00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and it's no secret I love animals

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: and I want to cuddle all of them. But sadly,

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: most animals are not available for cuddles as their wild animals,

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: or they're that grumpy house cat who keeps rejecting me. Unfortunately,

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: I'll have to stick to giving my dog belly rubs,

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: because as cute as wild animals can be, they certainly

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: don't want to be cuddled by me. And as we'll

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: find out, sometimes a cute little animal turns out to

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: be a serial killer. So today we're going to be

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: playing a little game. See if you can give us

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: which one of these animals were about to discuss is

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: more likely to kill you than to cuddle you. We're

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: talking adorable widow sea creatures, terrifying toothy beasts, and birds

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: who look like they come from a gym. I'm a

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 1: handsome nightmare. Discover this more as we answer the angel question,

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: can you trim your hedges? With a crocodile? Joining me

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: today to play the world's Riskiest game show is comedian

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: cat Lover Garfield impersonator Joey Clift. Welcome, Joey, Hey everybody. Yeah,

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be back. I'm excited. I feel like

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: I might do well in this game. But I also

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: I just assume that every animal that looks adorable is

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: probably also not deadly, So I feel like I might

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: die pretty fast. The last time I had you, and

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I think we talked about cats, right, Cats the Musical,

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Cats the Animal, Cats the Musical, and Cats the Animal,

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: and I write, I still I still think that seeing

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the Cats movie live is the most fun that I've

30
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: ever had watching a movie live. So my my taste

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: is off, is what I'm saying. Yeah, all right, well,

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: so let's get right into or play a little game

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: on this show where we try to guess which one

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: of these animals is gonna want to cuddle you and

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: which one will kill you. And when I say cuddle you,

36
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: none of these animals actually really want to cuddle you,

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: because they're wild animals. But you know, in a situation

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: where it's like you have to choose either to cuddle

39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: it like to cuddle which one of these animals? Which

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: one would you pick? And so first up, is the

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: catfish versus the garry Ol crocodile. So I have provided

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: you with pictures of these lovely animals, and which one

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: would you like to cuddle? And which one are you

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: going to run away from? Joey so um. Looking at

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: the pictures of these animals, I my immediate gut reaction

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: based on pictures is like, Oh, that'd be cute to

47
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: cuddle a catfish. It's got the word cat in its name,

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: so of course I'm gonna be on board for it.

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: But I think that I'm going to choose the giad

50
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: or the I think I'm gonna choose the garyl. Yeah,

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to choose the garryl crocodile because

52
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: I feel like I might have heard stories of catfish

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: like eating people, so like, I think that that's actually

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: from the show Catfish, where a cannibal convinces someone to

55
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: dator and then she eats them. It was okay in

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: this situation, was the cannibal a catfish that convinced was

57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: like the cannibal and actually catfish on the show, Yeah,

58
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: it was a catfish on the show Catfish, and and

59
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the catfish catfished a human and then ate the human exactly. Okay, yeah, yeah,

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, I I believe that. Um. But yeah,

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say the garryel crocodile just because I

62
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: think I've heard of catfish eating humans. Well, I don't

63
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: think catfish actually eat humans. Now, there is a thing

64
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: that people will do called catfish noodling, where they will

65
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: their arm in a catfish den and the catfish will

66
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: chomp down on their arm and then they pull the

67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: catfish out of the water. Now, this is a very

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: dangerous way to fish because first of all, catfish will

69
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: bite you and maybe hurt you that way. Also, it

70
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: can pull you under and if you get stuck and

71
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: you are trying to get this catfish and the catfish

72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: is pulling you under the water, you can drown. And

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: there is another very important reason not to mess with catfish.

74
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: So catfish are a group of species of bottom feeding

75
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: fish found all over the world, and they're called catfish

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: because many of these species, most of them do have

77
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: these whiskers on their mouth area. They are called barbels,

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and those are sensory organs. They're also called catfish because

79
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: they love laser pointers, right exactly, Yes, yes, if you

80
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: bring a laser pointer under the water. You're gonna have

81
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: a fun time with the catfish. Not really, So catfish

82
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: do not have scales. They actually have this smooth, mucus

83
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: covered skin which helps them respiate so they can take

84
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: in oxygen and do gas exchange through their skin, which

85
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting. And the reason you don't really want

86
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: to cuddle a catfish is that they possess very powerful weapons.

87
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: They have spines on their fins that can wound you,

88
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: and in some species they deliver a stinging venom. In fact,

89
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: so many species of catfish are venomous that the Sluri forms,

90
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: which is the group of catfish, win the prize for

91
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: the vertebrate order with the most venomous species. This is

92
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: how I find out that I didn't win that award. Gee, sorry, sorry,

93
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: the Joey Cliff's order does not have the most venomous species.

94
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: True nuts, it's actually wait, what was that? Goddamn I

95
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: was gonna do a bit about Joan Rivers and then

96
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: I forgot about what Joan Rivers name was, so you know,

97
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: and she's also dead. So it's also dead because she

98
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: was filled with too much venom. She produces all the

99
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: all the people like under thirties something. Listening to this,

100
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be wondering what the hell is going on?

101
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, so like next next you're gonna

102
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: talk like talk about Charlemagne from a first person of like, look,

103
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: I was telling Charlemagne this joke and he loved it.

104
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: So the most dangerous species of catfish are the Heteroneustis

105
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: and plotosas So. Heteroneustis are a genus of Asian catfish

106
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: which can hospitalize humans with their powerful stings, which are

107
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: also extremely painful. So you know it's gonna be a

108
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: bad time with these catfish. Unfortunately, have you have you

109
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: ever been stung by anything with venom? You know, I

110
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: have lived a blessed life where I have actually not

111
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: been stung by that many animals. And maybe it's because

112
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: they since I'm an ally or something, but I have

113
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: never been stung by a bee. I've only gotten very

114
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: mild spider bites. I don't think. I don't even think

115
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I've ever gotten a jellyfish sting. And I lived next

116
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: to the beach for like growing up, so yeah, no,

117
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: I haven't. Um I think that. I also, I am

118
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: just such an indoor person that I don't think I

119
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: ever have. The closest I think I've come is when

120
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I was two years old, a bee flew into my eye.

121
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, it didn't sting me. And I remember literally

122
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: like like pointing and like I have vivid memories of

123
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: pointing at this large bee and being like, look, mom,

124
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: a bee and then like just like track me with

125
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: my finger as it flew into my eye and being like, so,

126
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, I can't really say from a firsthand experience

127
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: what venom feels like, but like, if it's anything like

128
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: a bee flying into your eye, it sucks. It's bad.

129
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: It makes you cry like a two year old. There's

130
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: this biologist and I forgot his name, but he went

131
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: around the world ranking the painfulness of stings and guess

132
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: how he did it by just stinging himself with a

133
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: bunch of different animals. Yeah, it's't that. What is what

134
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: is that? The the Kinsey scale or what is that? No,

135
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: the Kinzie scale is sexual? They think, Oh right, I'm dumb.

136
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: How sexual you feel towards venomous animals? Okay, god, oh

137
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: then I'm like a twelve out of out of one. Um, yeah, yeah,

138
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: I think, uh yeah, I I've definitely read about that. Guy. Um,

139
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's why, like it's it's a scale of

140
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: like one to five or something like that. I think

141
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: that like bullet ants and murder hornets are like the

142
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: far are like the higher end of it. And then

143
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I want to say that there's also just like a

144
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: guy with a YouTube channel. Now that's just like, watch

145
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: me get stung by this bug? Oh really, is this

146
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: a real thing or do you think it just no

147
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: is a real thing. It's like, well, I know what

148
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: I'm doing after we wrap this up. Oh yeah, I'll

149
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: send you a link. Everybody watching, everybody listening to this,

150
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: just google YouTube sting guy. I don't know if it's

151
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: actually what its channel is called, but I don't know.

152
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Guy getting stung by something will come up, Guy getting

Speaker 1: stung by something the name of the channel. So the

154
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: other group of species of catfish that you really really

155
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: do not want to mess with our the plotosis. So

156
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Plotosis are a genus of catfish that live in the

157
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Indian Ocean in New Guinea and the Western Pacific. They

158
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: live in fresh, brackish and marine water, so they're They're

159
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: found in a good variety of places, and some species

160
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: can get as big as four ft long, and their

161
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: stings are extremely venomous. So one species, the striped eel catfish,

162
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: has a sting so powerful it can be lethal. They

163
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: are pretty unassuming looking. They're actually kind of cute in

164
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: my opinion. There it's that photo that I showed you.

165
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: They've got the little whiskers, they've got that silly little

166
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: catfish mouth. But I don't find that's something that cute

167
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: could harm me. It's so cute. Yeah, they have these

168
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: black and white stripes. They're like a little stripy water kitty.

169
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: Cute little water kitty. But it will kill you if

170
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: it stings you, and if you're it doesn't always kill

171
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: you if you're stung by one of these catfish, but

172
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough not to die, they can cause

173
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: necrosis and that can require amputations. So you know that's

174
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: not great. I don't think. I mean, I think that, like, look,

175
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: if that's the risk I gotta take to pet a catfish,

176
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: then like that's the risk death or amputation, amputation or

177
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: or cuddling as slimy animal. I will choose cuddle. You're

178
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: willing to put it all on the line for these catfish. Yep.

179
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Uh So in contrast, the garyl crocodile is extremely frightening looking.

180
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: So it is a crocodile, as is perhaps observable by

181
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: its name. So crocodiles are a very very old order

182
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: of reptiles, originating over eighty million years ago, and garyles

183
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: have been around a little more recently, so they're only

184
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: five million years old, fresh and uh sort of spry

185
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: five million years and they are found in very small

186
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: numbers and a handful of Nepal and India's freshwater river systems.

187
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: They're actually critically endangered, and they used to be found

188
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: in a much wider range in the northern Indian subcontinent,

189
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: but now there is just kind of a handful of

190
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: them left. And these are big, big, big guys. They

191
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: grow from eight to nineteen ft long, and they way

192
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: up to two thousand pounds. So you know, that's that's chunky.

193
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: I am looking at the picture of you sent me

194
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: of this crocodile. I wouldn't have guessed that it's so

195
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: big because it just looks so happy, like it's like

196
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: a it's like a side view, and its mouth is

197
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: open really wide, and it looks like it's saying high, howdy, yeah, yeah,

198
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: it's and it's kind of cute because it has well, Okay,

199
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: I guess my definition of cute is maybe, you know, unique.

200
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: But it has this really long, thin snout with a

201
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: hundred and ten two hundred and twelve really sharp teeth,

202
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: and they I don't know, it's just kind of funny

203
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: to me that they have these huge bodies and then

204
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: these really long, skinny snouts. I think it's I think

205
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of cute. There's there's not. It just does

206
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: look like it looks kind of like, oh yeah, that

207
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: that's a Pixar character. But they are actually carnivores, and

208
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: they look kind of I don't know, they look very prehistoric,

209
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe even more so than other crocodiles. Like just it's

210
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: that weird proportion of these long snouts with all these

211
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: teeth sticking out, and they just look like, uh, something

212
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: from before humans were around. Yeah, I mean, what's isn't

213
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: that the story of like crocodiles have evolved the least

214
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: of I mean, it's like they're like a crocodile today

215
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: and a crocodile ten million years ago looks like basically

216
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, Yeah, they haven't evolved all that

217
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: much I mean, we know that they have evolved somewhat,

218
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: especially because like you know, you see the garryl crocodile

219
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: that's about five million years old, and then the older

220
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: crocodiles are over eighty million years old, so there's some

221
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: evolution and different species coming up. But yeah, they haven't

222
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: really had to change all that much. I mean, I

223
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: get it this, this crocodile definitely does look it looks

224
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,239
Speaker 1: like it looks cute. I don't know that that crocodile

225
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have to change a thing. You don't have to.

226
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: I I love it for the way it is. It

227
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have to change for me, and it is to

228
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: make you fall even more in love. They're pretty shy,

229
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: so they don't tend to trifle with prey larger than

230
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: a fish. Those long snouts with all those scary looking

231
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: teeth are actually just used for fishing. They have sensory

232
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: cells on the tips of their snouts that can feel

233
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: vibrations in the water, so they just kind of snap

234
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: up fish and skewer them in those rows and rows

235
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: of teeth. Um, do you think that every time it

236
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: does that, it makes like a gulping sound, like its

237
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: small as a fish? And then just goes like I do. Yes, absolutely, oh,

238
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and it gets cuter. So they actually typically kind of

239
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: like run away from humans, and those really highly specialized

240
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: jaws are not used for stalking and hunting and chomping

241
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: down on bigger prey, and it probably so when it

242
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: does attack a human, it can't really do all that

243
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: much damage. I have seen these claims online where it's like, oh,

244
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: it's jaw strength is really weak, but that's actually not true.

245
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: As far as I can tell from the latest research,

246
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: their bite force is the same as any other crocodile

247
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: its size. It's just that, first of all, it's non

248
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: aggressive with humans. It's very shy, it'll shy away from us,

249
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't hunt big prey, so it doesn't

250
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: really occur to it to go and bite you necessarily,

251
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and if it does, it usually realizes its mistake and

252
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: runs away. So actually, biology professor and crocodile and alligator

253
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: researcher Greg Ericsson describes the way that crocodile bite force

254
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: works like this. He says, quote, it is analogous to

255
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: putting different attachments on a weed eater, like a grass cutter,

256
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: brush cutter, tree tremor they all have the same type

257
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: of engine. There are bigger and smaller engines with higher

258
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: and lower horsepower, but they have the same attachments. So

259
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: so I have a question, Uh, do you fill them

260
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: with gasoline? Do you fill the gary with gasolink that

261
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: they're an engine? Is that like? Do I? Is that

262
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: how you make them bite? Um? I wouldn't recommend it personally,

263
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I'm not a mechanic and I'm

264
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: not a crocodile mechanic, but I don't think you should

265
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: fill them with gasoline. I wish I wish that. I

266
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: wish that. I was about to say, I wish that

267
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: you were a crocodile mechanic, but then I was like, no,

268
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be selfish. I wish I was a crocodile can.

269
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: But you know, if you if you get a garryle

270
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: and you put some fish around your weeds, it probably

271
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: will trim the weeds. I guess it's yeah, like trying

272
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: to go for the You're like holding this massive procodile

273
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: and it's like snapping out the fish and maybe it'll

274
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: get a few weeds in there. Yeah, I buy that.

275
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like efficient, but I feel like

276
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I feel like it would work. It's not efficient. So yeah.

277
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 1: So basically, the garyls are big enough to have a

278
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: big bite force, and they do. It's just they have

279
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: these little weed trimmer snouts and you know, they probably

280
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: could do a little bit of damage to a person

281
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. They just don't want to. And

282
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: I find that really sweet and adorable. I feel like

283
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: weed trimmers are like I don't like, if you got

284
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: hit by a weed trimmer, it wouldn't if it was

285
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: like the one with the string on it, Like, it

286
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't kill you, Like it would hurt, but like, well

287
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: not if you're not doing it creatively. Yeah, wait what

288
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: do you mean by that? Nothing? Nothing? Nothing. So the

289
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: garryl they're very shy. They haven't been able to find

290
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: a single case of a garryle killing a human and

291
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: there have only been three recorded cases of non fatal

292
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: attacks since the seventies, which makes them far less lethal

293
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: and less dangerous than a catfish than even dogs and deer.

294
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: And do you actually kill a lot of people every

295
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: year just because of car accidents? Yes, they're they're the

296
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: lemmings of the road. Like basically, instead of jumping off cliffs.

297
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Now I do have to do for legal purposes defending

298
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the honor of the lemmings. Lemmings don't actually follow each

299
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: other off of cliffs. That is a dirty lie made

300
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: to slander the Limmings, and they actually don't follow each

301
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: other off of cliffs. But yeah, dear, do seem to

302
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: love to get into car accidents with people. I think

303
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: it's an insurance scam. I think the deer are trying

304
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: to get insurance out of it. Last, do you do

305
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: you think that that that lemming lie has been spread

306
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: by big lemming? Big lemming? Why would it be spread

307
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: by big Lemming. It would be like spread by big

308
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: Marmot or something. Yeah you got a point, Yeah, I

309
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: get it. So with these garry attacks, most of them

310
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: appear to be the garryle just being confused and thinking

311
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: that the person is a fish. So like if you're

312
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: out bathing or swimming, they mistake body part of the

313
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: human as a fish and they give it a bite

314
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: and then they're like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.

315
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: I I didn't realize you're a person, and they run away.

316
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: And then then the one case since the nineteen seventies

317
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: where it was like a serious attack. It was probably

318
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: actually mistaken identity, so it was recorded as either being

319
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: a garile crocodile or a mugger crocodile. And mugger crocodile

320
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: share the same waters as the garryles and they're much

321
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: more aggressive and dangerous to humans, so I think it

322
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: was a mugger crocodile. To be fair, the the human

323
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: that that crocodile killed arms and legs were made of fish,

324
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: so it was really asking for it by going in that. Well,

325
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: didn it didn't even kill the person, So even if

326
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: this is a garyl, there's not even a single case

327
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: of an alleged garile attack where the person died or

328
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: even sustained really life threatening injuries. So yeah, yeah, that

329
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: sounds like just the dictionary definition of like, oh yeah,

330
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: they're more afraid of you than you are of them,

331
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: so exactly, exactly, And just in case you haven't fallen

332
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: in love with the garry ale yet, here are some

333
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: more cute facts. So males have a little bulbous protrusion

334
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: on the tips of their snout called a mud pot.

335
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: They use these as resonance chambers to help them make

336
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: mating calls, and they also blow bubbles to impress the female.

337
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: I hope that those males, I don't know. I love

338
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: those males little mudpots. It's just such a cute. It's

339
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: such a cute courtship thing of like, may I blow

340
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: you a bubble? Ma'am. Well, it's also just that they're

341
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: called mud pots is adorable. It is pretty cute. They

342
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: also let out cries when they're in pain that has

343
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: been described as sounding like bawling. They're like just these

344
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: long snouted, shy, little bubble blow and cry babies. Yeah,

345
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: thinking about it, I really think I made the right choice,

346
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: even if catfish don't eat people like yeah, I think

347
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: I made the right child choice. And wanting to cuddle

348
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: a gariel, Yeah yeah, I mean, don't don't cuddle it,

349
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: just respectfully socially distanced, say hello to a gariel. Oh

350
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I'm gonna cuddle. Oh oh please don't.

351
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: The Creature Feature podcast is not endorsed cuddling any kind

352
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: of crocodile, including the gariel. Do not try this at home. Okay,

353
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: good now that now that that's clear. Don't listen to

354
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: her do it? It sounds great. Legalist flamer just makes

355
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: me want to do it more. Yeah, no, they I

356
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be they will be traumatized if you

357
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: try to cuddle them. They are so shy. Just you know,

358
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: be respectful, Be respectful of the gariel. And they're critically endangered,

359
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: so I feel like we should really care about them.

360
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Even if they're kind of scary looking. They are adorable

361
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: and sweet and they need our help. Okay, So I'm

362
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: not gonna Okay, so I won't cuddle a gariel. I

363
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: will just appreciate. I'll just smile multiple times throughout the

364
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: next week whenever I think of the term mudpot, that's

365
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: perfectly fine. Why is catfishing called catfishing? You know the

366
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: phrase that means someone pretends to be someone online, like

367
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: pretending to be the King of Norway, but when you

368
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: meet him it turns out he's just three dogs in

369
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: a trench coat. You think it's because catfish look cute

370
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: but can be sinister. Sadly, that's not where the term

371
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: comes from. The phrase gets its meaning from the movie Catfish, Uh,

372
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: kind of documentary about a man forming a relationship with

373
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: a woman who isn't who she says she is. The

374
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: term catfish is used by the woman's husband, who talks

375
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: about how live cod are shipped from Alaska to Asia,

376
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: but due to being sedentary, their muscles get mushy and

377
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: they don't taste as good. So to keep them active,

378
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: fishermen put catfish in their tanks to agitate them and

379
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: keep them swimming around. Thus, the woman in the story

380
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: is the quote catfish keeping others on their toes. But

381
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: is this true? Well, I have no idea about the

382
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: veracity of the events in the documentary, but what about

383
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: whether catfish are used to keep cod in shape. One

384
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: of the explanations I've seen is that catfish are cod's

385
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: quote natural enemy, But that's just not really true. God

386
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: that would be caught near Alaska live in the Northern Pacific,

387
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: their bottom dwellers, living deep in the cold ocean. And

388
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: while there are catfish who live in the ocean, there

389
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: aren't that many species in the Pacific Ocean, and those

390
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: that are typically stick to tropical or temperate waters down

391
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: near South America, far from the cold waters that the

392
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Northern Pacific cod inhabits, so they're not natural enemies. Nor

393
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: can I find any record of fishermen actually trying to

394
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: use this tactic to keep fish fit. That means that

395
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: the story behind catfishing is itself a catfish. Or wait,

396
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: it's not because the story is not true, so catfish doesn't.

397
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Never mind, forget it. When we return, we're going to

398
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: talk about another couple of water dwelling credits. One is

399
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: a sweetheart and the other could kill around thirty people

400
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: and under a minute. Appearances can be deceiving or sometimes

401
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: they're not. Sometimes an animal looks sinister with huge teeth

402
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: and huge claws, and it turns out yep, it's a

403
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: grizzly bear and it will definitely tear you to pieces.

404
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: Making snap judgments about what animals are most likely to

405
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: kill us probably saved a lot of our ancient ancestors keysters.

406
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: But now that we have the modern technology of podcasting,

407
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: let's take a look at some of these animals and

408
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: see if the science backs up our initial impressions. So, Joey,

409
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: I think you probably know the answer to this section.

410
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: But who would you rather cuddle a cute little octopus

411
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: or one of the biggest sharks in the world. Okay,

412
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: so I I know that the blue ring octopus is

413
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: one of the most venomous animals out there, so I

414
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't pick the blue ring octopus. But the basking

415
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: shark is a large shark whose mouth looks like it's

416
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: out of just a Cathulu story. I could be tricking you,

417
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: like this could be the section where I'm like, they

418
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: both kill you and eat you dead. Congratulations, you lose.

419
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that I want to cuddle the I

420
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: want to say I want to cuddle the basking shark.

421
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's take a look at the basking

422
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: shark then. So the basking shark is the second largest

423
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: shark in the world, second to the whale shark. It

424
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: will be the biggest some day, don't you worry? Buddy. Well,

425
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Finding Dory has kind of given the

426
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: whale sharks some really good press, you know, because it

427
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: was that that character in Finding Dory. What was the

428
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: whale sharks name? I don't remember. Yeah, I'm sure if

429
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: I've seen Finding Dory, but I'm sure it's cute. That

430
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: movie look cute. There's this like near sighted whale shark

431
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: and it's very cute. But yeah, the whale sharks are

432
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: also cute and harmless. Um, but basking sharks look a

433
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: lot more menacing than a whale shark. Whale sharks kind

434
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: of they're cute, they have little spots, they look kind

435
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: of happy and friendly, But basking sharks have these massive,

436
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: massive mouths. It has gray skin. It grows to be

437
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: around twenty six ft, which is eight meters long, and

438
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: it can reach lengths up to forty five ft and

439
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: way up to ten thousand pounds, and they can live

440
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: to be around fifty years old. So they really are

441
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: sort of a I don't know, just like this, they

442
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: look like this ancient monster from the depths, and like

443
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: looking at the photo, like its mouth really looks like

444
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: like it looks like it's opening its neck into its

445
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: rib change basically right, it looks like a portal into

446
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the nether world. And like, although like the basking shark

447
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: picture that you sent me, like he does look puffy

448
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: like in a cute way. And then like it's like, oh,

449
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: I I kind of would like to pet the stuffed

450
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: animal version of a basking shark, but I also am

451
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: aware of that shark skin. It's like if you pet

452
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: the wrong way, can like cut you open. Yeah, it's

453
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: actually they have denticles, little protrusions coming out of their

454
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: skin that are actually quite rough. Yeah, it feels like

455
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: sand papery. But but my point stands, I would like

456
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: to cuttle that shark. I will take that risk. They

457
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: do look like pretus stark monsters, and because they kind

458
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of are prehistoric monsters, they evolved around four hundred million

459
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: years ago, and one of their most notable features, other

460
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: than just being ginormous, is that they have that huge mouth.

461
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: They have rows and rows of teeth in the mouth,

462
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: and they can open the mouths incredibly wide enough for

463
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: an adult human to just kind of waltz right into

464
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: if you wanted to just like do to do here

465
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: I walk into a shark mouth. But as you may

466
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: have guests from this sort of overall redemption arc of

467
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: this episode, they are harmless to humans. The teeth that

468
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: are in their mouth are tiny, and the real business

469
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: end of this shark are all of the little gill breakers.

470
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: These are bristles on the inside of its mouth that

471
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: help them catch plankton because they're just filter feeders. So okay,

472
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: so basely I could I could walk into the mouth

473
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: of basking shark and not die. Ah Yeah, I mean

474
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't try it because you could drown if you

475
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: get stuck in there, you could you could hurt the

476
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: basking shark, but it's probably not going to know what

477
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: to do with you. It's probably just gonna try to

478
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: get away from you. I'm not gonna want you in

479
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: its mouth. I mean, did you ask the basking shark.

480
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Did you ask, like hello, knock on its front mouth

481
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: part and be like, you know, knock knock here I am,

482
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: and it's just gonna be like, uh no, you're not

483
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: planketon like please don't uh do you think I mean,

484
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: do you think it basking shark has a doorbellancenout and

485
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: no solicitors. H Yeah. I feel like if you knocked

486
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: on the side of a basking shark like it was

487
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: a door, then it would open up. There's like a

488
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: couch in there, and it's like the other version of Pinocchio,

489
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: where instead of getting eaten up by a big old

490
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: meanwhile they were eaten by the super chill basking shark

491
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, we actually kind of like it

492
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: in here. I feel like if if a basking shark

493
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: mouth is big enough to walk into, like, I feel

494
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: like a basking shark's mouth is probably bigger than most

495
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: of our apartments. We should live inside basking sharks exactly.

496
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: It's good rent rent controlled basking sharks. Yeah, So they

497
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: feed by moving forward with their giant mouth agape, and

498
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: they suck in massive amounts of water, and that water

499
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: flows through their mouth over their gills, and the plankton

500
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: gets stuck on their gill raker bristles. So when you

501
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: look at that open mouth, you see all those white bands,

502
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: and those are areas where the gill attaches to the shark,

503
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: and then on those sort of like white bony structures

504
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: are these raker bristles, and then it's just you know,

505
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: the plankton and other small marine life gets stuck in

506
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: there and it's got a nice snack. Um. I'm curious about,

507
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: like how much how many pounds of plankton does a

508
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: basking shark have to eat to survive, because like, yeah,

509
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: plankton is fairly small and basking sharks are gigantic. Are

510
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: they sucking in like a ton of plankton per day?

511
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: Like what? I don't know, I mean, I'm not sure

512
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: how much plankton itself they suck in. They do suck

513
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: in a thousand, eight hundred metric tons of water every hour.

514
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: So that's like, what is that it's like for that's like,

515
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: that's like four big gulps a lot. So yeah, that's

516
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot. But they also have the smallest brain to

517
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: body ratio of any shark, so we do know that

518
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: brain size is not always an accurate predictor of intelligence.

519
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: But it's also true that these basking sharks are really

520
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: don't need all that much brain because they are very

521
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: they're very chill dudes. They have a very passive lifestyle.

522
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: They don't have to they don't really have predators to

523
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: speak of. They you know, just swim through the ocean

524
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: lazily slurping up plankton. They are the very picture of

525
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: chillness in the ocean. Ah, so it's a big old

526
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: dummies what you're saying, So big old dom dum. So

527
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: it's like it's like if if a shark was Garfield,

528
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: it's that these are the car You're totally right, these

529
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: are I'm gonna I'm gonna cram so much lasagna down

530
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: the sharks. Well, if it's lasagna but it's made out

531
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: of krill in plankton, I'm sure it would appreciate that.

532
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: What do you think the shark's opinions on Monday's are

533
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it likes it. I don't think it's

534
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: fond of the Monday. Yeah, I don't think so. And

535
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: then like normal is just like a pupper fit man,

536
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: Let's okay, uh like a million dollar idea. Let's make

537
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: shark field shark field. He's always trying to trying to

538
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: male normal. The pufferfish to Atlantists, so they are they're

539
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: so relaxed, they're not aggressive at all. They often bask

540
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: near the surface of the water, so that's their name, uh,

541
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: filter feeding and enjoying the warmth. But they're so incredibly

542
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: chill that they don't try to avoid boats. And so

543
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: these poor guys often get injured by boats because they're

544
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: just like two chill ax to like run away from

545
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: a boat and they're like, oh, that looks like a

546
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: new friend, and then they get bonked on the head

547
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: and sounds I know, I know, but there's there's such

548
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: big sweeties, we got it. We gotta protect them, gotta

549
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: be careful, have good boat etiquette around these these just

550
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: big old fun girl garf sharks. So I'm gonna ask

551
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: a shipping question, who who would you friendship ship a

552
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: basking shark and a catfish, or a basking shark and

553
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: a garryl crocodile. I would definitely be the basking shark

554
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: and the garryl. I think, yeah, like they're like one

555
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: is like really chill, and it's not that it's like

556
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: super shy. Like the basking shark is not shy, it's

557
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: just like laid back. But then the garryl is really shy.

558
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: So it's like, I think a laid back h shark

559
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: and like a really shy crocodile would get along pretty well,

560
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: just like it's okay, little buddy, it's just that Captain

561
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: Hokey shut a jerk. They would not be found in

562
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: the same environment, but you know, just as a thought experiment,

563
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: they would definitely beat buddy up. I think I agree.

564
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: Have a buddy comedy. That buddy comedy, me too, me too.

565
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: So now let's talk about one of the smallest octopuses

566
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: in the world, who is a lovely little cutie. I

567
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: love this octopus and it'll wreck you. It'll totally destroy you.

568
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: So there is a group of small octopus species called

569
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: the blue ringed octopuses, and Joey, I know you know

570
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: about these guys and also are and appreciate these blue

571
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: ringed octopuses. Yeah, something that I love about blue ringed

572
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: octopuses is that like they look the most like a

573
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: squeaky toy. Like it's just this bright octopus. That's like

574
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: I think they're around like ten centimeters in length in

575
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of cases, including arm length. Yeah, they're like

576
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: five to eight inches to twenty centimeters, like very teeny, meanie.

577
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: They could fit in the palm of your hand, and

578
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: like they just looked out of there, like they're covered

579
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: in blue colored in like spots that are blue and yellow,

580
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: and like it's just they look so cuddly, but they're

581
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: one of the most venomous animals in the entire animal

582
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: into them. Yes, they look like they come from candy

583
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: Land and they're here to be your friend, but they

584
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: are most assuredly not. And speaking of fitting into your palm,

585
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: I see, I've seen so many pictures of people like

586
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: holding these in their palm, and it makes me shutter

587
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: and cringe every time I see it. It's you you

588
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: do not want to touch them, which you will find

589
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: out why very soon. So the blue ringed octopuses are

590
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: found in the Indian and Pacific oceans near Australia and Japan,

591
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: and like many other octopus species, they eat small prey

592
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: like crustaceans, shrimp, and other small marine animals. And as

593
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: their name suggests, they are covered in beautiful, bright blue rings.

594
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: If you if you haven't seen a picture of a

595
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: blue ring octopus, just google it. They genuinely look really cool.

596
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: They're very cool looking, and they can actually change their

597
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: color like a lot of other cephalopods and octopuses, so

598
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: the rest of their skin is often a kind of

599
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: modeled round and tan, which helps them blend into their environment,

600
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: and the blue rings aren't as noticeable, but if you

601
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: provoke them, they will turn a brilliant yellow and they're

602
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: bright blue rings flash a warning at you. So they

603
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: are able to do this like other octopuses, using chrematophores,

604
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: which are color changing cells in their skin, and that

605
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: allows them to turn from that sort of camouflage modeled

606
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: color to a bright yellow and then to actually make

607
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: those blue rings flash, they don't use chrematophores. They use

608
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: muscle contractions to create this like rapid flashing of these rings,

609
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: and it's beautiful to look at and it might be

610
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: the last thing you see, honestly, do you I'm gonna

611
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: spill some blue ring octopus expert T yeah, do it okay?

612
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: So Um. A couple of years ago, I was working

613
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: on a national geographic show and we were doing a

614
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: segment on blueing octopuses. I was emailing with a bluing

615
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: octopus expert whose name escaves me at the moment, but

616
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: she was she was really great, and um, after doing

617
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: an interview with her about the blue ring octopus, basically

618
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: like sent me an all caps email that was just like,

619
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: please don't tell people that their venom is located in

620
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: the chromato force. And I was and like, at no

621
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: point do I think that I referenced that to her

622
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: as a thing that I was going to bring up.

623
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: I think it's something that she just felt like, Oh,

624
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: this is what this researcher is personally very frustrated by.

625
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: So oh I see, I see. So they're there people

626
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: think that the venom is in the chromato force. Yeah yeah,

627
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: or like the venom is like it's created by the

628
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: camato force, or like the venom connected and yeah, It's

629
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: like I got like an all caps of just like

630
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: please love God, don't help help people that, and I

631
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: was like, listen, it's a dangerous rumor that everyone's talking about.

632
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: It makes me very mad. It's trending on Twitter every day. Yeah,

633
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, so I guess what I actually So

634
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a real sneaky one and say that

635
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: they are caused by the crematophor. No, they're not. They're not.

636
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: So it's funny because they're not super aggressive, but if

637
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: you if they think you're about to eat them, they

638
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: will kill you with the most venomous bite that you

639
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: can get in the ocean. So they are the world's

640
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: most venomous marine animal. They are brimming with neurotoxic tetradotoxin,

641
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: which they will release into you by biting you with

642
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: their cute little beak, and they have enough venom in

643
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: their little, itty bitty bodies to kill around thirty adult humans.

644
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: So since we're under quarantine, that's more people that I've

645
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: had in person interactions with in five months, which is actually,

646
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm not that cool. That's honestly probably how it would

647
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: have been even without quarantine. Another thing that's really interesting

648
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: about blueing octopus venom is um. One of the ways

649
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: that they hunt their venom is soap pot potent is

650
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: they'll basically just drip their saliva out of their mouths

651
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: into the water around them, and then fish will swim

652
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: through the saliva and then get instantly realized and they'll

653
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this is easy, Well, don't mind if

654
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: I do. It's like, well, I guess if this is

655
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: just paralyzed in front of me, so yeah, And but

656
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: if it bites you, it can kill you within just

657
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and it kills There's a few things

658
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: that happens when you get that venom in your body,

659
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: and they're all bad. So you can get heart failure,

660
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: respiratory arrest, and total paralysis of your body. And if

661
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: you're not treated, you will most likely die, usually from

662
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: suffocation because your diaphragm is paralyzed and you can't breathe.

663
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: So you need your diet the contraction of your diaphragm

664
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: to be able to have your lungs function, and if

665
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: that's not working, you can't breathe and you will die.

666
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: So tetrad toxin, that narrotoxin that they are love to

667
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: just like ooze out, works by blocking the sodium animals

668
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: that neurons need to function, which prevents your brain from

669
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: sending signals to the rest of your body, and you're

670
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: basically your nervous system from working. And yeah, it's bad.

671
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: How many people do you think the last words were, Hey, Mark,

672
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: check out this front the octopus? Oh you know probably several. Yeah, yeah,

673
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: they'll they'll mess you up. Yeah, and there's no anti venom,

674
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: so to survive, you have to have some form of

675
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: artificial respiration until the toxin works its way out of

676
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: your body. So if you're put on a ventilator or

677
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, given CPR, and you know, basically you have

678
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: to somehow have someone else, a medical professional, preferably giving

679
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: you oxygen until you can work that out of your body.

680
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: And yeah, so it's it's not a good time. You

681
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: do not want that to happen to you. Do not

682
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: pick them up. I've seen pictures of these in people's

683
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: hands and they're like bright yellow and bright blue spots,

684
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: which means it's piste and it's like about to buy you.

685
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: And it's just it's like watching videos of people like

686
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: standing up on those big satellite towers or something. It's

687
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: just every part of my body is clinching in total anxiety.

688
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: Feel like there are a lot of YouTube videos of

689
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: people like feeding bears out of their cars. It's just like,

690
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh god, it's just like this, And like,

691
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: am I watching this on YouTube or live leaks? Because

692
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: if it's YouTube, I probably find If it's live leaks,

693
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: then I'm about to watch a murder, a bear murder.

694
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: So what you're telling me about the blue ring octopus

695
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: is that if I were to start a YouTube channel

696
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 1: where I was getting stung by venomous animals and telling

697
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: you how it felt, I should not start with the

698
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: blue ring octopus. Yeah. Yeah, that's you shouldn't start or

699
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: in with it. Although if you do in with it,

700
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: that would, yeah, it would basically if you incorporate that

701
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: into your weird show where you try to mutilate yourself

702
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: with animals, that will be the end of your show.

703
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, what I was about to say, I

704
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: was about to say something something to the effect of

705
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: like or what it, and then I was like, oh, yeah, no,

706
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: I would wants I would not survive that thing. But

707
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: in terms of nitpicking over where the tetrato toxin is located,

708
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: like you were talking about where the researcher was saying

709
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: it's not in the chromatophores. Stop telling people that. So

710
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: it's actually most of its body is full of tetrato toxin.

711
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: It's found in almost every organ in its body, and

712
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: it is created in the salivary glands, and it is

713
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: actually produced by a symbiotic bacteria that lives in those

714
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: salivary glands, and it helps them produce that toxin. And

715
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: actually mother blue ring to octopuses will inject their eggs

716
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: full of this u tetra to toxin. They hate their

717
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: babies because they hate their babies. No, it helps them

718
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: produce their own tech to toxin. So it's like they're

719
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: giving them the bacteria and the recipe to create their

720
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: own deadly, deadly toxin. I love recipes from mom. You know,

721
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: I wish my mom pumped me full of tetradoxin before

722
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: I was born. Mom, I love your cookie recipes. Could

723
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: you give me something deadlier? Yeah? If I had, If

724
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: I had deadly venom, man, how would my life be different?

725
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: Hue flashback, flashback flashback. Uh yeah, And it's it's immune

726
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: to its own venom, which I guess is good because

727
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: otherwise would die. One thing I want to add for

728
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: the blue ring octopus is if you if you're like

729
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: hearing all this information about the blueing octopus and you're thinking, like, wow,

730
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: bluing octopus seems real, full of himself, deadliest venom blah

731
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: blah blah. They actually are hunted by like mantis shrimp,

732
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: And if you go online, you can find a lot

733
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: of videos of like mantis shrimp just using their fists

734
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: to beat the ship out of bluing octopuses, really taking

735
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: them down a peg. And it's it's the most like

736
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: real life Pokemon, but in a way that's not that's

737
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: weirdly not like disturbing. It's just like, oh, yeah, this

738
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: blue rey octopus is just or this mantis shrimp is

739
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: just pummeling this blue I don't know. I have a

740
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: soft spot for octopuses, even ones that want to kill me,

741
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: so I think I would be sad to see it

742
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: just getting punched reputedly. Do you think the blurring octopus

743
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: wants to kill you or no, they don't. They actually

744
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: they kind of go out of the way not to

745
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: kill you, so they will that's why they flash that

746
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: warning at you. They're actually pretty shy. They don't like

747
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: chase you and try to bite you. That it's like,

748
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: if you pester it enough, it will eventually bite you

749
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: because it thinks that you're about to kill it. But yeah,

750
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: that that coloration is actually api semtism. So it's saying like, hey,

751
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm actually super deadly. You don't want to mess with me.

752
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: Look at me. I'm like yellow and covered in pretty

753
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: blue dots. And then you know it's like, hey, marthall,

754
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: look at this cool octopus. It's so pretty. Underest humans,

755
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: we don't we we don't understand what you're telling us. Animals.

756
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: When you're pretty and bright, we want to suck on

757
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: you like a lolly pop. Yeah, I really want to know,

758
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: Like how many famous last words if people were, hey,

759
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: check this thing out. I mean, it's funny that you

760
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: would say that there are Like I remember reading about

761
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: this thing in one of my biology classes where I

762
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: was this guy who picked up a couple of cone

763
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: snails and those are also they have very deadly harpoons

764
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: that they can shoot at you with a neurotoxin. And

765
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: he like picked it up and held it up and

766
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: he was like like said something along those lines of

767
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: like hey, check this out, and then it like shot

768
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: him in his neck. And how is it. Yeah, yeah,

769
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: so don't if you don't recognize it and it's a

770
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: wild animal, don't pick it up. Actually, unless it looks

771
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: like a cat and go nuts because it's probably friendly. Right.

772
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: Just have you learned nothing from our catfish section? I mean,

773
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: look everything that I listened to win in one ear,

774
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: and then in my mind I just remember the cat part,

775
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: and then all the information just shot. It been too

776
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: busy building the Garfield shark world to really retain any

777
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: of this information. We already established it's called shark field. Sorry,

778
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: shark field all right? How come it's mostly non mammals

779
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 1: like invertebrates, fish, and reptiles who get all the cool

780
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: deadly venom. Mammals can have venom, such as the slow

781
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: lorist platypus and Solenodon, a cute little shrew like animal

782
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: with a poisonous bite, but most of us mammals are

783
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: stuck with our fur, hair and milk. Well, evolution doesn't

784
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: really care about what we think would be cool. All

785
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 1: that matters is whether you live to pass on your gene.

786
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: And it turns out mammals have other more effective tools

787
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: for doing that sharp claws, teeth and in primate hands

788
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: and a brain, which means we can defend ourselves and

789
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: kill things even quicker than most venom works. While it's

790
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: true that the blue ring octopus can kill things and

791
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: under a minute, most venom takes a while to kick in,

792
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: whereas teeth and claws can typically take something down much faster,

793
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: so we don't really need venom to get the job done.

794
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: Whereas an itty bitty, squashy octopus has very few other

795
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: weapons at its disposal, so it needs something to keep

796
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: other fish and marine animals from treating it like a

797
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: living couchh ball. When we return, we're getting out of

798
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: the water crawling up on land to talk about a

799
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: couple of very intimidating birdies. So birds, they're adorable, little

800
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: feathery puff balls who chirp and cheap and steal the rito's.

801
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: But once in a while there are bird species that

802
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: remind us that they're actually living dinosaurs. So we're gonna

803
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: meet two big birds and find out if they want

804
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: to teach us about letters or you know, kill us. Joey,

805
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: you know what like birds? Right? Yes, I'm well well

806
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: aware that you were, uh the pre eminent bird meme

807
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: creator on the Internet. That's right, that's right, the bird memes.

808
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna go on my tombstone. Like created

809
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: the bird memes, coined the word burb. Every time I

810
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: see the word burb on the internet, like I do

811
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: think like Golden created that. Thank you. I think it's

812
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: true too. I like did a little digging and I

813
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: think one of my stupid bird tweets was the first

814
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: to use that term. There could have been like parallel creation,

815
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, like parallel invention someone else at the same time.

816
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: But you know, I like to credit myself because it

817
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: makes me feel good and powerful. So powerful, yes, you

818
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: and you controlled the bourb Empire. I am in charge

819
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: bird memes and soon the world. So I want to

820
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: talk about two birds who look I think they both

821
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: look equally goofy and terrifying. And so you're gonna have

822
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 1: to pick which one you want to just like chill

823
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: out with and which one you're gonna try to avoid.

824
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: So we have the cassowary and the shoe bill stork,

825
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: and I have provided pictures of these guys to you.

826
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: And the cassowary is a flightless bird who looks like

827
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: a mop with the turkey head and the shoe bill

828
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: stork is a huge stork like bird who has a

829
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: massive beak and looks like the world's most terrifying bird muppet.

830
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, shoebell stork is the animal that I

831
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: would cuddle one because it just like looks it just

832
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: like looks like a muppet. And then too, if I

833
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: remember correctly, cassowaries like kill people by cutting them. I

834
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: also thought that catfish eight people. So I don't know,

835
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: what do I know? Yeah, so you have chosen correctly.

836
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: I think you're you're three for three, right you. Congratulations,

837
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: you have survived the animal gauntlet. So yes, Cassa waries

838
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: you don't really want to mess with. And I will

839
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: tell you exactly why. So. Cast A waries are a

840
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: group of birds similar to the emu, but smaller, and

841
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: they are actually related to the emu. They are found

842
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: in Australia, Indonesia, the Maluku Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

843
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: They grow up to five to six ft tall, so

844
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: that's one point five to two meters and they have

845
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: these bright blue heads, a pink wattle or an orange neck,

846
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: and they basically it looks like a weird turkey head

847
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: and the females are larger and more brightly colored than

848
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: the males. Feminism clean slay literally, so they have a

849
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: hard keratin casque on top of their heads. So a

850
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: cask in birds is it's like this sort of like

851
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: keratin structure and it looks like a shark fin on

852
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: top of their heads. And it's speculated that it is

853
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: used as like a resonance chamber for their call. And

854
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: they can run up to thirty miles an hour. They

855
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: can jump up to five ft and they're good swimmers,

856
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: so you cannot escape these these uh, terrible beasts. It

857
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: says a lot about how I view the world that

858
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: when you said that, I looked up at the cast

859
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: weary picture and then thought my initial thought when seeing

860
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: it was like, why is that bird wearing that silly hat?

861
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: And then I did not stop to it all analyze.

862
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: The thought of just assuming that the bird was wearing

863
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: a silly hat was weird, and I was just like, well,

864
00:52:54,640 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: carrying on, I think it pulls it off, honestly, get

865
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: it works. Yeah. But they so they mostly eat fruit,

866
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: and they are omnivores, so they'll eat invertebrates and small vertebrates.

867
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: They don't hunt people, but they can absolutely kill you

868
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: if they want to, if they feel like it. So they,

869
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: like you said, they can cut people because they have

870
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: an enormous dagger on each of their feet. It's like

871
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: they have switchblades attached to their toes, so their inner

872
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: toe has a five inch long sharp claw that can

873
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: mess you right up. And they are attached to these

874
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: incredibly powerful legs, so they can kick you, they can

875
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: stomp on you while stabbing you. I mean, I would

876
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: watch a horror movie where the slasher movie villain is

877
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: a cassowary. I mean, if you think about like how

878
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: Jurassic Parks should have looked, where all the dinosaurs had feathers,

879
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: that's essentially it, right, like it those raptors had feathers.

880
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: You look at that and yeah, like it, like that's

881
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 1: just a feathered velociraptor right right exactly. Yeah. And they

882
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: so you would think that they're probably just going around

883
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: murdering everyone, And I think that the tails of their

884
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: deadliness are a little bit overblown. So they don't hunt people,

885
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: they don't go around killing everyone. But they are one

886
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: of the only birds to have been definitely documented killing humans.

887
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: So the other birds where there's like actual documentation of

888
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: them killing people are maybe EMUs and chickens. To be

889
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: fair about the chicken case, is that the chicken had

890
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: a knife attached to its foot because it was in

891
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: an illegal cockfight and it killed its owner. I think

892
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: so in that case, the chicken was armed. Yeah. Also,

893
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: like I don't know, big ups to that chicken, like

894
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: fight the power. Yeah, can't say. I you know, I

895
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: think the chicken was in the right in this case. Yeah,

896
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: that chickens are terrible. Yeah, that chicken's cool as part

897
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: of the chicken revolution. Yeah, I'm just gonna believe that.

898
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: That's that's basically chicken chick of Vara, Like chicken used

899
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: its knife to like to like slay its captor and

900
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: then now they live on a chicken island and they're

901
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:26,919
Speaker 1: all super planet of the chickens. A chicken Abraham Lincoln. Yeah,

902
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: like Abraham chick Lynnet. I was trying to make it

903
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: um Abraham Lincock. Yeah. No, no, that's all right, chick

904
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: lab Lincoln and Lincoln. No it's not. Yeah, we've got

905
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: to move on. We've got to move on. Kill us

906
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: this a bit, well, no, we must, we must persevere.

907
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: Like the mighty animals that we've talked to before that

908
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: the person. So despite actually being capable of killing us,

909
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: there have actually only been two recorded cases of a

910
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: cassuary killing a person since nine nine. But they will

911
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: mess you up if you tangle with them, so most

912
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: of the time, even if they don't kill you, they

913
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: will give you puncture wounds, broken bones, and lacerations, and uh,

914
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,720
Speaker 1: they usually attack in self defense. But the other reason

915
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 1: that they can be so aggressive is because humans feed

916
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: them and they become like like bears. If you feed bears,

917
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: they will start to become very assertive and very aggressive

918
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: because they want the food that you give them. Honestly,

919
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: that makes me like cassuaries a little bit more because

920
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: it's like a cat when it's like when it's like

921
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: six in the morning, and like the cats, just like

922
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: I want freck First, if you give a cassuary a cookie,

923
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: it will stab you with its knife feet Yeah, I

924
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: mean the children's book. But you know I'm a children's author. Now,

925
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: if you give a Castwaria cookie, you will stab you

926
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: with its knife hook knife yeah, yeah, my new book.

927
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah I read that. Let me know. Let me know

928
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: in the comments if you want me to write that book.

929
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: So they actually will attack cars because they associate them

930
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: with food, which is a bold move, I think. Uh.

931
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: And they will attack dogs unprovoked because often wild dogs

932
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: are predators. But yeah, if you bring your dog on

933
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: a walk around where these cast swaries live, it can

934
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, kill your dogs. So don't do that, and

935
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: don't feed them and just leave them alone. So them

936
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: attacking cars because they associate them with food makes a

937
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: lot of sense. But I want to believe that the

938
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: reason that they attack cars is they want to they

939
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: want to avenge their fallen Dear brothers, this is for you, dear,

940
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: This is for you, dear, or it's another insurance scam. Yeah,

941
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: these animals out for our insurance moneys. I get that.

942
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: So now let's talk about the shoe bill stork. So

943
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: shoe bills look like terrifying gray, feathery dinosaur like storks

944
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: with huge boat shaped bills. They're called shoe like. The

945
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: descriptions are like their bills are shaped like shoes. I

946
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of shoes people are wearing. I

947
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: guess these kind of look like wooden clogs maybe clogs

948
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: look they look like I mean, honestly, they look not

949
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: dissimilar to a lot of like Kanye West's shoe designed Easy. Yeah,

950
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: they look they look a lot like easy. So it's

951
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: like the easy Bills short the easy Bill Stork. I mean,

952
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: if they changed his name to the easy Bill Stork,

953
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. Easy easy Bills. Yeah, So they

954
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: actually are not storks. They are more closely related to

955
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: pell likins, and they grow up to five ft tall

956
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: with a seven to eight foot wingspan, and they can

957
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: totally fly and they live in the swamps in eastern

958
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: tropical Africa. So yeah, they are very intimidating looking birds.

959
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they kind of look like

960
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: a huge muppet, which is like it's like scary and

961
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: cute and you're it's very confusing, and they have these

962
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: like their eyes somehow have this expression of just like fierceness.

963
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain. It doesn't look it doesn't look

964
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: scary like it's going to attack you. It looks intimidating,

965
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: like it's super wise. And if you don't answer it's

966
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: riddle correctly, you will just like disintegrate. What do you

967
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: think it's riddle is? And do you think it's about fish?

968
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: Where should you charge me, point it on my bill.

969
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good that's a good rattle. Actually, Like

970
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking at more extures of them, and they look

971
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: they they look very much like a human wearing a

972
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: bird cast. Due. Yeah, yeah, it's that. It's a little uncanny, right,

973
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: it's an uncanny. That's kind of why they look like

974
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: a big muppet, like a big bird, like the first

975
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: draft of Big Bird. That's like oddly terrifying or something.

976
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: It looks like they're like their legs look very bird like.

977
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Their upper body it's like you can almost see pectoral

978
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: muscles and it looks like it looks like they have shoulders. Yeah, yeah,

979
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: which they you know, it's just the wings. But yeah,

980
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: it looks it doesn't It looks off. It looks a

981
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: little uncanny. Although I'm just scrolling through Google images, Um,

982
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I found a picture of one opening its mouth and

983
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: it's the cutest dancing like it definitely looks like it's

984
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: saying like, hey, guys, what are you doing? Well, the

985
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: way it says hey guys, what are you doing is

986
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: making machine gun noises with their So what is that?

987
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: That's insane? Is that edited in any way? No? No, no,

988
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: so It's called bill clattering, and it is a greeting

989
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: to communicate with each other. It can be used like

990
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: as a mating call too mates to alert other birds

991
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: that this is their territory, and it can be used

992
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: by nestlings as well to communicate with adults and vice versa.

993
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: So basically like they're high, honey, I'm home, is just

994
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: machine gun noises that they make by clattering their bills. Um,

995
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: do you remember paper Planes by M I A. Yeah?

996
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: All I want to do is bing bing bing bing,

997
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: and eat lots of fish. I really want to hear

998
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: the shoebill Stork edit of Paper Planes by the shoe

999
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: bill Stork cover of m I A Want to do

1000
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: and eat your salmon. There's a there's an all animal

1001
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: cover of drowning Pool. Let the bodies hit the floor.

1002
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: It's very good. Have you seen that. I'll show it

1003
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: to you after the show. It's very good. But so

1004
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: they do hunt, but they hunt fish, baby crocodiles, eels,

1005
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and monitor lizards. So they're not joking around when it

1006
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: comes to hunting in the swamp. Uh, And their way

1007
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: of hunting is actually kind of creepy. So they will

1008
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: stand perfectly still waiting to ambush their prey. And it's

1009
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: almost they're kind of like the you know, like the

1010
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: doctor who Weeping Angels, because they're like they're gray, and

1011
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: they stand really still, and they do literally look like

1012
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: a concrete or marble statue, just like sitting in the swamp.

1013
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: That's something that I'm noticing even just scrolling through photos

1014
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: of them, is like they really do look like statuesque

1015
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: like they look they look like not like real creatures.

1016
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, I would walk past this thing and think, oh,

1017
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: what a weird statue, and then here a machine gun sound?

1018
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Is it guns me down? Yeah? Exactly? I mean. And

1019
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: for these the fish and little reptiles that they eat,

1020
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: and even baby crocodiles, they will wait around and when

1021
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: they see their prey, they will jump out of statue mode,

1022
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 1: lunge at them and open those huge beaks that look

1023
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: like these like weird boats and engulf their prey and

1024
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: basically anything within you know, about a foot radius of

1025
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: their prey. So like they'll get a bunch of water

1026
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: and mug and vegetation and everything in that beak. And

1027
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: then they start to use their beak as like a

1028
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: big colander and they shake their head back and forth,

1029
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: draining everything out of their beak that isn't their live prey,

1030
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: and then they decapitate the prey with the edges of

1031
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: their sharp beak. This this big bird first cut got

1032
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: real dark. Jim Henson was, Yeah, he was, he got

1033
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: pretty dark with those early versions of Sesame Street. Jim

1034
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Henson was going through some ship. But so they are

1035
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: like a horror villain for all of the small critters

1036
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: living in the swamp, but around humans, they're really harmless

1037
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: and somewhat tolerant of us, and they are totally docile.

1038
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: They're non aggressive, and they're actually a favorite among bird

1039
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: watchers for how easygoing they are around observers, and like

1040
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: the most intimidating thing they'll do is like get into

1041
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: a staring contest with you and just like stare at you.

1042
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: And it's I feel like I would I would poop

1043
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: myself if this giant, weird statue bird was just staring

1044
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: at me. But yeah, they don't. They don't typically attack humans.

1045
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: They just like they're like, now you get the idea,

1046
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna mess with me. I know we've

1047
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: done a little bit of friendship shipping before this, but

1048
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: do you think a shoe bill, a shoebill stork, and

1049
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: a gariel crocodile would get along because they're both shy.

1050
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, because like the shoe Bill does baby crocodiles,

1051
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: so I feel like that would be a point against it. Like,

1052
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to get along with you, dude,

1053
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: but like you ate my babies and that's kind of

1054
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: not chill. You know. Yeah, I get that. So basically

1055
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: that that's a that's a buddy movie where they learned

1056
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: to trust each other, got it. I do feel like

1057
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: the the shoe Bill and the basking Shark would get

1058
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: along because it's like, hey, you've got a big mouth.

1059
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I got a big mouth. A look at our big

1060
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: mouths um. I want to see the Tom and Jerry

1061
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: re launched. That's just a shoebill stork and a gariel

1062
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: crocod I'd watch that, yeah, yeah, but it wouldn't be

1063
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: really yeah. I guess like a baby, so a baby

1064
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: gariel and a shoebill stork, because then that that would

1065
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: be sort of the predator prey thing. But then like

1066
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: the baby grows up to be really big and then

1067
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: it's like oh, but then he's just a shy shy

1068
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: There's there was that like Disney movie similar to that.

1069
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,959
Speaker 1: What was it called? It was a Lambert the Sheepish Lion,

1070
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: And it's like this, like a lion gets adopted by

1071
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: a sheep, it grows up to be big and then

1072
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: like kills a wolf for something and everybody loves them.

1073
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: But he's like, you know, very sheepish. Um. Oh yeah,

1074
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember that movie. Uh More Disney lies about

1075
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: the behaviors of animals, Yeah, I feel like you know,

1076
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: And that's the thing about the lion King is like

1077
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: none of those animals would actually be able to be friends,

1078
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: nor can they sing. I mean, lions do occasionally like

1079
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: adopt uh prey animals, but then they often end up

1080
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: eating them anyways. Yeah, so it's like maybe they would

1081
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: tolerate Zazoo for a while and then just like you know,

1082
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna eat you today. It's Today's the day.

1083
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: You've been in my ear about our infrastructure budget for

1084
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: like way too long, and I am gonna eat you.

1085
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: But that's like, that's one of the things I love

1086
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: about cats is like you'll be petinam They'll be like

1087
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: really loving it. And then they're just yeah. Yeah, house

1088
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: cats are just little tiny wildcats. If they were big,

1089
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: they would moll us every day. Cute cute, yes, but

1090
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you like, I wish man now,

1091
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: I want a domesticated version of like the gariel crocodile,

1092
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: just like a little one, you know, to cuddle. Yeah,

1093
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: that would be I guess that of these animals, just

1094
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: based on like appearances, let's be very shallow here, which

1095
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: of these animals would you want to cuddle the most? Okay,

1096
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: again with the disclaimer that you should never cuddle a

1097
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: wild animal. But we're on an imagination journey, I would say,

1098
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: so we have Now are we including the deadly ones

1099
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: or just the ones that aren't deadly? I guess that's

1100
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: we're including all of them, and it's this is a

1101
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: world where you have protections against whatever makes them deadly.

1102
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I see, Well, I don't know. I actually I think

1103
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: it would be the shoebill. I love this freaking muppet.

1104
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: It's so good. It's just it's so goofy, and I

1105
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: love the like scary goofy nous of it. It's like

1106
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: aggressively goofy, but it's not aggressive, so That's what's so

1107
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: wonderful about it. For appearances, I would say immediately catfish

1108
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: because it has the word cabinet. But like, realistically, I

1109
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: feel like the shoebill stork is the one that I

1110
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: would like, and it just looks like a muppet. I

1111
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: would like pat it on the back and say good job,

1112
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: and then it would make something that would make a

1113
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: machine gun noise, and I'd be like classic, Oh, you

1114
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: feel like we'd go fishing together with a couple of brusquees,

1115
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: would be wearing one of those like fishing hats that's

1116
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: got the tackle dangling from it, and you know, we'd

1117
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 1: be just like sharing a beer, talking about our lives,

1118
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: you know, laughing about stuff. I'd use its machine gun

1119
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: sounding beak to rob a bank. It would be great,

1120
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: a real Bonnie and Clyde situation and fun. I love it. Well,

1121
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining me today, Joey and

1122
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: learning which animals are friends and which ones. Well, they're

1123
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: still our friends, but they would kill us if we,

1124
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: uh were Yeah, we didn't say they were good friends. No, No,

1125
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't say they were doormat friends. They

1126
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: will assert themselves. Got anything to plug um? Yeah, you

1127
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: can follow me on Twitter at Joey tainment Um, follow

1128

Speaker 1: me on Instagram at Joey Clift with like five eyes

1129
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: and then um, this is uh some context of the

1130
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: thing I'm about to plug. Um. I for a long

1131
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: time have been annoyed at Sufie and Stevens for not

1132
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: finishing his fifty States project. He's a folk musician who

1133
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: was popular in the mid two thousands and he said

1134
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: he was going to make a full album of music

1135
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: for every single U. S. State, but he gave up

1136
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: after two albums. So this has been sticking in my

1137
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: cross since two thousand five, so for fifteen years. And

1138
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: finally at the start of Quarantine, I decided to finish

1139
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: sufi on Steven's fifty States project with the help of

1140
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: the Internet, and I did it. So you drag him. Yes,

1141
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: you can go on SoundCloud dot com slash our fifty

1142
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: States project and listen to fifty three albums and two

1143
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: epis for every an album for every U. S. State,

1144
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: double album for Rhode Island, an album for the Moon

1145
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: because there's a U. S flag up there, so we

1146
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: gotta EPs for Washington State. Yeah, that means the state.

1147
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,759
Speaker 1: It will be a state. Um, and the EP for Washington,

1148
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: d C in Puerto Rico. It's five ten songs. This

1149
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: took me two months of NonStop work, so I don't know.

1150
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Check it out, listen, look, check out the ciss of

1151
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,879
Speaker 1: the sis of his project. I dedicated myself to to

1152
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: get through quarantine. That sounds incredible and worrying. Actually, oh yeah,

1153
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: it's definitely a cry for help in somewhere. You can
