I went to 23 00:01:45,965 --> 00:01:48,165 Speaker 1: sleep at like one ish and woke up at five 24 00:01:48,285 --> 00:01:52,125 Speaker 1: to take my brother at the airport. Brothers are canceled. 25 00:01:52,845 --> 00:01:57,085 Speaker 1: Brothers are canceled. Yes, So I don't know about how 26 00:01:57,165 --> 00:02:00,925 Speaker 1: y'all find your your cases, but I try and find 27 00:02:00,965 --> 00:02:03,925 Speaker 1: things that are relevant to my life to scare myself more, 28 00:02:03,925 --> 00:02:07,125 Speaker 1: I guess, but like something that I see or experience, 29 00:02:07,205 --> 00:02:10,605 Speaker 1: And right now I am so tired. I'm so tired. 30 00:02:10,645 --> 00:02:12,965 Speaker 1: I feel like I could die. I feel like that 31 00:02:13,165 --> 00:02:16,205 Speaker 1: is like a feeling. This feels like it's going to 32 00:02:16,245 --> 00:02:19,765 Speaker 1: be connected to your story. Yeah. Well, people get angry, 33 00:02:19,845 --> 00:02:21,525 Speaker 1: and I am the one. I'm the type of person 34 00:02:21,605 --> 00:02:24,445 Speaker 1: that gets like sleep angry, Like if I cannot find 35 00:02:24,525 --> 00:02:26,645 Speaker 1: a place to sleep when I'm tired, or if I 36 00:02:26,685 --> 00:02:29,685 Speaker 1: can't go to sleep for some reason, I get so mean. 37 00:02:30,045 --> 00:02:32,485 Speaker 1: Oh I become a different person. I literally I think 38 00:02:32,605 --> 00:02:35,125 Speaker 1: last night I was like hitting myself on the head 39 00:02:35,125 --> 00:02:36,285 Speaker 1: because I just was like, I need to go to bed, 40 00:02:36,325 --> 00:02:38,085 Speaker 1: I knock myself out. I need to do something, and 41 00:02:38,085 --> 00:02:40,845 Speaker 1: I was out of weed. So yeah, it's just like 42 00:02:40,925 --> 00:02:46,605 Speaker 1: I get so mean. Well, anyway, there's this one perfect Okay, Gabby, 43 00:02:46,725 --> 00:02:48,445 Speaker 1: I actually know for a fact that you suffer from 44 00:02:48,485 --> 00:02:53,885 Speaker 1: severe insomnia. Yeah, but I'm also perfect in spite of myself. Yeah, okay, 45 00:02:53,925 --> 00:02:59,885 Speaker 1: therapist work. So there's this one fella who took it 46 00:02:59,925 --> 00:03:02,925 Speaker 1: a little too far. In twenty twelve, there was this 47 00:03:03,005 --> 00:03:06,325 Speaker 1: Chinese man. His name was not disclosed to protect him, 48 00:03:06,405 --> 00:03:10,165 Speaker 1: so I don't know what his name was, but anyway, 49 00:03:10,245 --> 00:03:14,285 Speaker 1: he was quite the soccer enthusiast and he was determined 50 00:03:14,445 --> 00:03:18,445 Speaker 1: to watch all of the Eurosoccer Tournament in twenty twelve. 51 00:03:18,445 --> 00:03:22,525 Speaker 1: He wanted to see every single game. He was a 52 00:03:22,605 --> 00:03:25,765 Speaker 1: huge fan of France and England. But still he was like, 53 00:03:25,925 --> 00:03:28,685 Speaker 1: I still need to see how everything else goes while 54 00:03:28,685 --> 00:03:31,725 Speaker 1: he's in China, remember, and the time zone thing became 55 00:03:31,805 --> 00:03:34,605 Speaker 1: quite a problem. So basically what he would end up 56 00:03:34,645 --> 00:03:36,845 Speaker 1: doing is he'd go to work and then he'd stay 57 00:03:36,925 --> 00:03:39,125 Speaker 1: up through the night to watch all of the games, 58 00:03:39,565 --> 00:03:45,445 Speaker 1: go straight up to work and did this for eleven nights. No, 59 00:03:45,565 --> 00:03:47,845 Speaker 1: that's a long time. It's a very long This is 60 00:03:47,885 --> 00:03:52,005 Speaker 1: why sports are a danger. Yeah, and gaming because a 61 00:03:52,005 --> 00:03:54,565 Speaker 1: lot of gamers I feel like that happens to gamers too. 62 00:03:54,925 --> 00:03:57,565 Speaker 1: They just like stay up. Oh my gosh, it's so relatable. 63 00:03:57,685 --> 00:04:00,765 Speaker 1: I used to do that with Sims all the time. Sims, Yeah, 64 00:04:00,805 --> 00:04:04,925 Speaker 1: I'm a gamer, guys. Is that count Yeah? I guess 65 00:04:05,485 --> 00:04:10,325 Speaker 1: reely not. But whatever. Well anyway, so eleven nights followed 66 00:04:10,325 --> 00:04:12,405 Speaker 1: by a full day of work. I don't really know 67 00:04:12,445 --> 00:04:15,085 Speaker 1: what he did for a living, but when he would 68 00:04:15,085 --> 00:04:17,845 Speaker 1: watch the games, he'd drink with friends, he'd smoke a little. 69 00:04:18,365 --> 00:04:22,805 Speaker 1: And on June nineteenth, he watched Italy beat Ireland two oh, 70 00:04:23,045 --> 00:04:25,645 Speaker 1: headed home to shower, got it. He was like, you know, 71 00:04:25,685 --> 00:04:27,965 Speaker 1: it's time to get a good night's sleep, do it 72 00:04:28,005 --> 00:04:31,405 Speaker 1: all again, Except for this night, he did not wake 73 00:04:31,485 --> 00:04:34,765 Speaker 1: back up. He died from exhaustion of staying up for 74 00:04:34,805 --> 00:04:37,885 Speaker 1: eleven nights. The alcohol and smoking, for sure didn't help, 75 00:04:38,005 --> 00:04:40,325 Speaker 1: but that was not the cause. It was ultimately the 76 00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:43,485 Speaker 1: lack of sleep that got him. And like the exhaustion 77 00:04:43,685 --> 00:04:46,485 Speaker 1: from like just go go, go, go go. What was 78 00:04:46,685 --> 00:04:51,165 Speaker 1: the exact like cause of death. Was it just exhaustion 79 00:04:51,285 --> 00:04:53,645 Speaker 1: or was it like heart failure or was it it 80 00:04:53,765 --> 00:04:56,525 Speaker 1: was exhaustion? Thing just like like his body, just like 81 00:04:56,645 --> 00:04:59,725 Speaker 1: his body was just like I'm done that's just you 82 00:04:59,845 --> 00:05:04,125 Speaker 1: have to reset. So interestingly set into a new life. Wow, 83 00:05:04,565 --> 00:05:10,205 Speaker 1: he rapped, he rebooted into a new life. Yeah, so interestingly. Actually, 84 00:05:10,245 --> 00:05:13,005 Speaker 1: there was this high school teenager in nineteen sixty four 85 00:05:13,365 --> 00:05:15,325 Speaker 1: and he was like trying to conduct his own study, 86 00:05:15,405 --> 00:05:18,085 Speaker 1: which like in high school, like that's really intense, Like 87 00:05:18,125 --> 00:05:20,845 Speaker 1: I'm going to do with study. I was not that ambitious, 88 00:05:21,525 --> 00:05:23,165 Speaker 1: but he wanted to see what the effects of like 89 00:05:23,205 --> 00:05:26,565 Speaker 1: no sleep would have on a person. And he too 90 00:05:26,685 --> 00:05:29,605 Speaker 1: made it to eleven days. He didn't die, but he 91 00:05:29,685 --> 00:05:32,965 Speaker 1: suffered a great deal of side effects. He had hallucinations 92 00:05:33,005 --> 00:05:36,525 Speaker 1: and loss of muscle control, short term memory loss. He 93 00:05:36,885 --> 00:05:38,685 Speaker 1: actually so they were like, you know, he was like 94 00:05:38,725 --> 00:05:40,285 Speaker 1: doing all these things, like trying to see like what 95 00:05:40,325 --> 00:05:42,685 Speaker 1: he could and couldn't do with like this lack of sleep. 96 00:05:43,245 --> 00:05:46,325 Speaker 1: And he was like they're like, okay, can you count 97 00:05:46,325 --> 00:05:48,605 Speaker 1: backwards from one hundred? And he would like get through 98 00:05:48,645 --> 00:05:50,845 Speaker 1: a few numbers and then just totally forget what he 99 00:05:50,885 --> 00:05:54,285 Speaker 1: was doing, like it's that bad. And then at one point, 100 00:05:54,325 --> 00:05:56,445 Speaker 1: which this is kind of silly to me, he was 101 00:05:56,645 --> 00:05:59,365 Speaker 1: convinced that he was a professional football player and would 102 00:05:59,405 --> 00:06:01,685 Speaker 1: like argue with anyone and like get into a fight 103 00:06:01,725 --> 00:06:04,765 Speaker 1: with people if they like said, like, no, you're not, 104 00:06:04,805 --> 00:06:06,325 Speaker 1: You're just like a high soul student. He was like 105 00:06:06,365 --> 00:06:10,125 Speaker 1: losing his sanity. He was losing that's so dangerous mind. 106 00:06:10,965 --> 00:06:13,645 Speaker 1: But um, so, I think I think he was also 107 00:06:13,645 --> 00:06:15,605 Speaker 1: trying to get like a Guinness Book of World Records. 108 00:06:15,605 --> 00:06:20,045 Speaker 1: But like they don't they don't recognize recognize dangerous things 109 00:06:20,085 --> 00:06:22,125 Speaker 1: like that anymore, which is kind of weird. I mean, 110 00:06:22,285 --> 00:06:25,125 Speaker 1: everything seems dangerous in the Guiness Book World Records. Well, yeah, 111 00:06:25,165 --> 00:06:29,445 Speaker 1: that's true, but very extra. There's the Greate challenge right now. 112 00:06:29,485 --> 00:06:33,565 Speaker 1: So I feel like, you know, so dumb dangers still 113 00:06:33,565 --> 00:06:37,285 Speaker 1: be dangers. Can you tell um listeners what the great 114 00:06:37,365 --> 00:06:40,725 Speaker 1: challenges for those who are not on Twitter? I was, okay, 115 00:06:40,805 --> 00:06:42,365 Speaker 1: I was out of town. I came back and I 116 00:06:42,405 --> 00:06:44,525 Speaker 1: was like, what is going on with these people flying 117 00:06:44,565 --> 00:06:47,125 Speaker 1: off of creates? What is happening? Yes, it's like people 118 00:06:47,165 --> 00:06:50,005 Speaker 1: are stacking creates like a pyramid, and then you so 119 00:06:50,125 --> 00:06:52,365 Speaker 1: it'll be like starting with like one to two to 120 00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:54,485 Speaker 1: three to four to five to six to multiple you know, 121 00:06:54,525 --> 00:06:57,005 Speaker 1: stacked on top of each other, and the challenges to 122 00:06:57,085 --> 00:07:00,525 Speaker 1: walk across them. And so obviously as the taller they 123 00:07:00,565 --> 00:07:03,685 Speaker 1: are the more unstable they are, so the more likely 124 00:07:03,725 --> 00:07:07,525 Speaker 1: you're going to fall. And they most people see in 125 00:07:07,645 --> 00:07:09,125 Speaker 1: the videos, I've seen a lot of people do be 126 00:07:09,205 --> 00:07:12,805 Speaker 1: fallen and it looks very painful. So yeah, but I 127 00:07:12,845 --> 00:07:15,285 Speaker 1: guess the Guestbook of World Records isn't gonna isn't gonna 128 00:07:15,325 --> 00:07:18,045 Speaker 1: acknowledge the tallest crates. So you, guys, if that's what 129 00:07:18,125 --> 00:07:20,165 Speaker 1: you're going for, which I don't think. I think literally 130 00:07:20,165 --> 00:07:23,485 Speaker 1: it's just tomfoolery and debauchery and the world is the 131 00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:27,005 Speaker 1: world is also losing its mind milk. That is true. 132 00:07:27,645 --> 00:07:29,485 Speaker 1: Maybe the world needs more sleep. But what I will 133 00:07:29,525 --> 00:07:32,765 Speaker 1: say about the milk crate challenge is crates were really dangerous. Okay, 134 00:07:32,925 --> 00:07:35,565 Speaker 1: my friend who will be unnamed, and I will not 135 00:07:35,605 --> 00:07:38,965 Speaker 1: give any details other than this, they woke up at 136 00:07:39,085 --> 00:07:43,405 Speaker 1: night and accidentally like fell on a bunch of crates 137 00:07:43,845 --> 00:07:51,205 Speaker 1: and really really damaged their organ they're what they're under 138 00:07:51,325 --> 00:07:56,165 Speaker 1: organ oh oh, the genderless genital organ. Yeah, and it 139 00:07:56,245 --> 00:07:59,725 Speaker 1: was like really really bad all from like falling on 140 00:07:59,845 --> 00:08:05,405 Speaker 1: some crates. So wow, I mean, don't sleep by crates. 141 00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:11,925 Speaker 1: Semple fix obviously, I know, I know. Back to the 142 00:08:11,965 --> 00:08:15,005 Speaker 1: whole sleep thing. The good news so so against book 143 00:08:15,045 --> 00:08:17,605 Speaker 1: World Records, is like that's too dangerous. We're not going 144 00:08:17,685 --> 00:08:20,285 Speaker 1: to do stuff that like can like really kill you 145 00:08:20,445 --> 00:08:24,605 Speaker 1: like that. But this kid was like after eleven days, 146 00:08:24,645 --> 00:08:27,245 Speaker 1: he got fourteen hours of sleep and was like fully recovered. 147 00:08:28,125 --> 00:08:30,845 Speaker 1: So like, okay, this guy was fine, but like eleven 148 00:08:30,925 --> 00:08:34,205 Speaker 1: days was kind of that's it's just ironic or something 149 00:08:34,245 --> 00:08:36,645 Speaker 1: that it was eleven days for both of them. Yeah, 150 00:08:36,685 --> 00:08:39,205 Speaker 1: But also this guy was sixteen and maybe he wasn't 151 00:08:39,245 --> 00:08:42,605 Speaker 1: doing alcohol and smoking, so that's true. The other guy 152 00:08:42,725 --> 00:08:47,365 Speaker 1: was I think twenty six and whatnot whatever it was 153 00:08:47,405 --> 00:08:49,805 Speaker 1: that he was doing. But um, but anyway, so smart. 154 00:08:50,365 --> 00:08:53,645 Speaker 1: So there was this one comparison that I read throughout 155 00:08:53,645 --> 00:08:56,085 Speaker 1: the day. Your brain is just like getting dirty and 156 00:08:56,125 --> 00:08:59,605 Speaker 1: like toxic, and and the more that you're awake and 157 00:08:59,645 --> 00:09:03,045 Speaker 1: the more that you're like thinking and whatever, you're basically 158 00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:06,245 Speaker 1: dirtying up your brain. And sleep is like a way 159 00:09:06,365 --> 00:09:08,845 Speaker 1: of washing your brain to clean it up. Which, honestly, 160 00:09:08,845 --> 00:09:11,685 Speaker 1: it seems like a very good comparison because to me, 161 00:09:11,725 --> 00:09:14,885 Speaker 1: there's nothing like better than a good night's sleep. But 162 00:09:15,045 --> 00:09:19,405 Speaker 1: here's the thing, like we not cadaver, we but like 163 00:09:19,445 --> 00:09:23,125 Speaker 1: the scientists, we don't really know much about like why 164 00:09:23,165 --> 00:09:25,525 Speaker 1: do we sleep? We spend like a third of our 165 00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:27,925 Speaker 1: lives in this weird state of pause. But then we 166 00:09:27,965 --> 00:09:29,925 Speaker 1: don't really know like why. I mean, we know that 167 00:09:29,925 --> 00:09:32,525 Speaker 1: it makes us feel better and it energizes and restores us, 168 00:09:32,565 --> 00:09:37,165 Speaker 1: but like why, like evolutionarily speaking, like the why for that, 169 00:09:37,205 --> 00:09:40,045 Speaker 1: we just don't really know evolutionary speaking, it doesn't make 170 00:09:40,085 --> 00:09:42,885 Speaker 1: sense because if like you close your eyes to sleep 171 00:09:42,925 --> 00:09:46,205 Speaker 1: and rest and you're not aware, and then predators will 172 00:09:46,245 --> 00:09:49,485 Speaker 1: get you, you know, exactly. So there's a few theories, 173 00:09:49,565 --> 00:09:52,445 Speaker 1: right because it just seems like you're you're just a 174 00:09:52,565 --> 00:09:55,645 Speaker 1: very vulnerable state. But there's a few theories. Um, like 175 00:09:55,685 --> 00:10:00,125 Speaker 1: Harvard did some some study, some science, they did studience, 176 00:10:00,765 --> 00:10:07,485 Speaker 1: you know, Harvard sit Harvard exactly. But one is basically inactivity. 177 00:10:07,645 --> 00:10:11,605 Speaker 1: You're not moving, you're not alerting predators. Second is like energy, 178 00:10:11,965 --> 00:10:15,045 Speaker 1: which you know, that makes sense. I'm just so sort 179 00:10:15,085 --> 00:10:17,765 Speaker 1: of still, except for I move a lot when I sleep, 180 00:10:17,765 --> 00:10:20,285 Speaker 1: so that that doesn't work. Oh I don't I sleep 181 00:10:20,325 --> 00:10:22,525 Speaker 1: like a ballerina? Yeah you do, don't you have your 182 00:10:23,005 --> 00:10:27,125 Speaker 1: my little up Nika sleeps with like she lays on 183 00:10:27,165 --> 00:10:29,565 Speaker 1: her back. She's got her silk pillow, she's got her 184 00:10:29,645 --> 00:10:34,565 Speaker 1: lavender spray. She's got like one knee up, but she's 185 00:10:34,605 --> 00:10:39,085 Speaker 1: just like a pirouette. Yeah. Position and hands are like 186 00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:43,165 Speaker 1: resting on my tummy. You are just it's not really graceful. 187 00:10:43,765 --> 00:10:47,245 Speaker 1: Mine is the eye sleep of the exact opposite. I'm 188 00:10:47,285 --> 00:10:51,325 Speaker 1: a gremlin in the cave. Yeah, I love my little gremlins. 189 00:10:52,005 --> 00:10:55,165 Speaker 1: So the second the second theory is that it's for 190 00:10:55,325 --> 00:10:58,005 Speaker 1: energy conservation. So like at a time when there was 191 00:10:58,045 --> 00:11:00,445 Speaker 1: not a lot of food available, you needed to conserve 192 00:11:00,525 --> 00:11:03,085 Speaker 1: the energy that the food gives you by resting, so 193 00:11:03,165 --> 00:11:05,205 Speaker 1: you have the energy to basically go out and find 194 00:11:05,205 --> 00:11:08,885 Speaker 1: more food. And then another theory is that sleep is 195 00:11:08,925 --> 00:11:11,885 Speaker 1: just restorative and the body like is literally just like 196 00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,645 Speaker 1: repairing itself. Like back to that comparison earlier about like 197 00:11:14,685 --> 00:11:16,845 Speaker 1: your brain is just being like dirtied up throughout the day, 198 00:11:17,125 --> 00:11:25,365 Speaker 1: especially Nika's Oh, Nika's Nika's mind so dirty. All Yeah, 199 00:11:25,405 --> 00:11:28,805 Speaker 1: someone complimented my stand up recently saying I was nasty, 200 00:11:28,965 --> 00:11:32,525 Speaker 1: So you are nasty, Gabby. The amount of anal jokes, 201 00:11:32,565 --> 00:11:35,045 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my goodness. But the thing is, I 202 00:11:35,085 --> 00:11:37,925 Speaker 1: love them. It's funny. Change it is funny. And so 203 00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:41,285 Speaker 1: the last theory is brain plasticity theory where your brain 204 00:11:41,445 --> 00:11:45,765 Speaker 1: is literally building and creating memories and learning, which okay, 205 00:11:45,845 --> 00:11:49,765 Speaker 1: I actually have my own theory. So I was living 206 00:11:49,925 --> 00:11:52,605 Speaker 1: to say, cada pals give us a theory like like 207 00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:55,245 Speaker 1: as a joke, but clearly you know I got one, 208 00:11:55,325 --> 00:11:58,885 Speaker 1: and this isn't really a joke. So okay, when my 209 00:11:58,965 --> 00:12:01,525 Speaker 1: sister had just had her baby, she was very tired, right, 210 00:12:01,685 --> 00:12:04,165 Speaker 1: like obviously, like you have you have just done a 211 00:12:04,285 --> 00:12:07,525 Speaker 1: very intense thing. Your body has undergone an insane amount 212 00:12:07,525 --> 00:12:12,245 Speaker 1: of like stress and trauma and so like some like 213 00:12:12,325 --> 00:12:14,765 Speaker 1: around this time, I was watching TV and there was 214 00:12:14,765 --> 00:12:18,085 Speaker 1: like this story about how like the reason you forget 215 00:12:18,125 --> 00:12:20,925 Speaker 1: when you drink too much is because sleep is what 216 00:12:21,125 --> 00:12:23,525 Speaker 1: stores your memories, and so if you drink too much, 217 00:12:23,565 --> 00:12:27,165 Speaker 1: you're not getting that deep rim the right kind of sleep, 218 00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:30,125 Speaker 1: so your brain is just not making those memories. Therefore 219 00:12:30,165 --> 00:12:33,405 Speaker 1: you forget. Okay, So I think the same thing with kids. 220 00:12:33,485 --> 00:12:35,805 Speaker 1: So this probably is going to be very controversial, but 221 00:12:35,845 --> 00:12:39,725 Speaker 1: like so as rat torture, so whatever, why people don't 222 00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:42,885 Speaker 1: actually care about children, It's just about animals, right right right, 223 00:12:43,405 --> 00:12:45,925 Speaker 1: So okay, you're so tired when you have a kid 224 00:12:46,125 --> 00:12:48,805 Speaker 1: that you forget how hard it is to have a newborn, 225 00:12:49,085 --> 00:12:52,685 Speaker 1: Like you're just you're not making that memory of like, wow, 226 00:12:52,725 --> 00:12:54,445 Speaker 1: that was really hard, Like I don't ever want to 227 00:12:54,765 --> 00:12:57,485 Speaker 1: Like I imagine there are times I don't have a child, obviously, 228 00:12:57,525 --> 00:13:00,445 Speaker 1: but I imagine there are times where you're like, this 229 00:13:00,485 --> 00:13:02,165 Speaker 1: is too hard. I don't ever want to do this again. 230 00:13:02,405 --> 00:13:04,925 Speaker 1: You know. Wow, that's actually true though, because I was 231 00:13:04,925 --> 00:13:08,125 Speaker 1: talking to my friends. My friend was talking about her 232 00:13:08,165 --> 00:13:12,245 Speaker 1: sister who has had children, and she's like she would 233 00:13:12,285 --> 00:13:14,245 Speaker 1: pop another one out, like if she could right now, 234 00:13:14,445 --> 00:13:17,325 Speaker 1: and because she literally doesn't remember how like difficult it 235 00:13:17,445 --> 00:13:19,365 Speaker 1: was at the start, and then she just is like, oh, 236 00:13:19,405 --> 00:13:21,245 Speaker 1: I want another one, and then go through the entire 237 00:13:21,525 --> 00:13:24,965 Speaker 1: cycle again exactly. So you're so sleep deprived that you 238 00:13:25,125 --> 00:13:27,765 Speaker 1: forget how hard it is, Like I swear to God, 239 00:13:27,845 --> 00:13:30,125 Speaker 1: every like there no one would have more than one 240 00:13:30,205 --> 00:13:33,005 Speaker 1: child if they actually got the proper amount of sleep 241 00:13:33,005 --> 00:13:35,565 Speaker 1: and remembered, if they could like really take it in. Yeah, 242 00:13:36,165 --> 00:13:41,405 Speaker 1: So that's my that's my weird theory about how no 243 00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:44,565 Speaker 1: one would have multiple children if you actually were able 244 00:13:44,605 --> 00:13:51,445 Speaker 1: to sleep. So I'm just playing women are dumb, um. Well, 245 00:13:52,205 --> 00:13:56,365 Speaker 1: I love a good theory. Taylor You're welcome. Yes, But 246 00:13:57,085 --> 00:13:59,005 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna I'm gonna flip it a little bit 247 00:13:59,045 --> 00:14:02,485 Speaker 1: because I did come across this condition called fatal familial 248 00:14:02,525 --> 00:14:07,445 Speaker 1: insomnia or FI, which is basically it's this condition where 249 00:14:07,445 --> 00:14:12,205 Speaker 1: people literally just stop sleeping. It's not insomnia or like, 250 00:14:12,605 --> 00:14:15,285 Speaker 1: it's just literally or like, you know, just getting distracted 251 00:14:15,325 --> 00:14:17,525 Speaker 1: and so you don't fall asleep. It's literally their body 252 00:14:17,645 --> 00:14:19,805 Speaker 1: is just like they're just not going to sleep. And 253 00:14:19,885 --> 00:14:23,325 Speaker 1: it's the super rare genetic condition where the body is 254 00:14:23,365 --> 00:14:25,725 Speaker 1: just like, Nope, no more sleep, I don't do it anymore. 255 00:14:26,525 --> 00:14:29,245 Speaker 1: It's so rare that there's only twenty eight families that 256 00:14:29,325 --> 00:14:33,205 Speaker 1: have this genetic mutation. Keep them away from me. I 257 00:14:33,245 --> 00:14:35,765 Speaker 1: love my sleep. I'm not reproducing with any of those 258 00:14:35,765 --> 00:14:40,285 Speaker 1: people in those families, I know. So they're it's fine, 259 00:14:40,565 --> 00:14:44,285 Speaker 1: well they basically by fifty yes. But what happens is 260 00:14:44,285 --> 00:14:47,565 Speaker 1: is there's this protein that mutates and it makes the 261 00:14:47,645 --> 00:14:51,005 Speaker 1: proteins in your brain fold in all these weird ways 262 00:14:51,045 --> 00:14:53,805 Speaker 1: and makes these holes in your brain, which is kind 263 00:14:53,845 --> 00:14:57,405 Speaker 1: of similar to mad cow disease apparently. But basically what 264 00:14:57,445 --> 00:15:00,245 Speaker 1: happens once you're diagnosed, like you will die within the 265 00:15:00,325 --> 00:15:04,805 Speaker 1: year and the symptom. Yeah, it's crazy. Oh my gosh. 266 00:15:04,845 --> 00:15:07,525 Speaker 1: The symptom are really weird and kind of jarring. They're 267 00:15:07,525 --> 00:15:09,405 Speaker 1: just kind of like random, like one day you're kind 268 00:15:09,405 --> 00:15:11,125 Speaker 1: of good and then the next you're like, Okay, my 269 00:15:11,165 --> 00:15:14,005 Speaker 1: pupils are really small, I'm sweating a lot. My speech 270 00:15:14,085 --> 00:15:19,365 Speaker 1: is really weird, memory problems, muscle weakness, involuntary muscle spasms, 271 00:15:19,445 --> 00:15:24,965 Speaker 1: kind of like Parkinson's fever, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, 272 00:15:25,565 --> 00:15:33,885 Speaker 1: increased production of tears. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So basically 273 00:15:33,965 --> 00:15:36,165 Speaker 1: it's like your body just like falls apart and there's 274 00:15:36,205 --> 00:15:39,245 Speaker 1: no treatment like right now. But like I said, it's 275 00:15:39,285 --> 00:15:42,805 Speaker 1: super rare and it's genetic. So the odds are there's 276 00:15:42,805 --> 00:15:44,845 Speaker 1: only twenty eight families out there that we know of 277 00:15:44,925 --> 00:15:49,245 Speaker 1: the habit. They can't they can't like, um, put you 278 00:15:49,725 --> 00:15:55,845 Speaker 1: down for no, like put you down for eight hours, 279 00:15:55,925 --> 00:15:58,725 Speaker 1: so your body is forced to rest. No, That's what 280 00:15:58,765 --> 00:16:00,845 Speaker 1: I'm saying, is your body your brain, like there's something 281 00:16:00,885 --> 00:16:03,165 Speaker 1: whatever the protein and your brain does it. Like you 282 00:16:03,205 --> 00:16:05,445 Speaker 1: just you don't sleep. You can't do it. It's impossible, 283 00:16:06,885 --> 00:16:09,125 Speaker 1: Like I don't even I mean I don't. That's interesting 284 00:16:09,165 --> 00:16:11,125 Speaker 1: if you like you're saying like if they put you 285 00:16:11,165 --> 00:16:14,765 Speaker 1: on our anesthesia. Yes, yeah, I don't know. I don't 286 00:16:14,805 --> 00:16:18,205 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I kind of feel like noum 287 00:16:18,765 --> 00:16:22,045 Speaker 1: based on your scientific conclusion. It's like the proteins are 288 00:16:22,085 --> 00:16:25,405 Speaker 1: stronger than melatonin, which is easy to do. Honestly, Melotone 289 00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:28,445 Speaker 1: is kind of like a pussy drug for like insomniacs. Honestly, 290 00:16:29,605 --> 00:16:32,925 Speaker 1: what's your favorite insomnia drug, Gabby? Or is it like 291 00:16:33,405 --> 00:16:36,045 Speaker 1: to talk about I started taking melatonein guys. It is great. 292 00:16:36,285 --> 00:16:38,045 Speaker 1: I love well. I do take melotone, but I think 293 00:16:38,445 --> 00:16:41,165 Speaker 1: they don't know how long you should. You shouldn't take 294 00:16:41,205 --> 00:16:43,645 Speaker 1: it as long as I've been taking it. But not 295 00:16:43,725 --> 00:16:46,405 Speaker 1: to brag I'm crazy, um, but I used to take 296 00:16:46,525 --> 00:16:49,845 Speaker 1: Ambien in college when I was really bad. And let 297 00:16:49,885 --> 00:16:54,005 Speaker 1: me tell you, Ambien is so lit because I would 298 00:16:54,005 --> 00:16:56,405 Speaker 1: take it and I would stay awake to see like 299 00:16:56,405 --> 00:16:57,925 Speaker 1: how long I could stay awake, and I would just 300 00:16:57,965 --> 00:17:00,685 Speaker 1: like I would hallucinate. It was pretty fun. That is 301 00:17:00,725 --> 00:17:04,365 Speaker 1: so dangerous exactly, Like you have to have sleep, like 302 00:17:05,085 --> 00:17:07,325 Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't necessarily know why, but we 303 00:17:07,405 --> 00:17:09,565 Speaker 1: know that, like you just have to have sleep like 304 00:17:09,645 --> 00:17:12,845 Speaker 1: the most that you can. Like Okay, So I have 305 00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:16,725 Speaker 1: this book and I was reading it, m bragging you 306 00:17:16,805 --> 00:17:23,965 Speaker 1: read I read a book and too. Yeah, it's called 307 00:17:24,165 --> 00:17:26,405 Speaker 1: what really Happens if you get swallowed by a whale 308 00:17:26,485 --> 00:17:29,085 Speaker 1: or shot from a cannon or go barreling over dagra 309 00:17:29,245 --> 00:17:35,365 Speaker 1: and then you're dead. Yeah. So basically they were like, 310 00:17:35,685 --> 00:17:42,005 Speaker 1: if you have the option to sleep or um, what 311 00:17:42,125 --> 00:17:46,885 Speaker 1: was it? Why is my brain not processing this? Basically? Yeah, exactly. 312 00:17:47,325 --> 00:17:51,125 Speaker 1: Basically it's it says like, if you choose choose, can 313 00:17:51,205 --> 00:17:56,245 Speaker 1: choose hunger over sleep deprivation, choose to be hungry, like, 314 00:17:56,365 --> 00:18:00,405 Speaker 1: always go to sleep instead because it's less it's it 315 00:18:00,565 --> 00:18:07,645 Speaker 1: is a less painful I mean dinner, so it's all miserable. Um. 316 00:18:07,885 --> 00:18:11,285 Speaker 1: But my last theory that I will leave you guys with, 317 00:18:11,485 --> 00:18:14,365 Speaker 1: which this is something that I very strongly believe in, 318 00:18:15,085 --> 00:18:20,125 Speaker 1: is invest in your bed. Okay, here's what. Nika's rolling 319 00:18:20,125 --> 00:18:22,325 Speaker 1: her eyes because she's heard me say this.

Um when we come back, you know, more 349 00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:51,605 Speaker 1: sleep talk, Oh more pillow talk, but not in a 350 00:19:51,645 --> 00:19:57,965 Speaker 1: sexy way, unless you think death is sexy, right, welcome back? 351 00:19:58,045 --> 00:20:01,445 Speaker 1: You know that? As people would say, Um, I don't 352 00:20:01,445 --> 00:20:03,605 Speaker 1: know whe that came from, Gabby. I have a question 353 00:20:03,645 --> 00:20:06,245 Speaker 1: before we dive into my tangent. What was the weirdest 354 00:20:06,245 --> 00:20:10,045 Speaker 1: hallucination that you saw when you were on Ambient? Oh okay, 355 00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:13,725 Speaker 1: so I would like hallucinate feelings, so I would like 356 00:20:13,805 --> 00:20:16,645 Speaker 1: I felt. I was convinced whenever I would take Ambient, 357 00:20:17,005 --> 00:20:20,445 Speaker 1: I was convinced that I had these like guardian angels. 358 00:20:20,445 --> 00:20:23,845 Speaker 1: But what they were was that they were fairies and 359 00:20:23,885 --> 00:20:27,045 Speaker 1: they had they were like autumnal themed fairies. So they 360 00:20:27,085 --> 00:20:30,845 Speaker 1: had like like leaves, like fall leaves, like as wings, 361 00:20:30,885 --> 00:20:32,885 Speaker 1: and I didn't I never saw them, but I knew 362 00:20:32,885 --> 00:20:35,965 Speaker 1: they were there. Oh my gosh, okay, wait, we believe 363 00:20:36,005 --> 00:20:39,885 Speaker 1: in the Faye on this podcast. We believe in them, 364 00:20:40,085 --> 00:20:42,925 Speaker 1: So that's amazing. Wow. I thought it was gonna be 365 00:20:43,005 --> 00:20:45,765 Speaker 1: creepy because you usually are creepy, but now it was 366 00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:51,365 Speaker 1: my autumnal themed fairies that looked over me. I'm gonna cry. 367 00:20:51,685 --> 00:20:55,405 Speaker 1: Oh okay, But also I was probably taking too much 368 00:20:55,445 --> 00:20:59,725 Speaker 1: sleep medication, so I wouldn't say it's cute. Do you 369 00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:03,325 Speaker 1: still think they're with you? Um? I know I forgot 370 00:21:03,365 --> 00:21:07,885 Speaker 1: about them because, you know, I realized that I didn't 371 00:21:07,885 --> 00:21:10,445 Speaker 1: need to be as stressed out all the time. By that, 372 00:21:10,565 --> 00:21:12,565 Speaker 1: I mean I still am, but in a different way, 373 00:21:12,645 --> 00:21:14,445 Speaker 1: but in a way that I sleep a little bit 374 00:21:14,485 --> 00:21:18,045 Speaker 1: more now. So I don't think about the autumnal themed fairies, 375 00:21:18,085 --> 00:21:20,525 Speaker 1: but I do like to think that I like being 376 00:21:20,525 --> 00:21:24,885 Speaker 1: reminded that they're there, you know, I remind you so sweet? Yeah, 377 00:21:24,925 --> 00:21:28,125 Speaker 1: I love this. Okay, well, thank you for that. So 378 00:21:28,725 --> 00:21:31,885 Speaker 1: obviously we've learned the dangers of not letting your peepers rest. 379 00:21:32,005 --> 00:21:35,245 Speaker 1: That is scary stuff. I am scared for myself right 380 00:21:35,285 --> 00:21:37,405 Speaker 1: now because my eyes are lit to really closing. But 381 00:21:37,805 --> 00:21:40,285 Speaker 1: if you are like me and you enjoy sleep, you 382 00:21:40,405 --> 00:21:42,725 Speaker 1: enjoy a nap, you enjoy closing your eyes and just 383 00:21:42,765 --> 00:21:45,765 Speaker 1: taking a fucking break from the world, or like sometimes 384 00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:47,605 Speaker 1: I do the same with glasses. If I'm wearing glasses 385 00:21:47,605 --> 00:21:52,325 Speaker 1: and I just have seen enough. I'll just take them off. Yeah, literally, 386 00:21:53,605 --> 00:21:55,885 Speaker 1: are you in danger too? Like is that bad for you? 387 00:21:56,165 --> 00:22:00,565 Speaker 1: The answer is yes. So, according to asshole researchers, if 388 00:22:00,605 --> 00:22:04,205 Speaker 1: you sleep more than hours a night, you are probably 389 00:22:04,205 --> 00:22:07,165 Speaker 1: depressed and poor. I'm not kidding. They literally are like 390 00:22:07,365 --> 00:22:11,925 Speaker 1: depression and low socioeconomic status, and I feel personally attacked. 391 00:22:12,405 --> 00:22:16,845 Speaker 1: And the idea from that, you know, mean theory is 392 00:22:16,885 --> 00:22:19,925 Speaker 1: that people who maybe don't have access to healthcare. Hey, 393 00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:24,005 Speaker 1: who's uninsured raise your hand? Or who maybe they just 394 00:22:24,045 --> 00:22:26,645 Speaker 1: don't get like routine checkups, they seem to have more 395 00:22:26,725 --> 00:22:29,445 Speaker 1: undiagnosed illnesses and then they try to like just you know, 396 00:22:29,525 --> 00:22:33,005 Speaker 1: quote unquote sleep it off, which I really hate how 397 00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:36,565 Speaker 1: like strongly this is hitting me. And then obviously depressed 398 00:22:36,565 --> 00:22:39,765 Speaker 1: people have less energy slash motivation, which causes them to 399 00:22:39,765 --> 00:22:43,485 Speaker 1: sleep more. Obviously, so those are like two things that 400 00:22:43,565 --> 00:22:46,605 Speaker 1: oversleeping can lead to. Slash might be the cause of 401 00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:49,605 Speaker 1: hate to say it, researchers are probably right. And they 402 00:22:49,685 --> 00:22:53,925 Speaker 1: also found out that oversleeping constantly, usually from like a 403 00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:58,165 Speaker 1: medical situation, could actually lead to type two diabetes by 404 00:22:58,205 --> 00:23:02,525 Speaker 1: making your body more insulin resistant. Like what the heck, 405 00:23:02,605 --> 00:23:05,325 Speaker 1: I'm mad. Also, more than nine hours a night is 406 00:23:05,565 --> 00:23:08,365 Speaker 1: like not insane. I like to get like eight to 407 00:23:08,445 --> 00:23:10,565 Speaker 1: nine hours. So like, am I gonna die? Well, we're 408 00:23:10,605 --> 00:23:12,805 Speaker 1: all gonna die at the end, but in the end, 409 00:23:13,245 --> 00:23:15,605 Speaker 1: in the end, we're all gonna die. Also, we'll be 410 00:23:15,645 --> 00:23:20,645 Speaker 1: well rusted, right, I mean yeah. When people be like 411 00:23:21,045 --> 00:23:23,685 Speaker 1: you sleep when you're dead, I'm like, fuck off, bitch, 412 00:23:23,805 --> 00:23:26,485 Speaker 1: Like I don't want my life to be bad by 413 00:23:26,525 --> 00:23:29,605 Speaker 1: being tired. It's true. It's true. Like people who go 414 00:23:29,645 --> 00:23:33,085 Speaker 1: on like benders. I'm just like, listen, when I'm at 415 00:23:33,125 --> 00:23:36,365 Speaker 1: the club, one am rolls around, twelve am rolls around, 416 00:23:36,365 --> 00:23:40,565 Speaker 1: and I'm like, um, it's been real nice. The happy 417 00:23:40,565 --> 00:23:42,765 Speaker 1: hour drinks are over, Like I got in for free 418 00:23:42,765 --> 00:23:44,725 Speaker 1: because I came out at ten, Like I'm ready to go, 419 00:23:45,005 --> 00:23:46,565 Speaker 1: you know, It's just I'm ready to wrap it up. 420 00:23:46,565 --> 00:23:49,645 Speaker 1: I'm ready to be in bed anyway. Yeah, I'll still 421 00:23:49,765 --> 00:23:53,125 Speaker 1: go to the club here, we're big club club gang. 422 00:23:53,205 --> 00:23:57,565 Speaker 1: I'm like, ten o'clock rolls around, where's my melotonin? I 423 00:23:57,685 --> 00:24:00,205 Speaker 1: love it, Gosh, I love a ten o'clock bedtime. Okay, 424 00:24:00,405 --> 00:24:03,605 Speaker 1: that's actually my plan tonight to go to bed at ten. Also, 425 00:24:03,805 --> 00:24:07,645 Speaker 1: oversleeping could make you more likely to be obese. And 426 00:24:07,685 --> 00:24:11,085 Speaker 1: then because you're more likely to be obese, apparently, it 427 00:24:11,125 --> 00:24:16,725 Speaker 1: could make you more likely to suffer from heart disease. Literally, 428 00:24:16,765 --> 00:24:21,445 Speaker 1: it's insane, okay, And there's and there's more. There's more. Apparently, 429 00:24:22,245 --> 00:24:24,885 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, people who reported that they were sleeping 430 00:24:24,965 --> 00:24:27,965 Speaker 1: nine hours or more per night, we're twenty three percent 431 00:24:28,085 --> 00:24:32,005 Speaker 1: more likely to suffer from a stroke. We I can't win, 432 00:24:32,525 --> 00:24:35,045 Speaker 1: I cannot win. But those are just people sleeping in 433 00:24:35,085 --> 00:24:37,525 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. It's a different year. It's a different situation. 434 00:24:37,965 --> 00:24:39,605 Speaker 1: You're gonna die of a lot of other things. Now, 435 00:24:40,605 --> 00:24:43,565 Speaker 1: there's so many, so many more reasons to die. Um 436 00:24:43,605 --> 00:24:53,845 Speaker 1: also ways, you don't know what I meant? Okay, I 437 00:24:53,885 --> 00:24:56,005 Speaker 1: have I have just one more. And this one is 438 00:24:56,045 --> 00:24:57,565 Speaker 1: like a little bit of a stretch. I mean in 439 00:24:57,685 --> 00:25:01,005 Speaker 1: my brain, I'm like, are these male research ours? But 440 00:25:01,445 --> 00:25:04,485 Speaker 1: apparent what are you about? Get ready? Get ready for this? 441 00:25:04,685 --> 00:25:10,405 Speaker 1: Get ready. Researchers believe that when the circadian rhythm is disrupted, 442 00:25:10,405 --> 00:25:13,725 Speaker 1: which is the sleep rhythm or the sleep cycle, women's 443 00:25:13,725 --> 00:25:15,885 Speaker 1: internal clock, which is the one that has to do 444 00:25:15,885 --> 00:25:18,125 Speaker 1: with fertility and opulation and all that yummy stuff, is 445 00:25:18,165 --> 00:25:26,965 Speaker 1: also disrupted. So causing basically infertility. Oh women crazy, yes, 446 00:25:27,285 --> 00:25:30,525 Speaker 1: but like I feel like they could use this for 447 00:25:30,685 --> 00:25:33,285 Speaker 1: oversleep or for undersleep, like this is all a stretch 448 00:25:33,605 --> 00:25:36,245 Speaker 1: and then um yeah, and then the last one is 449 00:25:36,285 --> 00:25:39,565 Speaker 1: apparently oversleeping has also been linked to the classic big bad, 450 00:25:40,285 --> 00:25:45,445 Speaker 1: which is death. M Um, just yeah, I still, I 451 00:25:45,525 --> 00:25:48,645 Speaker 1: just this conversation makes me want to take a nap. 452 00:25:48,845 --> 00:25:51,725 Speaker 1: I know that that's not how that I should be reacting. 453 00:25:51,845 --> 00:25:53,685 Speaker 1: I should be like, oh, I should go be active. 454 00:25:54,285 --> 00:25:59,325 Speaker 1: So boring. No, hey, okay, Gabby, do you have something better? Well, 455 00:25:59,365 --> 00:26:03,685 Speaker 1: you better because your story, well, Nica, I guess I 456 00:26:03,685 --> 00:26:07,685 Speaker 1: will do my story now if that's all right with you, Um, 457 00:26:07,725 --> 00:26:10,325 Speaker 1: that would be fine with me. I think I can 458 00:26:10,365 --> 00:26:13,845 Speaker 1: approve that. Yeah. Great. Um. It's going to be mostly 459 00:26:13,845 --> 00:26:16,525 Speaker 1: a series of fun facts, and starting with the funnest fact, 460 00:26:16,645 --> 00:26:19,285 Speaker 1: which is, um, actually this is not fun at all 461 00:26:19,325 --> 00:26:21,885 Speaker 1: what I'm about to say. But in twenty fourteen, we're 462 00:26:21,885 --> 00:26:27,245 Speaker 1: in Niger, Africa, okay, and there is a boat of 463 00:26:27,445 --> 00:26:32,085 Speaker 1: twelve school children ages twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and they were 464 00:26:32,085 --> 00:26:35,205 Speaker 1: on a little river tour and all of a sudden 465 00:26:35,245 --> 00:26:39,565 Speaker 1: their boat on the river was attacked and then it 466 00:26:39,605 --> 00:26:45,885 Speaker 1: was capsized and they all died or literally what kind 467 00:26:45,925 --> 00:26:49,125 Speaker 1: of door are you doing? Like, yeah, what is happening 468 00:26:49,165 --> 00:26:53,685 Speaker 1: any more? The end? The end? Okay, no, well, so 469 00:26:53,725 --> 00:26:55,885 Speaker 1: what happened was that they were attacked by a hippo 470 00:26:56,645 --> 00:27:00,365 Speaker 1: and a hippo capsized their boat and then they either 471 00:27:00,445 --> 00:27:02,485 Speaker 1: drowned or also got attacked by the hippo and the 472 00:27:02,565 --> 00:27:07,325 Speaker 1: hippo done bit them. So is that a terrible story? 473 00:27:07,365 --> 00:27:11,645 Speaker 1: It's terro it's very sad, and it's actually the crazy. Okay, 474 00:27:11,725 --> 00:27:15,125 Speaker 1: So hippos, Okay, I'm sorry I'm saying this so cavalierly, 475 00:27:15,685 --> 00:27:18,085 Speaker 1: but there was also not as much detail about the stories, 476 00:27:18,245 --> 00:27:20,645 Speaker 1: just like this terrible thing happened, and then it's like, 477 00:27:20,685 --> 00:27:24,005 Speaker 1: oh shit, yeah that is terrible. But you know, hippos 478 00:27:24,085 --> 00:27:27,445 Speaker 1: are you know, one of the most dangerous animals out there. 479 00:27:27,485 --> 00:27:30,165 Speaker 1: They you know, they say anywhere from like five hundred 480 00:27:30,205 --> 00:27:33,005 Speaker 1: to three thousand people die every year from a hippo attack. 481 00:27:33,685 --> 00:27:39,445 Speaker 1: And even it's crazy how COVID has actually increased hippo 482 00:27:39,485 --> 00:27:44,005 Speaker 1: attacks and certain parts of Africa for example, So basically 483 00:27:44,165 --> 00:27:46,445 Speaker 1: with COVID, like there's this one place in Kenya where 484 00:27:46,485 --> 00:27:49,365 Speaker 1: a lot of the money that they make is by 485 00:27:49,565 --> 00:27:53,845 Speaker 1: farming and exporting flowers, and because of COVID it's usually 486 00:27:53,845 --> 00:27:56,405 Speaker 1: the Europe A lot of Europeans, you know, weren't buying flowers, 487 00:27:56,405 --> 00:27:58,365 Speaker 1: so they lost a lot of the money. But they 488 00:27:58,445 --> 00:28:01,805 Speaker 1: usually make off of sending exporting products to Europe. So 489 00:28:01,845 --> 00:28:03,845 Speaker 1: what ended up happening is a lot more people had 490 00:28:03,885 --> 00:28:07,085 Speaker 1: to you know, become fishermen or you know, to actually 491 00:28:07,085 --> 00:28:08,885 Speaker 1: had to fish to just stay in their families instead 492 00:28:08,885 --> 00:28:12,045 Speaker 1: of just like buying food and so. But also maybe 493 00:28:12,085 --> 00:28:13,965 Speaker 1: because of climate change, but also just because of like 494 00:28:14,045 --> 00:28:17,005 Speaker 1: um weather patterns. There's this one like that then became 495 00:28:17,085 --> 00:28:20,445 Speaker 1: over flooded more like more water than usual, So there's 496 00:28:20,485 --> 00:28:23,325 Speaker 1: more hippos. And then also they were fishing. There's just 497 00:28:23,485 --> 00:28:27,645 Speaker 1: more people fishing, and then the hippos. Hippos are very territorial, 498 00:28:28,085 --> 00:28:30,605 Speaker 1: so with more people fishing, there's more people who have 499 00:28:30,645 --> 00:28:34,125 Speaker 1: been attacked and killed by hippos because of COVID. Wow, 500 00:28:34,245 --> 00:28:38,965 Speaker 1: and climate change a little bit unintended consequences. Yeah, so 501 00:28:39,525 --> 00:28:47,485 Speaker 1: of eating a bat, of eating a bad bad boy. Um, anyway, 502 00:28:47,645 --> 00:28:51,925 Speaker 1: it was God, it was good. But I'm mad because 503 00:28:52,005 --> 00:28:57,525 Speaker 1: hippos are so cute, you know. I well, Western media 504 00:28:57,605 --> 00:29:00,325 Speaker 1: would have you believe that they're so cute just because 505 00:29:00,365 --> 00:29:02,885 Speaker 1: they look like they basically look like they're made out 506 00:29:02,885 --> 00:29:05,085 Speaker 1: of bubbles. You know, they just are like wrote ton 507 00:29:05,765 --> 00:29:08,925 Speaker 1: and then there's like fucking Fantasia. We all saw those 508 00:29:09,005 --> 00:29:13,005 Speaker 1: hippos that were ballerinas and we were like, We're like, wow, 509 00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:16,645 Speaker 1: look at those big ladies getting in looking good. I 510 00:29:16,765 --> 00:29:21,445 Speaker 1: thought that hippos were pink and they're not another like 511 00:29:21,925 --> 00:29:29,045 Speaker 1: gray baby baby hippos. That's my that's my um. Adding 512 00:29:29,085 --> 00:29:32,045 Speaker 1: to the conversation, I just love them. They're so cute. 513 00:29:32,045 --> 00:29:35,365 Speaker 1: It's so frustrating. Yeah, and they're like, you know, we 514 00:29:35,445 --> 00:29:37,285 Speaker 1: talked about pigs and I was talking about how they're 515 00:29:37,325 --> 00:29:40,325 Speaker 1: all big daddies and ship, but you know, hippos extra 516 00:29:40,405 --> 00:29:42,805 Speaker 1: thick daddies because they can get up to like ten 517 00:29:42,885 --> 00:29:50,165 Speaker 1: thousand pounds that like like three cars. That's insane. I 518 00:29:50,285 --> 00:29:54,365 Speaker 1: know that someone had a sexual awakening at the Madagascar 519 00:29:54,845 --> 00:30:04,765 Speaker 1: hippo guy at the Lake Modo. Someone not me. I 520 00:30:04,805 --> 00:30:07,805 Speaker 1: actually found it super uncomfy, but I'm sure someone did. 521 00:30:08,045 --> 00:30:12,445 Speaker 1: It was very uncomfy. I hated it. Um okay, gappy, 522 00:30:12,525 --> 00:30:18,245 Speaker 1: is that your entire story? That the end? Yeah? Okay again, 523 00:30:18,285 --> 00:30:21,765 Speaker 1: I'm doing fun fox the closest related species to a hippo. 524 00:30:22,245 --> 00:30:24,725 Speaker 1: It's not like a rhino or an elephant. It's a whale. 525 00:30:25,485 --> 00:30:29,245 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Oh, I'm just gonna say, is 526 00:30:29,285 --> 00:30:33,845 Speaker 1: that a hippo? Though? They are just like very territorial creatures, okay, 527 00:30:33,845 --> 00:30:36,765 Speaker 1: and that's why they're attacking people. But they also you know, 528 00:30:36,805 --> 00:30:39,325 Speaker 1: for example, like when boats go over them, a lottimes, 529 00:30:39,365 --> 00:30:43,045 Speaker 1: fishermen and you know, other boating folks, they'll like, you know, 530 00:30:43,165 --> 00:30:45,525 Speaker 1: kind of like poke around the water because like a 531 00:30:45,565 --> 00:30:48,245 Speaker 1: lot oftimes, hippos are just underneath the surface, like grazing 532 00:30:48,285 --> 00:30:50,525 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the river, and they will just 533 00:30:50,645 --> 00:30:54,365 Speaker 1: pop the fuck out. Isn't that sorry? I would never 534 00:30:54,485 --> 00:30:57,605 Speaker 1: do genuine I would never go anywhere near a hippos 535 00:30:57,645 --> 00:31:01,645 Speaker 1: area ever. No, I know it's hippos than like crocodiles 536 00:31:01,725 --> 00:31:04,965 Speaker 1: or alligators or anything like that. I think hippos are terrifying. 537 00:31:05,005 --> 00:31:07,725 Speaker 1: Crocodile files are only responsible for maybe like one hundred 538 00:31:07,725 --> 00:31:09,965 Speaker 1: deaths in Africa every year, and hippos are like five 539 00:31:10,085 --> 00:31:14,765 Speaker 1: hundred to three thousands. Bananas absolutely not, absolutely not. And 540 00:31:15,045 --> 00:31:17,965 Speaker 1: also then some studies it's like basically if a hippo 541 00:31:18,085 --> 00:31:21,285 Speaker 1: bites you there is an eighty seven percent chance that 542 00:31:21,325 --> 00:31:23,245 Speaker 1: you'll die from it, where a crocodile it's more like 543 00:31:23,285 --> 00:31:26,485 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent chance. Also, the study also says 544 00:31:26,485 --> 00:31:29,045 Speaker 1: the lower end is a twenty seven percent chance for hippos, 545 00:31:29,045 --> 00:31:31,325 Speaker 1: but that stat is not as exciting. It's only a 546 00:31:31,325 --> 00:31:35,085 Speaker 1: two percent different with crocodiles, but still fatal, not as exciting. 547 00:31:35,405 --> 00:31:39,765 Speaker 1: What is the hip like there? Um? Oh my gosh, 548 00:31:39,765 --> 00:31:41,885 Speaker 1: what am I trying to say? They're incisors? Their teeth 549 00:31:42,765 --> 00:31:45,845 Speaker 1: I was gonna say their their bite is like yeah, 550 00:31:45,925 --> 00:31:47,605 Speaker 1: they can open up to like one hundred and eighty 551 00:31:47,605 --> 00:31:50,845 Speaker 1: degrees and like it's so much force and pressure. I 552 00:31:50,845 --> 00:31:52,805 Speaker 1: think it's like ten times the strength of like our 553 00:31:52,925 --> 00:31:55,205 Speaker 1: human jaws, which doesn't actually stund because my jaws I 554 00:31:55,205 --> 00:31:57,605 Speaker 1: got a weak jaw. Not to brag, but I'm a 555 00:31:57,685 --> 00:32:02,205 Speaker 1: dainty female. I've just found on the internet a hippocage 556 00:32:02,245 --> 00:32:07,285 Speaker 1: diving experience in No, um, we're in Africa one second, 557 00:32:07,565 --> 00:32:09,965 Speaker 1: so I don't mind. I do not want to do that. Well, well, 558 00:32:10,005 --> 00:32:12,245 Speaker 1: wait till you see what the country is, okay, because 559 00:32:12,285 --> 00:32:14,285 Speaker 1: maybe you will want to know. It doesn't matter what 560 00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:18,605 Speaker 1: country I would send the Okavongo River Thoughts guys, thoughts. 561 00:32:19,085 --> 00:32:22,085 Speaker 1: I do not want to swim with hippos. It better 562 00:32:22,125 --> 00:32:25,125 Speaker 1: be a thick ass cage, That's all I'm saying. Yes, 563 00:32:25,245 --> 00:32:30,085 Speaker 1: it's hippo and crocodile diving. No people do this. I mean. 564 00:32:30,085 --> 00:32:32,165 Speaker 1: It's funny though, because like with shark deaths, which we've 565 00:32:32,205 --> 00:32:34,885 Speaker 1: we've talked about, We've talked about everything. It's like only 566 00:32:34,925 --> 00:32:37,485 Speaker 1: ten people a year I think die from like shark attacks, 567 00:32:37,485 --> 00:32:40,885 Speaker 1: but hippos, it's so many more, you know, And like anyway, 568 00:32:41,285 --> 00:32:44,445 Speaker 1: I'm scared. I think that a hippo though, a hippo 569 00:32:44,525 --> 00:32:47,005 Speaker 1: mouth would be a great place to cradle a baby 570 00:32:47,045 --> 00:32:50,285 Speaker 1: because they're so round. Don't put your baby in a 571 00:32:50,325 --> 00:32:55,805 Speaker 1: hippo's mouth, don't you dare. Don't you dare. That's not 572 00:32:55,805 --> 00:32:58,525 Speaker 1: where you put a baby. I literally physically can't get pregnant, 573 00:32:58,525 --> 00:33:01,485 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. That's good because I haven't aud 574 00:33:04,125 --> 00:33:09,125 Speaker 1: Because are you going to a sad fertility journey? You know? No, 575 00:33:09,205 --> 00:33:11,645 Speaker 1: we're not doing that today. Oh but later we might 576 00:33:11,685 --> 00:33:16,805 Speaker 1: be talking about fortilitly Okay. So anyway, basically, if your 577 00:33:16,845 --> 00:33:18,765 Speaker 1: boat comes up on them and they're grazing at the 578 00:33:18,765 --> 00:33:21,005 Speaker 1: bottom of the river, they're gonna like they're gonna come 579 00:33:21,005 --> 00:33:24,925 Speaker 1: and get you. And basically hippo's technically can't swim, but 580 00:33:25,045 --> 00:33:28,525 Speaker 1: what they do do is they gallop and they use 581 00:33:28,565 --> 00:33:30,765 Speaker 1: the bottom of the river to like propel themselves as 582 00:33:30,765 --> 00:33:33,125 Speaker 1: they're just kind of like basically like an astronaut on 583 00:33:33,245 --> 00:33:36,165 Speaker 1: like ter the moon. It's kind of like how they move, 584 00:33:36,525 --> 00:33:39,365 Speaker 1: you know, they're just like but they can just come 585 00:33:39,405 --> 00:33:41,605 Speaker 1: the fuck up and they just like get on your boat. 586 00:33:41,645 --> 00:33:46,965 Speaker 1: And they're so heavy and Okay, the fact that you 587 00:33:47,085 --> 00:33:48,765 Speaker 1: see it as bouncing and I see it as like 588 00:33:49,085 --> 00:33:52,125 Speaker 1: trotting towards death, like it's like a death run, is 589 00:33:52,165 --> 00:33:54,805 Speaker 1: just like I don't understand. I know, I think it's 590 00:33:54,845 --> 00:33:56,765 Speaker 1: so cute, and come on, they've got to be like 591 00:33:56,965 --> 00:34:01,125 Speaker 1: very floaty, right, it probably looks silly when they're doing it, 592 00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:03,885 Speaker 1: so but then they will like kill you, so that's 593 00:34:03,885 --> 00:34:07,445 Speaker 1: not a silly I mean, I'm terrified of them. But yeah, 594 00:34:07,565 --> 00:34:09,885 Speaker 1: also it's like bad. I mean they can also even 595 00:34:09,885 --> 00:34:12,005 Speaker 1: though they got those little stubby legs, they can run 596 00:34:12,085 --> 00:34:14,925 Speaker 1: up to like twenty twenty five miles an hour. So 597 00:34:15,005 --> 00:34:18,005 Speaker 1: when you're on land and if you're between a hippo 598 00:34:18,085 --> 00:34:21,485 Speaker 1: and the water, it's gonna be like, get out, get 599 00:34:21,525 --> 00:34:23,725 Speaker 1: out the way, because they will travel, like, you know, 600 00:34:23,725 --> 00:34:27,165 Speaker 1: maybe a mile away from a body of water to 601 00:34:27,205 --> 00:34:30,405 Speaker 1: find other vegetation to eat. And so you know if 602 00:34:30,445 --> 00:34:32,125 Speaker 1: you're in the way. Also, if you're between a female 603 00:34:32,205 --> 00:34:34,285 Speaker 1: hippo and her baby, she's gonna get pissed and she's 604 00:34:34,285 --> 00:34:37,325 Speaker 1: gonna charge. Yeah. And then once they get you, they 605 00:34:37,365 --> 00:34:39,805 Speaker 1: they get you, and they get you. Do they eat you? 606 00:34:40,005 --> 00:34:43,525 Speaker 1: Do they trample you? Do? They just they bite you 607 00:34:43,565 --> 00:34:45,525 Speaker 1: a lot. So there's this one guy. I have this 608 00:34:45,565 --> 00:34:48,125 Speaker 1: one quote from a dude who got attacked, who survived 609 00:34:48,245 --> 00:34:51,685 Speaker 1: a hippo, and let me say it's he said, it 610 00:34:51,845 --> 00:34:54,085 Speaker 1: felt as if a bull was making full use of 611 00:34:54,125 --> 00:34:56,525 Speaker 1: the whole lot as he mauled me. A doctor later 612 00:34:56,565 --> 00:35:00,045 Speaker 1: counted almost forty puncture wounds and bite marks on my body. 613 00:35:00,285 --> 00:35:03,005 Speaker 1: The bull simply went berserk, throwing me into the air 614 00:35:03,045 --> 00:35:06,085 Speaker 1: and catching me again, shaking me like a dog with 615 00:35:06,165 --> 00:35:12,645 Speaker 1: a doll. That sounds but he doesn't eat. Well, yeah, 616 00:35:12,685 --> 00:35:15,725 Speaker 1: they are, they are vegetarians. But they have done some 617 00:35:15,765 --> 00:35:20,485 Speaker 1: studies where they have seen hippos eat meat. They have 618 00:35:20,605 --> 00:35:23,565 Speaker 1: done that. They've like scavenge. They've also there's been a 619 00:35:23,645 --> 00:35:29,685 Speaker 1: couple cases where scientists have stumbled across hippos eating other hippos, 620 00:35:29,685 --> 00:35:33,445 Speaker 1: like dead hippos, so they also are can be cannibalistic, 621 00:35:33,525 --> 00:35:36,085 Speaker 1: so that's very exciting. But hippos are weird because like 622 00:35:36,085 --> 00:35:38,685 Speaker 1: their bodies, the way that their teeth are is like 623 00:35:38,725 --> 00:35:41,205 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense that they eat vegetation because like 624 00:35:41,245 --> 00:35:43,205 Speaker 1: they can't pull with their teeth, they have to use 625 00:35:43,245 --> 00:35:46,685 Speaker 1: their lips. But then also they're you know, they're tuscred 626 00:35:46,725 --> 00:35:49,525 Speaker 1: mostly there their incisors are there for fighting. So also, 627 00:35:49,565 --> 00:35:52,005 Speaker 1: if you ever see a hippo that looks like it's yawning, 628 00:35:52,005 --> 00:35:54,365 Speaker 1: and it's yawning a bunth, that's it getting ready to 629 00:35:54,405 --> 00:35:56,565 Speaker 1: attack you, so like run the fuck away. And also 630 00:35:56,645 --> 00:36:01,485 Speaker 1: makes like a laughing sound, which is crazy so cute. 631 00:36:01,765 --> 00:36:05,085 Speaker 1: A hippo is a paradox. Yeah, anyway, all this in 632 00:36:05,725 --> 00:36:10,565 Speaker 1: style was just enormous exposition for another very short story anyway, 633 00:36:10,605 --> 00:36:12,805 Speaker 1: But obviously it would seem like a hippo would not 634 00:36:12,845 --> 00:36:15,245 Speaker 1: be a very great pet pet.

Yeah, yeah, we're 652 00:37:07,885 --> 00:37:12,565 Speaker 1: gonna do it. That's an abomination according to you, Jeff Bezos. 653 00:37:12,605 --> 00:37:15,245 Speaker 1: That's what I want from my birthday. Jeff Bezos. I 654 00:37:15,245 --> 00:37:16,765 Speaker 1: mean he's trying to get to say, how did you 655 00:37:16,805 --> 00:37:18,805 Speaker 1: see the fit that he was throwing recently? He was 656 00:37:18,845 --> 00:37:21,725 Speaker 1: like Elon Musk's company got the contract with NASA and 657 00:37:21,765 --> 00:37:23,645 Speaker 1: he's like, it's not fair. He literally said that he 658 00:37:23,765 --> 00:37:27,885 Speaker 1: sued NASA and was like, it's not fair. Guh Anyway, 659 00:37:27,965 --> 00:37:35,805 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is my boyfriend. Okay, um um anyway, okay, 660 00:37:36,245 --> 00:37:38,245 Speaker 1: not a good pet. But there was this dude in 661 00:37:38,285 --> 00:37:41,765 Speaker 1: South Africa. He was a farmer. His name was Marius 662 00:37:41,765 --> 00:37:45,485 Speaker 1: Els and in two thousand and five, there was another 663 00:37:45,565 --> 00:37:47,485 Speaker 1: farmer that had this hippo. But he was like, this 664 00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:49,645 Speaker 1: hippo was too big. I can't take care of this hippo. 665 00:37:49,765 --> 00:37:53,125 Speaker 1: So then Marius was like, I will take the hippo 666 00:37:53,325 --> 00:37:57,845 Speaker 1: and I will raise it. Okay. And Marius he loved 667 00:37:57,965 --> 00:38:02,325 Speaker 1: his hippo and he named his hippo Humphrey. Pretty cute okay, 668 00:38:03,045 --> 00:38:07,205 Speaker 1: um yeah, but end badly, I know. But then Marius 669 00:38:07,245 --> 00:38:11,405 Speaker 1: described their relationship as a father son relationship. They'd even 670 00:38:11,445 --> 00:38:16,445 Speaker 1: go out swimming in the river together and Marius would, yeah, 671 00:38:16,485 --> 00:38:19,605 Speaker 1: Marius would ride Humphrey like a horse, and then you know, 672 00:38:19,685 --> 00:38:22,725 Speaker 1: Humphrey would come when he was called. And then sometimes 673 00:38:22,725 --> 00:38:26,325 Speaker 1: Marius would like brush Humphreys big teeth and stuff. So 674 00:38:26,405 --> 00:38:28,685 Speaker 1: it was just very cute. He would he said this 675 00:38:28,725 --> 00:38:31,245 Speaker 1: one quote, he said, Humphreys like a son to me, 676 00:38:31,405 --> 00:38:34,765 Speaker 1: he's just like a human. There's a relationship between me 677 00:38:34,765 --> 00:38:37,445 Speaker 1: and Humphrey. And that's what some people don't understand. They 678 00:38:37,445 --> 00:38:39,685 Speaker 1: think you can only have a relationship with dogs, cats 679 00:38:39,685 --> 00:38:42,765 Speaker 1: and domesticated animals. But I have a relationship with the 680 00:38:42,805 --> 00:38:46,805 Speaker 1: most dangerous animal in Africa, which is actually fake because 681 00:38:46,845 --> 00:38:49,685 Speaker 1: the most dangerous animal in Africa is one mosquitoes and 682 00:38:49,725 --> 00:38:55,565 Speaker 1: then human. So anyway, that's really smart. Gubby mosquitoes. Yeah, 683 00:38:55,565 --> 00:38:59,125 Speaker 1: they kill like a million people every year. So hippo, 684 00:38:59,165 --> 00:39:00,605 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to step up your game if you 685 00:39:00,645 --> 00:39:04,005 Speaker 1: want to be the most dangerous Honestly, Oh peez. But 686 00:39:04,205 --> 00:39:09,325 Speaker 1: Marius came Covid then the hippo. But Marius, his wife 687 00:39:09,485 --> 00:39:12,565 Speaker 1: Louise was obviously kind of like, yo, I know you 688 00:39:12,645 --> 00:39:15,605 Speaker 1: love this hippo, but I don't think it's really the 689 00:39:15,605 --> 00:39:18,725 Speaker 1: best idea to have it. Because no matter how in 690 00:39:18,765 --> 00:39:21,205 Speaker 1: the media, because there's this viral photo of him writing 691 00:39:21,405 --> 00:39:23,485 Speaker 1: Humphrey and a lot of people saw it, he was like, 692 00:39:23,525 --> 00:39:25,885 Speaker 1: no matter how cool it looks or whatever, you know, 693 00:39:25,925 --> 00:39:29,365 Speaker 1: he does get into a lot of tomfoolery humphreedom. Like 694 00:39:29,925 --> 00:39:32,325 Speaker 1: Humphrey is kind of a bad boy. He honestly like 695 00:39:32,445 --> 00:39:35,085 Speaker 1: one time there's his father and son like walking around 696 00:39:35,165 --> 00:39:37,245 Speaker 1: near there, and Humphrey went after them, and then they 697 00:39:37,245 --> 00:39:40,005 Speaker 1: were stuck in a tree for hours with Humphrey being like, 698 00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:43,885 Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat you me And then it was some tomfoolery. 699 00:39:44,725 --> 00:39:47,085 Speaker 1: And it wasn't until like Marius came with an apple 700 00:39:47,125 --> 00:39:49,085 Speaker 1: and was like, come eat this apple instead of trying 701 00:39:49,085 --> 00:39:51,325 Speaker 1: to eat those people, you know, well, I guess just 702 00:39:51,485 --> 00:39:54,165 Speaker 1: like bite them. And then also this was a really 703 00:39:54,245 --> 00:39:56,165 Speaker 1: fun thing that I actually really liked, was that there 704 00:39:56,205 --> 00:39:58,925 Speaker 1: was a golf course nearby and Humphrey was known to 705 00:39:59,045 --> 00:40:02,805 Speaker 1: go and terrorize all the golfers on the gold and 706 00:40:02,965 --> 00:40:07,285 Speaker 1: the golf site, golf field, golf thing um and the 707 00:40:07,365 --> 00:40:11,125 Speaker 1: greens and yeah, he was also they thought he might 708 00:40:11,165 --> 00:40:17,525 Speaker 1: be responsible Humphrey for killing a neighboring farmer's calves. So 709 00:40:17,685 --> 00:40:20,645 Speaker 1: they're like, this is a bad boy. Humphrey is a 710 00:40:20,725 --> 00:40:25,445 Speaker 1: bad boy, okay. And so in twenty eleven, it might 711 00:40:25,485 --> 00:40:29,565 Speaker 1: have not been the biggest surprise to people that Marius's 712 00:40:29,605 --> 00:40:34,325 Speaker 1: body was found floating in the nearby river with multiple 713 00:40:34,445 --> 00:40:38,365 Speaker 1: puncture and bite marks. Obviously it was a hippo who 714 00:40:38,365 --> 00:40:44,125 Speaker 1: had done it, and he died by Jaws. It was 715 00:40:44,365 --> 00:40:47,565 Speaker 1: it was Humphrey. If we've learned anything on this podcast, 716 00:40:47,765 --> 00:40:54,885 Speaker 1: it's don't have animals that shouldn't be and your pets retweet. 717 00:41:00,365 --> 00:41:05,325 Speaker 1: Don't have bears as pets. Don't have hippos as pets. 718 00:41:05,685 --> 00:41:10,325 Speaker 1: Um not the EMUs Cassawaris. Don't have a cas Cassawari 719 00:41:10,405 --> 00:41:14,805 Speaker 1: guy from Florida. Of course, respect nature, you guys. Yeah, 720 00:41:14,845 --> 00:41:19,525 Speaker 1: and especially the hippos because they they are fat or daddies, 721 00:41:19,605 --> 00:41:24,045 Speaker 1: the fattest daddies besides the whale daddies. They're just you know, 722 00:41:24,125 --> 00:41:29,405 Speaker 1: they're gonna get you. So that is a rant about hippos. 723 00:41:30,365 --> 00:41:32,685 Speaker 1: They're gonna get you. What a great way to end 724 00:41:32,925 --> 00:41:36,845 Speaker 1: your segment, Gabbiall coming up, we're gonna have some more 725 00:41:36,965 --> 00:41:40,285 Speaker 1: hippo talk and it's gonna be fun and cute and 726 00:41:41,485 --> 00:41:48,845 Speaker 1: stick around. We're back. We're back. So I got to 727 00:41:48,885 --> 00:41:51,885 Speaker 1: research this last night on an aquarious full moon. I 728 00:41:51,925 --> 00:41:54,365 Speaker 1: feel hello powerful today, and it's because we're diving into 729 00:41:54,485 --> 00:42:00,365 Speaker 1: Egyptian mythology. I feel happy and full and ready to 730 00:42:00,365 --> 00:42:04,645 Speaker 1: get into this. Thank you, Gabby for the hippo goddess recommendation. 731 00:42:04,725 --> 00:42:07,685 Speaker 1: So hippos, they can be scary, but we love them. 732 00:42:08,565 --> 00:42:12,685 Speaker 1: And m Gabby sent me this amazing hippo goddess. So 733 00:42:13,445 --> 00:42:17,685 Speaker 1: her name. She's an ancient Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility. 734 00:42:17,805 --> 00:42:26,445 Speaker 1: Her name is Tawarette, which literally translates to the great One. Okay, queens, yes, 735 00:42:26,685 --> 00:42:31,565 Speaker 1: girl boss goddess. She's a goddess with the face and 736 00:42:31,685 --> 00:42:35,085 Speaker 1: the body of a hippo, two legs that she walked on. 737 00:42:35,285 --> 00:42:37,925 Speaker 1: She's a bipedal creature. Um. She had the tail of 738 00:42:37,965 --> 00:42:40,525 Speaker 1: a crocodile, the limbs of a lion, and the pause 739 00:42:40,565 --> 00:42:45,205 Speaker 1: of a lion, and a long, hanging, swaying breasts. I 740 00:42:45,285 --> 00:42:49,125 Speaker 1: love this for her, like two beautiful supple sausages, which 741 00:42:49,405 --> 00:42:54,045 Speaker 1: showed fertility. Basically, also in many of the ambulets and 742 00:42:54,765 --> 00:42:58,685 Speaker 1: statues that she was always kind of carved out of. Um. 743 00:42:58,805 --> 00:43:02,125 Speaker 1: She was very round, and a lot of people say 744 00:43:02,125 --> 00:43:04,885 Speaker 1: that it was either because she always appeared like she 745 00:43:05,005 --> 00:43:08,485 Speaker 1: was or she appeared like she could get pregnant, and 746 00:43:08,645 --> 00:43:12,085 Speaker 1: because I guess being round and supplement that you were fertile, 747 00:43:12,445 --> 00:43:17,405 Speaker 1: which interesting how beauty standards change. Okay, So yeah, Saggy Tennis, 748 00:43:17,405 --> 00:43:24,085 Speaker 1: You're ready. You're ready, literally absolutely great good news. Yes 749 00:43:27,165 --> 00:43:32,045 Speaker 1: for some people. I guess, okay, Taylor. Um. So, obviously 750 00:43:32,125 --> 00:43:35,565 Speaker 1: hippos existed in Egypt long before any dynasty was there, 751 00:43:35,605 --> 00:43:37,645 Speaker 1: but now they're extinct, which is really sad because of 752 00:43:38,125 --> 00:43:41,125 Speaker 1: the Egyptians basically hunted them all down, which is not good. 753 00:43:41,365 --> 00:43:44,165 Speaker 1: But um, they were in the Nile. Yes, they were 754 00:43:44,165 --> 00:43:47,405 Speaker 1: in the Nile. So when Egyptians began interacting with them, 755 00:43:47,565 --> 00:43:50,645 Speaker 1: they feared and they worshiped the animal, and actually the 756 00:43:50,805 --> 00:43:54,325 Speaker 1: male hippos they were like, oh, they're scary, and they 757 00:43:54,605 --> 00:43:57,925 Speaker 1: basically they thought the male hippos represented chaos, and so 758 00:43:57,965 --> 00:43:59,485 Speaker 1: they thought it was like a symbol of chaos, and 759 00:43:59,565 --> 00:44:03,685 Speaker 1: many times pharaohs would actually go out with hunting expeditions 760 00:44:03,685 --> 00:44:05,365 Speaker 1: and hunt them because it was like a side of power. 761 00:44:05,645 --> 00:44:11,805 Speaker 1: But the female hippos were actually like revered because they 762 00:44:11,845 --> 00:44:15,085 Speaker 1: fiercely protected their young and so they were not killed 763 00:44:15,085 --> 00:44:17,045 Speaker 1: as much. And this led to the birth of a 764 00:44:17,045 --> 00:44:20,685 Speaker 1: lot of hippo deities like Tawerette, who were seen as 765 00:44:20,725 --> 00:44:25,445 Speaker 1: these protective kind of goddess creatures. Basically, you could find 766 00:44:25,485 --> 00:44:28,085 Speaker 1: a lot of hippo amulets and tower at statues in 767 00:44:28,205 --> 00:44:32,325 Speaker 1: domestic settings like in people's little houses and stuff, because 768 00:44:32,325 --> 00:44:36,005 Speaker 1: she represented the protection of children, of fertility, and of rejuvenation. 769 00:44:36,525 --> 00:44:39,365 Speaker 1: There are like many tower At stories that connect all 770 00:44:39,365 --> 00:44:41,525 Speaker 1: of these traits, but one of the most popular is 771 00:44:41,565 --> 00:44:44,525 Speaker 1: that the eye of Rap, which is the feminine counterpart 772 00:44:44,565 --> 00:44:47,045 Speaker 1: to the sun god, Rap got like angry at her dad. 773 00:44:47,205 --> 00:44:50,845 Speaker 1: We've all been there, and she fled to Nubia. We've 774 00:44:50,845 --> 00:44:53,805 Speaker 1: all been there in the form of a lioness. And 775 00:44:53,845 --> 00:44:59,165 Speaker 1: then yeah, absolutely, yes for you say yeah, eventually she 776 00:44:59,245 --> 00:45:01,485 Speaker 1: returns to Egypt, but she comes back in the form 777 00:45:01,525 --> 00:45:04,365 Speaker 1: of a hippo, and then she brings the flooding of 778 00:45:04,405 --> 00:45:07,245 Speaker 1: the Nile. That's like how according to them, the flooding 779 00:45:07,325 --> 00:45:10,445 Speaker 1: of the Nile started. Obviously, like the flooding of the 780 00:45:10,485 --> 00:45:13,325 Speaker 1: Nile was very important to Egyptian people because it was 781 00:45:13,765 --> 00:45:18,645 Speaker 1: it represented their livelihood. Basically, I'm super important and represented fertility, 782 00:45:18,685 --> 00:45:21,165 Speaker 1: as we all know, because the soil was very easy 783 00:45:21,205 --> 00:45:24,125 Speaker 1: to grow things in. And that's like, we're most of 784 00:45:24,165 --> 00:45:27,925 Speaker 1: the economic power and Egypt came from so Tarette was 785 00:45:27,965 --> 00:45:33,045 Speaker 1: considered a very fertile goddess and a protector goddess as well. 786 00:45:33,525 --> 00:45:37,205 Speaker 1: Childbearing was extremely important but obviously very dangerous in Egypt, 787 00:45:37,445 --> 00:45:40,525 Speaker 1: or like anywhere in the like ancestral times, like I 788 00:45:40,565 --> 00:45:45,365 Speaker 1: don't know, Orica right now, poor in America right now, 789 00:45:45,405 --> 00:45:50,045 Speaker 1: there we go exactly. But producing a sun and having 790 00:45:50,045 --> 00:45:54,205 Speaker 1: the sun reached adulthood was really difficult because the informortality 791 00:45:54,285 --> 00:45:58,005 Speaker 1: rate was extremely high. So a protective goddess like Tawarette 792 00:45:58,165 --> 00:46:01,765 Speaker 1: hippo goddess queen, she became a very powerful symbol and 793 00:46:01,805 --> 00:46:04,485 Speaker 1: there were like shrines for her everywhere that she never 794 00:46:04,525 --> 00:46:07,285 Speaker 1: got a state run temple, which is fucked up, but 795 00:46:07,365 --> 00:46:10,965 Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah. And also there were like hippo cults. 796 00:46:11,045 --> 00:46:14,445 Speaker 1: Can you imagine joining a hippogoddess cult?
