1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Are you ready for.

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 2: This One's guy, I am having a great day. I'm

3
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 2: ready for this one.

4
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite titles. Okay, here is

5
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a turtle that pees through its mouth.

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a banana story. All right, I

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: says your world, Would you.

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Tell your mind?

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 4: Sillian pieces, Bananas, Banana bance.

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: Bananas, Banana ladies and gent and welcome to Bananas. I'm

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: your host, Kurt Brown.

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: Older and I'm Scotti Landis. Welcome to the Bananas Podcast,

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: the silliest podcast there ever was. Today we have such

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: a cool guest. We have an extraordinary guest. This is

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: a young woman who, by the age of nineteen, has

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: already attended seven Space camps, Space cam ad me three times,

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: Robotics Academy, wants she's given Ted talks. She wants to

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: be the first person to step foot on Mars and

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: work fully behind her. Her name is Alyssa Carson.

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Hi, Hi, Alyssa. So you are just for our listeners,

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: you are the youngest aster you will Essentially your plan

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: is to go to Mars, to be the first astronaut

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: on Mars.

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean the ultimate goal would be, you know,

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: to be able to be on one of those missions

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: to Mars. You know, obviously the first would be pretty cool,

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: but sadly, as an Ashtrount, you don't really get to

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: pick and choose which missions you go. So, you know,

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: the first would be pretty cool, but we'll see if

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: that if that actually happens.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: What kind of training do you do as a nineteen

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: year old astronaut?

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean basically, so essentially what I'm doing

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: is almost like building a resume to be able to

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: apply to the ASTONK selection process in the future, because

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: you have to have a college degree and those kinds

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: of things to actually apply. But basically I work with

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: a C and science research group, which basically just means

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: like everyday people contributing to some kind of research. So

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: I've been kind of like start with them and do

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: some research, but all that can eventually be put on

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: a resume or relate to space, because we'll do you know,

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: microgravity flights or space suit evaluations or you know, decompression training,

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: water survival, any sort of stuff similar to what astronuts do.

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: And you went to a program called Possum, which is

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a suborbital training program. Yeah, so what does that mean?

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so basically, so the name of the program is

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: Project POSSUM, so not as like the animal. So actually

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: Possum is an acronym which actually stands for a polar

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: suborbital science and the Upper mesosphere, which is basically just

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: a really complicated way of saying that they do science

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: and the upper atmosphere.

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: So basically their main.

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: Research is actually studying this type of cloud in the

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: upper atmosphere. But like I said, we also do other

56
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: research and other cool task with different space of companies

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: or even even just doing physical you know, human factor research.

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So what is what was what's been the

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: most as Scottie said, what's been the most bananas thing

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: you've done in your training?

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean I would definitely say the water survival thing

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: that I did, yeah, just because so basically we were

63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: there for two weeks, so like the first week was

64
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: more like basic water survival, you know, like living in

65
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: life raft and that kind of thing. But then we

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: threw in for the second week, we threw in more

67
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: of like a space site, so we were like swimming

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: in spacesuits, we were pulling ourselves into life cofering spacesuits.

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: We were like just trying to do anything. We had

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: like behind like floaties that would like pop out like

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: almost under the armpit, and that was like our floatation device.

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: So we were testing those and they just really didn't

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: work well. But yeah, we were We had a huge

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: mock up capsule and we were basically testing how you

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: would escape from it if there happened to be elite.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Whoa, So there was like a capsule underwater You're in

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: a spacesuit and they flood it and you have to escape.

78
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: Okay, so not quite like all the way underwater capsule,

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: So like basically the capsule right on the surface of

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: the water, so it'd be almost like if you had

81
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: crash landed back. And then basically we did like a

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: side hatch and a top hatch, so coming out the

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: side of the capsule and we would slide down into

84
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: the water and then swim and then get into the

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: life rap or we would climb out the top and

86
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: we'd have to like basically blay down the entire side

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: of it and then get into a life wrap.

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: That's so cool. You have to I bet you excel

89
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: at escape room. So have you ever done an escape room?

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: Because if not, I'm taking you with me them I

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: really enjoyed that. I had the funniest experience. I've only

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 2: done it once. It's actually not my kind of thing overall.

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: I don't know why, Like I'm not like a big

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: games night guy. And then the escape room is like

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: a fully interactive version of that. But the funniest thing happened.

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: We went with a group of older people. We had

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: all gone out, had a couple of drinks, that sort

98
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: of thing, and at the end we find a hard

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: drive and then you stick the hard drive in this

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: printer and then you have to print like the escape

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: code or whatever. And so we stuck the hard drive

102
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: into the computer into the printer and press print, and

103
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: it said it was out of ink. So then we

104
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: all just started hunting for ink, and we're looking around

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: and then this employee just knocks on the door and

106
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: he's like, I forgot to change the ink. You guys

107
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: won stop looking around for ink, you bozo idiots. But

108
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: it was fantastic. I actually saw some video of you

109
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: getting tipped upside down and blindfolded and then having to

110
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: come out, and that I think for a lot of people,

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: being blindfolded alone is creepy, but then being submerged while

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: buckled and secured upside down and then to escape. It's

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: pretty cool. That training seems pretty fun.

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for that one. You know, in particular, we

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: were mainly focusing on, you know, how do you you know,

116
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: manage being so disoriented underwater because you know, you lose

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: so many senses if you're submerged underwater, and you know,

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: that skill that we are kind of testing was also

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: you know, something you could apply if you know your

120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: car goes underwater and you're buckled in your seatbelt. You know.

121
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: So basically they had us blindfolded, We're buckled into a seat,

122
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: we had a fake window that we had to push

123
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: out and stuff. So it was pretty cool.

124
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. And also from one of your Ted talks,

125
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: this is something I didn't know is that you don't

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: like actually you have to be something first before you

127
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: actually become an astronaut. Yeah, right, Like and what are

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: you planning on like studying, uh and becoming before you

129
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: become an astronaut and then before you become the first

130
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: person on Mars. I'm sticking with that very first person

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: on Mars.

132
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, well I mean totally. I mean it's not

133
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: like you can go to college and major and becoming

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: an astronaut. You know, it's not quite that simple, sadly.

135
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 3: So there's you know, so many different fields you can

136
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: go into, so it's really kind of all about whatever

137
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: your personal interest is. So I'm currently studying astrobiology. So

138
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: basically what that means is like almost kind of like

139
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: anything living in space, but also kind of almost practically

140
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: anything in space because you know, with astrobiology you can

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: study from bacterias to plants to entire solar systems if

142
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: you really want to, So you just kind of have

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: a huge variety of stuff you're able to study.

144
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Very cool. And also, obviously for is the plan once

145
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: you're in Mars, you'd have to grow all your own

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: food and everything.

147
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: Correct, Well, I mean.

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: Definitely we're gonna going to have to kind of rely

149
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: on growing food to at least an extent. You know,

150
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: we'll probably bring some food with this as well, but

151
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to grow most of it. So that

152
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: is going to be a huge part of what we do.

153
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so cool.

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: If someone say, like my daughter becomes interested in wanting

155
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: to be an astronaut, you what would you recommend that

156
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: you do? Because I know you can pleaded like NASA's

157
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: Passport program. You're one of the only people who's ever

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: completed the passport program, Is that true?

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, I mean, so a lot of the things

160
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: that I did, like when I was younger and stuff,

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: So like the Passport program was like going and like

162
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: visiting the fourteen NASSA visitor centers like all around the

163
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: country and that kind of thing. But a lot of

164
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: the stuff I did when I was younger was really

165
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: just kind of helping me learn about space, learn about

166
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: the opportunities in space what I could do, and then

167
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: kind of you know, taking that knowledge and figuring out,

168
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: you know, what kind of career I would.

169
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: To go into.

170
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: Look a astronaut I would want to be, So that

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: was kind of super helpful. But I mean in terms

172
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: of like other people, you know, wanting to get into

173
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: becoming a national and that kind of thing, it's kind

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: of just all about like starting and figuring out what

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: you're interested in. Because if you're looking at becoming an astroid,

176
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: you know, you can go into the military, you can

177
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: take more of a civilian route. You can study science

178
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: or become a pilot, or study medicine or you know,

179
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 3: there's just so many different options, so you kind of

180
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 3: have to play around a little bit to figure out,

181
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: you know, what kind of career you would want to be.

182
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: You can you have to kind of I put astronaut

183
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: kind of in the back of your mind because you

184
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,119
Speaker 3: have to pursue some other career.

185
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: First, right of course. Well, I'm so excited that you're

186
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: here and that you're gonna be the first person on Mars.

187
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear about this turtle that pisses

188
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: through its mouth?

189
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

190
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: So the title that I read, Here's a turtle that

191
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: peeks through its mouth is from Grist. This was sent in,

192
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: by the way, from a listener, Lieutenant Dan ice Cream.

193
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: This is the second time Dan ice Cream has gotten

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: a story on the podcast. Yeah, but I I wanted

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: to go because I don't I don't recognize Grist. So

196
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I went and looked it up and here's an article,

197
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: the original articles from Discover magazine. Legit, Legit, and the

198
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: title is this Chinese turtle urinates through its mouth and

199
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: it is I will read. This is from Discover is

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: written by by ed Young. Thank you Eddie. So this

201
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: the Chinese soft shell turtle looks like someone the snout

202
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: of a pig under the face of a fish with

203
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: the texture of a scrotum for good measure, And that

204
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: is the best first sentence of any science article I've

205
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: ever read. But its bizarre appearance pales in comparison to

206
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: an even more bizarre and newly discovered habit. It expels

207
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: waste through its mouth. So yes, So basically the way

208
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: this turtle does it is, you know, when it breaks

209
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: down waste in its blood through the liver, it ends

210
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: up into an abundance of nitrogen, which obviously it expels

211
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: from its body in the form of urea. But it

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have kidneys, so instead it has gills in its

213
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: cheeks and it just flushes water in and out and

214
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: expels the urea through its mouth, so the gills and

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: it actually cleans the blood twenty five to thirty times faster,

216
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: fifteen to fifty times faster than kidneys would, which is fastating.

217
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: It's a really great turtle that pisses through its mouth

218
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: and it's very efficient.

219
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: That's a.

220
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: Questions.

221
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have you know, thinking fun to like bring

222
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: that to like microgravity and just see like you know,

223
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: like just pain through its mouth and the he just

224
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: like floating away from it, like I wonder if I

225
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: would like propel it, or.

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: This is maybe this is maybe a new engine idea

227
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: for NASA.

228
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: I know not it seems like a crazy thing where

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: it's like they if you've witnessed a Oh so Kurt

230
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: and I almost We did a TV pilot years ago

231
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: where we were trying to figure out like it was

232
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: called a Bigger, Dumber, Faster, and of course it didn't

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: get made, but one of the ideas we were going

234
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: to do was we wanted to jumpstart evolution, so we

235
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: were going to take a crocodile on that zero G

236
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: plane that goes up and down then and then you float.

237
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: With the idea that we were going to take a

238
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: dinosaur into space and it was just gonna be Kurt

239
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: floating through the air. And then one of our producers

240
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: was like, well, what if it regurgitates barfs all over you?

241
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: And we were like, that would be the dream scenario.

242
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: And I think this turtle is going to lead the

243
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: way this is.

244
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: And we we had we like literally had a producer

245
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: like budget it out and we found out that that

246
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: zero G plane costs a ton of money and they

247
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't let us bring an alligator in it shocking.

248
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: Well, with the zero G planes, what you have to

249
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 3: do is you have to put like some you know,

250
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: come up with some kind of experiment where it's like

251
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: you say, and then NASA proves it and then it's free.

252
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: Oh done it that way?

253
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: Oh?

254
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I wish we had known that we needed you back then. Instead,

255
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: what our idea was we wanted to bring a flightless

256
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: bird and give them the gift of flight. So we

257
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: wanted to bring a penguin on a blimp, but we

258
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: couldn't get a penguin or a blimp, so we brought

259
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: a chicken on a hot air balloon, which snowflake at

260
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: some point.

261
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: It was pretty great. So have you done a micro well,

262
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: have you ever done microgravity? Have you done one of

263
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: these float around zero G things?

264
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: I've seen a video of her micro gravity. Oh yeah,

265
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: yeah I have.

266
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: The one that I did was up in Canada, so

267
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 3: it wasn't like zero G like the company here in

268
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: the US that's like most popular for doing it, and

269
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: ours was a little different because if you look at

270
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: like the zero G planes, like it's hollowed out basically

271
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: with padding and stuff. Yeah, ours was like patch full

272
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: of like equipment and research and like seats and all

273
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: sorts of other stuff. So we weren't like quiet as

274
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: jan quite have the luxury of just kind of like

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: floating around and having a good time. But it was

276
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: still super super cool.

277
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the experiment you were doing was on like

278
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: a new type of space suit. Yeah.

279
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: So basically the idea was, so the spacer company that

280
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: we primarily work with is final into your spacesuit design,

281
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: and basically the goal was it was the first time

282
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 3: that we had the suit pressure eye so completely close

283
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: with its own oxygen flow and everything. And basically the

284
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: test was seeing how well you would be able to

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: maneuver in the suit in micro gravity. So each bablo

286
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: we had a different task. So you know, my job

287
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: at that time was really just like making sure he

288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: was okay, because if he were to vomit in the suit,

289
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: then it would just be a really bad day. So

290
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: hell when he was lying that he was okay and stuff.

291
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: But basically, you know, each each flight, each flight, you know,

292
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: he had to try to buckle a seatbelt or work

293
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: on a busy board, and you know, we were just

294
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: seeing how well the suit works in micro gravity.

295
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, And then you also designed your own luggage

296
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: for space, Is that correct?

297
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? So I did. I well, I guess me myself

298
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: and I know we it was kind of like a

299
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: little bit of a partnership with the with the luggage

300
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: company called Horizon Horizon Studios and they're kind of over

301
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: in Germany. But basically the idea was because it was

302
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: more of like a conceptual thing that you know what

303
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: eventually come to life in the future, but kind of

304
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: the idea was making luggage for space tourism. So since

305
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: space tourism is coming about, you know eventually where when

306
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: people want to go to space, they're gonna they're gonna

307
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: want to bring their belongings, and we can't have you know,

308
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: just everyday luggage just chilling floating around. So the idea

309
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: was trying to make something that would be functional for

310
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: space but also look really cool.

311
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Nice Scott, you got another one for me?

312
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: By I do? I Actually I did some research this morning,

313
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: so I have some a lists of specific news stories.

314
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: So your call sign is Blueberry, correct, Yes, And we

315
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: don't show the video of this podcast. Uh, this is

316
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: just an audio podcast. But Alyssa is wearing a flight

317
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: suit right now that is blue is that where it

318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: comes from because you were very small compared to everybody

319
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: else and wearing a blue flight suit.

320
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean kind of the story behind blueberries. Basically,

321
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: the second time I went to space Camp when I

322
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: was when I was younger, I wanted one of like

323
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: the blue flight suits that everyone was wearing because I

324
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: wanted to an astronaut, so I want to look like

325
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was actually too small to fit in

326
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: any of them. So what my dad end up doing

327
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: was basically finding like this knockoff one or just like

328
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: just not like what everyone else had. But basically it

329
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: was just a really dark, dark sheet of blue and

330
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: just not really the right color, just off. So everyone

331
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: told me it made me look like a blueberry because

332
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: of how dark the color was, and so you know,

333
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: for the rest of the time at that camp, they

334
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: would just say, you know, blueberry, can you do this

335
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: whatever it might be, And then you know, I was like, okay,

336
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: you know whatever, came back the next year to space

337
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: Camp and they were like, oh, it's blueberry, and I'm like, okay,

338
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: it's continuing. Yeah, Eventually I just kinda just stop wanting

339
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: to fight it and just roll with it.

340
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. I gotta say it's a good one.

341
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: That's uh, Kurt, who would you be? What would your

342
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: call so? What would your call sign be? Oh?

343
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: Tiny giraffe, Tiny giraffe, that's pretty good.

344
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 2: You want to fly. If you're looking right and something's

345
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: going wrong, you want tiny giraffe right there.

346
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: But what would you be, Scottie?

347
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: Oh? Probably like uh like, how about camo meal? Because

348
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: if things go bad, I'm just going to pretend to

349
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: be asleep the entire time.

350
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: You are.

351
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: You actually are very calming. You would be good to

352
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: have on a space. Yeah, yeah, Scott.

353
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: Okay. So there's the headline, wolves eat blueberries. That's the title.

354
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: This is from citypages dot com, written by our absolute

355
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: favorite Hannah Jones. And I'm just Hannah nailed this one.

356
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 2: And this was from two day Everyone. We have an

357
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: important announcement to make wolves like blueberries. It's true. Some

358
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: field biologists in Northern Minnesota's Greater Voyagers ecosystem caught them

359
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: on film. So there is a video of this. I

360
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: watched it. It's thrilling. These wolves are hog wild about

361
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: these little blue boys. Weird sentence. Scientists have known that

362
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: wolves love berries since twenty fifteen. You would have thought

363
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: this was longer, but no. But this is the first

364
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: time they've ever gotten video evidence. That's all thanks to

365
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: Tom Gable and his colleagues at Voyager's Wolf Project, who

366
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: got this footage while spying on wolves last summer. The

367
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: Wolf Project is a collaboration between Voyagers, National Park never

368
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: heard of it sounds pretty cool, and the University of Minnesota.

369
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 2: So the new footage this actually gets more bananas than

370
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 2: just wolves fighting blueberries. Yeah, I know. So the new

371
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: footage suggests that blueberries might be a more important part

372
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: of their diet than we originally thought, maybe a starvation

373
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: food because blueberries are much lower in calories than a

374
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: hunk of organ meat. Again, crazy sentence. So here's where

375
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: it gets a little weirder. Thanks to the paper, we

376
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: also know that adult wolves will feed blueberries to their pups.

377
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: Whatever you're picturing, it's grosser than that. Think about birds.

378
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 2: According to an incredibly detailed account, a fellow researcher Austin

379
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: Homekeys witness five pumps gathering around an adult wolf licking

380
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: its mouth. After about thirty seconds, the adult wolf begins

381
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: to puke up dinner. The puffs eat the regurgitated food

382
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: directly from the wolf's mouth as the adults slowly walked

383
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: around and the other pups followed behind it. So basically

384
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: at baby birds it these adult wolves are eating blueberries,

385
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: chewing them with grass and then barfing them onto the ground,

386
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: and then all the little baby wolves a little pups

387
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: go wild for it, and then they have footage of it.

388
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: I would recommend you guys can picture it. I'm sure

389
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: and your cars are at home, but guys, wolves love blueberries.

390
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: So you heard it here first.

391
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: What I love about science is how it is built

392
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: by very small pieces of information at a time. Yes,

393
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: that it's just like one big sand castle that's built

394
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: by very small people. Like we finally have video proof

395
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: of wolves eating blueberries, just finally locking in that last

396
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: wolf behavior that we didn't know about.

397
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: And also it's the human assumption where we're projecting, Like

398
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: if I saw wolf barfing blueberries, I would be like,

399
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: wolves hate blueberries. That wolf and a blueberry, and just

400
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: was like not for me.

401
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: They hate their kids.

402
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: And they hate their kids. Here you go. I looked

403
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: up some blueberry facts because I know you guys just

404
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: need to know this. A single blueberry bush can produce

405
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: as many as six thousand blueberries a year, more than

406
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: I thought. The United States is the world's largest producer

407
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 2: of blueberries. In totals, six hundred and ninety pounds were

408
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 2: cultivated and produced, and British Columbia beautiful. We love Canada

409
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: as the largest high bush blueberry growing region in the world.

410
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: I mean, this is big stuff.

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you want to give I guess, listen,

412
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: if you want to give your puppy a treat, I

413
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: think I guess you know what to do. Now, just

414
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: chew up some blueberries and then vomit them onto his mouth.

415
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah that we're not going to do that.

416
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: Suit yourself.

417
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: Suit yourself. It's a real treat.

418
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: Though.

419
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: Did you know about the wolves? The thing that I

420
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: love about wolves. The fact that I found out about

421
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: this is that the researcher who like the whole idea

422
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: of an alpha dog is this like theories, this idea

423
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: that we have in our culture that there's a thing

424
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: that's an alpha dog and we apply it to human

425
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: beings like that guy's an alpha human being or whatever.

426
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Is that it's all fake. It's not real because the

427
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: guy wrote this whole book because he was watching this

428
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: group of wolves together, and he assumed one wolf, the

429
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: one wolf, was kind of doing all these things first

430
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: before the other wolves, and he was like, that's the

431
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: alpha wolf. He wrote this entire book about the alpha wolf,

432
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: and then he went back the next year and found

433
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: out that he was wrong. Oh cool, that it was

434
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: actually just a family structure. It was an extended family structure,

435
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: and that that was the eldest male in the family structure.

436
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: So it was kind of like the dad. So it

437
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: wasn't that there's like this alpha wolf idea. It was

438
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: just more of a family story. So it wasn't a society.

439
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't a society structure. And then he came back

440
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: and wrote another book, being like I was wrong about

441
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: the alpha dog. Guys, but it was like a society

442
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: was like, go fuck yourself, we don't care. We love

443
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: this idea the alpha dog, and we're running with it.

444
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: And now all these things like Caesar Milan basis is

445
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: dog training on it and everything. It's just like it's

446
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: so insane. I love that too. Where it's just like

447
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: even if science like kind of like comes and corrects itself,

448
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: like society at large is like, wow, we don't like

449
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: the correction. We still like this original idea.

450
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: Mmmmm sounds curty. Do we have to take a quick break?

451
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: We do, Okay, Lissa, please don't leave us. We're gonna

452
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: take a quick break and we'll be right back after

453
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: these very cool messages, and we are back. We are

454
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: back with Alyssa Carson future first personal Mars. She doesn't

455
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 2: even have to say it. We're saying it for her

456
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 2: because we believe in her so much.

457
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: Are you ready for one, Alyssa? This is this is

458
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: one that's maybe we'll be close to your Louisiana Hart

459
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: Florida woman fight to keep motorcycle riding pet alligator.

460
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, sounds good to me.

461
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: A Florida woman was fun. We usually stay away from

462
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Florida stories, by the way, but I like that the

463
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: photographs are alone a Florida. Oh this was in Fox

464
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: News again. It's by Fox News. I guess Fox News

465
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: wrote this story. Yeah, a Florida woman was fighting Wednesday

466
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: to keep her six foot long, clothes wearing motorcycle riding

467
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: pet alligator in her home. Thorn has a license for

468
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: the alligator for eleven years, but the gator recently grew

469
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: to six feet Wildlife official Saint Alligator that size must

470
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: have two and a half acres of land. Thorn told

471
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: The Orlando Sentinel that even if she had land available,

472
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: Rambo his name's Rambo, can't be left outdoors because of

473
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: his sensitivity to sunlight. Thorn takes Rambo to schools and

474
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: charity events to teach people about reptiles, and has trained

475
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: him not to bite.

476
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: Quote.

477
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: He loves kids, and when it's come around, he shuts

478
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: his mouth really tight so fingers can't go in his mouth.

479
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: That is the sentence right before Rambo eats a child's hand.

480
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Rambo is a dinosaur. No matter how traded it is,

481
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: it's still a dinosaur.

482
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: But the best part is she is.

483
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: The best part is that this woman has this alligator.

484
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: She dresses it up, in closes, brings it to schools.

485
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: She doesn't have a car, so it rides in a

486
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: car seat like a children's car seat that's mounted on

487
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: the back of her motorcycle. Okay, and it's there's all.

488
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Will put the post these photos to our Instagram page,

489
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: The Bananas Podcast on Instagram.

490
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: It is a it is.

491
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: It's an alligator in a child's car seat on the

492
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: back of the motor. It's like, I don't know how

493
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: far how much else I could say about that, but

494
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: she might actually get grandfathered in. She might be able

495
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: to keep this alligator. Have you see many alligators down

496
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: there in Baton Rouge.

497
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: Rude? Directly, there's not necessarily too many. It's so funny though,

498
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: moving from Louisiana because I now go to college in Florida,

499
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: and like, man, like there there really are like people

500
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 3: just all over the place like this, like it's it's

501
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: so it's so stray.

502
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida has that reputation for a reason.

503
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.

504
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. How long have we been going to school now?

505
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: So I just finished my freshman year at Florida TIX.

506
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: So that was pretty fun. I mean, I obviously I

507
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: had to finish like blast a little bit of it

508
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 3: here at home with online school and all, but for

509
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 3: the most part it was it was a pretty good experience.

510
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Nice. Our people are like fellow students aware that you're

511
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: like a budding astronaut or does he keep it pretty

512
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: low key and it's like, I'm just normal. I'm a normallyssa.

513
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm not mars aalsus. I'm just normal.

514
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 3: It was pretty funny. So I never told anyone anything,

515
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: but everyone likeigured it out eventually. But it was like

516
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: I like I had already become friends with like a

517
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: good bit of people before they had figured out. So

518
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: I mean it was really cool because it was kind

519
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: of like how it was for all my high school

520
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 3: friends that had grown up and known me forever. You know,

521
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: they were just like, wait, so explain real quick, and

522
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: then they were like, oh, okay, moving on, and then

523
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: you know, just continue about whatever, and so you know,

524
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: it's pretty cool. And it's also kind of a good

525
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: judge as to like who's like a close friend or

526
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 3: not to be honest, because like my closer friends can

527
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: like talk about stuff like just as normal, but like

528
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: someone who like hardly knows me and that's all they

529
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: know about me. All they will talk about is like

530
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: space or mention like stuff that I do. And so

531
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, yeah.

532
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: Get it.

533
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: And then also like is it I just shocked that

534
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: you knew from such a young age and that you

535
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: continued to to I didn't even know what I wanted

536
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: to make dren in college until two years in. You

537
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: know what you want to do when you're forty, Yeah,

538
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, like.

539
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: All of the stuff is like big long term goals,

540
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: but I mean obviously it's kind of changed and you

541
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: know along the way. You know, originally I went to

542
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: the astrophysics, but then I got more interested in something else.

543
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: So I mean it is kind of like still the

544
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: same thing, constantly evolving. It's just kind of evolving kind

545
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 3: of around the same generic idea.

546
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so cool, that's pretty awesome.

547
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: What's the craziest thing you've ever seen in Florida when

548
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: you were there?

549
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question. I mean once, like I

550
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: was going into like a CBS or something and this

551
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 3: woman was like just doing like this weird dance around

552
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: the building, and I had no idea what she was doing.

553
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, I just kind of looked at it.

554
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: I turned around, and I've been to a different CBN.

555
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: That sounds about right. You've made the right decision there, absolutely. Oh.

556
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: By the way, that Florida woman fights to keep motorcycle

557
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: riding pet alligator was sent in by Red Hot forty four,

558
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: So thankk you forty four Scott to give me another one.

559
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: I will give you another one. You know what I can.

560
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the choice list, so we

561
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: can do another space related one, or I can just

562
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: go bonkers Florida. Either way, I'm happy to if you're

563
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: sick of talking about it. If you're sick of talking

564
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: about it, we're not going to make you talk about it.

565
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: Now, let's hear more about Florida. I need to know

566
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: what I've gotten myself into.

567
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,040

Speaker 2: week and they start to lose their their's zip. There's zen.

571
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you host a strange news podcast, you have

572
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: to read a lot of strange news.

573
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,680

579
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: hour and a half like southeast of Orlando, So not

580
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: too far.

581
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: You can't get far enough away from Orlando. That should

582
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: be the slogan of Orlando, you can't get far enough away.

583
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: This was written by Bianco Ocassio and this was cent

595
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: by yourself. It's fun with a friend DeLand. Last week,

596
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: according to Valucia County Sheriff's Office, Derek we won't say

597
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: his last name, thirty six had an intimate relationship with

598
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: the fifty year old homeowner in Evergreen Terrace. So this

599
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: guy named John Sylvia broke into the victim's house, took

600
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: a flat screen TV, a vacuum, an air conditioning unit,

601
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: and a heater, and the victim, who was at work,

602
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: called authorities after getting an alert on his phone from

603
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: his home security camera so he sees this guy and

604
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: there's movement inside his home. He calls the cops. U

605
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: but the cameras really smart had been covered with a towel.

606
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, that's planning ahead. When the deputies arrived

607
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: on the scene at seven am, great detail. They stopped

608
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: Irving who and Sylvia, who were trying to flee the

609
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: scene in a red suv. Irving, who was wearing a

610
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: Onesie bull costume with a tail and bullnose on its hood,

611
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: was retrieving some clothes from the residence. He went back

612
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: in and grabbed some clothes, but deputy said there were

613
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: no clothes in the car. Officials went inside the victim's

614
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: home and smelled something burning. The report says. The deputy

615
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: checked the stove and saw spaghetti sauce scorching in a

616
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: large pot. A washcloth resting on the side burner had

617
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: already caught fire. In the passenger seat of the car,

618
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: deputies found an empty jar of ragu sauce, which was

619
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: retrieved from the victim's kitchen cabinet. According to the FI, David.

620
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: The timeout, so he broke in, put ragusauce into a pot,

621
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: turns it up, and then he was like my my

622
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: booby trap is set. Yes, this will spontaneously combust and

623
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: burn this house down. Yeah, it ran out of there.

624
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know at seven am when you go, how

625
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: am I going to make this look like an accident

626
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: with this guy that's already at work. You know, he's

627
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: known for eating huge dishes of lasagna and zed in

628
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: the morning.

629
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: Six fifty or leave it for work, boil it up,

630
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: just a hot play to spaghetti.

631
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, he told us. So this guy says

632
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: he was a victim. The victim said he knew Irving.

633
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: They used to date four months ago, so maybe nasty breakup.

634
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: We don't know all the details of this clearly bizarre

635
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: love triangle, a very Florida love triangle. He and this

636
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: guy says he didn't know if the ex was burglarizing

637
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: the home or giving him a ride home. So basically,

638
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: this guy's like, hey, I'll take you home. He didn't

639
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: realize it was being robbed. There's a lot of question

640
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: marks in this story, but one thing for sure is

641
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: if you're gonna Oh and he got arrested for uh

642
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: in charge with arson, burglary and grand theft and driving

643
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: with a suspended license. So there was really no besides

644
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: the towel over and bringing Ragu with him, there wasn't

645
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: a whole lot of planning for this. Uh. I love

646
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: poorly framed Arson jobs. This might be as long as

647
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: nobody gets hurt and nobody dies, send us the weirdest,

648
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: poorly planned Arsen story.

649
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: She can listen. You got any You got any stories

650
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: that involved pasta or taking revenge your choice, revenge or pasta.

651
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: Well, that's an interesting category to fall story into. I

652
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: think think I might have something like in the Arson category.

653
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: Like I remember, oh, I remember, like I was, I

654
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: was just chilling in my dorm one night and then

655
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: my roommate is freaking out because apparently this kid who

656
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: she went to high school with, he didn't go to

657
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: like our university. I don't know where he was at,

658
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 3: but apparently he like started a fire in the basement

659
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: of a dorm with like five tirks, and just like anyway,

660
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: this huge like explosion or something happened, everyone had to vacate,

661
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 3: and she was like she was just so so She's

662
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: like I knew that kid would do something someday.

663
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: And I would like you can smell them out.

664
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: Here's my question, uh In bat Rouge, are people lighting

665
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: off fireworks every single night, all night long? Because in

666
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: LA and in New York, it's constant everywhere across the country.

667
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: I've just heard people just constantly lighting off fireworks for

668
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: like three months now.

669
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: What I haven't heard like a single firework.

670
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: Guys, goat if you need a break, go to baton Rouge.

671
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 3: Behind the trend, we don't really like understand what's going

672
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 3: on in the world. We're just kind of we'll maybe

673
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: catch up maybe another month or so. People would be like, oh, wait,

674
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: we're supposed to be doing fireworks or something.

675
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: It is very confusing. A lot of people have a

676
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of theories about it.

677
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, did you play with fire when you were

678
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: a kid? You play with like play with matches and

679
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: throw them in light sparklers, And of.

680
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: Course, of course I think every every kid loves fire.

681
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: It's a rite of passage. I found out, go ahead.

682
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: I found out that nail polish remover was extremely flammable.

683
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy flammable. And so I have an older sister

684
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: and this I was probably I don't know, about twelve,

685
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: and so I decided I was going to build a

686
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: hot air balloon in the backyard and I filled up

687
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: a plastic cup and stitched using just thread and needle,

688
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: basically like a plastic bag over a cup, and then

689
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: poured in the acidtne or whatever. It is, lighted on

690
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: fire and it fills, it starts to film, and so

691
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: I was holding it in my hand and I like,

692
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: let go and it was like hovering at about face

693
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: height for I don't know two seconds. Then the plastic,

694
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: the strings and the cup all catch fire. It tilts

695
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 2: and then pours burning nail polisher mover onto my feet

696
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: and I started running around, but because it was coating them,

697
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't getting burned. Except when it finished. It's one

698
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: of those things. All my leg hair was gone. I

699
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot anyways. I was twelve years old.

700
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: But basically I lit a like a floating face height

701
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: Molotov cocktail and then just watches it poured. So that's

702
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: science to me, Alyssa, You're way ahead of the curve.

703
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: For me, it was doing the dumbest thing imaginable.

704
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I finished, I think it was ooh, I

705
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it was calculus. And I came home.

706
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: It was like summer break, and I was like I

707
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: never have to do calculus again. So I put the

708
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: calculus book inside like a coke twelve pack cardboard box

709
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: and poured gasoline all over it, and then didn't know

710
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: that like the fumes of gasoline is what ignites, not

711
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: actually the liquid cool like struck a match right near it,

712
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: and the whole thing just blew up. It was a

713
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: very loud boom.

714
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: Take that Math, Screw you math, Math. I did it

715
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: not this summer?

716
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: Are you ready for another one? Alyssa, I'm ready all right.

717
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: Missouri teens steal what they think is cocaine, end up

718
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: snorting their grandfather's ashes. Oh yeah, this is oh. Was

719
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: sent in by Sarah alegro Thank you, Sarah.

720
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

721
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: This was on up Rocks, written by Ryan Perry. Thanks

722
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: for y Ry.

723
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: You're killing it once again.

724
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: Here's a fun one. A trio of teenagers rummaged through

725
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: a Missouri home when they discovered through Facebook postings that

726
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 1: its owner, Deborah Matthews bet Deborah Matthews, was out of town.

727
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: They came away with nearly three thousand dollars in cash

728
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: in valuables and they thought a fancy box filled with cocaine. Yeah,

729
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: and then here.

730
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: Just a million dollar box of cocaine just sitting in there,

731
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: just th that's the bends of cocaine.

732
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean, like I have my mom's ashes. I have

733
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: half of my mom's ashes. It is a bag that

734
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: is almost the size of my head. So theynd we

735
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: had like two million dollars worth of was cocaine in

736
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: a beautiful box. They thought they were at Woody Allen's

737
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: house in nineteen seventy three in there and so here's

738
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: the best part. It did snort it, uh, and then

739
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: they found out it was ashes. They were very upset.

740
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: But she also says she believes the miners are two

741
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: of her father's grandchildren. Oh except because of the miners,

742
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean they were his grandsons. So they this woman,

743
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: her grand her sons, no, I guess her like cousin

744
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: her like nieces or nephews are the ones who robbed

745
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: her and they snorted Granddad's ashes. Boom goes back to

746
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: my thing from a previous episode, the humans having a

747
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: subconscious desire to eat the ashes of their dead relatives.

748
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm just going off of my comfort

749
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: oh comforting thought.

750
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: Teenagers A All my friends used to steal stuff in

751
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: high school it's crazy, like the boldness, and I think

752
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: that the kids that are like, hey, if you're not eighteen,

753
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: you can't really go to jail on stuff, but you

754
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: can get you know, attacked by dog or shot or

755
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: arrested and thrown into juvie. Like there are things that

756
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: can go very wrong if you're robbing a house. We

757
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: used to play flashlight tag, like just I don't know

758
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: what people call it different regions. We would play tag

759
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: at night without flashlights and you would hide and there'd

760
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: be hundreds of us. I mean our neighborhood. I'd say

761
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: on a given night, there'd be about thirty or forty

762
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 2: people playing the most intense rounds of flashlight tag. And

763
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the street they started building new development,

764
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: so we would go into these unfinished homes and hide

765
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: in them. Sounds cool, except it's pitch black. And then

766
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 2: in some rooms, like where a bathtubs supposed to go

767
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: or a hot tub, you there's just a hole in

768
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: the floor. So I remember running upstairs that had no

769
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: railings in an unfinished house. You know, it's like there's

770
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: not even drywall, it's just completely the framed out house.

771
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 2: And somebody chasing me and then the feeling of free

772
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: fall where I fell from the top floor to the

773
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: basement hit the mud, but I had fallen through three

774
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: floors because I just went right through where a bathtub

775
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: was supposed to go and just fell in the darkness

776
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: and landed flat, knocked the wind out of me. And

777
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: I remember, like we were so young and riled up,

778
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 2: and your drones pumping and you want to look cool

779
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: and all that stuff that I just didn't tell anybody.

780
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: I just kind of did that voice where you're like,

781
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: oh God, and I just gurgled my way out of

782
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: a dark, unfinished basement because it felt exciting, and that's

783
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 2: what bored suburban kids do. Oh yeah.

784
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Do you do you have anybody in your uh in

785
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: your neighborhood growing up Alissa?

786
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 3: I mean kind of not really too much. So I

787
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: mean like when I was like super super young, we

788
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: lived like right outside of Baton Rouge, and then when

789
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 3: I started school we kind of moved. But when we

790
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 3: had moved like more into the city of m Ridge,

791
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 3: we weren't we were really intending on like moving fully

792
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: into Baton Rouge. We had only gotten like just a

793
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 3: condo because the idea was that during the school week

794
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: we would just stay at the condo which was really

795
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: close to school, and on the weekends we'd still go

796
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: back outside the city and stuff. But then, you know,

797
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: being a kid, wanted to play soccer, hang out with friends,

798
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 3: do this, do that, which was all in baton Rouge.

799
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 3: So we all kind of end up moving into bat Rouge.

800
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: But it was just kind of a kind of a

801
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: whole lot of shifts and stuff growing up.

802
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you have to kind of like stay out

803
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: of trouble, right to become an astronaut. You can't get arrested, well,

804
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean that would be preferred.

805
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 2: I like that you're taking in one of your TED talks,

806
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: you talk about, you know, shifting the paradigm and approaching

807
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: this in a different way and maybe blazing a new

808
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: path towards becoming an astronaut. I love that. I think

809
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: that's so cool. I've always felt that there should be

810
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 2: like what you're doing is you're excelling, and you're picking

811
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: up all these skills, and you're also bringing other life

812
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: skills that are maybe non traditional to the typical astronaut path.

813
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: I always thought that there should be like the United States,

814
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: when they send up a mission, they have the best

815
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: of the best, and then they just have one average Joe.

816
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 2: They just have somebody from somewhere to see the effects

817
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: of space on that person and the psychological repro It's

818
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: the same way I feel about the Olympics, that the

819
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: host country and every event should send one just average

820
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: citizen to compete in all the events versus so we

821
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: can see at home, like, oh, that's how I would be.

822
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: I would get dead last by five seconds in the

823
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: one hundred meter dash. But do you feel like it

824
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: is an advantage that you're coming at it from a

825
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: totally different trajectory.

826
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean, it's definitely super interesting because

827
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: kind of the typical path of astronauts kind of up

828
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: to this point has just been you know, some people

829
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 3: who have been successful in their careers, a selection process

830
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: roll around. Either they see it or someone sends it.

831
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, hey, I happen to meet these requirements.

832
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 3: Well I'm going to happen to apply, and then they

833
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: get selected and they're like, cool, I'm an astronaut now.

834
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: So it's definitely not you know, and some of them,

835
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: you know, have interests when they're young, but they just

836
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 3: kind of lose and forget about and then you know,

837
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: end up applying later on in life, but kind of

838
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: just like changing an idea of like what if we

839
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 3: had that idea early in life and actually stuck with

840
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 3: it and work towards that objective. So it's definitely, you know,

841
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: just a different mindset of it. And it's also sure

842
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: you know, can be applied to other jobs as well,

843
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 3: because you know, obviously it's totally normal to not have

844
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: it figured out what you want to do, but I

845
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 3: mean some people do you know, some people really have

846
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, something that they really enjoy and or even

847
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, if it changes along the way, it's never

848
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: hurts to actually learn and pursue or start seeing what

849
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: you can actually get involved with with something that you're

850
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: interested in.

851
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: Also, I think that you're kind of creating a new model,

852
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: especially from Mars travel, because there is you know, there's

853
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: a good chance that a Mars trip could be a

854
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: one way trip, right, yeah, you know, I mean a.

855
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 3: Lot of people have you know, well, different companies and

856
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: different uh people have kind of had different ideas for

857
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: the mission to Mars. You know, some ideas happen to

858
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 3: have a one way mission, some you know include a

859
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: return you know, I do think that the first missions

860
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 3: are going to have like a return trip, just you know,

861
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 3: for many reasons. First of all, I don't necessarily think

862
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 3: that we're at the point of just like, you know,

863
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 3: first hurrah, let's just send them and never bring them

864
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: back and just kind of hope for the best. I

865
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 3: don't necessarily think that's kind of like how this space

866
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: program works. You know, we want, you know, we want

867
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 3: to kind of build up to that, and then at

868
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: the same time, you know, the goal of the mission

869
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 3: to Mars is to have research done in all of this,

870
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 3: and we can only bring so much scientific equipment with us,

871
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: so you know, I think in we're going to want

872
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 3: to bring stuff back to continue to figure things out

873
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 3: and do research and stuff. So, you know, just kind

874
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 3: of those two you know, first layer things. I think

875
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 3: that they're definitely going to be a return for for

876
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 3: you know, for several missions, but maybe we can work out,

877
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 3: especially as technology develops, where like the in between time

878
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: is quicker. I think that gets quicker, then you know

879
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: it'll be no problem.

880
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: Well, I volunteers the Bozo guinea pig. By the way,

881
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: in fifteen years, I probably won't have much going on

882
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: you know, if I'm willing to go, how long does

883
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 2: it take to get tomorrow's six months? Nine months? Something

884
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: like that?

885
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got time, I'm in Give me another story

886
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: scatty okay.

887
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: This one is from Irish Times dot com. I believe

888
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 2: IrishCentral dot com written by Shane O'Brien at sham Moob

889
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: ninety six.

890
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: Shane O'Brien classic Irish name.

891
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: Yep Scottish man find for calling irishman a leprechaun. So

892
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: Terry Myers forty one appeared in the Aberdeen Sheriff court

893
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: room after he sent his ex partner an email in

894
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: which he made reference to the woman's new partner as

895
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: being a leprechaun. Uh he is Irish, so the public

896
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: prosecutor has the ability to impose fiscal fines. She said

897
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: that Myers made quote various threats to assault to the

898
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 2: woman's new partner in the email. Love additionally said that

899
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: Myers referred to her new partner as a leprechaun in

900
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: the email. She said the term was found offensive since

901
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: he was born in Dublin. Myers pled guilty to sending

902
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: the message that was grossly offensive, in decent and menacing.

903
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: According to The Evening Express, and that he used offensive

904
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: derogatory language to refer to the woman's new partner. The

905
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: court found that Myers had conviitted a racially aggravated offense,

906
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 2: so calling an Irishman a leprechaun you can get charged

907
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 2: as a racially aggravated offense. He was fined the equivalent

908
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: of three hundred and fifty American dollars. But in a

909
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 2: similar case in two thousand and eight, a Liverpool court

910
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: found that calling somebody a leprechaun was not a racist insult,

911
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: and in that case, an eighteen year old called a

912
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: woman named Eleanor Vince a fucking leprechaun and was not

913
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: charged with racially aggravated harassment.

914
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: It's interesting that it's it's like, it's it's not it's

915
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: it's zen it's xenophobic, if anything, right, because it's just

916
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: a country. It's not like a Scottish person isn't. Okay,

917
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna get into a whole.

918
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: Big yeah, that's a deeper conversation. It's a but in

919
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: an email, calling an Irishman, an actual born in Dublin

920
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Irishman a leprechaun could land you in jail. I'm fine.

921
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: I got one hundred and fifty bucks.

922
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: I got to delete some emails.

923
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: Guys. That's been Kurt's nickname for me for years.

924
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: One of my go tos.

925
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 2: Oh, no, that seems fun. That seems like a fun Yeah,

926
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 2: and it's quote petty and pathetic was what the lawyers

927
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 2: were describing the attack.

928
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised and that you can get fine for

929
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: an email. I had no idea.

930
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: Also, let it go, you know, let it go. If

931
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: it's an X, let it? Why why I keep harassing somebody?

932
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: Stop holding onto the past, Alyssa.

933
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Ireland?

934
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 3: I have actually been.

935
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: To see Lepreus. Sorry, we love it. My mom's last

936
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: name is feral. I'm safe.

937
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 3: No, I had gone for a I went to the

938
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 3: Dublin Tech Summit and spoke there, which was a whole

939
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: lot of fun. So it was my first time in Ireland.

940
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: Not only went the one time so far, but it

941
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 3: was a whole lot of fun. It was. It was

942
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 3: pretty cool because Chris Hadfield was there, and Chris Hadfield

943
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 3: is a pretty popular Canadian astronaut. He plays the guitar

944
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: and sings, so he's a pretty good like Rould favorite,

945
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 3: and so that was like my first time being able

946
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: to meet him, and so that was pretty cool just

947
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 3: to kind of meet him and chat for a little bit.

948
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 3: We actually our flight kind of overlapped with like the

949
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: last day of the conference, so like we didn't actually

950
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 3: get to like sit in for his speech, but what

951
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: we did was we went to like his rehearsal basically

952
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 3: the day before. So it was so cool because he

953
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 3: was practicing because he was playing on Singing Major tom you.

954
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: Know, he was playing on Singing Classic Space.

955
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 3: He was playing on Singing that like during the conference

956
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 3: or whatever. But he was practicing you know, the vocals

957
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: and the guitar sounds and getting into sound right before

958
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: the thing. So it's like being like at your own

959
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 3: like private concert because like there wasn't anyone in there

960
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: because it's rehearsal.

961
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: So that's great.

962
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 3: Wow, Like the ground control, this is so bizarre.

963
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: I love that this guy who has been to Space

964
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: already already a very impressive person to listen to speak,

965
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: also feels like he's got a pizzazz it up a

966
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: little bit and sing a song at the end, give

967
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: a little flirt, a little flourish right at the end.

968
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: All right, do you guys want too short little ones

969
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: before we go, before we let a Lissa go. I

970
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: think so, and these are right. These are right up

971
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: my alley because they're both about animals. I always I

972
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: don't mean to choose most stories are about animals, but

973
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: I end up doing it. This one was sent to

974
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: us by I think one hundred people. Drunk monkey sentenced

975
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: to life behind bars after attacking two hundred and fifty humans.

976
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: So this is a story about a alcoholic monkey. The

977
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: monkeys named Kalua. Now it's the same way as you

978
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: pronounce the coffee liqueur. He will spend the rest of

979
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: his life in animal prison. This is from sevennews dot

980
00:51:53,840 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: com dot Au, our favorite local Australian absite. This is

981
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: by the digital staff. Thank you Digital staff, keep doing

982
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: your thing, Digi. According to reports, the animals bitten over

983
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty people. One of his victims died.

984
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Rip Khalua is a pet monk. I'm

985
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: just gonna read this because it has some weird things

986
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: that I don't understand. H Khalua is a pet monkey

987
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: owned by an occultist, and a cultist is someone who

988
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: believes in the existence of supernatural agencies. But don't get

989
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: too distracted by that. The owner said. The owner would

990
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: regularly give khalua liquor to drink. We can't be sure

991
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: if Klu was actually drinking khalua. This is where it

992
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: gets a bit dark. The beloved pet eventually became an alcoholic.

993
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: When his owner, the occultist again not really important, died

994
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: and the booze stopped flowing. The monkey became aggressive. Kalua

995
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 1: on a rampage across the Mirzapura district in India, fighting

996
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: everyone he came across. Eventually, animal experts were called in

997
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: to catch him. Now Kalu is behind bars at the

998
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: can person. Oh, it's a zoo. Oh this article, I

999
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: think was That's why they just said. Digital staff wrote

1000
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: it because I don't know if this is I mean,

1001
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: it's all real, because I know that there's many other

1002
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: websites that covered this, because we got a lot of them.

1003
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: We kept.

1004
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: But here's the quote from the Camperzue. We kept him

1005
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: in isolations for some months and then shifted him to

1006
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: a separate cage. There's been no change in his behavior

1007
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: and he remains as aggressive as he was. It has

1008
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: been three years since he was brought here. Now I'm

1009
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: decided that he will remain in captivity all his life.

1010
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: That is sad and just because he got it, that's crazy. Also,

1011
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: it's just grief. Maybe was just grief his owner died,

1012
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: or his buddy died, his drinking buddy died. He just

1013
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: started biting people.

1014
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 3: See things take a lot more sense now that we're

1015
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 3: talking about zoo rather than animal jail.

1016
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: I was like, what is it jail?

1017
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 3: I was like, it's lucky. He just like picking up

1018
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 3: his like cup.

1019
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: And like, Alyssa, I am so happy you said that

1020
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: because that ties in with this other story, this quick

1021
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: one Dutch police, Oh.

1022
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: Come on, the best police. Oh come on, it's okay.

1023
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: Website froze and it's Dutch police arrest a bird. Sure

1024
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: this is from time. My thing is not loading for

1025
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: some reason. I hope I don't lose my innernet.

1026
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 2: Also, just a quick in between, we had a lot

1027
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 2: of you send a very good story. I believe it

1028
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 2: was from Austria about a man getting arrested and fined

1029
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 2: for intentionally farting so violently at the cops. I'm gonna

1030
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 2: post that one on Instagram because the photo is so funny.

1031
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 2: But Yeah, match a massive guest, massive intestinal disruption, and

1032
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 2: they find they arrested him for farting really loudly? Are

1033
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 2: cops Kurt? Was that enough of a halftime for you? Yep?

1034
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: Police arrested a sneaky bird for its partner robbery. This

1035
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 1: is for Time Magazine by Rachel green Span. A Dutch

1036
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: bird was spotted at the scene of the crime, and

1037
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: the police evidently had a lot of fundeling out of punishment,

1038
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: so they rested this bird because this guy robbed this

1039
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: store with a bird on his shoulder, which is the

1040
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: coolest way to rob a store is with a little

1041
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: parakeet on your shoulder the whole time. So they arrested

1042
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: the man, and they obviously had to take the bird

1043
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: and took custody because they couldn't just let the bird go.

1044
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: It was a pet bird and they didn't have a

1045
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: bird cage, so they put the bird in its own

1046
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: jail cell and gave him a little sandwich, and then

1047
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: they took a photograph of it. And the only reason

1048
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: that this is great is because they have a photo

1049
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: of this tiny bird in a jail cell like and

1050
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: he has nibbled a little bit on his sandwich on

1051
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: his like jail sandwich that he gets.

1052
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 3: The bars? Is he that?

1053
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: Like great quest question? That is a great question. Also,

1054
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: he might have his wings clipped, do you know what

1055
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean? He might not be able to fly. And

1056
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: then here's the best part is that in when the

1057
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: media picked up this photograph, they put it on their Instagram,

1058
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: these specific Dutch police. Dutch media picked it up and

1059
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: then put a black bar over the bird's eyes to

1060
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: protect its identity. Sweet pea, Yeah, man, it looks really great.

1061
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 2: That's so funny. There is a joy when you're on

1062
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 2: the beach and you see like somebody going to the

1063
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 2: ocean and then you see the seagulls land and start

1064
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 2: going at their like doritos and sandwiches, and you give

1065
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 2: that half asked, like hey watch it, and then you

1066
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: just give in. And then you see four hundred, like

1067
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: of the most ravenous birds in the world just ripping apart.

1068
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: Somebody's quiz nose. It's a jewey.

1069
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: I watched I watched a couple go into the beat

1070
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: into the water, and a bird came over. They had

1071
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: their bag, it was zipped clothes. The seagull unzipped the

1072
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: bag reached inside of it, pulled out a Burger King bag,

1073
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: then grabbed the bag by the bottom, picked it upside down,

1074
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: dumped the contents of the burger King out, and then

1075
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: found a chicken sandwich Burger King chicken sandwich that long one,

1076
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: and then unwrapped it and then grabbed the whole sandwich

1077
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: and took off with it. Seagulls are very smart and

1078
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: they're awful.

1079
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: Yep, smartness.

1080
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: Are you a bird fan, Alyssa?

1081
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean I don't.

1082
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 5: Dislike them, but I'm not like you either good nor Yes, exactly,

1083
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 5: I don't dislike or like birds.

1084
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 3: Guys.

1085
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: Are you having fun up here? It's good? It's not bad.
