Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you should know

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot Com. Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant.

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Snowpocalypse eleven. Yeah, this is the first day we've been

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: in the office this weekend. It Thursday afternoon. Yeah. And

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I know all you northern folks like to make fun

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: of us here in the South, but it's just ya.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: You know what, next time it snows and ices seven

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: inches in your city wherever you are up north, Like,

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: don't salt any roads, don't get out any snow chains,

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: don't get out any snowplows, and see how you do.

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Saw And that guy was like, uh, I'm sorry now

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: he was. He was fine, he was a nice guy.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I'm just saying

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: we don't have the stuff to deal with it. No,

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: apparently we have ten snowplows. Ten snowplows for the city

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: of Atlanta. That's about what we don't think we should

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: go out and buy fifty snowplows. Now though I didn't

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: even know we had ten. Yeah, I thought that was

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: pretty decent. It's a southern city, so yeah, um, it's

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the weather's fault, not Atlanta's fault, and that's right. So yeah,

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: we had to come in to make sure that we

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: still continue getting everybody stuff. You should knows. I can't

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: imagine that publishing it will never happen, Chuck, Are you

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: gonna it will never happen? Dude, Chuck sory. Okay, my

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: knuckles are starting to you ready, yeah, warm enough to

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: do this. Before we start this, can I say something

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: to Australia because we're gonna be talking about Australia. They're

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: suffering through some flooding there in Brisbane. It's like a

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: five year flood, right, It's it's a big flood and

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: it's um killed so far about thirty four people, and so, uh,

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: we just want to say that, you know, we're thinking

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: about your Australia. That's an awful thing and we're gonna

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: be poking fun at you later on with all the

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: deadly creatures there and your outback steakhouses, but um, we're

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: thinking about you on a serious note. So having said that,

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: let the jokes fly. Uh, Well, that's tough you just

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: shut me down, all right, You ready, Yeah, let's do this, Okay. So, Chuck,

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: there is a couple of different guys out there in

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: the world who are in stiff competition right now to

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: come up with a cure for cancer based on scorpion venom.

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: There are two dudes and they are scrambling for their

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: lives right now. Um. There's a guy at the St.

45
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Louis University School of Medicine and there's another guy who

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: is at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan. Okay, right,

47
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: and both of them have found or are working upon

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the idea that scorpion and him something in it attacks glioma's,

49
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: which are a very very deadly type of cancer cell

50
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: brain cancer tumor. Right. Um, they go after glioma's first

51
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: for some reason. So if these guys can figure out

52
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: the treatments really weird, you inject the scorpion venom, it

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: goes and attaches itself to the glioma, and then you

54
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: radiate it and it just destroys everything. So if they

55
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: can figure out how to get this to work reliably,

56
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: they would have basically come up with a cure for

57
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: brain cancer. I knew a guy undergoing that treatment. You're joking. Yeah,

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: this was at the very beginning stages of it, like

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: probably seven or eight years ago. Yeah, this is from

60
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: two thousand six. Yeah, this guy was um. I worked

61
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: for a company that produced documentaries, like medical documentaries, and

62
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: they were documenting this guy's fight with cancer. And one

63
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: of the things I remember at the time hearing was

64
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: that he was undergoing a very experimental thing with scorpion venom.

65
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: And we're all like what, But it wasn't about that,

66
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: so I didn't learn much about it. Yeah. Interesting, it

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: is very interesting, And scorpions, of course are extremely poisonous. Right, No, Josh,

68
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: oh really, here's your here's your cocktail party. Fact of

69
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: the day. There is a difference between venomous and poisonous.

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: And the difference is not in the toxin, but in

71
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: the way the toxin is transferred from the animal to

72
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: the whatever. I never knew that I suspected as much.

73
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: So poison is transmitted passively, Uh so you have to

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: ingest it or absorb it somehow, and venom is injected, right,

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: and usually poison like say a poison tree frog, where

76
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the dart frog. Yeah, the poison tree dark frog, poison

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: dark frog, poison dart frog. Where am I getting tree from?

78
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I think they're they're in trees, right, the poison dart frog.

79
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: It creates this poison passively, like you said, usually through

80
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: a diet. That's how poison is created. And it's not

81
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: out to hurt you unless you eat it or handle

82
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: it in a way. It doesn't like you get the

83
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: toxin absorbed through your skin. Boom, you're dead, right, or

84
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: if you're a human being, you're on one heck of

85
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: a trip, I would imagine. So, uh, you said something

86
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: very important though. That's another difference. Poison is um created

87
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: through the diet, whereas venom is inherent in the animal itself. Well,

88
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: the animal creates it. Yeah, the animal creates it without

89
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: the help of diet, right right, There's like some sort

90
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: of mechanism in their metabolism that creates venom, and poison

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: is generally a defensive um as a defensive role in

92
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: venom is usually for the offense for predators. You want

93
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: to get your prey bite, Yeah, like with a fang

94
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: or a stinger, release some venom. Boom, you're fine, got dinner.

95
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Those are the differences. Yeah, So a scorpion isn't poisonous.

96
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: It is venomous. It produces its own venom on purpose,

97
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: uses it on purpose. Venomous, right, poison tree, dark frog,

98
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: that's poisonous. It even says it in the name poison

99
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: through the skin. All right, So, Chuck, this is something

100
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I've always wondered, Right, what is the most venomous animal

101
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: on the planet. I would imagine that it's something along

102
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the lines of a cobra. Maybe maybe they have them

103
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: in Florida. Those things are extremely poisonous, right, are they

104
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: the most poisonous? I'm sorry, venomous animal? How many times

105
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: do you think we'll do that this time after we

106
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: explained that we're gonna screw it up, We'll get a

107
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: very accurate number from Aaron Cooper. I'm sure, Um, what

108
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the the most venomous animal? I would think is either

109
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: a coral snake I should say before I read this article,

110
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: the black mamba maybe I've always heard those are pretty.

111
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: That's another one to the um black widow spider, or

112
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: possibly the brown recluse. Like you always hear black widows

113
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna kill you. That's what my dad always said to

114
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: me before I went to eap every night. But um,

115
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: the brown recluse. Apparently it is way way worse. It's

116
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: because they Yeah, sure, I've heard that black widows. Man,

117
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I see those all the time. They always scare me. Yeah,

118
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: well they look really scared that that shiny black body

119
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: with the red hourglass and that look like we are

120
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: you looking at I'll kill you? Uh, those are not, Josh,

121
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: but I would have guessed placed my guesses on some

122
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: of those things as well before this article. Apparently the

123
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: deadliest most venomous animal being on the planet is found

124
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: in the ocean right off of the coast of Australia. Yep,

125
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: the box jellyfish a k a. The sea wasp right

126
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: a k a. The marine stinger. Yeah, I think that's

127
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: a stupid name, like sea wasp. Sea wasp is bad.

128
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: I think they have these at the Georgia Aquarium, although

129
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I may be wrong. They have those little little translucent,

130
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: sort of fluorescent almost jellyfish. I think a lot out

131
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: of them are like that, though, are they. Well, now

132
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I know that they're not like solid orange, You're like

133
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: they have tentacles. They sort of look like jelly. Uh.

134
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: These are pale blue, almost transparent um and they are

135
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: of the most deadly creatures in the world because they

136
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: can kill a human in five minutes or less. That's

137
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: pretty quick they can. So if you're out of see,

138
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you will likely die before you reach help. Yeah, you're

139
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: going too shock. The venom of the box jellyfish or

140
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: sea wasp um. It paralyzes your central nervous system, right,

141
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: so you can't breathe, your heart stop speeding, your muscles,

142
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: stop working. You probably do all sorts of unpleasant things

143
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: in your pants. Yeah much, you have this control yourself,

144
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: and that's probably the least of your worries at that point,

145
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: because you are dying and you're swimming back to shore.

146
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: The problem is when you encounter one of these things,

147
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: if it does indeed sting you, when if you pull

148
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: your arm away, that actually tends to cause more of

149
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: the stingers to latch onto you and deliver even more venom. Right. So,

150
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: so if this happens to you, just just still play

151
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: still and let it sting the crap out of you.

152
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: How does this happen? Though, Josh, what are these little

153
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: deal he's called? Uh? They are called nematicists, right. Nematicists

154
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: are these little cells that how something called snido blasts

155
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: and this is real. Yeah, and it was a lovely

156
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: British one. She went canolst Kanto blast. It's Kate Middleton,

157
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: it was. This is the only British one we know

158
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: right now. So each tentacle has five thousand of the

159
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: nematosists that are housed in the blast. Okay, so, and

160
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the Knido blasts are basically like the little charge of

161
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: venom that shoot out, right, And there's a trigger protruding

162
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: from the nematosist, which basically is like a little it

163
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: looks like a little claw. The trigger is and when

164
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: this thing is triggered, the knido blast shoots out, deposits

165
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: the venom in you, and you're in big trouble. Now

166
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: that's just one Knido blast, right, There's apparently a ton

167
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: of these on any given tentacle. Correct, you have five

168
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: thousand stingers, uh, seventy five thousand total. If you have

169
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: fifteen tentacles nematicists, that's a lot. Oh yeah. And all

170
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: it takes is probably a few to do some major damage.

171
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I wondered if one of the reasons it was so

172
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: deadly was because there's just so many. I would definitely

173
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: think so. I think it's very powerful venom. Yeah, right,

174
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: so that the pairing of the two is deadly. Uh,

175
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and the the reaction of the um nematicist trigger the

176
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: knido blast. Now, the neumatosis is triggered releasing the knido

177
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: blast um by chemicals in our skin pheromones I would egine. Yeah,

178
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: that's key. And some Australians have very cleverly figured out

179
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: that for some reason, nylon, as in pantyhose, keeps this

180
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: chemical from seeping out and being detected by the kinnado blast.

181
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: So you can just walk right up to a box

182
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: jellyfish with pantyhose on your arm or your head and

183
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: rub the jellyfish and it won't do anything. Do not

184
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: do that, But I'm just saying theoretically you could. So

185
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: if you see some AUSS surfers wearing pantyhose, then uh,

186
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: don't want, don't don't hate. That's probably the reason why.

187
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: That's the reason why, Well, you never know, you don't do.

188
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: You might just be into that kind of thing. Luckily,

189
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: there are some cures for this there, things like vinegar

190
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: um acetic acid can render it harmless. Yeah. And the

191
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: funny it's like one of the deadliest animals on the planet.

192
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: But then vinegar like that's fine, it's crazy. And there's

193
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: an anti venom And notice I did not say anti venom,

194
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: which people usually say anti venom. That is not correct.

195
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Although it's sort of accepted now, it's still not proper.

196
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: It's at anti venn V and I n one of

197
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: my personal little gripes jib yeah, jibe, people say jive,

198
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: yes they do. Um chuck. Apparently it takes about two

199
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: to three minutes to die from a box jellyfish injection, right,

200
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: it's fast. Um. There's been over hundred people who have

201
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: died since ninety four in Australia alone. How many. Yeah,

202
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot of dead people just from this jellyfish,

203
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: just from the box jellyfish, just in Australia. And apparently

204
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: from November to May they come into the North Shore

205
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of times they're just like, well the

206
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: beaches closed until May, until these things leave because they

207
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: will kill you write. But also in Australia they believe

208
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: that there is pound for pound another jellyfish, which, by

209
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: the way, the box jellyfish is not a tree jellyfish.

210
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: It's in the family. It's not a true jellyfish. And

211
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: neither is. I'm gonna try this, but I'm pretty sure

212
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna butcher the eruke Engi. Eruk Engi I heard of?

213
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: That is that in here. No, it's the the eruk

214
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: and Gi jellyfish. It's like the size of a fingernail,

215
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: but it can kill people. It can kill you, just

216
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: this little thing right, so pound for pound, it's definitely

217
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: more venomous than the box jellyfish. But there was this

218
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: guy who there there's this thing called eruk and Gi syndrome,

219
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: and the Erukanji are a tribe of Australian Aborigines and

220
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: they live near the water, and every once in a

221
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: while one of them would go out into the water

222
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: and just mysteriously die right there swimming. So there's a

223
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: doctor who suspected that there was a jellyfish involved, and

224
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: he started looking for it and he found it that

225
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: what it's now called the eruk and Gi jellyfish. Um

226
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: But to prove his point, he took this one little

227
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: tiny jellyfish stung himself, his son, and the lifeguard on duty,

228
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: and all three of them ended up in the hospital,

229
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: like at the edge of death because of this one

230
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: little jelly fish and he's like I found it, So

231
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: that one is probably the deadliest jellyfish pound for pound, definitely. Well,

232
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: the box jellyfish we should mention too. Even if it

233
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: doesn't kill you, it is a how do you pronounce that? Dermonic?

234
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: It's dermonocratic? Is that right? So that means that it

235
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: kills your skin cells and tissue underneath. So even if

236
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: it like wraps around your arm and you manage to

237
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: get it off and live, it can like turn your

238
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: skin black and dead, and you'll be scarred for life

239
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: and no one will love you. No one will ever

240
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: love you. Can but I think you'd be so happy

241
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: to be alive. You could live without love, sure for

242
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: a little while, and then you'd be like, why didn't

243
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: the jellyfish just take me? Why didn't I wear a pantyhose?

244
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: So there it is, right, the the box jellyfish, or

245
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: at least the eric and gi un gi jellyfish, or

246
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: the deadliest most venomous animals on the planet. Right, So

247
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: are we done? No, you know as well as I

248
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: do that we're not done. Let's teasing. Let's talk about

249
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: venom in general, and uh, the reason why it's hard

250
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: to test its potency is because it's you know, like you.

251
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: So the answer to the question is, no, they're not

252
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: necessarily not necessarily what the most venomous animals on the planet. No,

253
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: no, no no, they are. Okay, I'm just talking about difficulties

254
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: and testing venom potency. It's tough because when you let's say,

255
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: you get this deadly venom and you inject it into

256
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: a lab rat, it's not necessarily gonna even if you

257
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: do the pound uh, the equation to equate it to

258
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: a human, like a full sized human. What are you

259
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: laughing at? Uh? A rat doesn't necessarily react in the

260
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: same way that a human would. Right, And what are

261
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: you talking about is the UM what's called the lethal

262
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: dosage dosage standard LD fifty, Right, you explain that it's

263
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: kind of cruel. It's very cruel. Basically, they figure out, um,

264
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: how much of a venom uh it takes to kill

265
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: fifty of a lab population. And we're not talking about

266
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: like the grad students were a bunch of mice or

267
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: rats or whatever. So let's say you have you know,

268
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: twenty UM twenty mice and you inject them all with

269
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: a venom. However much venom it takes to kill half

270
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: of them is what's considered the l D fifty measurement, right,

271
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: which you'd express in terms of like um, with a mouse,

272
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you'd be like, uh, it's five milligrams of box jellyfish

273
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: venom to every ten grams of mouse weight. Yeah, it's

274
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: it's for every one hundred grams of the animals body

275
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: weight the amount of venom, right or large animals. So

276
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: so a low number is deadly. For instance, the coral

277
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: snake has an l D fifty of one point three.

278
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: In the box jellyfishes is point oh four, So it's

279
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: the corals because the LD fifty of one point three

280
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: on I guess a mouse because it's specific to the animal,

281
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: and like a proper LD fifty measurement will say the

282
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: way that it's injected, like orally skin injected, right, um,

283
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: and then the animal, so it'll be like h zero

284
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: point for LD fifty rat comma skin transdormal um you know,

285
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: one k dash So sorry, so sorry, risk, and you

286
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: bring up an excellent point. That's it is a very

287
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: cruel way of figuring out how deadly a venom is. Right,

288
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: So in large part it's been discontinued or abandoned. Um. Well,

289
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: at least there's been calls for it. I don't think

290
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: the research is quite as fast and loose as it

291
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: once was. Right, Yeah, there was a crazy time for

292
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: l D fifty ratings. Yeah, they're trying to figure out

293
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: better ways to do this, But the whole point is

294
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: to create a scale of comparison. Like you don't want

295
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: coral snake to bite you, but you really really don't

296
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: want to box jellyfish to brite you. I don't really

297
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: want either one to bite me away from both of them,

298
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: that'd be my my call. Uh. I wonder what some

299
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: of those methods are. They didn't They didn't mention this

300
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: in the article curious what well to to measure the

301
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: potency of a venom? If they're getting away from l

302
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: D fifty, how is she gonna tell unless you kill something?

303
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's one of those things where you

304
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: know how it says like not tested on animals. One

305
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: of the reasons why there's so many products that say

306
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: that now is because they already did all the animal testing.

307
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: They're not using a lot. There's not a lot of

308
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: new stuff that they're introducing that need animal testing, So

309
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: these people didn't test it on animals, but somebody thirty

310
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: years ago didn't. It's fine that that's what the label

311
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: should say. No longer necessary to test on it, right,

312
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Like we specifically didn't test on animals. Right. Uh, let's

313
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: you wanna talk about some other deadly venomous creatures and

314
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: they're in Australia. Yeah, dangerous with really dangerous stuff. Yes.

315
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: The geographic snail Josh is found along the coral reefs

316
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: of the Indo Pacific and it is uh little brown

317
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: and white gastropod and it has the ability to paralyze

318
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: you almost instantly with a little mini spear. It's like

319
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: extends a tube, black organ with a spear on the

320
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: end of it and just boom, you swim by and

321
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: you paralyzed. And some little smaller creatures die before they

322
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: even realize they've been bitten. In't that awesome? Yeah? They're

323
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: like what the or not even what the? Yeah, just

324
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: they're like I wonder why I'm going to have for

325
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: lunch and then nothing, Yeah, then you aren't lunch. And

326
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: apparently this little spear that this protrusion um can reach

327
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: anywhere on it shells, so you can't pick it up anywhere. Yeah,

328
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: or you're in big trouble. You go at it from

329
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: like the very rear and you think I'm safe here,

330
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: and I think you'd probably use like long tongue or

331
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: something like that. That's how you handle a cone snail. Uh.

332
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: The inland taipe An, I've never heard of the snake.

333
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: It's a snake. It's an Australian. And let's talk about

334
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: its venom. Okay, the taipe hand has a venomous bite

335
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: powerful enough. This is this sign a T shirt to

336
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: kill fifteen thousand mice. It's a lot of mice death.

337
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how many humans that is, but that's

338
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: certainly more than one. Yeah, I would think. Ah, they

339
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: created an anti vennin luckily, but before that you were

340
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: pretty much toast if you got bitten by one of these. Yeah.

341
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: And do you want to talk about any even real

342
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: quick anti what antie vennin? Yeah? Go ahead. So you

343
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: know how it's made, right? Uh? No, I didn't until today,

344
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: but it's pretty awesome. Let's hear. Basically, they milk, right,

345
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: And there's actually a guy in Kentucky whose job it is,

346
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: and he's one of several I imagine he milks venomous snakes.

347
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: It makes some pretty pretty good money doing it, but

348
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot of repetitive work. Like a graham of

349
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: oh what is it, I think, um, rattlesnake. Maybe, no,

350
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: coral snake. A gram of coral snake. Venom to be

351
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: used to make any venom um is like a grand

352
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Like you can sell it for a thousand

353
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: dollars of pop. But it takes like three folks to

354
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: create a graham of this venom. Right, so the guys

355
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: working hard, but he's being paid well for his anyway.

356
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 1: They milk whatever animal it is, whether it's black widow box, jellyfish, uh,

357
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: a rattlesnake exactly, um, and they take the venom. They

358
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: slowly introduce it into a horse's system. I think I

359
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: didn't know this. The horse becomes immunized through to this

360
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: venom whatever it is right over. Yeah, And then this

361
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: this immunization is expressed in its hemoglobin. So they take

362
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: the horse's hemoglobin. That's so it's immunized horse hemoglobin. That's

363
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: an a venom. That's what they're injecting into you. And

364
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: I was reading how they do it. If you come

365
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: in you're like I got bit by a black widow,

366
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: just like Dad said, right, Um, they they apparently if

367
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: you're age sixteen to sixty, black widows are not quite

368
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: so bad like they're They're like, you can treat this

369
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: with muscle relaxers and it should go away in a

370
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: couple of days. Yeah, I've heard you feel pretty bad, Yes,

371
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: very anxious and well you have trouble brilli. But after

372
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: a couple of days it should pass and muscle relaxers

373
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: will work. And barbiturous if you're real anxious. But um,

374
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: if it's if you suspect it maybe a fatal bite,

375
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: you use this anti venom, you vandon. I'm sorry, Chuck.

376
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: You take a little bit and you, um, you mix

377
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: it in with sodium solution, saltwater, and um, you start

378
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: out with a point zero one solution and you go

379
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: up to I think all the way up to a

380
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: one to ten solution. Uh. And then that you give

381
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: them the full dose of anti venom, which is horsteam

382
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: with globin and that crazy extuff that never happens. That's

383
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: how we treat snake bites in the century. Here's some

384
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: horse blood. You mentioned pain killer. I did want to

385
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: mention quickly that the the cone, not the cone snail,

386
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: but the cone shell. I wonder if that's the same thing. Apparently,

387
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: the cone shell's venom has been developed by drug companies

388
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: for chronic pain because the venom is said to be

389
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: ten thousand times stronger than morphine. That's a pain killer

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: right there. I got anything else? Oh wait? The funnel

391
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: web spider, also in Australia, also can kill you very quickly,

392
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: under fifteen minutes. And uh it's known for being very aggressive.

393
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: So you put two two words together, aggressive spider, and

394
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: you'll see the back of my head walking out the

395
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: door for the airport. I don't like spiders. I'm not

396
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: big on spiders either, nor aggressive ones. Well, those are

397
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: the worst kind of spiders really, because you know you're

398
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: raised like well, if you leave them alone, they'll leave

399
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: you alone. Except for that one. Yeah, he'll come after

400
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: you in your sleep and crawl up your nose and

401
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: kill you. I wonder if LD fifty research has been

402
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: replaced with cancer fighting venom research. I hope so. I

403
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: hope so too. Except anothery're developing cancer in mice to

404
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: see if they can treat it with Yeah, well that's

405
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: it for um bidliest venom. If you want to learn

406
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: more about venom and see a very cool drawing of

407
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: the knido blasts of a box jellyfish type in Deadliest

408
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,879

00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: l O L means laugh out loud, and Marianner Ginger

422
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: is asking the angel question from Gilligan's Island, which style

423
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: of lady do you prefer? Like? The little farm? This

424
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: one already we have. I think I said both. Go ahead,

425
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Uh let me see um. Amber Lee Stewart says, when

426
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: was the last time Chuck had no facial hair at all. Um,

427
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: last Halloween, I did the mustache. That's facial hair, and

428
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: then I shaved the mustache after Halloween to grow out

429
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: just an even goatee. And um, I don't think I

430
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: saw you. That was oh nine, I still at nine.

431
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: I still I was around. I think I saw you.

432
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: I have a scar on my upper lip that's covered

433
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: by my stash. Is that from your handsome molder brother?

434
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: The scar? No? No, no, it's from a Latmore accident.

435
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was the last time I had no

436
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: facial here and this rivoning stuff here. Uh well, here's

437
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: one from Jennifer Lugar. Um, what do your families think

438
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: of your s y s K fame and fortune? My

439
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: family is largely unaware of it, and the stuff that

440
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: they are aware of their like, don't get a big head.

441
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: And the word fortune is not quite applicable at this point.

442
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Modest fame. My family thinks it's neat. My my nephew Noah,

443
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: thinks it's pretty cool. My brother thinks it's cool. That's

444
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot, right, man. My dad remember he finally bought

445
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: an iPod. Yeah, I still don't think he's listened to one. Yeah,

446
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't think my dad is either. Uh. Andrea Steele?

447
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: What are you afraid of? Josh? Chuck and Jerry? I'm

448
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: not really afraid of anything as far as phobias go. Um,

449
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: not crazy about spiders and snakes, but who is? What

450
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: are you afraid of? Josh? What am I afraid of? Mine?

451
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: Are more emotional like I'm I'm afraid of being left

452
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,080
