00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Creature future production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm your host of Mini Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: psychology and evolutionary biology, and I'm one of the world's

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: leading Garfield fans love that orange cat. He sounds disrespectful

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: and lazy. I'll laugh riot, But that poor old cat

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: has been eating lasagna and kicking Odie off a table

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: for such a long time. Seems like it's about time

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: for him to retire. So today on the show, we're

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: scouring the animal kingdom to look for a new species

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: of animal to cast as the replacement Garfield. Will it

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: be the pygmy blue tongue skink, the goulper eel, reticulated python,

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: or another candidate. Discover this and more as we answer

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the age old question. Is Garfield measured more by his laziness,

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: his hatred for Monday's or his ability to eat an

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: entire tray of lasagna in one bite. Joining me today

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: are my fellow Garfield friends and other members of the

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: Garf skeatars, comedians Joey Clift and Hannah Michael's. Welcome you guys,

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: so excited to be here to talk about Garfield with

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: two other people who love Garfield. Me too, So welcome

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: to our first bi annual meeting of minds of the

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Garfield Heads Society. You guys like Garfield, right, I actually haven't. Um.

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 1: An eBay page opened right now coincidentally for Garfield toilet seats,

23
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with any any of

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: the podcast. I just want one. I have some questions

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: about the Garfield toilet seat. Mainly is the opening for

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: the toilet seat his mouth, so it's like you're pooping

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: into his mouth? This is the wish. This is not

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: what I've found so far. Um. What I've found so

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: far are many different styles, though they're all kind of cushy,

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: which kind of weirds me out, but it's also comforting. Um.

31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: And some are holiday themes, so you can switch out

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: your regular Garfield toilet seat for like an Easter Garfield

33
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: toilet seat. As somebody who has multiple Garfield toilet seats

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: for every occasion, including a special Garfield toilet seat that

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: I used just on my birthday, I get it. Well,

36
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: I have a Garfield enema, but so I just I

37
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: just think that like when we talk about Garfield and

38
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: casting Garfield, we should talk about what Garfield means to

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: us maybe not like the original intention of Garfield, because

40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the original intention of Garfield was just to make money,

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: was just to make a mass marketable cartoon, to be

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: friendly to merchandise. And I understand this, and I don't.

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: It's my love for Garfield is not really. It's not

44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: because oh yeah, he's a cute cat and hilarious, because

45
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not actually that funny. There's an almost nihilistic aspect

46
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: to Garfield where he desires to consume everything to nap.

47
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: He hates mondays, and he hates all other living creatures.

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: And I find that interesting from an evolutionary biology perspective. Yeah,

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: and I find he sort of hearkens back to a

50
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: time that was I don't want to say normal. I

51
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: don't want to say normal. Garfield is hyper normal in

52
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and there's something fascinating about that.

53
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: And and the sort of world that he takes on

54
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: in each of our minds is the opposite of that,

55
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: I think, because in our childhood s, Garfield was hyper normal, right.

56
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: He's the opiate of the masses. And it's one of

57
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: those things where you imagine in a post apocalyptic world

58
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: where it's just a barren, dust covered earth. But then

59
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you the dust, the wind blows, and the dust parts

60
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: to reveal the face of a plastic Garfield. And I

61
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: feel that that really encapsulates the human race. I I

62
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: hate to stop being so philosophical, because I do enjoy

63
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: discussing the philosophical ramifications of Garfield, but I we do

64
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: need to get on task here, and what we're doing

65
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: is we are recasting another species as Garfield. Because look,

66
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: this has been He's been a cat for over forty years.

67
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but cats don't actually have

68
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: that long of a lifespan, so it's you know, he's

69
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: probably been played by several cats, and I just think

70
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: that we need to, you know, have a different casting.

71
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: I think it's getting stale. The the having Garfield be

72
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: a cat is officially getting stale, and I want to

73
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: recast him as another species of animal. And I am

74
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: going to make the best case I can for each

75
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: of these animals for you guys to judge as the

76
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: pre eminent Garfield scholars that I know whether these animals

77
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: encapsulate the credo of Garfield. And let's be real, cats

78
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: live for about ten to twenty years. I feel like

79
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: there's probably been forty three different garfields. They get a

80
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: new one every year because you just feed a cat

81
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: that much lasagna, it's not going to live that long. No,

82
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: his eyes keep getting bigger. Yeah, that's that's why. That's

83
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: why there's a garfield model change. And how he looks

84
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: different every year, is it's a different garfield. Yes, every

85
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: time he's drawn slightly differently. That's actually a new garfield,

86
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: sort of phoenix like erupting from the blow to the

87
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: lasagna field carcass of the old garfield. By that that's

88
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: how garfield reproduces. I mean as a as a as

89
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: a Garfield biologist, I'm making decision that yes, garfield explodes.

90
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: A new garfield explodes from the carcass of the old garfield,

91
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: much like a caterpillar turning into a beautiful garfield. So

92
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: my first animal for you guys to judge the garfield

93
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: worthiness of is the pigmy blue tongue skink, which sounds

94
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: a little bit insulting, but that's its actual name. So

95
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the pigmy blue tongue skink is found in South Australia.

96
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Skinks are a type of lizard. They're sort of chunky

97
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: and tubular lizards. They have like little stubby legs. And

98
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: these guys, the pigmy blue tongue skinks, are about the

99
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: size of a thumb and they're extremely lazy. And in

100
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: this first section, I'm going to talk about animals that

101
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I think represent the sort of like lazy Margaritaville aspect

102
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: to Garfield's personality. So pigmy blue tongues. One interesting thing

103
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: is their tongues are actually pink. The reason they're called

104
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: pigmy blue tongue skinks is because they are. They seem

105
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: like they're smaller versions of their much larger relatives, the

106
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: blue tongue skinks, which are about the size of a

107
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: whole hand, And those guys do have blue tongues, but

108
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: these ones don't. But they're smaller and people, I guess

109
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the people naming them just didn't bother to check to

110
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: see if their tongues are actually blue before naming them, which,

111
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, whatever that this is a common problem with

112
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: the naming of animals is it's often you just name

113
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: it the opposite of what it is. Like this is

114
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: the yeah, this is the long neck shrewe, and it

115
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't have a neck at all. It's very straight.

116
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: It's Australia. They have a lot of listens, just like also,

117
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: just checking info is hard. It's like, what are you

118
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: expecting every scientist to look into the mouth of every

119
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: animal that they name based on their mouth color. Give

120
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: me a break. I feel like every biologist wants to

121
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: look into the mouth of every animal to be honest.

122
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: So they are very lazy homebodies. They just want to

123
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: sit in their little burrows all day long. In fact,

124
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: they are much home bodies. They were thought to be

125
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: extinct up until the nineties when they were rediscovered because

126
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: they spend almost all of their time in their burrows

127
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: hanging out, so they're very hard to find out in

128
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: the wild. And when I say they're burrows, I actually

129
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: mean a burrow that they've stolen from spiders. They're too

130
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: lazy to dig their own burrows, so they live in

131
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: empty spider burrows. And what they like to do is

132
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: wait at the entrance of their burrows for prey to

133
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: walk by, and essentially waiting for the prey to just

134
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: like fall into their mouths. They will snap at prey

135
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: as they walk by. It is called ambush predation. In

136
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: this case, I think it's just pure laziness, though. It

137
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: is these lizards waiting for an insect to be unlucky

138
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: enough to basically crawl across their nose or mouth and

139
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: then they just snap them up. On a scale of

140
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: one to Garfield, how much how many field garfs does

141
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: this rate at? Garf garves g P I garves per.

142
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to base my Garfield rating on three equally

143
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: very important factors. One do I think that they hate mondays?

144
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: To do I think they could put down a whole

145
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: plate of lasagna? And Three do I think they could

146
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: kick an odi off a table? So, you know, like

147
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: going into you know, using those ratings. Looking at this

148
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: blue tongue skink, I feel like, based on the look

149
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: at this animal's face, I think it's a ten out

150
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: of ten on hating mondays. I'm gonna give it. I'm

151
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: gonna give it a solid garf for just looking like

152
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: it hates mondays. It doesn't even approach mondays. It's stage

153
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: by that. It's like, yeah, like mondays are a foreign

154
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: concept to this thing. It dislikes it so much. Do

155
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: I think it could put down a full thing of lasagna?

156
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean probably not, Like it's just it's kind of small.

157
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not sure, you know, like if it ate,

158
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,359
Speaker 1: I feel like you could probably eat a piece of lasagna,

159
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: but like not like a not like a pan of lasagna.

160
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: And that's like a very important thing that I looked

161
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: through for any Garfield one out of ten on the

162
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: on the eating a panel las on your writing. So

163
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: that's like a just a not a full garf. And then, um,

164
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: do I think it could kick an ODI off a

165
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: table if it was like a tiny ODI? Maybe, but

166
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: like probably not like a full sized odie. So I

167
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: think I'm giving the pigmy blue tunk skink just just

168
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: one garf, just one garf, just one garf. Okay, yeah,

169
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: no that's fair. What do you think, Conna? Since Joey

170
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: covered a lot of the specifically you know, solely Garfield aspects, Um,

171
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a bit on do people own this?

172
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: I may go on a John scale here, I see

173
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: on a John scale. Yeah, that the John scale. I

174
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: don't think people own this. This is very rare. I

175
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: don't know of it being owned as a pet, at

176
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: least not responsibly. So it's a terrible pet to have. Well,

177
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's toss ethics right out the window.

178
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: We are talking Garfield here. Ethics boy, Yeah, and we

179
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: are talking John who. Yeah, John like allowed his brother

180
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: to I think die in his basement, right, is like

181
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,239
Speaker 1: they're used to he used to have a brother. Seriously,

182
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: why when he mysteriously disappeared was probably killed and eaton

183
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: by Garfield. And John does not just over his dog, yeah, right,

184
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: turns a blind eye to all of Garfield's crimes. So

185
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: I feel like ethics were as much as I care

186
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: about being ethical, John certainly doesn't. Yeah, it is. It

187
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: is actually cannon in Garfield. There was a Garfield um

188
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: point and click adventure game that came out in the

189
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: nineties or early two thousand's. It was like Garfield's Halloween

190
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Quest or something like that. And um, there is an

191
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: easter egg where if you go into Garfield's basement you

192
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: do see Lyman's skeleton chained to a wall. And it's

193
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: definitely definitely so you know, I mean, like, look, this

194
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: isn't anything I need to tell you know, the two

195
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: of you, we get it. But yeah, so in canon,

196
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: Lyman is chained to the basement, to John Arbuckle's basement.

197
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: John probably did it John probably did it. Okay, this

198
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: this is actually telling me nothing. I'm just going to

199
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: get two girls, all right. Onto The next girf contender

200
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: is the starfish. Now, there's a reason that marine biologist

201
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: and creator of SpongeBob, Stephen Hillenberg, portrayed Patrick Star a

202
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: starfish as a lazy, brainless Now. I love SpongeBob. I

203
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: very much missed Stephen Hillenberg. He was a wonderful creator

204
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: because he was actually a marine biologist and a lot

205
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: of the things in SpongeBob had references to marine biology

206
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: that we're really charming. Um, But yeah, the Patrick star

207
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: is actually a pretty accurate depiction of what an anthropomorphic

208
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: starfish would be like. Starfish are radially symmetrical kind of dorms,

209
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: which are related to sand dollars and sea urchins. They

210
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: have no brain, but they do have a radial nervous system.

211
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: They have very limited sensory organs. They have simple eye

212
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: spots on each arm, and they are able to respond

213
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: to touch and smell and light and dark and that's

214
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: about it. So they can move very very slowly with

215
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the help of many rows of tiny tube feet called

216
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: podia on each arm. So each of those arms have

217
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: all of these little tiny they look like little tentacles

218
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: or like fur or something, but these are all little

219
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: moving arms, and they actually move with the help of

220
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: a complex hydraulic system inside the starfish. Uh. And so

221
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: it's like the starfish is this really interesting machine of hydraulics.

222
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: And the each of the little podia, the little tiny feet,

223
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: has adhesive chemicals in it that allows it to cling

224
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: to substrates. So it's actually mechanically very complex in terms

225
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: of its ability to think not nothing really going on there.

226
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: So another interesting thing, and as a lot of people

227
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: actually do know, they can digest externally, so they can

228
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: avert their stomach, which basically means spitting out their stomach

229
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: inside out, you know, like you take a sock and

230
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: you turn the sock inside out. They do that, but

231
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: with their stomach outside of their mouths. And why they

232
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: do this is that once they spit out their stomach

233
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: like that, it's still attached their body. But by averting it,

234
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: they allow all these digestive enzymes to spill out over

235
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: their prey and dissolve the prey externally, so then it

236
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: can suck up prey that would be too large to ingest.

237
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Through its mouth without turning it into like a smoothie.

238
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Uh So one trick that they do. I've actually have

239
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: a video on here if you guys want to look

240
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: at it, is this is a sunflower starfish prying open

241
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: a bi valve, which is like a clam, and it

242
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: pries open those those shells, spits its stomach out uh

243
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: into the bivalve, and then it can dissolve it it's

244
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: in sides and then suck them back up. So that's

245
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: one way it feeds. It's just yeah, it's surprising to

246
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: think of these guys as predators because when you see them,

247
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: they don't really move that much. They almost don't seem

248
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: like a living animal. You can only really see how

249
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: they move by speeding up camera footage of it and

250
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: seeing that they do move around in chase after prey

251
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: and prey after other slow moving animals. Another interesting thing

252
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: about the starfish is they have gonads on each of

253
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: their arm tips, and with mating, like everything else, they

254
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: are rather passive and lazy. Most species do actually have

255
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: separate males and females, even though they're almost completely identical.

256
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: They just have different like male and female gonads on

257
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: their arm tips. And typically what starfish will do is

258
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: they release the egg and sperm into the water for

259
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: external fertilization, and then these fertilized eggs will hatch and

260
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: become zooplankton tiny larval starfish. In some species there is

261
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: internal fertilization and in other species, like it's not that common,

262
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: but females may even brood their eggs, so sitting on

263
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: their eggs like a chicken or keeping them inside a

264
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: special brood pouch. The cutest mating ritual between starfish is pseudocopulation,

265
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: so they don't actually have to copulate like a lot

266
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: of other animals where there's you know, insertion of genitalia

267
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: and this. They are just like the male gets on

268
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: top of the female and they link their arms together

269
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: like they're holding hands and then do external fertilization. So

270
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: there's no real reason for them to get on top

271
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: of each other other than to sort of encourage each

272
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: other to release their gonads into the water. Then it

273
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: is externally fertilizes in you know, the beautiful, wonderful process.

274
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: So the reason I'm nominating this as a garfield is

275
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: its ability to eat things larger than itself by literally

276
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: spitting out its stomach and digest staying externally and sucking

277
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: it back in. It's extremely laid back in lazy attitude

278
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: towards romance, like you know how like Garfield has been

279
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: dating Arline for years, but it's just always so like

280
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: he's so passive. It just seems like he's waiting for

281
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: something to happen, but it never does happen. And also

282
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: it's very slow and sometimes orange. So that those are

283
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: my reasons for nominating the starfish. I would say that

284
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: the only downside to the starfish is that I don't

285
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: think Garfield is stupid. I think he chooses not to

286
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: use his brain, like it's an active choice, like he

287
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: could think if he used a hundred percent of his brain,

288
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: it would actually turn out he's like a super genius.

289
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: He just elects not to think that hard about things.

290
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: So what do you guys think? I was actually going

291
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: to ask if Garfield because of the Garfield and Arline situation,

292
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: because we know Garfield and Arline do have gon ads

293
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: on their arm tips, but right do they? I think

294
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it again, it's like an external fertilization situation where they

295
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: kind of like maybe it's like they externally fertilize. Garfield

296
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: then absorbs the eggs into his brood sack, and then

297
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: the brood erupt from, like we said earlier, from his

298
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: lasagna bloated carcass and feed off of him uh in

299
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: their sort of early larval stages. And that's how we

300
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: get a new Garfield. Okay here there have been a

301
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: lot of like, you know, really great biological thinkers on

302
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: the Internet who have also hypothesized the question of if

303
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: Garfield takes and you know, I mean, like, I like,

304
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of research googling Garfield on the Internet,

305
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: and you know, some images come up that like, really,

306
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: I think, just show that, you know, it shows some

307
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: good info there that I think just like shows. It's

308
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: like documentaries, you know, it's beautiful. I was looking at

309
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: the image earlier today of uh, Garfield totally act his

310
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: research for this. I was looking at an imagin earlier

311
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: today of Garfield holding a baby that he made with

312
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: Sonic the hedgehog. So you know, he's yeah, yeah, he

313
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: was capable of He's capable of having brood outside of

314
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: a species too. I I think that there, once again,

315
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: you're going back to my three factors. I think if

316
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: you look at the starfish, you know, the ability to

317
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: put down a plate of lasagna or pan a lasagna.

318
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: I think this starfish has got that in spades. That's

319
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: a solid tan. Of course, you know, ability to kick

320
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Odie off a table. I'm gonna say, I think that

321
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: this starfish could probably do that. Um, I think, you know,

322
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: it's like, it's probably not gonna be very fast, but

323
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: it looks like it's got enough mass that could pull

324
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: it off. It could probably set off like a Rube

325
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: gold device that kicks Odi off by sort of like

326
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: slowly crawling over, lulling ODI into a sense of security,

327
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: and then setting off the Rube Goldberg machine that kicks

328
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: Odie off into a box that gets mailed to Australia

329
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: or something. I buy that that's within the Roman possibility.

330
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: So once again going to give that a perfect ten.

331
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, do I think that the starfish hates Mondays? Honestly?

332
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, like you said, it doesn't really have a brain.

333
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: So I don't think that the starfish hates the Monday

334
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: hates Mondays. So I'm gonna give a zero on that.

335
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: But there is one, one, one additional important factor I

336
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: think with thinking about a replacement Garfield in um number

337
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: of gonads, and as we know, Garfield has a sexually

338
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: reproductive organ on the tip of each of his appendages.

339
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: Classic Garfield fact, right each of his classic Jim Davis

340
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: fact that just you know, that's like why you made

341
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: the character. So I'm gonna give this character a three guards,

342
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: you know, three three out of four. Yeah, that's solid.

343
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: It's a good number of garths. Hanna, do you concur

344
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: I do? I think on the on the John scale,

345
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna abandon after this because it's it's it's

346
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: a mess. Who about John anyway? But in terms of

347
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: a starfish, John would absolutely own this. He would wear

348
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: it on his lapel. He would try to impress ladies

349
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: that works. It would be stuck to his face and

350
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: slowly digest one of his eyeballs. I agree, yes, that

351
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: would also absolutely happened while he's hitting on the vet. Who,

352
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: by the way, take a class at the learning annex

353
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: about hints. Yeah, also like way to say, yeah, let's

354
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: trash talk to John. Liz is just doing her job,

355
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: She's just at work. Why would you just I don't know.

356
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: I also could definitely imagine John going to Liz with

357
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: Starfish Garfield. Garfish um on his face, it eating one

358
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: of its eyeballs by averting its stomach into his I

359
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: sock it, and then he quips to Liz, I guess

360
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: we just don't see eye to eye and Liz is going,

361
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, John, how did you Why is there?

362
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, your eye You're gonna be blind John,

363
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: and he's He's going, I guess we just don't see.

364
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: I I feel dizzy. She's also just like, did you

365
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: think that this would get me to say? Yesterdating you? What?

366
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: How did your brainwork? You definitely just wrote a Garfield

367
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: strip that is canon. I'm gonna say it has to be.

368
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: I feel like, after this episode end, we need to

369
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: just write a book of Starfield Garfield short right Starfield

370
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Sharfield strip number one rights itself. I just wanted to

371
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: give a quick honorary mention to one of the world's

372
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: most lovable lazy animals, the manatee. Manatees are a mammal

373
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: that lives an entirely aquatic life. Their closest living relatives

374
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: are elephants and hieraxes. Hieraxes being an African mammal that

375
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: looks a bit like an overgrown gopher combined with a

376
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: guinea pig. But manatees are wildly different in their behavior. Namely,

377
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: they're very lazy. They spend half their day snoozing in

378
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: the water, surfacing for air every twenty minutes or so.

379
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: The other half of their day they spend grazing aquatic plants.

380
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: And that's about it. That's the manatees life. They swim

381
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: at only about three miles per hour five kilometers per hour,

382
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: They only breed once every couple of years and give

383
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: birth to a single calf. And they're not necessarily stupid.

384
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: They seem to have long term memory and can learn

385
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: to associate events. They can also live quite a long time,

386
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: up to sixty years, which would allow it to actually

387
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: live as long as the comic strip has been running

388
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: a little over forty years. When we return, we're going

389
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: to rate animals based on another Garfield characteristic, their ability

390
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: to eat a lot. Garfield loves lasagna, So should you

391
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: feature Kitty a big old tray of the Italian treat. Sorry, folks,

392
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: but only in your cat's dreams. Lasagna often contains onion

393
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: and garlic in the seasoning, which is very toxic to cats.

394
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: And dogs too. Sorry Odie. The carbohydrates aren't great either,

395
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: nor is the dairy content, as cats are generally lactose intolerant,

396
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: so it'll give them even more tummy troubles. I wonder

397
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: why there's no Garfield strips all about the awful garf

398
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: farts that are almost certainly inevitable. So we've talked about

399
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: some lazy animals who I think could embody that aspect

400
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: of Garfield. That's like their strongest I think correlation to Garfield,

401
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: although the Starfield or garfish I think is strong also

402
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: in the eating category, which is what this section is

403
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: all about. So we're gonna talk about animals that eat enough,

404
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: and I think these are going to get a tin

405
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: out of tin on the entire tray of lasagna eating capability.

406
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: So first let's talk about the gulper eel also known

407
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: as the pelican eel, which is basically a mouth with

408
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: a tail, which I think, again, like Garfield, has changed

409
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: over the years, he's gotten more simply drawn, sort of

410
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: like bigger eyes, smaller body. I think, just get out

411
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: of the body. I think, just be a mouth with

412
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: a tail, like a mouth, eyes and a tail. So

413
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: the pelican eel is a deep sea eel with a long, thin,

414
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: blackish brown body about two and a half feet in length,

415
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: which is like point seven five meters, But it's mostly

416
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: a giant set of jaws with tiny needle like teeth

417
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: a pair of little beady eyes connected to the eel

418
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: part of it, which it's technically not all tail, but

419
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: it's it basically looks like a tail. It's just it's

420
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: body like imagine an eel, but the eel part is

421
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: pretty small relative to the head, which is just got

422
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: just a big mouth. I've got a we all have

423
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: a photo up right now. What's that on the on

424
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the but end of the tip, I want to say,

425
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: but it's the end of the tail. I think that

426
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: might be a biouminescent bulb was going to be it

427
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: was a little bit of design here, yeah, I mean,

428
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: looking at this balcony eel. I don't know how many

429
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: garths to give this thing, because there's just this is

430
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: a perfect garfield right here. It's like it's got a

431
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: giant mouth, looks like it's real mad at everything, not

432
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: just mondays uh. It looks like a love crafty and

433
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: horror thing, which we all know was Jim Davis's original

434
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: goal for Garfield was for him to be like a

435
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: Lovecraft horror monster. I think there's a book called Garfield

436
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: in his Nine Lives where Jim Davis draws different styles

437
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: of Garfield in different stories, and one is very horrific

438
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: and similar to this but more subtle. But no, I agree.

439
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: I think goulper eels are a very strong contender. Oh

440
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: and also, Hannah, I did look it up. That bulb

441
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: on his tail is indeed a bioluminescent bulb, and it

442
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: glows pink, which is cute. That is cute. I guess

443
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is looking at this pelcon eel when

444
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: I close my eyes and think of Garfield, this is

445
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: definitely what I see. So you know, one thing that

446
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: the goulper eel does is it uses its giant mouth

447
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: like a net. It can suck in huge gulps of

448
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: water and take in crustaceans and invertebrates, anything that can

449
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: like fit in in there, and then it can get Basically,

450
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: its stomach is like a balloon that can expand and

451
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: hold this food. It doesn't usually eat like that big

452
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: of prey, but it's capable of it. So you know,

453
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: you don't know what it's capable of, essentially, and it

454
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: turns itself into a water balloon, so sucks in a

455
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: huge amount of water until it literally looks like a

456
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: water balloon with a tail, and then it can push

457
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: all of the excess water out of its gill slits

458
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: and keep the food in its stomach. Uh. And there

459
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: is a video. I'll include all of this in the

460
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: show notes, but you guys can look. It's of a

461
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: gulper eel uh in water ballooon form. And marine biologists

462
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: are watching this on a deep sea cam and they're

463
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: losing it there. It's so funny to hear researchers lose

464
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: it overseeing something and they're like, what, it's a muppet.

465
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: It looks like a muppet. One question I had about

466
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: the Pelican eel that um is it's very important for

467
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: me and kind of like helping decide the future, Garfield

468
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: is do you think that this Do you think a

469
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: Pelican eel could survive swimming in a cup of coffee?

470
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: M hmm, this is an interesting hot cup of coffee. Oh,

471
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't think too hot. No, maybe, Like I mean,

472
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: first of all, it's a deep sea fish, so bringing

473
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: bringing it up to the surface to put it in

474
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: coffee is probably gonna kill it. I think if you

475
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: have somehow have like a cup of coffee in the

476
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: deep sea, which is gonna be hard because again, if

477
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: you have it in a styrofoam Starbucks cup, it's gonna

478
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: get crushed. So I think introducing this eel to coffee

479
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: is either going to destroy the coffee or destroy the eel.

480
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you can have these two things exist

481
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: at once in the same dimension. In that case, I mean,

482
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: I think, how are you thinking this would be? I

483
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: need to know, like, how would this work? Like? Is

484
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: Garfield known for swimming in commun Oh? Yes, I mean

485
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: there are a lot of you know, looking at the

486
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: original texts of Garfield, there are definitely a lot of

487
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: a lot of clips of him, you know, on a

488
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: Monday sitting in a giant cup of coffee like it's jacuzzi,

489
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I guess I just want to make

490
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: sure that the future Garfield is capable of, you know,

491
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: it was capable of living his true life, you know, right, Yeah,

492
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: I would say unfortunate. I have to be honest about

493
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: each candidate also because I am concerned with their welfare.

494
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to cast an animal as a garfield

495
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: and have the new garfield be in danger by being

496
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: in a giant, uh sort of kitty pool sized cup

497
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: of hot coffee and have that hurt them. Although I

498
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: would say again for most of these animals, I would say,

499
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: boiling coffee is not gonna work. It's gonna have to

500
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: be a tepid coffee. I think I'm okay with Like,

501
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: doesn't a boiling just like room temperature, you know, just

502
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: like the coffee part's important, right, if you can get

503
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: that down to the bottom of the ocean, it maybe

504
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: it'd be fine. Sure, why not? But probably like if

505
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: you want it to be floating in a cup of coffee,

506
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: like a comically large cup of coffee on the on

507
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: the surface, sort of like with sunglasses. I don't know.

508
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't think. I'm not sure about that. I can't

509
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: honestly say I think that would work. Okay, I'll keep

510
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: that in mind in my in my uh, in my decision,

511
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I think analysis, how many garths, Hannah do you think?

512
00:30:52,200 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Um mouth ten? Lasagna ten, swimsuit competition ten, personality ten,

513
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: So four garfs, four gars We got a solid four

514
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: garfs that's good. What do you think, Joey say, I'm

515
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: going to say four garfs with the asterisk of I

516
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: would if they're like so far, this animal is very

517
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: much in the front running. But if there's another animal

518
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: with an equal vote to that, can't that can swim

519
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: in a giant cup of coffee, I'm probably gonna have

520
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: to lean toward the other animal. Okay, okay, Also kicking

521
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: Odie off the table, like he could definitely swallow Odie hole,

522
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: he could swallow Odi again something you shouldn't google, and

523
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: then I think sped him out off the table. Oh okay, yes, yes,

524
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a valid that's I guess like with that,

525
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: I think it does. For kicking Odie off the table,

526
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: as long as he's bringing harm to Odi, I think

527
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: it's okay. So if he swallows and eats Odi, that's

528
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: like the same. Yeah, it's it's a similar, right. It's

529
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: sort of the inverse of the kicking off the table maneuver,

530
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: but just as potentially lethal. First issue of hell can

531
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: Eel Garfield is him swallowing odeon then spitting up his bones.

532
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Oh and the yeah, I love that with the cartoon bones,

533
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: where like it's literally the outline of the dog and

534
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: the ears are just giant earbones, right and please this

535
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: is going to be called garfiel fiel yea. I like it.

536
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: I like it. Our next candidate is the Tasmanian Devil,

537
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: who is a carnivorous marsupial from the Australian out Back.

538
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: They don't really look like the Loony Tunes taz. They

539
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: are little black and they usually have like a white

540
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: stripe on their chest. Furry little critter that looks like

541
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: the cross between a bear and a squirrel. Uh there,

542
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: About the size of a small dog. They have a

543
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: thick furry tail they used to store extra fat, and

544
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: they are extremely carnivorous and they have a voracious appetite

545
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: and a bad attitude. They can eat up to their

546
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: own body weight in one sitting, so much that they

547
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: can sometimes struggle to walk and they have to waddle

548
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: or rest. And relative to their size, they have the

549
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: strongest bite of any mammal. Their bite relative to their

550
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: body size is stronger than a tiger and they can

551
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: easily crush bone. In terms of their behavior, they are pugnacious.

552
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: They're not I think their reputation is maybe a little bit.

553
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: They're not necessarily territorial, but they do fight over food.

554
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: So most of the fights between devils is over food.

555
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: And sometimes they wrestle each other too, like they all

556
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: stand up on their hind legs and shove at each other.

557
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: That I think that this the Tasmanian Devil really encapsulates

558
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: garfields love violent love for food. I would say, um, yeah,

559
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: I think that this Garfield. You know, I get the

560
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: impression that that that Tasmanian Devil Garfield, Tasmanian Devil Feld

561
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: would um very much hate mondays in the same way

562
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: that probably hates everything else. I feel like it could

563
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: probably put down a an entire Panamlasania and probably also

564
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: eat the pan um. You know. I guess that my

565
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: my my concern on Tasmanian Devil Garfield is you know,

566
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: like I know, I know that louning tunes are not

567
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: a documentary, but I feel like the Tasmanian Devil and

568
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Looning Tunes is very active and it's not particularly lazy.

569
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: So I guess that my concern on Tasmanian Devil felt

570
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: would be like, is he lazy? Is he capable of

571
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: sleeping in a box? Forets a day. Um, you know,

572
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: that's that. I think that that's that's my I would

573
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: like to like put forward to the group. The modern

574
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: day drawing of Garfield definitely also stores fat in his tail,

575
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: so that's that's that's true. That is another comparison. They

576
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily hibernate seasonally, but they do um during the

577
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: day have sort of a mini ibernation called torpore where

578
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: they just sort of go into a mega sleep where

579
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: they conserve their energy. One that's adorable to Oh thank god,

580
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna have to disqualify them. But they are

581
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: very active at night and at dusk and down, which

582
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: is called being cripuscular. So they're they're a mixture between

583
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: being c puscular and nocturnal. So I think we don't

584
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: but we don't see Garfield like we do see sometimes

585
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: the comics where we see Garfield at night are sort

586
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 1: of more I think demonic. Yeah, just a similar thought.

587
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that John has toxoplasmosis from Garfield? Absolutely? Definitely.

588
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: Toxoplasmosis is the when you're infected by T. Gandhai, which

589
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: is a small um micro organism that lives in cat poop. Basically,

590
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: it can infect rats it in their brain and infect

591
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: them so that they are no longer afraid of cats,

592
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: and so the rats will get eaten by the cats.

593
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: The toxoplasm Magondhia then completes its mating cycle inside of

594
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: the cat gut and then gets pooped out and then humans.

595
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: If you handle cat poop um gross. Also you can

596
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: get toxoplasmosis, which generally, unless you're pregnant, doesn't have too

597
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: too many symptoms, but there is a theory that it

598
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: could make you horny for cats or something. I'm not sure.

599
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that does make sense that Garfield would be

600
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: riddled with parasites. I buy that. Yeah, yes, yeah, it

601
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: explains the cat people phenomenon. So how many how many

602
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: garths Hannah, Yeah, it has many? Devil should get I

603
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: think the crepuscular thing is the one hitch in bonnet.

604
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: That's not a phrase. It sounds like a phrase Jim

605
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: Davis would use, but it's not a phrase real. It's

606
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: something John would say, A real hitch in my bonnet. Yeah,

607
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: I pry the Tasmanian devil Garfield off of his face.

608
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: Bout that and that is definitely the first and last

609
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: Tasmanian Devil Feld stripped would just be ge John opening

610
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: the box and being like, welcome to your new hope.

611
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: Next strip attached to face following strip, John is a

612
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: skeleton and Tasmanian Devil ad um right yep rips his

613
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: whole entire face off. Maybe not quite Garfield material, like,

614
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't think this, I don't think I think this

615
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: could be a Garfield substitute, like sub in for a

616
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: few strips, but maybe not in the long run. Definitely

617
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: a contender, though, although although the Tasmanian Devil would be

618
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: up early in the morning without coffee, which is not

619
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: a Garfield trait, everything else seems to be fairly on point.

620
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna give five guards five Garfield.

621
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: This is a very on point. This is like gritty

622
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: reboot Garfield, and I'm gonna agree with that. I think

623
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: five gars Is. I think that's an accurate number for this.

624
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: This is like gar Field being played by Bruce Willis. Yes,

625
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: just really get very much into the spirit of Garfield.

626
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Our next contender is the reticulated Python. So the reticulated

627
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: Python is the world's longest snake. It grows up to

628
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: twenty feet which is about six and a half meters

629
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: and weighs up to a hundred and sixty pounds. They

630
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: are found all over South Asia, and pythons are a

631
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: family of non venomous snakes who throttle their prey and

632
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: swallow them whole. The reticulated python is called what it's

633
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: called because they have these little squares of pigment that

634
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: almost looked like pixels, like you printed this python with

635
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: sort of a pixelated coloration, And they are quite gorgeous animals.

636
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: They have these stripes and patterns, and they can also

637
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: be bred to have more unusual holo morphs, including being orange.

638
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna put it out there. We could

639
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: get a Garfield branded reticulated python for sure, with the

640
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: characteristic orange and black stripes. I would say, I do

641
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: have to be honest. Unfortunately, reticulated pythons do kill people occasionally.

642
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: There are only a few recorded cases of people being

643
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: eaten by reticulated pythons. So, you know, John maybe okay

644
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: if he keeps snake Field fed, but reticulated pythons would

645
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: have no trouble eating an entire pan of lasagna in

646
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: one bite. They can eat entire pigs small deer alligators.

647
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: They can eat prey that weighs as much as they do,

648
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: if not more. Their jaws just can completely open wide

649
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: enough to swallow a human being if they want, which

650
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: they have occasionally done. Uh. And another interesting sort of

651
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: to me garf like aspect is that they can go

652
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: weeks between feeding, just lazing around and digesting, and a

653
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: particularly large meal can actually last them several months at

654
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: a time, So they could eat john and then chill

655
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: out for like several months, which I feel like, it's

656
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: very garden It's it's this one's got a few things

657
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: going for it. It's got the garfield could be orange,

658
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: orange and striping. In fact, I've included a few images

659
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: of these are domesticated ones are not domesticated really just

660
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: pet ones. There's no way that they have not been domesticated.

661
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: They would still eat you if they got the chance.

662
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: They are really beautiful sort of orange with dark brown

663
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: and black stripes and patterns. Other than looks, they also

664
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: just like their ability to eat and to be lazy

665
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: is very garf esque. Yeah, I do think that. Um,

666
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, as we talked about earlier with um, you know, uh,

667
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: the unfortunate passing of lineman. Garfield has taken a life before,

668
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: so you know, so the python so snake Feld, you know,

669
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: having no problem taking a life. I don't think is

670
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: a deal breaker when thinking of a new Garfield. You know,

671
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: you do want somebody who's you know, cold blooded, has

672
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: like a you know, a thirst for blood that Garfield has.

673
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: Smells through his tongue. Y smells through his tongue like Garfield,

674
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: Like we all know Garfield, does you know? I think

675
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: that he can unhinge his jaw and eat a lot

676
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: of lasagna. That's the really good thing going for him,

677
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: that they can have orange coloration. I think that that's um,

678
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: that's a really great candidate for a future Garfield. I

679
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: guess that like he the way that he eats, is

680
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: it possible? Does he have to strangle era? Does he

681
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: have to strangle every bit of prey? Or if he

682
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: just saw play of lasagna, would he try to like

683
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: wrap around it and coil around it first before eating it,

684
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: or would he just go for it and eat that lasagna?

685
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: That's a good question. The purpose of the strangulation is

686
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: to get the prey to stop moving and sicking around

687
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: so it can engulf the prey. And eat it. So

688
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel like with the lasagna, as long as snake

689
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: field understands the lasagna is not going to move or

690
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: resist being eaten, I don't think it would necessarily need

691
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: that would be overkill to sort of strangle it. Only

692
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: one question, where's its butt? Well, snakes have what is

693
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: called a cloaca, and that is usually near the end

694
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: of the snake. Now, imagine the evolutionary history of a

695
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: snake is that it was essentially like a lizard with legs,

696
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: and then it got longer and lost its legs. So

697
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: a lizard's kloeca is right near it's like, right at

698
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: the base of its tail, and so snakes khloec is

699
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: also right at the base of its tail. It's just

700
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 1: its tail looks a lot like just more snake. So

701
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: it's actually does have a tail in addition to the

702
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: rest of its body. To you, it's just it's hard

703
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: to tell the difference between it's it's caudal vertebrae and

704
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: and region and just the rest of it. Okay, Well,

705
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: given that, um, I'm gonna say this is a pretty

706
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: good contender as well in terms of mentality, I'm not

707
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: now hang on, hon, I do want to back up

708
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: because I do want to know why you needed to

709
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: know where it's but is in order to rate it

710
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: on the guard scales, And I feel like I feel

711
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: like Garfield's butt location is a very important factor when

712
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: trying to figure out the new Garfield. Garfield is maybe

713
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: not a maybe not purely a cat, but in his

714
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: quest to upset and discuss John in every way possible,

715
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: he would probably do that cat thing right, putting the

716
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: butt in the face. That's a that's a very good point.

717
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: And yes, a snake could could in theory do that,

718
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: and it's at the base of his tail, just like

719
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: Garfield's presumably, so that that's that's a. That's a good sign. Um.

720
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: I made this up because I'm just very but I

721
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: just wanted to know one thing. Snakes very rarely. They

722
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: don't typically pass gas, but they can, and when it happens,

723
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: it's very funny. I just thought you should know that.

724
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: That's good to know. I don't know if I've ever

725
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: seen a script where Garfield does, but yeah, I don't.

726
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: I think that that Jim Davis really doesn't like going

727
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: into the far territory, which I think is a shame.

728
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's he's fine to go into the dog

729
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,959
Speaker 1: cub territory though. It's right, he's okay with like there

730
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: being a jar of dog gam meats liquid dog gam

731
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: meets that Johnny drinks slips right down. But you know,

732
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: Garfield farting is I'm sorry. I feel like I brought

733
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: us down to no. No, it's worth it's worth examining.

734
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, I think that Jim Davis,

735
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: I think that he's he is very inconsistent in what

736
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: he thinks is appropriate for Garfield and not appropriate for Garfield.

737
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: And I think that that's, you know, I think that

738
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: that's a worthy conversation to have. I mean, if you

739
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: get into like the you know, extended Pausing universe with

740
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: pet Force and all of that, there's there's a lot

741
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: more room for a lot of stuff. If you get

742
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: into Garfield and Friends, there are actually a lot of

743
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: adult jokes there, so and and a lot of I

744
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: don't remember if there were farts, but I'm going to

745
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: guess there were farts, right, I remember Garfield and Friends

746
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: where Garfield just has a big set of honkers. Yeah,

747
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: we all remember that episode. Yeah that was a good one. Yeah,

748
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: classic classic episode. So how many garths would you give

749
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: the reticulated Python. I'm I'm sort of torn because I

750
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: still feel like attitude wise, maybe not perfect. But I

751
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: felt the same way about the Tasmanian Devil. So I'm

752
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: going to give another five five garls. That's solid. Yeah,

753
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: I agree with the five garths number. I think I

754
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: guess that. My concern is that I hope that he

755
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: doesn't put too much effort into eating lasagna. You know,

756
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: I'd be concerned if we cast him as Garfield and

757
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: he felt the need to strangle of lasagna every time

758
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: at a certain point, because like, Garfield is not gonna

759
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: put that much work into every lasagna. He's just gonna

760
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: put his hands in and go gobble, gobble. So you

761
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: know when you give a snake like one of those

762
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: frozen mouse embryos, they just gobble them. Yeah, I think

763
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: they know. I think they learned. They know that if

764
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: it's not moving, there's not really a need. You can

765
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: just get put that right there. So I heard agree,

766
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: five garfs. I think that's I think that's the right

767
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: the right number for this folid. Not everyone is a

768
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: fan of Garfield. There was a two thousand and six

769
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: scathing opinion piece published in the Journal of American Academy

770
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: of Pediatrics called Sleeping with the Enemy. Garfield and the

771
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute apparently the National Center

772
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: for Sleep Disorders Research of the National Heart, Lung and

773
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: Blood Institute ran a sleep Well, Do Well Star sleeper

774
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: campaign featuring Garfield as the spokescat based on his renowned

775
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: ability to nap, but the author of the takedown slammed

776
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: Garfield for his unhealthy eating habits, writing quote, Garfield is

777
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: a poster child for cardigo vascular risk. Although I have

778
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: no knowledge of his family history, he is clearly obese

779
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 1: and sedentary. I shudder to think what his blood pressure

780
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: and lipid profile are given the quality and quantity of

781
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: the diet he consumes. Similarly, if he is not yet

782
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: frankly diabetic, Garfield is certainly at risk of developing type

783
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: two diabetes and may already exhibit impaired glucose tolerance. Sorry, Garfield,

784
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: you're canceled doctor's orders. When we return, we'll talk about

785
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: some animals who look like they're ripping off Garfield's trademark style.

786
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: Garfield is a trademark bright orange. So why did Tiger's

787
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: plagiarize Garfield's look. It seems like a silly choice for

788
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: an ambush predator like a tiger whose best bet is

789
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: to remain camouflage before pouncing and biting down on your

790
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: neck like a tray of lasagna. But it turns out

791
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: those bright orange and black stripes are actually excellent camouflage

792
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: to their preferred prey, deer and bore. These prey animals

793
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: are red green, color blind and struggle to see the

794
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: difference between green and orange. So a tiger's orange striped

795
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: fur is going to blend in very well with green vegetation,

796
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: especially in a lush, shadow streaked forest where tigers live.

797
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: No wonder tigers have risked the wrath of Jim Davis

798
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: and pass Inc To steal that trademarked Garfield orange glow.

799
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: So now I just kind of want to talk about

800
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: like the aesthetics of Garfield and these animals that, even

801
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: if they couldn't be cast as the new Garfield, I

802
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: think that they show that they're at the very least

803
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: Garfield fans with their aesthetic choices. Our first animal is

804
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: the golden pheasant. Now I'm gonna be completely honest with you.

805
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure this animal would be a good Garfield replacement.

806
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: I just admire the fandom that they display, the sort

807
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: of the Garfield they they understand the Garfield brand, the

808
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: Garfield aesthetics. So golden pheasants are sort of like an

809
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: aristocratic version of Garfield, Like you take Garfield and add

810
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: some like diamonds and jewels, you know, deck Garfield out.

811
00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: Golden pheasants are a pheasant native to China's forests and mountains,

812
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: and they are very striking looking. The females are just

813
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: sort of a ashy brown color, so they're not that exciting,

814
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: but the males have the striking orange and black feathers

815
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: sort of like sideburns that are almost like an umbrella

816
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: around its cheeks and that are striped black and orange.

817
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 1: They have orangey red bellies and an orange cape which

818
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: is a fan of feathers on its back that it

819
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: can spread during mating. And I just I just appreciate

820
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: the esthetics of this bird. I feel like this is

821
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: a Garfield fan that uses is Garfield fan boy is

822
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: um to try to impress its mates. Yeah, I think that.

823
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: I think the golden feather and I get what you're

824
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: talking about in that, like his um. There's coloration on

825
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: his feathers that definitely definitely exudes Garfield. It definitely definitely

826
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, it's like a Christmas tree if

827
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: Garf it was a Christmas tree. I'm not sure if

828
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: I would want this animal to be the replacement Garfield

829
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: or the new Garfield because like, you know, like I'm

830
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: not sure necessarily, like how much Lasagna could he couldn't

831
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: kick odief table, how does it feel about Monday's. But

832
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: I do think that, um, the coloration shows that he

833
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: would be a welcome addition to the Garfield universe. You know,

834
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: I think that like, if you look at it, it

835
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: definitely feels like, oh, this is a symbol of the

836
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: Garfield prophecy. This means that Garfield is coming, and that's

837
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: something that Yeah, it's like it's like a Garfield omen.

838
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: So we don't even have to rate this. I think

839
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: I think we should just name this the official Garfield omen. So.

840
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: You know how if you have a bunch of crows,

841
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: that's an omen I guess of the devil or something.

842
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: The golden pheasant showing up is an omen of Garfield cometh.

843
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: He approaches You saw Avengers endgame it's like those guys

844
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: that came in advance of Thanos, and like we're like

845
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: Thanos is coming. It's like this feels like this bird

846
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: is that for Garfield, the Harold Harold of Garfield. And

847
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: he's like, bring out your lasagna, I and tremble and

848
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: I do our next candidate. Now that's what I think

849
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: could actually potentially pull off being Garfield. This is the

850
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: milkweed tiger moth caterpillar. So adult milkweed tiger moths are

851
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: sort of plain looking moths with brown wings, but if

852
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: you look closely, you can see a bit of orange

853
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: and black stripes on their abdomen, which is a faint

854
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: memory of the glorious Garfie caterpillar they once were. So

855
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: these moths and their larval stages, the caterpillars are found

856
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: all over North America, just like Garfield. Caterpillars are the

857
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: larval forms of moths and butterflies, and they have one

858
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: mission to get thick by eating as much as possible,

859
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: so they eat neat neat. We did read that important

860
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: seminal novel as children, The Hungry Hungry caterpillar very accurate.

861
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: Caterpillars exist to eat as much as they can, so

862
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: that they collect as much nutrients to fuel their metamorphosis

863
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: into adults. The milk weed tiger moth caterpillar has fuzzy

864
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: black and orange stripes just like Garfield. So I think

865
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: this is a real good like they've got this, they

866
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: have the look, they have the Garf look. Another cool

867
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: thing which I do think is similar to Garfield is

868
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: they have toxins that they've acquired from plants that they

869
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: can use to cause heart problems in predators if they

870
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: attempt to ingest them, just like Garfield does. Yes, m

871
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: M makes a lot of sense. That is very true

872
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: of Garfield. Yeah, I do. Yeah, I love the cardiac

873
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: toxin that Garfield has and exudes, and that I mean,

874
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: that's one reason that John is always so stressed looking

875
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: is he is just getting a lot of art palpitations

876
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: just by being around Garfield and trying to eat him.

877
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: John may try to kiss him, but then he gets

878
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: some of that that cardiac talks in on his lips,

879
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: and that's just one of many Garfield's tools of torment.

880
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: Caterpillars in general, I think are very Garfield like because

881
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: of how voracious they are. And so I think the

882
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: milk weed tiger moth caterpillar is perhaps the one that

883
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 1: looks the looks the most like Garfield. But the monarch

884
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: butterflies caterpillars are so voracious even though they don't look

885
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: that much like Garfield. I think they encapsulate the spirit.

886
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: More so, they um eat two hundred times their birth

887
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: weight within two weeks, according to Texas Butterfly Ranch quote.

888
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: Imagine a seven pound newborn child consuming one thousand, four

889
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: hundred pounds of formula and a two week period. Does

890
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: sound like Garfield? Yeah? That does sound like gar Field.

891
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: Did they ever do a baby Garfield? Was there like

892
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: a Garfield baby? Only in my dreams? Um? Yeah, you know.

893
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean originally when you showed me this, when you

894
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: showed me a milkweed tiger moth caterpillar, my initial impression

895
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: was that ain't Garf. But now that you've described it

896
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: to me in a specially using terms of the hungry,

897
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: hungry caterpillar, I'm honestly very on board for a milkweak

898
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: tiger moth. Felt. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna go with five

899
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: Garves on this. Five gurps. That's solid. What about you, Hannah?

900
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with stunt double nice. This could be

901
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: a stand in for Garfield, right, um indistinguishable? Right when

902
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: when like they need to do another take of Garfield

903
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: eating lasagna, but Garfield's already eaten five hundred pans of

904
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: lasagna and he simply can't eat anymore. You get the

905
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: stunt Field in who can continue to eat take after

906
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: take more and more lasagna. But first, first, you take

907
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: that the Garfield that could only eat five pans of lasagna,

908
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: and you fire him, and you say Garfield is supposed

909
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: to eat infinite lasagna, and the line get out of here.

910
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,479
Speaker 1: I gotta send that gar Field out to past. Oh God,

911
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: is that White John's parents own a farm? Is that

912
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: like all the all the old Garfields, us AC is

913
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: built on the bones of all of the dead Garfields,

914
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: of forty dead Garfields. They check them into a juicer

915
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: and that's where we get orange juice. Oh, I mean,

916
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: I do love orange juice. That makes a lot of sense.

917
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: Our last candidate to replace Garfield is the Krrion Beetle. Now,

918
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm actually quite fond of this, and I want you

919
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: to hear it out, because not only are Karen Beetles

920
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: got the look of Garfield, I think I don't know.

921
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: They're they're almost more friendly friendly version of Field if

922
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: you really think about it. Hear me out. So, there

923
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: are many species of carrion beetle, but the one I

924
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: want to focus on is called Nicrophorus vespilo, which has

925
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: orange and black stripes in sort of a cartoonish squiggle

926
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: that looks like the characteristic squiggly pin strokes of Garfield

927
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: the cartons. So I think they already have the whole

928
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: Garfield mood just drawn on their shell. It's a fun

929
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: and festive look for a car in beetle. And I

930
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: guess the only downside to the carrion beetle is maybe

931
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: they're too good of an animal to be Garfield. I

932
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: gotta say they're they're sweet, kind, wonderful undertakers of the

933
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: animal kingdom. They eat dead bodies. This is true. I

934
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: think this is a good thing, much like Garfield. But

935
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: the difference is they don't generally kill the dead carrion

936
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 1: before they eat it. It's it's scavenging. These dead carry

937
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: and so one thing they do is they will come

938
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: across like something like a dead mouse or something, and

939
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: then they will bury the body underground, create a din.

940
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: Usually sort of using the fur of the of the

941
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,919
Speaker 1: dead animal to line their dinner, and they will lay

942
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: their eggs, and when their eggs hatch, their larva can

943
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: feed on the carcass, and both mom and dad will

944
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: stay with the young and feed them. They will eat

945
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: up little bits of the carrion, and the adults also

946
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,919
Speaker 1: eat maggots, So if you're grossed out by maggots, these

947
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: adults will eat the maggots of other species of of

948
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: insects and use them to feed their own cute little maggots.

949
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: Another thing is that they are helpful in solving murder cases,

950
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: so carrion beetles are useful for forensic entomologists. Forensic entomologists

951
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: are people who study the different stages that in sect

952
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: maybe at in their development in order to help determine

953
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: the time a daver has been dead. So you're like, oh,

954
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: I recognize how old this beetle grub is, so I

955
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: know that this body has been dead for like a

956
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,959
Speaker 1: week or something. And so again, these garf beetles help

957
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: solve crime, which I think is great. Another cool carrying

958
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: beetle fact is that some species of carrying beetles have

959
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: noxious but secretions that they can use to ward off predators,

960
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: which I think would be in a real fun addition

961
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: to sort of the garf. The Garfield franchise would be

962
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: like Garfield excretes a plume of noxious fluid and John

963
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, makes that eek face that he makes and

964
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: like passes out, and as the readers were all like, oh, Garfield,

965
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: your evolutionary defense mechanism is so fun. Now that you

966
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: bring that up, I kind of can't picture a Garfield

967
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: without that. Um, you know, I feel like, yeah, I

968
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: feel like having noxious but fumes is definitely you know,

969
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: that just screams Garfield to me. I feel like this

970
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: is the pet John was trying to get, Like he

971
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: he's just like he went to the pet store and

972
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: forgot what forgot the word for beatle. Yeah, this is

973
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: what he thought he was buying. Yes, Um, it's way

974
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 1: too helpful to be Garfield. Yeah, I guess that. That's

975
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: My main takeaway is like Garfield ain't no snitch, you know. Yeah.

976
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Not only that, this this beetle could be Garfield's downfall. Yeah,

977
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: like if this if this beetle found Lineman, Garfield would

978
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: be done. Yeah, this beetle would help solve the murder

979
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: of Lineman. I think this is like, this is sort

980
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: of the Flanders to Garfield, you know what I mean.

981
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Flanders in the Simpsons was created to be a direct

982
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: um opposite of Homer, you know, in every way personality

983
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: and physique, And this beetle is, while it has the

984
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Q orange and black stripes of Garfield, it is such

985
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: a better creature than Garfield. It probably would be kind

986
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: to Normal the kitten. It would feed Normal, it would,

987
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, only and like if Normal was killed, then

988
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: it would discreetly bury Normal's body in a very respectful

989
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: way and then use Normal's body to raise it's young,

990
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: which I think is beautiful. Could I picture a world

991
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: where Garfield is a Carrion Beetle? Yes? Do I want

992
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: to live in that world? No? Yeah? And also if

993
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: if the carrion Beetle is the Flanders to Garfield, then

994
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: who is Normal standing for capitalism? I was gonna say Bart,

995
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: but no, it's not rascally enough to be Bart, Like

996
01:01:53,360 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Normal is okay, So if Flanders is is Homer's opposite, um,

997
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: I feel like Normal is Krusty the clown, and that

998
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: he is Homer at his ideal um or Garfield is

999
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: an ideal. Yes, like it's that was actually um when

1000
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: The Simpsons was theoretically only going to go for one season,

1001
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: they were going to end the season by revealing that

1002
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Homer is crusty, and it's just like that's why the

1003
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: characters like ours design so similarly, looks so similarly. They

1004
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: just thought it would be a fun twist if like

1005
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Bart's hero was his dad, and like Bart didn't even

1006
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: know it. So I think that, you know, I think

1007
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: that that's you know, this carrying beatle is. I think

1008
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: the ideal of what John wants Garfield to be helpful

1009
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: considerate noxious butt fumes gets rid of dead bodies much

1010
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: more effectively than Yeah, yeah, you gotta take the bodies

1011
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: into lasagna first to get Garfield to eat him, which

1012
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: is just too many steps, right. I mean Garfield just

1013
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: left Lyman's whole skeleton in the basement. That's real easy

1014
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: for the cops to find. And I mean there's like

1015
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: a door down Aaron, it's just like chained to a wall.

1016
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: It's like not hard, right. I mean, I love that

1017
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: carrying beetles could be on both sides of the law,

1018
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Like you want to get rid of a body, like

1019
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: the carrying beetle can help you, but like you want

1020
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: to solve them murder, the carrying beetle can help you.

1021
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: It just it depends on what you can do for

1022
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: the carrying beetle. It's a double edged beetle. Yeah, it's

1023
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: it's just the duality of man, really, the duality of

1024
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: carrying beetles. Yeah so maybe not so, maybe this wouldn't

1025
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: be Garfield. This is a good Garfield uh duter agonist

1026
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: or anti I don't know what are or like a

1027
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: parallel universe where John gets a good pet into the

1028
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: garf verse. This is like the Miles morales of Garfields,

1029
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: like a kinder, better version of Garfield. I also want

1030
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: to see an entire Garfield series. That's just the alternate

1031
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: universe where he got a good pet. It's just like

1032
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: a very normal and very normal sweetcat. He's in just

1033
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship with a him and that he didn't

1034
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,959
Speaker 1: badger at her work. He's a functional adult whose life

1035
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: doesn't revolve entirely around his cat. I take that back.

1036
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: There are plenty of functional adults whose entire lives revolved

1037
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: around their cats. It's okay, so what what what are

1038
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: we going? Let's make a judgment, who Who's Who's your Garfield?

1039
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Pick a Garfield? You don't You guys don't have to

1040
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: pick the same Garfield, but you gotta pick a Garfield.

1041
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Don't think too hard, just like, let it be your

1042
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: gut reaction, like who is garl like think like just

1043
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: like who's Garfield? And let it come out pelicanel Okay,

1044
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: we got Palcaniel. I was actually also going to say Palconio.

1045
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the Palconio did it is It's the

1046
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: closest to what I think Jim davis Is original intent

1047
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: for Garfield is is a giant sea snake with a

1048
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: huge mouth that looks terrifying. So so Garfield, Garfield. We've

1049
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: done it. We did we great, We recast Garfield, and

1050
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some really fun I think new fresh

1051
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: comics from it. I think I love how we've been

1052
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: so in sync throughout this whole thing. I mean, I

1053
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: expect nothing less of the three Garf sketiers. But yes, yeah,

1054
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I think we've I think we did it. I think

1055
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: this was a really good brainstorming session, and now we

1056
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: just gotta kick start it and make our own series

1057
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: of Garfield. Step aside, Jim Davis we've got the new

1058
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Garfield and he's an Yo. Well, thank you guys so

1059
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: much for joining me today. This was so fun. This

1060
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: is like my dream to talk to my fellow Garfield philosophers.

1061
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say philosophers doctors of philosophy of Garfield on

1062
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: the show. Let's have you guys plug your stuff. So Hannah,

1063
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: let's start with you. I currently working on things that

1064
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: are not out. Um, but my Twitter handle is at
