface of the sun, and the snap

1037
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: rings in at about two decibels, and the shock wave

1038
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: that is a result of this snap can stunt or

1039
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: kill whatever is in its path like small prey. So

1040
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: it like once it stuns the prey and then it

1041
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: drags it into its burrow and eats it. Um. There's

1042
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: a I know about this, the pistol shrimp, because there

1043
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: was a great radio lab about it where somebody It

1044
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: started with somebody sitting on the dock and hearing what

1045
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: sounded like soda in the water, like popping the carbonation pops.

1046
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: What is that? And like did a deep dive into

1047
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: it and found out that it was these pistol shrimp.

1048
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: They're very cool. But what I'm trying to look up

1049
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: the guy who does a Marvel character who just claps?

1050
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Really there is let's see if you google like Clappy Marvel.

1051
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:03,439
Speaker 1: You know I'm going to do it. Clappy Marvel, Marvel hero,

1052
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: what does a good clap? Who does a good clap?

1053
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Shock wave? Okay? His name that that makes that makes

1054
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: sense since that's the that is the name. They're usually

1055
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: quite literally named like matter eater Lad. There's a character

1056
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: named I think arms fall off Man, and he's exactly

1057
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: what he sounds like. Is this a bit I Marvel character?

1058
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: And a lot of times you'll see that you can

1059
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: find frames of him just taking his arm off and

1060
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: then beating somebody with uh. Well, so the it can

1061
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: also use the snap to burrow into rock and it

1062
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: can like break glass too, So if you have one

1063
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: in a not great fish tank, you can probably break

1064
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: through that. Don't keep these, don't keep these as pets.

1065
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Don't keep the mice with the skin that fall off

1066
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: or the shrimp that snaps real good. Those aren't good pets.

1067
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: So what it's creating is not actually it's a bubble

1068
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: that collapses in on it all. Yeah, So it's kind

1069
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: of like um. So like when you crack your knuckle,

1070
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: that snapping sound, isn't it like popping out of the

1071
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: joint or anything like that. You've opened up the space

1072
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: in your knuckle that creates sort of this um chemical

1073
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: reaction of like allowing more um space for it for

1074
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: this bubble to form. Now, snapping sound is the bubble collapsing.

1075
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: So it's like the bubble forms and then collapses almost instantly. Oh,

1076
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: it's the tooth. The sounds of the tooth sides or

1077
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: whatever collapsing are hitting each other. Yeah, it's it's like

1078
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the Yeah, the sound of the

1079
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: force of like the um uh, like, you know, like

1080
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: when a if you pop a I don't know if

1081
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: popping a balloon is a good example. Actually I'm not

1082
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: sure if that's correct. But that's a good question. I'm

1083
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: a little out of my depth because I'm not, you know,

1084
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: physics person, But yeah, it's a good question. I have

1085
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: no idea. I guess I mean, if I was to

1086
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: guess it is that it's I think it's I think

1087
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: it's the force of the air. Um, like like how

1088
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: you know there's a sonic boom with a plane and

1089
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: that's like the air collapsing on it's all. Yeah, yeah,

1090
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what that is. Okay, so these crowds

1091
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: are creating a little sonic boom, yes, and it's it

1092
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: reaches temperatures almost as hot as the surface of the

1093
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: sun a fraction of a second. Yeah, um and a

1094
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: fraction of a second. But does that does that mean

1095
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: they can burn? We don't know. I don't know. That's

1096
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: a good question. I don't know if it would be.

1097
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it lasts long enough to like, yeah,

1098
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure that water puts it out pretty quickly. Uh

1099
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: so have you heard of the DC super villain Mr Bones?

1100
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: He has a cyanide touch. Um, he's a skeleton. He's

1101
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: a skeleton who wears a suit. And he's also known

1102
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: as Director Bones. The way you're telling me, I think

1103
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: you're lying. I'm not lying. This is true. This is

1104
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: this is like arms fall off man. This is an

1105
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: an actual character. Um. I just like he's like either

1106
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: Mr Bones or Director Bones. And like he's like says

1107
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: to his friends like, no, no, my father was Mr Bones.

1108
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: Call me Director Bones. Well, so let's get let's take

1109
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: a trip down imagination station, which is where we like

1110
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: to go on this podcast. Uh So, imagine close your

1111
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: eyes not people who are driving um or operating having machinery,

1112
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: and keep those eyes open. Um. But imagine you're hiking

1113
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: through the caverns of the Uthai Thani province in Thailand.

1114
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: It's dark and dank, and you hear the drippings of

1115
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: stalag tights and stalagmites. No, not that one. Gravity doesn't

1116
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: go that way, and you're just admiring the cavern. Maybe

1117
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: you have a headlamp or something, um and and you

1118
01:06:53,240 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: smell almonds, the unmistakable scent of almonds. Bill's your knows

1119
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of this cavern. Well, you gotta stop

1120
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: what you're doing and get the funk out of there

1121
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: because you have just entered the layer of the dragon

1122
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: millipede and you don't want to startle them. All right,

1123
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: you're on board with this. Um, So dragon millipedes can

1124
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: actually shoot hydrogen cyanide at potential threats from special glands.

1125
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Uh uh, there's it's got a pleasant almond smell too,

1126
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: because cyanide smells like yeah, that's how you hide cyanide

1127
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: in somebody's food. Yeah, with almonds, Like like, would you

1128
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: like this almond croissant? Like, oh no, it's fine, Please

1129
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: have this almond croissan What about that that other one? No? No,

1130
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: no the almonds? Where's it? Shoot it out of lands? Yeah?

1131
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: But like it's just like gland okay, face not like

1132
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: they're not they're not one of the caterpillars that whip

1133
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: off their back and squirrel. No. I think it's front

1134
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 1: glance pretty sure, but to be to be frank, these

1135
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: look pretty similar from the front or the back, so

1136
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: I could beake um and uh it is actually kind

1137
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: of pretty Uh, let me get it to what end

1138
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and what was it due to? You? If you get

1139
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: hit by this burn you it's sulfur science. It's a

1140
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: hydrogen si. Okay, so it's like an acid yeah, yeah, yeah,

1141
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: and it's toxic. Yes, well it's an acid, so it

1142
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: burns you. Um. So that's what it looks like. That's

1143
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 1: not pretty, that's terrifying. I don't know. I think it

1144
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: kind of looks like a twizzler. It looks like a

1145
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: dragon with no head, yes, um And they're bright magenta

1146
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: and that that's actually aposomatic coloration. Uh So it's like

1147
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: warning them, like, hey, I got gland full of acid.

1148
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Remember remember me, I've got I'm the one with with

1149
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the acid. Well, what are the what kind of possible

1150
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: predators because they have in those dank caves bats and stuff? Yeah,

1151
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: probably cave birds. That's what that's are called. Um So,

1152
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: but let's let's let's go back to imagination station. I'm

1153
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: sorry I didn't leave. Was that I supposed to get

1154
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: on a train link come back? I mean it's a

1155
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: round trip. Okay. So have you seen a new show

1156
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Charon Noble? Um, I haven't watched it. I do know

1157
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: about that whole incident though, Like I've read stuff about it,

1158
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: and it's the whole I don't know how deep in

1159
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: the show, do they go through the scenes of like

1160
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: people's skin falling off, and there's about there's one episode

1161
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: where it delves pretty deeply and darkly into that. The

1162
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: first responders in particular, Yeah, those are the guys who

1163
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: touched the graphite core. Uh. The other everybody else is

1164
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: sort of like exposed to the radiation and some bad

1165
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: things happen them. But they Yeah, they go through the

1166
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: first responders and the first sponders, you know, they get

1167
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: very sick. Then they have to their clothes are I radiated,

1168
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: So it's just making them worse. And then slowly they

1169
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: their skin starts turning black and then translucent and then

1170
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: starts peeling off and nickrotic tissue turns black. Yeah, and

1171
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: then they it's everybody looks like if two Face had

1172
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: that horrible two Face on his entire body. That's not

1173
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: that that's not a good one. I don't like that one. Um.

1174
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's also the thing with radiation poisoning. God,

1175
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like when I try to imagine having

1176
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: radiation poisoning, it's almost like I would I wouldn't. I

1177
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: would want to like just nope out of that situation,

1178
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: because like the because like, also your organs are melting inside.

1179
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: They do address that a little bit too. There where

1180
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: there's one man who knows what actually happens to you,

1181
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: and he knows what it means to be there, and

1182
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: he's he's like trying to tell other people, like don't

1183
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: fly over the core. Don't do this, because you'll be

1184
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: dead in a week and you will want to put

1185
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a bullet in your own head before that. Right, It's

1186
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: one of the the most painful, awful potential death you could have.

1187
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: So like when I think of like, because I don't know,

1188
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: there aren't that many super villains that scare me too much,

1189
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: like their powers like I'm the Riddler, I will kill

1190
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: you with riddles um or like you know, like what's

1191
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: the one of them, Like I'll ice you to death.

1192
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't seem like, yeah, that doesn't seem Mr

1193
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Ice is actually pretty nice. I've heard, Yeah, Like I

1194
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 1: feel like that would be a not bad way to go.

1195
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: But when I think of like the scariest super villain,

1196
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: it would be like like radiation man, you could like

1197
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: make you get radiation poisoning and then you just know

1198
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: like once you get it, you're like, well, I'm going

1199
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: to die and it's gonna be like you know, like

1200
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: so like just imagine if you will. The supervillain has

1201
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: like fist shaped like hypodermic needles, and if you get

1202
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: within his clutches, he'll stab you with his radioactivity toxin um.

1203
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: But it also comes with like a paralytic toxin and

1204
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: you can't move, so you're just totally helpless. And then

1205
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 1: you kind of you're like, oh, man, I want to

1206
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: scratch my nose because my nose is running. You can't move,

1207
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: and then you realize that's not your nose running, it's

1208
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: your brains lialifying out your nose. Yes, that super villain's

1209
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: name is sybel Bannis tomal neensis, a name that strikes fear.

1210
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: You try to pronounce this name. Why is it always

1211
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,759
Speaker 1: going to be me? You try it? Okay, uh as

1212
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: I zibalbanous t linin nous, No, I had too many

1213
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: ends to luminous this, Yes, the dreaded little balbinus. So

1214
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a subalbanous tuminousness is a crustacean. We'll call him

1215
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: doctor doctor Melty, the crustacean. He spent His power is great.

1216
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I want to power is great. But like he should

1217
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,919
Speaker 1: spend a little more time on Doctor Melty. He's um

1218
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: described by smith Smithsonian biologist Jill Yeager as a creature

1219
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:45,440
Speaker 1: with a body, elongate, slender, without eyes or pigment, cephalatic

1220
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: shields small. I don't know what that is. Well, it's

1221
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: a it's a cephal pods that makes sense, but tapering

1222
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: slightly at anterior end. Trunk segments number increasing with age.

1223
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Maximum number examined was thirty six segments and counting. Okay, um,

1224
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta picture of that. You can see? Um, yeah, Okay,

1225
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a horrifying uh jet white jet white or

1226
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: is it just jet black? Is that the only thing

1227
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: that can be jet I think you can. I've seen

1228
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: white ghost white jets. Right, it's a ghost white looks

1229
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: but like a water center like the dragon millipede, but

1230
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: it's white and it has no eyes. And well they're uh.

1231
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: They are found in and Keeling caves on the Yucatan

1232
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Peninsula in the Caribbean Sea. They're blind, They're only about

1233
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: an inch long, but their process of feeding makes them

1234
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: super super not. I don't like them. No, it's front

1235
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: claws resemble hypodermic needles. They're attached to venom filled reservoirs

1236
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 1: that can be pumped into their victims with special muscles.

1237
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: The then um contains a paralyzing toxin and digestive enzymes,

1238
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: rendering the victim helpless as its body liquefies. Oh no, oh,

1239
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: that sounds awful. So you digests you outside of its

1240
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: body and then drinks you up all right with its

1241
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: horrible mandibles. There's there's a snail I think that does that,

1242
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: and it comes up to mollusks like clams and things

1243
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: like that, and it can drill a whole inside the

1244
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: whole of the clam and then just shoots some digestive

1245
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: fluid in there and treats the clamshell like its stomach

1246
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: and was like, oh, time's up, okay, and then slurps

1247
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: it all up. It's actually kind of a that's a

1248
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,600
Speaker 1: pretty common tactic of like um, like starfish do, or

1249
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: they like throw up their digestive juices on something and

1250
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: just waits for it to melt and then drinks it

1251
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: up and um. But to me, what makes this animal

1252
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the worst is that it's hands are needles. I do

1253
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: not like that. Yeah, well, so I have a thing

1254
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: with like clinic blood in a clinical setting really unnerves me. Interesting.

1255
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: It's a real phobia of mine. Did you know that's

1256
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: actually one of the more common phobias among men. Yeah, yeah,

1257
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: very basic. But I mean like out in I've I've

1258
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: encounter people who have compound fractures and things like that

1259
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: out in the wild, and that's way less disturbing to me,

1260
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: like bones sticking out of skin. You've seen you have

1261
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: an ankle yet and you have what and how and what?

1262
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: We So the high school that I went to was

1263
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: very outdoor oriented, outdoor trips and and then we'd also

1264
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: lead a few trips and in doing so, like there

1265
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 1: was a man the French teacher who broke his ankle

1266
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: and had a compound fracture. Have you seen that YouTube

1267
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: video of like I think they're like, uh, either football

1268
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: or basketball students, like they're on a team, and then

1269
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: they're like college students or something, and then like one

1270
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: of them is doing some exercise in his ankle breaks

1271
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 1: through his skin and like this room full of like

1272
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: these burly like sports guys like just run out screaming.

1273
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: It's uh that that's way less disturbing to me than

1274
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: seeing somebody put a scalpel to skin. Really I'm not.

1275
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm almost the exact opposite. Like for me medical stuff,

1276
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean, part of it is I had to look

1277
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: like for my old job, I had to look at

1278
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of medical images and stuff. But like um,

1279
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: for me, it's the it's the out in the wild

1280
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: injuries that like makes me feel loozy because it's like, oh,

1281
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: that's so on sanitary where more logical sense makes way

1282
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: more sense. But like see, I mean it depends it also,

1283
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: like super depends on the context. Like I can see

1284
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: most surgeries, but if it's cosmetic surgery, that gets me

1285
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: like like I can see something like open heart surgery,

1286
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: brain surgery, you know, the ends meet the means maybe

1287
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: like yeah, well like like with it. And it's not

1288
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 1: that I disapprove of cosmetic surgery. I don't think like,

1289
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: oh it's a bad thing and that's why I don't

1290
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: like it. It's that it's like with liposuction, if I

1291
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 1: see that, that makes me so squeamish because it's like

1292
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: there's sucking your fat out of you, and it's like

1293
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that's supposed to be in there. That's

1294
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: how I feel it. Just the idea of drawing blood

1295
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: with needles in general really freak me out, and I

1296
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 1: have to look away even for shots at my age,

1297
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: and when blood is drawn from me, I have to

1298
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: mentally prepare the entire day to go have that done

1299
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: because seeing that blood leave me, I'm like, this is

1300
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe like me loving myself too much, but I'm like,

1301
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: you see the blood leaving, I'm like, that's mine. Yeah,

1302
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: I know. I'm like, I'm actually okay with them pumping

1303
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: anything into me. That's fine, Like you give me a shot,

1304
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, like it, or like an infusion during like

1305
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: say like wisdom teeth that you want that that nice

1306
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: sleepy like that's fine. When it's taken out of me,

1307
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: Like when it's like blood that you're robbing from my body,

1308
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm like pretty sure I need that. I'm pretty sure

1309
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: that's important to have inside of my body, not not

1310
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: out there. I made it and it's mine. Yeah. There's

1311
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: actually it's called UM. If you ever feel faint, that's

1312
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: like called evasive legal response to UH, to blood being

1313
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: removed from you or seeing blood UM. And it's very

1314
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: very common. I used to have it a lot more

1315
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: until I started having to get my blood drawn a

1316
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:20,560
Speaker 1: lot more and then it was like I guess I

1317
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: just got used to it. But um, but like one

1318
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: thing you can do is like if you clench your legs,

1319
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: like you clench your muscles or and like cross your

1320
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: legs and like clench them, that's supposed to help a

1321
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: little bit. Um Yeah, for some reason it like I

1322
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: think it helps with your heart rate and your something

1323
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 1: with your parents. And next time I have to have

1324
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: blood drawn, I will, yeah, or just think of how

1325
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,520
Speaker 1: much worse it could be with like getting getting injected

1326
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: by doctor melting, like like at least your insights aren't

1327
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: liquified like that the liquid that's coming out of you

1328
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a liquid. Yeah, So I guess

1329
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: maybe being bitten by something that just paralyzes you and

1330
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: then it consumes you while you're paralyzed. That also happens

1331
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: that I think we've covered that on a show before.

1332
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: There's a type of one of those uh parasitoid wasps

1333
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: that will attack spiders and they will drag it down

1334
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:25,839
Speaker 1: into their dinners like pick the spider paralyzed but alive,

1335
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: and then it's young bulls slowly either over the course yea,

1336
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: and they eat the less vital tissues first, so that

1337
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: the spider survives longer. Actually, this might not be a

1338
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 1: parasitical loss. It might just be a predatory loss. But

1339
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: it's like they select the non vital organs so that

1340
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: it survives longs that may help the fresh Oh h nature,

1341
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: So were We're so lucky, lucky that we're the only

1342
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: species that every single one of us the day we

1343
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 1: die because to all, something's eating our inside. Like everything

1344
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: else in the world dies while something is consuming it. Yes,

1345
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: it's we. We really want that lottery in terms of

1346
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: which animal we are. Oh man, Well, thank you so

1347
