00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature Feature, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Creature feature. It's Creature Cringle Time, a holiday special about

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: our furry friends. Today, we'll learn how Santa could revolved

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: by stealing pace ly d in a imagination station. Animals

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: of you join us as we learn, explore and learn.

6
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: We shall make us Santa out of Venomon's festive by

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: a logical mutant creature feature the Holiday special. But we

8
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: will not be singing the whole time. I promise stay here,

9
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Please don't go. Happy Holidays everyone. It's me Katie Golden,

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: our host of many parasites. On this two part holiday special,

11
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: We'll be creating our own non denominational holiday using evolutionary

12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: biology to make this magical time of year scientifically accurate.

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: We'll make our own better Santa out of animal DNA,

14
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: learning about these animals along the way. Happy Creature Crane,

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Happy Creature Crane, Happy Creature Crane joining me today to

16
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: create a new holiday out of spare animal parts is

17
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: comedian co host of The Bechdel Cast, screenplay writer of

18
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Santa University, Jamie Loftus. Hello, Hello, I love the holiday

19
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: credits credit through special. Yes, I I am a big

20
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: fan of Santa University. Thank you so much. You should

21
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: be in it this. I'd love to you. I will

22
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: write you apart to thank you. Thank you so like

23
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I implied in that song that I practiced, Um, we

24
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: will be creating our own Santa. I want to make

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: a nondenominational, scientifically accurate holiday called creature Kringle nous or

26
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: sorry no creature Kringle times. And we're gonna be, yeah,

27
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: making a Santa out of various animals. And so to

28
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: do this, I have horrifying well yes, but I have

29
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: broken down Santa into his let's see one, two, three, four,

30
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: five basic components santaus And let me know if you

31
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: agree with this. Right, it's his longevity first of all,

32
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: because he's immortal unless you're of the unless you're of

33
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: the Tim Allen like, he gets replaced by a new Santa,

34
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: which I'm actually not a believer in that. Um on

35
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: Santa University, the Santa is killed every year. I see.

36
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: But um, that's a brutalist at the pretty brutal lamb.

37
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I do like it, though, I do like it. It It

38
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: is I mean for viole and say it's worth it.

39
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: But but okay, so Tim Allen is not involved. Tim

40
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Allen is not a good No, there's no Republican. That's good.

41
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear it. Um. He also has the

42
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: ability to fly around the globe, which I think is

43
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: very important for a Santa. Y it's key. He has

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a very good memory and a naughty and nice list,

45
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: so he is able to hold onto a grudge for

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: quite some time. Yes, And he has a jolly belly

47
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: and a big booming laugh. Yes. And I think that

48
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: is basically Santa. You mix those ingredients together, you've got

49
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: yourself a Santa. Yeah. That and um, you know, bad

50
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: labor practices that is true? Are well, actually we don't know.

51
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I you know, I got the feeling that Tim Allen's

52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: elves were like unionized. Maybe I would hope, so shouldn't

53
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: unionize people should figure out if that David Krumholt delf

54
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: that was a part of the union. You don't know,

55
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I feel like once we're done

56
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: with this Santa, it's gonna be so scary. I don't

57
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: know if it could employ any elves. I think it would.

58
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Everyone will be enslaved to this Santa. But you know, well,

59
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: well we'll see what happens here sounds jolly to me,

60
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: very jolly times. So let's talk about that immortality thing,

61
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: because that's that's the key thing to Santa is either

62
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: he must be replaced by a new Santa every year

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: in sort of the Santa Death Arena, that of Santa

64
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: University or the Big Game, right, or he must be immortal,

65
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: because you can't have a Santa that just dies and

66
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: isn't replaced by new Santa, like you can't have a

67
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: Christmas year or sorry, a Creature Kringle Times year where

68
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: you tell the children no, no, uh, Santa is dead.

69
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: He's not coming back right now. That that would be

70
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: mean a big good. It would be a bad thing

71
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: for the economy though, it would be a disasters for

72
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: the economy in the industry. Santa is dead of your

73
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: head right. So in fact, if you look into the

74
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: animal Kingdom, there are animals who, hypothetically speaking, are immortal.

75
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, so let's look at the hydra, and the

76
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Hydra is a genus of tiny aquatic animals that are

77
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: only a few millimeters long. They kind of unfortunately they

78
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: look a little bit like a wiener with some tentacles

79
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: on it. I will show you Oh, oh my god,

80
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: it looks exactly like that. Yeah, no, I mean I'm

81
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: not I'm not even having a dirty potty mouth. Looks

82
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: exactly like tentacles on it. That is not one of

83
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: those like ink blots that you're just projecting on. It

84
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: looks just photo realistically what it looks like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So,

85
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: as far as scientists can tell, they don't age. They

86
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: are biologically immortal, meaning that they're not actually they're not

87
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: magically immortal. If you squish one, it will die. You

88
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: can destroy a hydra, but they do not grow old

89
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and die, and they only perish because of predation or

90
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: other environmental factors. Okay, so if they're in ideal conditions,

91
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: they'll never die exactly. So the cells of hydras are

92
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: able to infinitely self renew, so theoretically they could live forever.

93
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: And this is because that their cells are stem cells

94
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: or a lot of their cells are stem cells, which

95
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: means that they're able to continuously divide and differentiate into

96
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: whichever cell type the body needs. Wow. Okay, and so really,

97
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: is there any knowledge of like how old the oldest

98
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: hydra is or how can you tell how old one is?

99
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: That's a very good question. I don't know that they

100
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: have found like a super old hydra, probably just because

101
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: they get eaten so much because they're so tiny. But

102
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: they kept them in the lab and they found no

103
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: signs of aging or deterioration over good chunk of time.

104
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Yeah, And one biology researcher Daniel Martinez said, quote,

105
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: I do believe that an individual hydro can live forever

106
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: under the right circumstances. So let's make those circumstances happen, Jamie. Right,

107
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: we just need to make an ideal, Okay, So it's like,

108
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: as long as Santa is protected right, right, and he

109
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: doesn't get into any fights or maybe bad winters. I

110
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: don't know if they're affected by weather. We need to

111
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: make us Santa that is the an apex predator Santa exactly,

112
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and it moves kind of the same exactly, so that

113
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Santa that can survive in different environments, so that it's

114
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: cells can endlessly reproduce because it is has that hydra

115
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: DNA and it it is all stem cells. So you

116
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: chop off a leg, it regrows it. SpongeBob, yeah, exactly,

117
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: like spob. Dang, it should have just called this episode

118
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: SpongeBob is Santa This. I think this animal has points

119
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: in favor both of the the apex predator and also

120
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: being able to fly around the globe. So I want

121
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: to talk about and I have actually talked about this

122
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: animal on the show before on Go Home Nature, You're Drunk.

123
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: But this is the cats actalists. It is an extinct

124
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: pterosaur and parosaurs were winged reptiles of the Messozoic era,

125
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: so that includes like pterodactyls, and they're not actually dinosaurs.

126
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: It's just a different, different group of animals, but they

127
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, dinosaur times though they were peers, yes there,

128
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: peers with colleagues. One might say, we don't know they're friends.

129
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: Well maybe not, it could be friends, but we know

130
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: at least that they were around. Yes, exactly. So the

131
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: cats acotaist north Ropy was as tall as a giraffe,

132
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: probably walked like a giraffe on the ground too, uh,

133
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: and had a thirty five ft wingspan. So it's about

134
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: the size of a Cessna two airplane. It's just like

135
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: a flying draft. Yeah. I like that sounds like some

136
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: some deviant arch right right. That's um, that's my Tara Sona.

137
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: So here here we go. Here is this fella? Whoa

138
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: that is not what? I wow. Gigantic beak, two huge beak,

139
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: big strong, meaty neck, wings, claws, tall as a giraffe.

140
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Probably had some furry feathers like not for but primitive

141
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: feathers that kept it warm. And yeah, just like it,

142
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I know right, it like friendly. I feel like this

143
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: is a good framework for our our Santa. Was it

144
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: a herbivore carnivore? No, it was definitely carnivore. It was.

145
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: It was a mean draffe. I mean, I wouldn't say

146
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: mean just you don't have to like you. I feel

147
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: like if you know, like you wouldn't call a lion

148
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: mean it's just eats. I would call a lion mean

149
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah they're see we got uh. And so

150
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: there was some controversy over whether these things could fly,

151
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: because it's really hard to imagine a giraffe sized creature

152
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: being able to fly. Usually it's just a little birdies

153
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: and even the bigger birds can't really fly so good.

154
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: And so in professor of biomechanics at Chatham University, my

155
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Cabban British paleontologist Mark Wooden teamed up to create a

156
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: computer model of the cats Cootalists and found that it

157
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: could fly, and it flew up to eighty miles per

158
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: hour for ten days at altitudes of fifteen thousand feet

159
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: according to their how a computer model. Oh my god, yeah,

160
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was in terms of like preserving your

161
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: energy for that long too, Like I feel like you

162
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: need to have a few just reindeer in your big

163
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: mouth to snack on, right, Like, oh, you would just

164
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: like take some snacks for the ride, exactly, keep it

165
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: in the side of your beak and your big big beak.

166
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they had like a gol or pouch sort of

167
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: like bird's beach, you know. Yeah, yeah, I think that now.

168
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Of course, eighty miles per hour even though it could

169
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: fly up to ten days, and I think that would

170
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: still not be one night of of trans traversing the world.

171
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: So you have to mix in a little bit of

172
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: peregrine falcon. So Peregrine falcons are birds of prey found

173
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: almost all over the world. They're highly successful urban adapters.

174
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: They do well in a lot of different environments, so

175
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: they're kind of good, good to mix into the Santa

176
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: salad that I'm making. So they're medium size they're a

177
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: little over a foot in length with a wingspan of

178
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: thirty The females are a little larger than males. Always

179
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: like pointing that out for feminism, you know. And they

180
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: can fly. They can fly up to two hundred forty

181
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: miles per hour and there we go. Now we've got

182
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: some speed during its hunting stoop, which is a dive

183
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: towards its prey items, and usually it preys on other birds.

184
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it does small rodents and reptiles, but mostly other

185
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: birds because they like I think they just enjoy the

186
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: sport of it. Like, you know, you can fly, I

187
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: can fly, but I can just for love game. Yeah, exactly.

188
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: So because of their high speed dive, they can kill

189
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: larger birds like sandhill cranes, which are pretty I would

190
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: say they're about two and a half feet tall. Yeah,

191
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: they're they're on the larger side compared to these little

192
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: peregrine falcons, but they just are so fast, they're like

193
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: they themselves are like a bullet. And they can also

194
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: catch tiny swift birds like hunting birds, so they've got

195
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: a good range of prey that they are capable of

196
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: snatching out of the sky. Yeah. Yeah, and I think

197
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: due to the peregrine falcon speed, it's adaptability around the globe,

198
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: and its precision. It's DNA would be a very nice

199
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: addition to our Santa um. So for our Santa, I

200
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that I'm picturing the schematics. Yeah, well,

201
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: does the Santa fly or or the required or is

202
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: it right? I mean, I think that we're going to

203
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: just combine it all into stream. We're gonna streamline our Santa.

204
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of all of the yeggs. We're

205
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of all of the sort of bells

206
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: and whistles that don't know regular hardware too much. So

207
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: let's put it all in our big cats a codal

208
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: claws Santa or hydro cats a total cloths. This Santa

209
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: straight up flies on his own strata flights, so he's

210
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: got Now. Some science purists out there might say that, oh,

211
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: peregrine falcon can fly that fast because it's smaller than

212
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: it cats a cuotalist, and it can build up speed

213
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: by diving down. But I would argue, I think, now

214
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm not physics. You're not, I, Katie Golden, am not physics.

215
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: I think larger objects do fall faster right, listen, m

216
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I Jamie Long just am not physics, right, but sounds

217
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: good to me, right, And of course I'm sure drag

218
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: has something to do with it. You don't want too

219
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: much drag. But if you have a streamlined cats a

220
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: quotalists and immortal cats a quotalists with hydro d NA

221
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: who has the precision diving skills of a Paregrine falcon,

222
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: I feel like it could get You can get as

223
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: fast as a plane, right it would? Yes, yeah, yes, yes,

224
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: I can't say as a physicist, but I can say

225
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: yes for sure. This may require sort of a a

226
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: dive bombing of houses. People would probably be destroyed. But

227
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's with these sorts of things you

228
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: can't know until you try. You don't until you make

229
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: the prototype, name it, get to know it. If it

230
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, we'll just kill it. How do you like?

231
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Do you like hydro kstal clause? I like. I think

232
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: it fall. It trips right off the time it does.

233
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: I think it's sort of like a sweet honey off

234
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: off the mouth. I think it'll be great for merchandizing. Yeah,

235
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: people will want that actual figure. It's good on a mug. Yeah, yeah,

236
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I know. We're going to teach a new generation how

237
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: to spell hydrototal clause. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the DNA of

238
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: a hydra, the body of a catsicotalists, and the clause

239
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: of a man that sounds like the introduct sugar the

240
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: power of girls, adding some sugar and spice and chemical

241
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: X and chemical X. It turns out chemical X is

242
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: a ground up peregrine falcon. No kidding. Yeah, I don't

243
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: want to say that. That's that is what it is.

244
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Read the fine print all the hi there. I'm always

245
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: looking for ways to make my life easier as a

246
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: uterus owner. So that's why I like Lola. Lola is

247
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: a female founded feminine care brand offering high quality period

248
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: and sexual wellness products. Lola's tampons, pads, liners, and cleansing

249
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: wipes are all made with one organic cotton, no toxins, dyes,

250
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: or synthetic fibers. One of the cool things about Lola

251
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: is that they believe in total ingredient transparency. The FDA

252
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: doesn't actually require brands to disclose a comp prehensive list

253
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: of ingredients in their feminine care products, so most of

254
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: them don't, but Lola thinks that all us. Uterus owners

255
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: deserve to know exactly what we're putting in our bodies,

256
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: so they list every ingredient on the box. You can

257
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: get your period products delivered right to your door with

258
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: a subscription, and these subscriptions are customizable, so you can

259
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: choose your mix of products, absorbency levels down to the

260
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: exact number of lights and supers in a box of tampons.

261
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: It's super easy to change your delivery frequencies, skip a month,

262
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: or cancel your subscription at any time. Now. I don't

263
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: think there should be any stigma against having a period,

264
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: but I gotta admit it's kind of frustrating to have

265
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: to go to the store and pick out your tampons

266
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: when all you want to do is curl up on

267
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: the couch. I really enjoy how they deliver it right

268
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: to your door and there's no more of that panic

269
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: of oh did I get tampons? Nope, I didn't time

270
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: to run of the store before that elevator seen from

271
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: the shining happens in my pants. So if you own

272
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 1: a Uterus and you want to make your monthly cycle

273
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,040

279
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Santa has a frighteningly good memory. He knows which kids

280
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: are naughty and nice and dolls out his sentences accordingly.

281
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: So to make our own Santa will need to borrow

282
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: from some animals with a great memory. When you think

283
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: of the top animal when it comes to recollection, you

284
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: might think of an elephant. Do elephants actually have great memory?

285
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Or is the phrase an elephant never forgets just a

286
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: big honkin why? In fact, this seems to be one

287
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: saying that's actually based in biological fact. Observations have shown

288
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: that they seem excited when being introduced to a familiar elephant,

289
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: even if they haven't seen each other in over two decades.

290
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: Elephants also have long term memory for successful traveling routs,

291
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: their comrades, and traumatic experiences. They even learned that strangers

292
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: are more likely to attack elderly matriarchs. That's right, These

293
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: elephants are a matriarchy as opposed to younger matriarchs, so

294
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: they'll huddle more defensively when a stranger approaches when they

295
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: know that they have an older matriarch. But having an

296
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: older matriarch can come in handy. A study found that

297
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: older elephants learned from past traumas. From nineteen fifty eight

298
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: to nineteen sixty one, there was a terrible drought in

299
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: Tanzania's Tarrania National Park that killed off African elephant calves

300
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: at ten times the normal rate. Elephant matriarchs that were

301
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: at least five years or older at the time remembered.

302
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: So in ninetee, when conditions indicated another drought may happen,

303
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: they led their herd to migrate and to find another

304
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: area more suitable, whereas younger elephant matriarchs did not and

305
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: suffered a greater loss of calves. So we could give

306
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: our Bio Santa some elephant DNN called today. But I

307
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: want to give him such a powerful mixture of strong

308
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: minded animals that he never forgets a single knotty act ever,

309
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: holding a grudge for his eternal life. I like it, okay.

310
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: So this would be able to remember, not just whether

311
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: a child was not or nice this year, but it's

312
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: previous record of you know, maybe improvements were made, maybe

313
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: they've taken a sort of dip, right right, Yeah, And

314
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it seem like hydroquotal clause

315
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: is sorry, hydro cats a cootal clause. He's a monster.

316
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't think like if you pee your pants once,

317
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll eat you. If you pee your

318
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: pants on purpose multiple times, maybe, but then if you

319
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: improve over the years, maybe he'll give you pass. He'll

320
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: start to I think that, you know, improvement over time

321
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: would be a big incur I mean, he's not a monster.

322
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: He just looks and sounds like he's sort of a

323
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Doctor Manhattan sort of character where he's impartial and he's

324
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: an impartial judge in a way, but he's got more passion.

325
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a passionate well. I feel like he

326
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: also knows some child psychologists too. Um that maybe that's

327
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: and and that could be a roundabout gift is the

328
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: gift of child therapy, I think is in order for

329
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: any child that comes across the Santa that we're making.

330
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: So let's give him some more animal DNA so that

331
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: he's got a memory. Now I do want to um,

332
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to get some strongly worded letters from

333
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: the Academy of Science is saying you can't just smoosh

334
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of DNA together to create a new animal.

335
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: To you, I would say, where's your holiday spirit? Exactly?

336
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Did you lose it when you did all your sis?

337
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, doctor Scrooge. The science community is notoriously grin

338
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: chy PhD in grinchiness. So we'll continue. So let's give

339
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: our Santa some dolphin brains, right, So dolphins have pretty

340
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: dang good memories. Researchers found dolphins can remember the calls

341
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: specific to their friends for up to twenty years. And

342
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: dolphins are pretty neat because they have some little squeaks

343
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: and whistles that are these specific calls that kind of

344
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: in a way act as names for each other. It's

345
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: like an identifying call. It's like their calling card, sort

346
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: of like catchphrase. Like when I walk into room and like,

347
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: is everyone having a golden time? It's golden all right?

348
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: And then we all cheer, stand up and cheer, yeah, exactly,

349
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: going for the gold. Then are like, hi, it's a

350
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: golden I have so many friends, I mean, and we

351
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: love it, we love it, we live for it. Yeah,

352
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: So these bottlenose dolphins have the longest memory of an

353
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: animal other than humans. That's been verified by science. Now,

354
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: that does not mean that other animals do not have

355
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: longer memories. We just don't. We haven't recorded it in

356
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: a lab environment, in an experiment. So at the very least,

357
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: there is an animal out there that can at least

358
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: remember their buddies for twenty years. And I think that's

359
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. I think that's pretty honestly, didn't even know

360
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: that dolphins lived that long. Yeah, forty years. Yeah, I'm

361
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: sure probably longer when the conditions are right. Sure. Wow.

362
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought that they lived about

363
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: as long as like a dog would. I mean, I

364
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: couldn't see them as being sort of the puppies of

365
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: the ocean. I guess maybe I just don't think of

366
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: dolphins as ever. I've never looked at a dolphin, have

367
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: been like that. Dolphin looks old. They do. They do

368
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: have very good skin. They don't really get that the

369
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, those fine lines and wrinkles. They just are

370
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: bathed in retinal every night. I should be taken nuts,

371
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: We should be taken well, but I'm not satisfied with

372
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: just elephants and dolphins. Let's look at some animals who

373
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: can actually hold a grudge, because I think that's important.

374
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins have the the friendly Kringle time spirit of remembering

375
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: their friends, which is good. We do need that in

376
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: our Santa. But we also need our Santa to be

377
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: able to hold a grudge to punish the naughty. Yes,

378
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: so let's look at ravens and crows. Now, these are

379
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: some of my favorite birds. As people may know listening

380
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: to the podcast. They and you may also remember from

381
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: previous episodes that crows are able to remember bad people

382
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: and they will hold a grudge. I did not know that.

383
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: So there's a study of crows at the University of

384
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: Washington where researchers banded crows to study them. That's when

385
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: they put those fun little plastic bracelets on their legs.

386
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: But they would wear these masks because they knew that

387
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: they can remember faces, and they will harass researchers when

388
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: they're mad at them. And then they just for the

389
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: point of curiosity, they saw how long it would take

390
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: for them to forget the masks and the answers they

391
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: don't didn't really let it slide. They never forgot, I

392
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: mean they don't. I wouldn't say they never forgot, but

393
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: they didn't when the researchers tried it again. So they

394
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: remember the masks for years, and and they would attack

395
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: and scold the mask wearing researchers. And when a crow

396
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: scold you, it sounds like bro stop it. Wow. Yeah,

397
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: so they're like vengeful little Yeah. I like that though.

398
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean I would be mad if you were being

399
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: repeatedly tagged the bracelet on me. Yeah, it makes I mean,

400
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: it's it's a rational outrage. I'm just hacking and plastic,

401
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: you know. It's I'm the problem for being shocked that

402
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: they can do that. Of course they can. And in fact,

403
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: and this is I think a new fact for listeners

404
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: to the show, which is that they can pass on

405
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: their grudge to their crow children. So in three years time,

406
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: the grudge bearing crow population grew from of crows being

407
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: mad at the researchers to six of the crows being

408
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: mad at the researchers. So they were teaching each other

409
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: to hold this grudge, which I think is I think

410
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: that's amazing. I think it's really good. I think we

411
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: can all learn a lesson from that and then and

412
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: no one was letting it go. It wasn't like a

413
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: group pass or the crows didn't grow passive over time.

414
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't think. I haven't seen research that indicates that.

415
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you had long enough, maybe they would.

416
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: But I struggled to hold a grudge because I had

417
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: of years. I was like, I get bored of fudges.

418
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I pulled that out of my butt. But I was

419
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: thinking how long it would take me to get over

420
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: a grudge, and maybe thousands of years would do it

421
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: for me. I can hold a grudge for like to

422
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: two years, unless it's like the worst thing every two years.

423
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: That's very that's very sweet of you. My thing is

424
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: like I very rarely have a grudge like I In fact,

425
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: like very few behaviors will would ever qualify as a

426
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: grudge behavior for me. It's like instant forgiveness for most things.

427
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: But like, if you ever do cross me, like in

428
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: a meaningful way, in a meaningful way, that's thousands of years, thousands, thousands, millions.

429
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: The movie The Grudge is about a grudge you helped, Yeah, exactly,

430
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: that was me. That was my that was my What

431
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: is the monster in the grudge is it like a

432
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: little boy is a little boy with pale skin? And

433
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: I always confuse the grudge in the ring. I was

434
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: thinking of that ring. The ring is the little girl

435
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: with the hail skin climbing out of the TV. Yes,

436
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: I will climb out of a TV and and you know,

437
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: come for you and give you a stern talking to.

438
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: It would be a pleasure. Yeah, I mean, I'll be like, hey, hey, listen,

439
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: I have a grudge against you because that time you know,

440
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: that time you stole my some flower seeds. I don't

441
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: actually not, I can't even think of one. Really, I

442
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: don't know if I have a grudge. I just it's

443
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: like I think I would imagine if I did ever

444
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: have one, it would last an awfully long time. Yeah,

445
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: it's a different person a person. Yeah, maybe you'd have

446
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: to intentionally stub my toe because I am very angry

447
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: at corners. Yeah, I mean the corner community and you.

448
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: It's been a standoff for years. It's a real problem.

449
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: It's the it's I get very mad and upset. Yeah.

450
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: So let's uh. If you're wondering whether Ravens also hold grudges,

451
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: they do. They do so A new paper in animal

452
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: behavior reveals that ravens can remember who's been naughty and

453
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: who's been nice to them. So ravens who were raised

454
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: by humans were presented with a deal, and they would

455
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: exchange a piece of bread, which is boring, I guess

456
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: to the ravens, for a piece of cheese, which is

457
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: really exciting and great. I feel the exact same way.

458
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: I do think it's unfair this experiment, because to me,

459
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: bread and cheese together is even better than one or

460
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: the other. But you know, research isn't about research, isn't

461
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: about hospitality, that's not about them enjoying the best possible meal. Exactly.

462
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: They created the system where you turn in your bread,

463
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: you get a cheese, but some researchers, you know, holes

464
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: as they are, instead of exchanging the bread for the cheese,

465
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they would take the bread and then they would eat

466
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: the cheese themselves. Oh yeah, rude, that's okay, And and

467
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: the ravens would not forget. Yeah, these cheese thieves. The

468
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: ravens learned to avoid the unfair researches, and they would

469
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: remember their faces and they're like, no, no, no, no,

470
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: you're you stole my cheese. I remember you didn't make

471
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: me forget, So I mean I would remember some stole

472
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: my cheese. Maybe that's grudu worthy for me. Well that's great.

473
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: That is gruduatethys right in front of your face, right,

474
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: especially if I pay for it with some bread. I

475
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: hand you a loaf of bread or sorry, not a

476
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: whole loaf unless it's really good cheese, like a slice

477
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: of bread out of my bread wallet, and I expect

478
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: a cheese in return, and you eat it in front

479
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: of me. I'm not gonna lit that slide. Unbelievable. Yeah,

480
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. And I like that the animals that can

481
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: hold grudges look like the animals who can hold grudges. Yes,

482
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: the crow and raven look is very they have a

483
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: sinister reputation. Yeah, i'd say it's an austere les. Yeah,

484
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's out of the question that.

485
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, well, we know that you can get them

486
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: on your side. Yes, let's just treat them. Treat them.

487
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: They aren't unfair, they are very fair. It is we

488
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: who must watch ourselves. So I think that's actually I

489
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: think that's a really good addition to the to the

490
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Should we call call him a hydro a crotal crotal.

491
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Yeah, okay, that drips off the tongue

492
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: like ambrosia. It really does. It's delicious, it's tasty. That's

493
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: a tasty word. Every hydats a crotal clause clause crotal

494
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: crotal is a good word to it's a crotal morning

495
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: that love manner. Humans have really good memories, even if

496
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: it feels like you forget where your keys are. The

497
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: fact you can remember things for many decades make you

498
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: one of the best remembers in the animal kingdom. But

499
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: some humans are particularly extraordinary when it comes to memory.

500
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: Most of us don't remember every minute of our lives,

501
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: but people with highly superior autobiographical memory or h s

502
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: a M can remember almost every moment of their lives,

503
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes excruciating detail. They're able to recall accurately almost

504
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: every day. Can you remember what you did on say,

505
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: June second, eighteen, I mean, I know what I was doing,

506
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: probably looking at gross pictures of endo parasites, as I

507
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: do every day. But generally speaking, it's very difficult to

508
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: remember a specific given day unless it has some sort

509
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: of significance. But when tested in laboratory conditions. People who

510
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: claim to have highly superior autobiographical memory really can recall

511
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: specific details of randomly chosen days, which are double checked

512
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: by researchers using external records. One person with h S

513
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: a M described her memory as a library of VHS

514
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: tapes that she could browse through. One theory is that

515
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: people with h S a M have more brain activity

516
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: associated with fantasizing, meaning they'll replay events of each day

517
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: over and over until it's committed to memory. People with

518
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: h S a M often describe it both as a

519
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: blessing and a curse. Just like most memory is recalling

520
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: good memories in our life as a treasure, but having

521
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: to remember upsetting memories over and over again. That embarrassing

522
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: time in fourth grade when a bug went up your

523
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: nose and you sneezed it all over your desk and

524
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: everyone saw you do it. That would be terrible if,

525
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: hypothetically someone couldn't forget that. Yeah, when we return, we'll

526
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: give our biological mutants Santa his characteristic big belly and laugh.

527
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: How did Santa come to be the white bearded, red coated,

528
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: big bellied man we know and fear? Older images of

529
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: Santa depict him without his jolly trademarked belly. The original Santa,

530
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: historically speaking, was St. Nicholas or sintor Cloths, an ancient

531
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: Christian bishop who lived in what is now Turkey from

532
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy to three forty three, who legends have

533
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: it was kind to children and would give them praisens.

534
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: He had that long white beard in a winter coat,

535
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: but he wasn't ever depicted as being red cheeked and round.

536
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: This depiction came about in eighteen ninety when American illustrator

537
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: Tom Snast published a book of drawings called Thomas Nests

538
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Christmas Drawings for the Human Race. Santa was drawn with

539
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: a white beard, red coat and hat, and a big

540
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: old belly. That image cemented itself into modern Western culture,

541
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: and the ever evolving beauty standards for Santa's for now

542
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: is based on this particular image. It's a very rigid aesthetic. Yeah,

543
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: I think that in many ways Santa has participated in

544
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: the female experience by having such an absolutely rigid look.

545
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you go on Santa Grim and you see,

546
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: like every Santa looks the same same thing, and I don't. Yeah,

547
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: they have the beard they don't have any pores and

548
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: they have the perfect roundness, and I think it's unfair

549
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: to like, it's not even and it's not the Santa's fault.

550
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: It's it's the system that insists that they all look

551
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: this way and if any Santa strays from the norm,

552
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: it's so brave and it's like, no, that Santa is

553
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: just doing them. I just it's very frustrated, hard to know.

554
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: It's frustrating to be a Santa of like the non

555
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: sort of conforming Santa and having to be a statement

556
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,959
Speaker 1: rather than you just being you Like, it's just it's

557
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: it's the Santa is doing the same job with equal efficiency.

558
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: Like if you get a gift from a Santa who

559
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: doesn't have a white beard, are you going to be like, oh,

560
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't like this gift because because that's it is.

561
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: It's not okay a young Santa. Give me a young

562
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: differently shaped Santa. We had a young pope, but we

563
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: need a young Santa, young Santa, fox young Santa. But

564
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: that's going to be quacked out for sure, Hallmark, are

565
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: you listening, um, So let's give let's give our hydro

566
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: crotal cradle. What my high ability to say it is

567
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: rapidly to hydrot crotal clause. Yes, let mean I can

568
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: write it for a stand here hydro cats crowd so clause. Yeah,

569
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it big fonts so we can read

570
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: it really good. There we go, hydro clause, there we go. Whoa,

571
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: that's a lot of consonants. All right, the more consonants

572
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: the marriers. What I say, So there's that Christmas spirit.

573
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: What do you what animal do you think has the

574
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: highest body fat percentage in the world. Oh, I feel

575
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: like I'm going to give a basic, boring answer. I

576
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: guess like hippos or although they're very strong, that's not true.

577
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: Hippo's is a good guest because they seem they look

578
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: like it. I'm not about to be here and say, hey, gotcha.

579
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: They look bulky. But guess what. It's a lot of muscle.

580
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: But it's actually a lot of skin, thick, thickle skin.

581
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: So so yeah, hip they don't have a lot of

582
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: high body fat percentage. Most of their thick body comes

583
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: from muscle and that thick armor like skin. So eighteen

584
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: percent of their body weight is that thick skin. They're

585
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: eight skin skin that is wild and their skin also

586
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: produces its own sunscreen. It's like this pinkish fluid that

587
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: yeah they make. They're just like self produced their own

588
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: little goop. Yeah they're they're hippo goo wow. Yeah wow.

589
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: That's that's good for them. Yeah, exactly, thrill for them.

590
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: I was quick to judge, and I regret it. We

591
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: could give we could give our our hydridts of crotal

592
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: claws some hippo skin instead of the red coat, could

593
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: be Hippo's not gonna be red. It's going to be

594
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: sort of pink, I guess with the sunscreen. But as

595
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: we said, we have to challenge this stem and Santa's

596
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: of the past have not had wings. Also, hello, a

597
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: lot of sun exposure lying around the world. Yes, exactly,

598
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: so if you and and it would be again I

599
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: mean not to come down too hard in the industry,

600
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: but if you saw the profit releases from the last

601
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: quarter of Santa's workshop, they could afford to cut some

602
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: corners and uh, you know, saving on slay as we've

603
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: already resolved that, and saving on sunscreen. Like there there's

604
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot being done here with this design. I do

605
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a big cost to feed

606
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: and house the Santa though, Oh well, what what do

607
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: you have to be eating like a lot to keep

608
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: this good? But that's kind of his I feel like

609
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: that's kind of in the budget, right, Yeah, you're right.

610
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: We already had a pretty massive cookie budget and that

611
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: is just one unshed. We'll have to replace the cookies

612
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: with sort of seat feed or mice. Yeah, with meat, Okay, Okay,

613
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: so we'll swap out the cookies with meat. Yeah, easy done.

614
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: So maybe we shouldn't give them such a big billy,

615
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: but you know, we've got to be true. We've got

616
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: to be true to the Santa grams. I know it's upset,

617
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: but it's like, if Santa's not driving on social media,

618
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: then like what we need that social media content exactly,

619
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: or or he'll become irrelevant exactly. You're gonna tell me

620
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: that have Santa Delita's TikTok accountant? Yeah, coronal clause on

621
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: TikTok has got to be big. It's got to be big.

622
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: And it's gonna take a while to type that in.

623
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: So it's gotta be big. We have to make it

624
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: worth the training. So actually, actually, Jamie, I'm going to

625
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: ambush you with facts. Okay, So the blue whale has

626
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: the highest body fat percentage of thirty of their body weight,

627
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: which is a lot because they are very large, and

628
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: this helps them float and to maintain body heat in

629
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: cold water. So it's it's you know, also known as

630
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: blubberd's very yeah, very useful and elephant. Seal puppies can

631
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: reach a body fat percentage of fift in there so cute.

632
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: If you've seen them that they look like little abloribals.

633
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how else to describe them. But but

634
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: but but that is the word to describe what can

635
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: I see? Yes, sew yes, so sausage pet just just

636
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: very like the best pillow you know. Oh, look at

637
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: that Kate Bosworth's seal with the blue eye and the

638
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: brown love to see it. It's a good look. It

639
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: is a good look. I think the the sort of

640
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: chunka tud is very good. Oh yeah, I mean you've

641
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: gotta have the chrunka tude if it's not high. What's

642
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: the right now? The reason the seal puppies have such

643
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: a high body fat percentages they're drinking this really rich

644
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: milk from their mothers that really gets them up and

645
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: that's very important for their survival, to insulate them in,

646
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: to give them fuel. Who loves milk, Katie, Santa Claw.

647
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: It all comes together, and we did replace the cookies

648
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: with meat, but the milk stain dunks. His little feet

649
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: are mice in the milk. Exactly beautiful holiday card imagery.

650
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: We're talking about another another animal that looks like they're

651
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: they have a high body fat percentage, but it's actually

652
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: mostly moscle is walrus is they're only fat and they're

653
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: moscle mossel, muscle muscle. Okay, so I'm trying to do

654
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: you know the Schwarzenegger Yeah, mossel. There, we got these

655
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: fixed sea creatures out there. I like it. I mean

656
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense because they have to float

657
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: and they have to be able to fend off the

658
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: coldness of the water and defensive. It's probably also defensive

659
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: to I mean, I mean, I know walruses have to

660
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: survive walrus male rival males can do I think I

661
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: blocked that out. Yeah about that there. There there's some

662
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: violent I like when goofy looking animals have a violent culture,

663
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: You're just like, oh, okay, you know what defy defined expectations,

664
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: like like chipmunks, they are they they'll kick each other

665
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: when they're doing their winter storage. They'll steal from each

666
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: other and sometimes like fight in in kate each other.

667
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: Can can't tell you something, sure, I hate chipmunks really,

668
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: I Well, it's because of a childhood trauma. Can share. Yes, Um,

669
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: So we used to go on vacation in this like

670
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: we go to New Hampshire, um, like for one week

671
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: out of the summer, and we would be kind of

672
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: near the lake, but you would have to like walk

673
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: down from the house to the lake. And on one occasion,

674
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: I think I was three or four years old, I

675
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: was like running down to the lake and I there

676
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: was a chipmunk that crossed my path and he stopped.

677
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: He looked at me, and I was like, oh my gosh,

678
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: it's a chipmunk. And then it looked like he was

679
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: just going to run away, but dead he or she

680
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: panicked and went at me and bit me and I

681
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: little chipmunk by and it was so cute. But you

682
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: get chipmunk powers. I didn't. It wasn't even radioactive, so

683
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: what was it was just pointless? Yeah, I would have

684
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: loved to become a radioactive chipmunk. But I've always I

685
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: always like, even now, you have that little react. You're

686
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, who do they think they are? Yeah,

687
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: if you want to get mobbed by aggressive chipmunks, you

688
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: can go to Angels Landing in Zion National Park. I

689
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: was there. I got swarmed by chipmunks because I was

690
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: too much of a weenie to go on the final

691
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: The Angels Landing hike is actually quite scary because you

692
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: have to it's very sheer. It's not super dangerous. Now,

693
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean people have died doing it. It's pretty rare.

694
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: It's not dangerous, right, I mean people have died on stairs,

695
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: but who have died in in lifts? Yeah, exactly. Well,

696
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: yeah they're sorry. We were just talking about that, I guess,

697
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, exactly. So like being you know, hundreds of

698
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: feet off the ground and like fall you know, in

699
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: a very narrow pathway big mountain at a big peak,

700
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not that's not so bad. But yeah I

701
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: didn't do it because I was being very slow and

702
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: it's also very crowded. There's a big line of people,

703
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: and as I was being slow and I got like

704
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: like a little bit of the fear, and so I

705
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: turned around and then the chipmunks just kind of swarmed me.

706
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: And made fun of me for my cowardice, which was great.

707
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: They're like that, Yeah, they're petty, little take advantage of weakness,

708
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: my psyche chip wrecked telling you that much. Did you

709
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: see that Chipwrecked? It was one of the the one

710
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: of the squeakles or pre squeakles. It was believe it

711
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: wasn't a pre squeak It was a squeak wal it

712
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: was a squeak. Well, it's hard because it's you know,

713
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: the Alvin and the Chipmunks extended universe is very dense, right,

714
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: and but ill leave. It was the second squeak ol

715
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: third movie in the Holy Trilogy. Yeah, I mean speaking

716
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: of singing chipmunks, this is a segue into howler monkeys. Right,

717
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: So we gotta give our hydro cats a crotal clause,

718
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: a really good, big old laugh, right, we got it.

719
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: That's like the Santa thing. If it doesn't boom, there's

720
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 1: no room. There's no room for the Santa Santa. There's

721
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: no more Yeah, no more room, Get out, get out,

722
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: good good thing. So the Howler monkey. The Howler monkey

723
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: is one of the largest New World monkeys. It lives

724
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: in South and Central American rainforests. To give you us

725
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: into their size. They're about a couple of feet long,

726
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: not including their tails, and their tails can actually be

727
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: five times longer than their bodies, so really big old tails.

728
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: And exactly, and these are functional fashion because they are

729
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: prehens style and they can use them to pick berries,

730
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: well not well maybe berries, but pick fruits and nuts

731
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: from trees. And depending on their species, they can range

732
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: in color from black to red to goldish brown. I

733
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 1: think red is sort of the more the most usual color.

734
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: And as their name suggests, they are capable of very

735
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: loud calls to communicate with each other over long distances.

736
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, so females and males both call,

737
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: but males have the really loud call. I mean might

738
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: right'll just yap yap yap, and I mean yeah. It

739
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: is a good stereotype that men don't shut the quack up. Yeah, exactly,

740
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: self censured and I'm proud of myself. Very good. Yes,

741
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: So males have a specialized hioid bone, hioid bone. It's

742
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: hard for me to say hioid bone a bone that

743
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: we also have. So if you feel up your neck,

744
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: there's little this guy like a fan, like you're in

745
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: front of a fan boys, Luke, I am your father.

746
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: Another classic trilogy, not as good as The Squeak Wolves. Right,

747
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: thanks for derailing me with Star Wars. I'm so sorry.

748
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know a damn thing about out there anything today.

749
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking it would be funny if Luke kind

750
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: of brother named Mike, and then we just learned about

751
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: him in the last twenty minutes of build up a

752
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: whole trilogy, like the Skywalker. Like that, Mike skyt it

753
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: actually rings better than Luke Skywalker. Yeah, and he sounds

754
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: more man of the people than Luke Skywalker. Mike is

755
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: a there's no problem blue potato farmer in space Iowa. Yeah.

756
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: If you watch the director's director's cut of the first

757
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: movie or what is the first, is the fourth or

758
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: whatever the oldest one, Yes, you can see Luke sky

759
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: eye Walker says uncle aunt Mikey Mikey on his space Bikey.

760
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: It's implied that Mike dies, and then we learned forty

761
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: years later he actually didn't. He was actually protected by

762
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: the photon blasts by his blue space potatoes. But exactly, yes,

763
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: were it's served as a shield And that's a metaphor

764
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: for something. Were we talking about howler monkeys where we were,

765
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: all right, So let's talk about this highoid phone again.

766
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: I can't. It's funny. It's a funny word to me.

767
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: So the male howler monkeys that high highoid bone is

768
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: it's actually filled with air and it acts as a

769
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: resonance chamber to make their voices louder. And they also

770
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: have like really big throats, and they just basically are

771
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: an instrument, an animal instrument, and they may be the

772
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: loudest land animal. Their howls can be heard from at

773
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: least three miles away, and the purpose of these hows

774
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: is mostly territorial, as a warning to say, hey, we're

775
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: over here, you guys, like pick another place because we

776
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: don't want to fight. Like they don't necessarily want to,

777
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: so they're just like hey, hey, hey, like yeah exactly,

778
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: got it. Yeah. It's like when you sort of pass

779
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: of aggressively put the umbrella up when you go to

780
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: the beach. You're like, yeah, this is my family. Try

781
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: you could try. It's not going to go well, it's

782
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 1: not going to go well, got it? So they can

783
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: sometimes how in a whole chorus, and I want to

784
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: give you good sense of since this is going to

785
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: be our our Santa's new new pipes. Yeah that's a monkey, Yeah,

786
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: abolutely not. You want Santa clause sorry, hydrocates a croto

787
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: clause to sound like that. It's got to travel, he's

788
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: got to project and the monkeys are Howler monkeys are

789
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: the best at projection, project projecting their their beautiful voices over, Like,

790
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: how else are you going to? Santa is gonna be

791
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: high in the sky. You gotta here is trademark, ho

792
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: ho ho, And I don't know. You're gonna have to

793
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: be a little less picky. It's gonna sound a little

794
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: bit like, oh, that's a monster friendly. Christmas is full

795
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: of Kringle. No, no, it's full of Kringle spirit. Okay,

796
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: you're right, I need to I need to relax. Yeah,

797
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: I need to relaxe. You're being a little bit grunch.

798
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: I was activate. I have like a fighter flight sand

799
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: in your clumb pudding, I do, and you gotta scoop

800
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: it out. I think it's okay, So you know that

801
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: that is I think we'll have to give Santa the

802
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: highoid bone of a Howler monkey. But maybe you're right,

803
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's not jovial enough. So let's look at some

804
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: more jovial animals. Okay, well I looked into which animals laugh,

805
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 1: which I think is important. So we know that, as

806
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show before, rats will giggle

807
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: and they do an ultrasonic chirping in response to being tickled.

808
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: Now we're talking, but we can't use that because it's

809
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: got to be able to be something we can hear,

810
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: and we can't hear the ultrasonic titters of rats being tickled.

811
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: As cute as that is, apes actually laugh. So Bnobo's gorillas, chimpanzees,

812
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: and orangutans they laugh. Do they laugh cute or did

813
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: they Well, let's start off with the bad news. Let's

814
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: start off. Let's start off with the bad news. So

815
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: here's a gorilla getting tickled on his foot. This is

816
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: by cell Press. Will include a link to it in

817
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: the in the notes. That's kind of a that's a

818
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of low chuckle. That's fun. I like that. Yeah,

819
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're they're, you know, not not making

820
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: a show of it, right. That's my favorite kind of

821
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: laughers that my shows, the ones that kind of go like, yeah,

822
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: I don't like when people make it when you when

823
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: you look out into that ground and you hear that

824
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: low rumbling right and you say, hey, you sound like

825
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: a cilla getting tickled on the foot. And then and

826
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,959
Speaker 1: then they just keep laughing. They just keeping That's why

827
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: I do it. Let's do here's a here's a I

828
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: think this one is legitimately cute. This is a chimp

829
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: laughing caught on camera by the BBC. So here, let

830
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: me get a good This is adorable. This is adorable. Yeah,

831
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: I love I want this one. I vote this one

832
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, cude, he's like he sounds like he

833
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: just got away with something. Yes, yes, yes, so sort

834
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:15,720
Speaker 1: of a snickering, snickering Santa. Yeah, like that little cheeky snicker.

835
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: I think a little a little snicker would fit the

836
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: physical profile of this Santa too, please, sort of a

837
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: booming can you have a loud snicker? Yes? I mean

838
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: if we if we added the Howler surround sound system

839
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: on it, you could really make that thing boom and

840
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: you would have to switch up the merch a little

841
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: no more ho ho ho he. And it's like when yeah, like,

842
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know is the he is that you text

843
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: someone when you're flirting. I always get confused of like

844
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: which I'm not. I've texted it to my mom. I

845
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: know I have to, but I'm pretty sure that that's

846
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: the flirtaous. I think canonically that's the flirtatous. Yeah, I

847
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: don't know. One hair is very matter of fact. It's

848
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: a little bit creepy to see written out, even though

849
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: I do it all the time. Could we add in

850
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: an extra e to make it a little better? But

851
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: he he he, I think Santa could benefit from a

852
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: he he heat about a h h hey, oh I would.

853
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I thought that would be high

854
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: high high right? Hi? What is that? What if you

855
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: is at a high high high. It's kind of it's

856
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: almost like a fat Albert head right right? Hi hi

857
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: hi hi Hi Hi yeah hi hi high it's Christmas?

858
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: Hi hi hi? I like that? Yeah, just to too

859
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: quick honorable mentions. Dolphins whistle whild play fighting, and dogs

860
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 1: laugh by panting in a specific way. And when other

861
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: dogs hear this panting laugh, they become playful as well.

862
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: And I know my dog does will probably know what

863
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: this is. It's sort of like what they go like,

864
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not panting like that's sort

865
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: of like I I just ran around and yeah, but

866
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: and it's sort of like it's it's playful. It's like

867
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, my dog, my dog does that, but

868
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: it inappropriate and inappropriate ha ha. He's well, he's red pilt,

869
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: so he he does he does that when very tragic

870
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: things happen come on getting together. It's not he's going

871
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: to be on the naughty list. It's oh, he's screwed.

872
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: He's absolutely screwed. Yeah. So I think we've made a

873
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: pretty good good news Santa, right, yeah, yeah, And do

874
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: you like you like the hydrocts a crotal clause? I

875
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: think is yes, hydrock. How are we How are we

876
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: adding in? Are we adding anything? I think if we try,

877
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's clearly the DNA of all these animals,

878
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,959
Speaker 1: but if we add in more syllables to the name,

879
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: it's going to break under its own weight. So we can't.

880
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: We can't. They the Z is sort of a load

881
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: bearing letter, and we can't fuss with the physics anymore

882
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: else that word is just going crumble like a ground

883
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: cracker and too much milk. That's fair, that's fair, that's fair,

884
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: and a beautiful metaphor to this. So I have prepared

885
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: a song. Oh okay, this is sung to the tune

886
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: of Jolly old St. Nicholas, whom we are is shoeing

887
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: into for our better Santa, or biologically accurate Santa. So

888
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: I have prepared lyrics, Jamie, you've never seen these, So

889
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: this is going to be I'm going to try, and

890
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to put an instrumental track under this, and

891
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: we're going to give it a shot. And this is

892
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: the revised each your Kringle Time song with our new

893
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 1: how what would you describe hydrock kids a crotal clause

894
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: as our holiday, our father holiday. Well you said we

895
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: couldn't use the word monster, No we can't be Okay,

896
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: then I'm really going to be struggling. I our holiday

897
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: mascot mascot. Yea all knowing, all occasionally vengeful mascot. Yes,

898
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: yes mascot. So here here it is to the tune

899
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: of the worst song Jolie. Hydroids a croton clause, with

900
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: your giant neck and wings and your hydra DNA. Here's

901
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: what I have today, Creature Kringele times. As soon when

902
00:57:54,840 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: you will make your flight so massive you blot out

903
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,479
Speaker 1: the moon? What an awful sight? Best as a pare

904
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: green falcon as fast as race cars go, saxopher able

905
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: to hold a grudge as long as an elephant or

906
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:27,960
