Yeah, count me in. 76 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: I got a wool hat from the last time you 77 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: and I went and sweated together. 78 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: It was a delight. Man. Yeah, I just have to go. 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: I want to try and maybe go in next week 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: or so and see if it is the same. You know, 81 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: things changed so much, you. 82 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: Know, but the the indoor cave where they pumped two 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: hundred degree dry heat and steam and then people just 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: sit and drip sweat. Yeah, it could be a little different, 85 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: but I assume all. 86 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: That, all the infrastructure is the same. What I don't 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: know is if the food is still good. 88 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Because it was so. 89 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: Damn good and it was so weird folks. You would 90 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: just you would order your food probably two hours before 91 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: you were ready for it. So you go at like 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: six pm and you say at eight pm I want 93 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: to eat, and then for two hours you just sweat 94 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: and then go in a cold plunge and then sweat, 95 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: and then go outside on the roof where it's snowing, 96 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: and then sweat, and then go in a cold plunge. 97 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: And then you just sit down in weird plastic chairs 98 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: like essentially like in near a pool. It felt like 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: you were sitting near a pool on a plastic table 100 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: in a bathrobe. And then you would drink that one 101 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: thousand gallons of straight vodka and eat the most amazingly 102 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: delicious food ever. 103 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: Not only did we do that, and we've told this 104 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 1: story on the podcast before we ordered a leader of vodka. 105 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: The woman goes for you for we said, yes. We 106 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: drained it so fast, we said we'll take one more, 107 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: and we drank another handle. We basically drank a handle 108 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: and a half of vodka, got up, paid, tipped, and 109 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: the Russian proprietor said, I am sorry. I did not 110 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: realize that you guys were serious for Americans and we 111 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: were like two to loo. 112 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: Yet, so I really do have to put some thought 113 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: into that. I got to figure it out. 114 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: I'll be there. Yeah, maybe that's exciting. I had great 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: news this week. Okay, so I've been catching somebody. It's 116 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: a man and a woman separately, and the same dog. 117 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: They let it off leash and it shits in my yard, 118 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: and then they don't pick it up. 119 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: They don't pick that is so it's so bonkers that 120 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: people do that to this day. It's so crazy. 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I've been trying to figure out which neighbor 122 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: they are because they're relatively new. I don't recognize the 123 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: dog from the many walks. And they're young. They're twenty 124 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: something white people, maybe late twenties or early thirties. They're 125 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: good looking. I would say they came to La for reason. 126 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: So I put up a new security camera that has 127 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: a siren and lights on it and left that notification 128 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: on and I caught the woman in the act of 129 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: letting her dog shit my arn. Its happened five times. 130 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: Five times. So there's just a piece of shit in 131 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: your And it's a tiny yard. It's not like it's 132 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: a gigantic yard. 133 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a big yard. Also, it's clearly my yard. 134 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: There's a wall. 135 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: There's a wall that a dog needs to go around. 136 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, so they just dropped the leash and look at 137 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: her phone, and then the dog shits my ard. Then 138 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: she doesn't pick it up. Then she walks away so 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, I was never going to do anything to 140 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: the dog, but I wanted to. I was going to 141 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: confront this woman. Or it's also her boyfriend would do 142 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: it later at night, but whatever. So I finally caught 143 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: him on camera in the act hit the siren on 144 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: this new camera that I didn't realize how loud the 145 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: siren and the video footage is spectacular. It scares her 146 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: so deeply. She runs, the dog bolts. Then she has 147 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to chase the dog. But she's standing in my yard 148 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: when it happened. So she runs out of my yard. 149 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: She standing in your on her phone texting. So she 150 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: walks into your yard with her dog and lets the 151 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: leash down. Yes, the dog dog walked around in front 152 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: of her. Yes, and then she walks away with the dog. 153 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: And she did it five times, and on the sixth time, 154 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: I caught her on camera hit the alarm and scared. 155 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: She runs, She literally runs away. It's fantastic. So I 156 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: finally figured out what house she lives in, and so 157 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: I was going to start bagging up the shit it 158 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: and putting it and said like drop something or seasons greetings, 159 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: just giving her little love letters of her own dog's 160 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: gigantic mountains of poop because it's a large dog. 161 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 162 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: So then there's this guy I've met in the neighborhood 163 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: a few times. He's an author and one of his 164 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: books just got turned into a movie that's like a 165 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: Paul Thomas Anderson movie, Like it's gonna hatch He goes 166 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm buying.

Yes, yes, 275 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: that's in the biz picture this and there. You're enjoying 276 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: a delicious bowl of mushroom soup when suddenly you notice 277 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: hundreds of tiny people dressed in cartoonish clothing marching across 278 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: your tablecloth, jumping into your bowl, swimming around, and clinging 279 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: to your spoon as you lift it for another taste. 280 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: You are not dreaming. You've just experienced the effects of 281 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: a mushroom. Known scientist as landmaa asiatica. It belongs to 282 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: an entirely different class of fungi than the more commonly 283 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: known magic mushrooms and remains far more mysterious. When outsiders 284 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: first embarked into the western highlands of Papua New Guinea 285 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty four, they encountered a perplexing site. After 286 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: consuming a type of wild mushroom, which they called nanda, 287 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: the local people would appear to go temporarily insane, exhibiting 288 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: a sudden and striking change in mood and behavior. 289 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: Wow. 290 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: Subsequent accounts of the mushroom madness phenomenon, as it was termed, 291 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: provided more details into the mushroom strange psychological effects. Specifically, 292 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: it was reported that these affected those affected would experience 293 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: Liliputian hallucinations, a rare clinically defined psychiatric symptom named after 294 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: the tiny people in Gulliver's Travels, characterized by the perception 295 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: of numerous little people autonomously moving about an actor interaction 296 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: acting in the real world environment. One elder tribesman in 297 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: Papua New Guinea described this effect, explaining how he saw 298 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: tiny people with mushrooms around their faces. They were teasing him, 299 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: and he was trying to chase them away. By the 300 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: nineteen sixties, scientists we're working to identify the species of 301 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: mushroom involved in the chemicals that might be responsible for 302 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: such bizarre effects. However, both questions have remained under answer 303 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: to this day. As a PhD student at the Natural 304 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: History Museum of Utah, I've been working to solve this puzzle. 305 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: What exactly is the identity of this mushroom, how widespread 306 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: is the cultural knowledge of it, its effects, and why 307 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: does it provide such fantastical visions. 308 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: And so specific. 309 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: It's so specific, and I've heard of other drug interactions 310 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: that are like this specifically. I've heard about DMT giving people. 311 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: There's like specific things you see on DMT. 312 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Is that it partially Sometimes people see all the reptilians 313 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: that are like, we're on the other side, We're existing 314 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: on the other side of the veil, and you're like, oh, 315 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: don't hurt me. 316 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: I've heard something like along lines of like a small 317 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: child who like pulls you through some sort of like 318 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: hole or something. That's what I've heard, but I don't 319 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: know the details. 320 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: Sleep paralysis demons, that's what Freddy Krueger is, the man 321 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: in the flat hat. So Freddy Krueger is and it's 322 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: about you know, if you go to sleep, he kills you. 323 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: But people say, you see three different types of figures 324 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: when you have sleep paralysis, and one of them is 325 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: a guy with a flat hat. And so that's where 326 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the idea for Freddy Krueger wearing that hat came into play. 327 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 2: No idea, that's so crazy. 328 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I also watched a documentary once on sleep paralysis, and 329 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: towards the end, like a physician was like, if you 330 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: sleep on your side, you'll be fine. Really yeah, They 331 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: were like, if you sleep on your back and it's 332 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: and you have sleep. Else is just start sleeping on 333 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: your side. And I was I'm sure that's not true 334 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: the time, but the way the doctor said it, I 335 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: was like, oh, just sleep, become a side sleeper. 336 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, So there you go. That's how you get rid 337 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: of Freddy Krueger. 338 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: Guys, just that easy. We have a friend I won't 339 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: name because they but they did DMT with another person 340 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: backstage of a comedy festival and they both. 341 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 2: Did DMT at a com in the green room. 342 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: What I'll tell you, I'll tell you off pod. But 343 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: two comics that we know up in Portland did DMT 344 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: in a green room after their sets together, and after 345 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: they both came out of their experience, they both had 346 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: visualized that Eminem, the rapper, had walked in, had a 347 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: conversation with both of them, told them they were really funny, 348 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: shook them like, dapped them out, and then walked out 349 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: and they both saw it. No, that's so funny. So 350 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: I kept the making who the comic was that said 351 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: hi to them, but it's not Eminem. While they were 352 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: slightly resembles Eminem. 353 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: He is blonde, short haired blonde guy. 354 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: Johnny Pemberton, He's five 't eleven, but yeah, it's still 355 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: like it as Johnny came and it was like, what's that, guys, 356 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: and then they were like, it's Eminem Marshall Mathers. 357 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 2: So here this is this is a very long article 358 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: and so I'm not going to get into the entire thing, 359 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: but it's this is the section. More than folk tale 360 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: or tall tales, that the same peculiar hallucinat hallucinations are 361 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 2: independently reported across distant cultures indicate that these bizarre psychological 362 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: effects are not cultural fabrications or coincidence, but manifestations of 363 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: a shared underlying chemical and neurological basis. Chemical and genomic 364 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: analysis performed on lan Maua asiatica at the Natural History 365 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: Museum you have to have revealed no traces of any 366 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: known psychoactive compounds, suggesting that something entirely new is waiting 367 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: to be discovered. In other words, lan Maua assiatica appears 368 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: to harbor a chemical compound capable of reliably evoking this 369 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: unusual experience of Lilliputian hallucinations the discovery of that chemical 370 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: may in fact hold the key to understanding one of 371 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: the most mysterious dimensions of the human psyche. Isn't that fascinating? 372 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: Dude? 373 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: There's no psychoactive compounds that have been recognized in the mushroom. 374 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 375 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Um wowie zowie. That's crazy, right. 376 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: That it's just something totally totally that we've never come. 377 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: From the gut. Maybe it's not coming from the brain 378 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: at all, right, but this fact you see little cartoonish 379 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: dwarves or little figures. 380 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: It's the same across cultures. Like the rest of the 381 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 2: article was about like different people and different like there 382 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 2: was a Chinese professor who did it. He saw little 383 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: little people. There's somebody else in a different culture who 384 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 2: saw little people. 385 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: I really want to try it. 386 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 2: I kind of want to try it. 387 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: Of course you do. That's so fun, micro Dosa. I 388 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: want one little guy at a time walking up to me. 389 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: On my shoulder. Yeah, what's happening. 390 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: That's so cool. Remember when vice was actually good? Remember 391 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: when VISs sent the guy on LSD to the Westminster 392 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: Dog Show. That video I want to see that, Oh 393 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: my god. It's probably from twenty ten. Twenty. It's old, 394 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: but a guy takes a lot of acid and then 395 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: goes as a journalist to the Westminster Dog Show and 396 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: is just looking at all the different dogs and groomers 397 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: and petting the dogs. And at one point a fan, 398 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: there's a big fan, just like a normal barn fan, 399 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: blowing air. Yeah, and he just is standing there and 400 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: the fan is blowing him and then blowing this dog's 401 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: fur and he's just somewhere else. He's just tripping his 402 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: balls off. I'm sure it's still on YouTube. Just a 403 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: YouTube search LSD at Westminster Dog Show and it was 404 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: Vice probably like twenty eleven, twenty twelve, and it is 405 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: you could see as he really starts getting going, but 406 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: then he's just standing there looking at some like a 407 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: chow or a Pomeranian, and you can just see his 408 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: brain trying to figure out what he's looking at. Oh, 409 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: it used to be so good. Oh I love that. 410 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: That would be intense, so oh my god, just to 411 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: be around people, would be around people, let alone a 412 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: million monsters. 413 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: And like the security that's probably at a dog show 414 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: and just being at an arena would be difficult, you know. 415 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: Speaking of Kurt in these trying times, quality and performance 416 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: is more important than ever. 417 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: Superior handling and a luxury interior is a must. 418 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: And that is why the twenty twenty six Alita Holmes 419 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: is our choice for all the roads less taken. 420 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 2: Whether hitting the open road or getting groceries.

Sometimes your shift can 454 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: go from routine to wild in the blink of an eye. 455 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: That's what happened at Saint Andrew's Village retirement community in Pennsylvania. 456 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: Nurse has recently encountered an unexpected guest one hundred and 457 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: sixty pound black bear. Wow.

The staff reacted quickly 466 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: and fought the bear back using a walker and then 467 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: lord it out of the building using rice crispies. These 468 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: are great nurses. 469 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: Look at that stick and carrot. 470 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Picture this. So we're putting that Angelina Walker is like, 471 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm not just going to give you the facts. I'm 472 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: taking you she is the Truman pody of nurse dot Org, 473 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: which is the tom Wolf. It's eleven PM and you're 474 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: working the night shift. Suddenly everybody noise. 475 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 2: Everybody is asleep. 476 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: They've been asleep for five and a half hours exactly. 477 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: They had their two ounces of milk, they ate their yellow, 478 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: they watched Chippendale's on their phones. Suddenly a noise makes 479 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: you think, not another for alarm, but no, it's a 480 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: bear rummaging through the halls. Probably not the right word rummaging, 481 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: but we're gonna go with it. 482 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, rumbling down the halls. 483 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: Maybe nice. There is this is where nursing instincts kick in, 484 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: minus the bear specific training. Of course. One nursing assistant 485 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: bravely grabbed a walker talk about resourceful, yeah, and used 486 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: it to steer the bear away from the residence rooms. 487 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: Who knew walkles walkles walkers could wokles could double. That's 488 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: baddetoe it aub. Nurses are prepared for medical emergencies, fires, 489 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: even storms. Not storms, you say storms, but bear invasions. 490 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: That's a new one. Yet it highlights a key nursing principle, 491 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: non malfeasance, which means not causing harm. Here the staff 492 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: put themselves in harm's way to protect those who could 493 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: not protect themselves. Saint Andrew's Village praise their nursing team 494 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: for their quick actions, which likely prevented any injuries. A quote. 495 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: We are incredibly proud of our team's quick thinking and 496 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: dedication to ensuring the safety of everyone in our community. 497 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: End quote. Nurses take note, the next time you're preparing 498 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: for your shift, maybe pack some bear spray along with 499 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: your stethoscope just in case.

You guys have heard us 544 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: talk about this on the podcast. There are less jobs. 545 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: There are less TV jobs, so less writers are working, 546 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: less actors are working, less crews are working, less directors 547 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: are working, so there's less jobs. And all these agencies 548 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: fired huge chunks of their writing agents. A lot of 549 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: those people became managers. But that doesn't mean there's more work. 550 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: That just means there's more managers. So right now, there 551 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: is a great laying off trend in Hollyweird and the 552 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: whole country seemingly. Yeah, because all of us are employees 553 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: of the studio system and the television system. So just 554 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: changing jobs doesn't mean there's more work.

Really they 642 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 2: were the tastiest fucking chicken thighs of everything. 643 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: Highs are the meat. 644 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, But the secret was is that she uh, it 645 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 2: was a new recipe she just tried, but I've never 646 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: heard of this. You take olive oil and you put 647 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: it in a pan, and then you put twelve anchovies 648 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 2: in the oil, and the anchovies essentially like disintegrate into 649 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 2: the oil, and then you cook them in that oil 650 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 2: and then bake them for a little bit and then 651 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 2: you just throw some lemon on it. And it was 652 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: like there's no anchovy taste. It was just the most 653 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,479 Speaker 2: flavorful chicken I've ever eaten. And that's all I'm gonna 654 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 2: do from now on is cook everything in twelve anchovies 655 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: dissolved in olive oil.

We sat outside and we put 672 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: them on saltines and we had a nice time. 673 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: I just didn't think it was great. And I'm a 674 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 2: fish guy. 675 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: I love fish. 676 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: I love fish so much. 677 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. I imagine you trying to sneak a thirteenth anchovy 678 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: into the pan while she's looking at a cookbook, and 679 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: then she catches you right before it goes and just 680 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: smacks you with a larger fish across the face, kicks 681 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: you out of the kitchen. Comedic genius, folks, that's what 682 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm imagining. 683 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 2: Raccoons maybe echin closer to becoming America's next pet, affectionately 684 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 2: referred to as trash pan as the masked mammals known 685 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 2: for rummaging bins freeazy food are evolving, It's been based 686 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 2: on their proximity to humans, even starting to look cuter. 687 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 2: A new study says that's amazing. Evaluation of nearly twenty 688 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: thousand photos found a clear reduction in snout length in 689 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 2: urban raccoons compared to their rural cousins, a physical shift 690 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 2: consistent with the early stages of domess dications seen in 691 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 2: cats and dogs. WHOA wow, Wow, that's amazing. Also, I'm 692 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 2: looking at this raccoon and definitely reduced snout and goddamn, 693 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 2: it looks cute. It looks like a little bear. It's 694 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 2: so cute. Some that have been adopted as pets have 695 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: become TikTok celebrities prove it. One particularly bull Dumpster Diver, 696 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 2: even sprinted across the pitch during a Major League soccer 697 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 2: match in Philadelphia last year. Oh there he is but 698 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 2: he's got a long snout. I'll be honest, not so. 699 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 2: Cue the striped tailed mammals, also nicknamed backyard band It's 700 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 2: come on, BBC, what are you doing? I'd spread across 701 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 2: the contiguous United States. Their ability to thrive in both 702 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 2: wild and urban settings has left them occupying an unusual 703 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 2: place in American life, beloved pet in some neighborhoods, persistent 704 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 2: pest in others. The proximity to humans could signal that 705 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 2: the creatures are growing more comfortable around us, or scientifically speaking, 706 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 2: dampening their innate flight responses. According to the study Piblisian 707 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 2: journal Frontiers and Zoology, the softening of their features could 708 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 2: be due to shifts in their fight or flight response 709 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: on the cellular level. It says the urban domestication starts 710 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 2: with trash. The studies co author Raphael Lesh of the 711 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 2: University of Arkansas Litorac, told Scientific American trash is really 712 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: the kickstarter, she said, wherever humans go, there's trash, and 713 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 2: animals love our trash. But to take advantage of this 714 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 2: endless buffet, wildlife must strike a delicate balance, bold enough 715 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: to root through bins and navigate human environments, yet not 716 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 2: so bold as to pose a threat. If you have 717 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 2: an animal that lives close to humans, you have to 718 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 2: be well behaved enough. The selecture pressure, the selection pressure 719 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 2: is quite intense. 720 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: Yes, it is. 721 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 2: The finding. The author says, it is consistent with domestication 722 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 2: syndrome phenotype domestication syndrome. Anatomical and morphological changes such as 723 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 2: curly tales, floppy ears, depigmentation, smaller brains, and reduced facial 724 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 2: skeletons are commonly cited as some of the most salient traits. 725 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: The study says, interesting, interesting, Interesting. 726 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: These traits are seen among pets, such as dogs that 727 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: evolve from wolves. Studies also also hypothesized that the domestication 728 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 2: process is wrongly believed to be initiated by humans who 729 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 2: have captured or selectively bred animals in the past. The 730 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 2: process might actually begin much earlier than previously thought, they said, 731 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 2: notably when animals become habituated to human environments. Isn't that interesting? 732 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it would be cool to have a. 733 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 2: Like an animal in your house. Opposable thumbs would be 734 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 2: fucking crazy, dude. That that means they're opening the door. 735 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 2: You're having sex, and they open the door and walk 736 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 2: in and do whatever they want to do in that room. 737 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: Are they carrying a little tray of charcoontery? 738 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 2: They could be? 739 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they look like a little gent No, you probably 740 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: have too many pets already. Let them live, let them 741 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 1: be adorable in nature. But that is fascinating that it's 742 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: just sort of happening because we're trashy, trash people, I know. 743 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 2: And that's also like how it always happened. But yeah, 744 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 2: I always assumed they're like, oh, yeah, humans trained like humans, 745 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 2: you know, selectively bred them to look like that. No, 746 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 2: they just started naturally to have like less animalistic features 747 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 2: and more cute. 748 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: The red foxes, yeah, they did that. They thought it 749 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: was going to take whatever, fifteen generations. It took like four, 750 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: and they were wagging their tails and within six they 751 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: were dropping their ears. And still I've watched some of 752 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: the videos of dovestigate foxes and they are hyper and 753 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: they are loud, and I'm like, I'll stick with a mutt. 754 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: I'm a mutt boy. Wow, that's a fascinating one. I'll 755 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: give us a little haunting one to go out on. 756 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: How about that? Emily Fabian, you sent this one in. 757 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Emily Fabian. Best in the biz Kansas child. 758 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: A Kansas child said there was a monster hiding under 759 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: their bed. Their babysitter found a man hiding under there. 760 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's terrifying. 761 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: I got NBC NBC News Arlene lenn Than, a babysitter 762 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 1: in Kansas was checking for monsters under a scared child's bed, 763 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: only discovered a man hiding underneath the bed. The babysitter 764 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: said one of the children she's babysitting complained there was 765 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,959 Speaker 1: a monster under the bed. On Monday evening, she tried 766 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: to show the child, hey, there's nothing lurking underneath. She 767 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: lowered down and ended up coming face to face with 768 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: a man. The babysitter got into an altercations and then 769 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 1: the man fled. Goodness, the Sheriff's off Sheriff's Department was 770 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: dispatched to the home on Paton Road, just outside the 771 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: city of Great Bend at ten thirty pm. Subs suspect 772 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: was identified as Martin Villa Lobos, who once lived in 773 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: that place. Oh The depth deputies search firm but were unsuccessful, 774 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: and then the next morning he was spotted by law 775 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 1: enforcement and was captured after a brief pursuit on foot 776 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: he's being held for five hundred thousand dollars pond. Can 777 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: you imagine lowering down and seeing a man looking back 778 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: at you even as a man? 779 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:24,959 Speaker 2: Kid Wowser will never sleep well again.
