WEBVTT - Short Stuff: Arctic Fox

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh, and

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>there's Chuck. We're just a couple of Foxes, Silver Foxes

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>with our pal Jerry silver is fox of all. My

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>hair's got a little great to it now. Yeah, your

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>beard super gray. Now it's been gray for a while,

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>but now I'm now that the gray is creeping into

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the old upstairs. I've been plucking mine, no, sure what,

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't care, do you? Mine sometimes comes in a

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>little wiry, and I'm like, I don't really like that

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>look on my super straight hair, so I do pull

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>them out when they come in like that. Sure Head

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Pubes kind of a little bit more looked like a

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>roadie for Tesla. Oh you mean Jimmy Head Pube Barrington, Yeah,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the guitar tech. That's right. He was a great one,

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>but his hair was messed up. I'll hit him with

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:03.319
<v Speaker 1>some smoke. That's right, man, That guy old inside joke

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>from our Detroit show. Some of you know what, some

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>of you don't. But we're here to talk about the

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Arctic fox, one of the cuter little critters on planet Earth. Right,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So the Arctic fox is adorable, um, and it's uh

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of of in the same families dogs, which makes it

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>automatically lovable. But the fact that they can survive in

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>some of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, it

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>makes them admirable. So there a adorable bowl. Okay, yeah,

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I got it. Nice Portmanteau, thank you. Yeah. So the

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Arctic fox Just go ahead, if you're in a place

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>where you're not driving and look up a little picture

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of these little fellas or you're not crossing the street

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>right now. That's right. But they are I keep saying

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.559
<v Speaker 1>little because they are small. Uh like foxes are small.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>The Arctic foxes even smaller. They can be as small

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>as a little chihuahua and by the way, big thanks

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to our old pals. At how stuff works with this one.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Or they can get huge, like the size of a

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>jack russell right there. They can get up to eight pounds.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right. So um when I said though, that they

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>can survive in some really inhospitable environments like the areas

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>where they live, the circumpolar areas Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland,

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Northern Europe, Russia. UM, basically in the in the Arctic,

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>um they like they have to put up with temperatures

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>that drop into like negative fifty degrees celsius, which is

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>negative fifty eight degrees fahrenheit, which reminded me chuck of

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember what episode it was, but remember Seemo

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Hia the White Death. Yeah, And we talked about how

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>he he was, um he was, you know, basically sniping

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Russian soldiers when it was like negative forty degrees fair

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>fahrenheight and fifty people rode in and said, negative forty

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>is the same in fahrenheight and celsius. I will never

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>forget that, And I just wanted to say it again

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that I still remember after all these years. So remember that.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, what's astounding about the Arctic fox is that

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it can survive in those kind of temperatures, and they

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>can do so for a lot of reasons. There are

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of really pretty spectacular evolutionary adaptations that allow

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>this to happen, and one of those is just that

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>little size. The fact that they're small, they're compact. They

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>have little legs, a little short muzzles, and they have

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>little small ears, so they don't have a lot of

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>surface area to begin with exposed exposed to that cold, right, right.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's one big thing. They also have the

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>warmest coat of any Arctic animal. It has multiple layers

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and probably any animal wouldn't you think I would guess? So, yeah,

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I now that you mention it. Um, they like they

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>can trap a layer of air which is heated by

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>their body heat, which in turn keeps them warm. So

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>it like protects them from the outside cold or air.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty amazing. And then um, the couded gras, the

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>death blow about their pelt is the fluffy tail on

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the and that they actually used to cover their head

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and face with when they curl up to sleep. Adorable.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>That is awfully adorable. It's true. They also have hair.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>They're the only canad that has hair over their footpads.

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>So not only does that just add even more insulation,

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>but it helds some walk on the snow. And then

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they have countercurrent blood circulation. Uh, And this is what's

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. They're gonna reduce the blood flow to their

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>feet to make sure those little paws don't get frost bitten.

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And then when it gets really really cold, their actual

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>metabolism um shifts by about slower than it is during

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the summer to you know, to basically warm them up

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to keep them from having to eat as much when

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>there's not as much food, So their body undergoes a

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>metabolic change to survive those winters. Yeah, kind of like

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a walking quasi hibernation, and so that they use up

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>less fat stores that they build up in the fall.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Totally pretty cool. And one thing I didn't realize about

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the Arctic fox, in addition to just about everything we've

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>just said, um that they come in two colors. There's

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a blue variety of an Arctic fox, which is awesome.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Did you see those? I think it's like that white

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that's so white it looks blue. Well, it's sort of

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a gray to um. It certainly doesn't look blue blue.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>So if you get excited to go see a blue

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>animal or a blue mammal, don't get your hopes up

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>too much. But it's you know, I have a problem.

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not color blind or anything. But Emily always sees

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>colors more uh and more deeply, I guess than I do.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 1>So she might see one and call it blue, but

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think. I mean, I see one in the

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Google image results, and it's pretty blue. I see the

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>gray you're talking about as well, but it's you know,

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>people do all sorts of cookie things with uh, you know,

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>post production with photographs now, so who knows what they

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>did with that? See me that blue fox? Will you sure?

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>In a box? Sure, I'm gonna go get them, And

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you could go get them. Some people do keep them

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>as pets from time to time, but those are people

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>who live up in Arctic areas. You wouldn't want to

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>get one and bring them down to Georgia because they

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>would be extremely uncomfortable and that would be cruel. But also, chuck,

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>they apparently make really terrible pets as well, right, Yeah.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I think they're known as super super stinky. I think

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>they have a urine that's it's sort of like skunk like,

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>so they're smelly. They're very very hard to train, although

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>they say you can train them, but they it's just

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 1>it's probably not a great idea if you're for a pet.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're living up in the Arctic, you

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have a lot of choices, Go ahead and get

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>an Arctic fox and see what you can do. But

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>don't don't live in Miami Beach and think you're gonna

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>be cool and have some exotic pet, because it's illegal.

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>A and just unethical. B Right, there you go. It

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>covers both boxes. Should we take a break, I think

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>we should. We'll come back with more about the Arctic fox.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>So what do these little boogers eat? Um? So apparently

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>so since they're canaids, they should be carnivores um, even

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>hyper carnivores I've seen, but they're they're technically omnivores because

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>food supplies can get so scarce that Arctic foxes have

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.239
<v Speaker 1>been known to eat basically whatever will sustain them, including

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>seaweed and berries, but typically they prefer meat. Sure, they

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>will load up, increasing their weight by up to as

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that hard, hard winter sets in store up that body fat.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And if you see a polar bear in the Arctic hunting,

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you will probably find at least one or more Arctic

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>foxes trailing u not too far behind, because they will

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>follow those polar bears around and get whatever little scraps

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that polar bear can't get to. That's right. One of

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the great things about Arctic foxes is they can hunt

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>year round because of their little ears. Their ears are

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>super wide. They're short, but they're wide, and they can

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>actually hear stuff like some of their prey moving under

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the snow and so uh if you've ever seen a

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>video of an Arctic fox pounce, it's adorable. But they

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>will go, it's so great, and then straight down to

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>like kind of break through the snow and land on

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>top of their prey and catch their prey. And um,

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I will one up you. The Arctic fox pouncing is adorable.

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Momo does that to lizards, and really it makes an

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Arctic fox look like garbage. It's so cute, man, you

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>see the videos. In the snow, this Arctic fox will

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>literally leap up in the air and then half of

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>it will disappear beneath the snow, and all you will

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>see sticking up is a butt and rear legs and

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that big old fluffy tail and then they'll you know,

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>there might be a mouse, you know, two feet down

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>into that snow that they smelled from many many feet away. Uh.

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So I highly recommend. I doubt if Josh is going

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to post pictures or videos of Momo of doing this

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube, but you can find plenty of Arctic foxes

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>doing it. I'll try to find I'll try to get

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a video of it actually if you can. Yeah, it's

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not adorable for the mice, but it is to everybody else. Yeah,

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.719
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's part of the food chain. It

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>is true. So um, if you are a male Arctic fox,

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they call you a dog, sure, sometimes with the a

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>W instead of an ode, depending on how good a

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>friends you are with the person calling you that. If

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you're a female, what do you call chuck? Your vixen?

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome, which I love. And just like other foxes,

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I think other foxes are kits little babies if I'm

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken, and you know, they've made about once a year,

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>they have about twenty they're born dark usually at first

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>about twenty little dark kits, and they are adorable. They

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>give birth in the blazing summer months of like a

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of spring to summer April through June, and usually

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>wean about forty five days and sometimes their siblings will

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>help raise them, which is also pretty cute. Yeah. And

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>then by the time they hit nine to ten months

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>of age, actually within six months, they're off on their own.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And then in nine to ten months they're sexually mature, um,

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and they have a really compressed initial you know, adolescents

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and um initial maturation period because they don't live that long. Actually,

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 1>I think in like, if you have an Arctic fox

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>as a pet, they've been known to live ten to

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>twelve years, kind of similar to a dog, although small

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>dogs often live longer than that by several years. But

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess the longest anyone's ever documented an Arctic fox

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>living is sixteen years. Yeah, and in the grand scheme

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of thing, I think in the wild, you're probably looking

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>at more like eight years. Yeah. I mean it's a

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>lot harder life in the wild, I would guess than

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>hanging out in some some dudes leaned to in northern Canada.

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, every since we're talking about the Arctic, every

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>time I think about the Arctic, now I think about

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the show of The Terror. Have you seen that show

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 1>The Terror? Don't think it was an AMC show. It's

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>available on Hulu. There were two seasons. It's an anthology series,

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>so each season is its own, entirely different story. The

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>second season I recommend like the first half of the

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>first season, from start to finish, the first second to

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the last second. It is worth every bit of your

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>your U interest. Oh wait a minute, this is the

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>one you recommended to the grabster on email, right, Yes,

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so good Man just check it out. It's such

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the best made television shows I've ever seen.

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine how much it costs to make. And

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>you can tell. And all of the actors are like

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>just the like every one of them is like the

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>best actor working today. Um. But you know, and you've

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>seen them, you recognize them here there, but you don't

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>really know their names like that kind of stuff. It's

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>just a really great, great show. Uh. Well, The Atlantic

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>says The Terror is more than a chilling monster show. Yeah. Well,

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the reason they call it the Terror is one of

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the one of the ships, the Terror of the Faded

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Lost polar Um Expedition. That's that's what it's about, is that.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 1>And it just kind of it's all um, speculative fiction basically. Uh.

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And since we're on TV corner here for the last minute, Uh,

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we just finished the first season of Leftovers last night.

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Season one wrapped up, and so we're speeding right into

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 1>season two. Loving the show. It started to drag a

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but then the last two episodes of season

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>one got really interesting. Uh. And I wanted to also

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>further explain I think I might have turned some people

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>off with Station A Levin saying, it is a post

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>pandemic flu pandemic world. Uh, it is. It is one

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>of the best shows I've ever seen. And it's not

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not terrifying. It's like there are no infected or

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>no zombies or anything out there waiting to kill you.

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Like all the infected died, So it's it's really just

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>about repopulating and the story of these people who survived.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's very uplifting, good good stuff I see. So

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it's soft core. Yeah, it's soft core. It's a Cinemax show.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the boy. How did we get here? God bless

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the Arctic fox is what we're saying, Thanks Arctic Foxes.

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>We love you guys. Uh. And of course everybody that

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:45.120
