Easy I said anything for the talk Tick-Tock Okay I see where a beachgoer in Australia Lucky to Remain unharmed As she filmed herself Again anything for the talk

Picking up a venomous octopus that kills humans. The woman with the username Catapila, K-A-T-A-P-I-L-A-H, amorphalis. Yeah, she goes by that username, cradling the blue-ringed octopus

in her left hand. The footage is captioned this, the dangerously beautiful sea. And then when she was made aware that you're lucky to still be alive, there, catapyla. Amorpha phallis. She was like, oh my gosh, I remember that it happened again.

Anything for the talk. And then we have another example of anything for the talk. We have a TikToker who said that she sprays tanning spray in her nostrils because, hey, I don't care. So this is going to take 10 years off my life. I don't care. I don't want to be old anyway. Old people are ugly. So the tanning nasal sprays,

many of which are available for sale in the U.S., all claim to increase production of melanin, right? Is it melanin or melatonin? Maybe melanin. Melanin. That's what gives you the tan? Is that right? Melanton makes you fall asleep.

I thought for sure he was going to do the amorphalus again. but it's melanin, right? I mean, it's not, that's, so that is correct, it's not melatonin. Amorphophalus. Yeah, that's what it is. In the skin after it's inhaled.

So, okay, anything for the talk, right? Just spray that tanning lotion up those nostrils and feel better about yourself. And by the way, right? I don't want to be old anyway. Old people are ugly. Welcome to Chewing the Fat

Okay, you know that no one supports truckers more than me and this program chewing the fat. No one. I mean, that's a fact. Now, I've talked about how I think it's a mistake that the truckers are going to try to, you know, go to D.C. and choke Washington, D.C. down like a boa constrictor. That's what the guy who's putting the trucker convoy, the Freedom Trucker Convoy together, said they were going to do to D.C. And I know they've already got the Capitol fenced off for they're going to be there next week for the state of the union from President Joseph Robinette Biden. And so the National Guard apparently is going to be deployed now in a potential, you know, to intervene in the trucker COVID-19 protest.

So I've come up with the plan. I talked a little bit about the other day about just the truckers just taking the day off. Instead of doing a convoy and blocking traffic and doing all that, just take the day off, trucker day off. So I think, and as I'm driving to work today, it's sleeting and raining here in the DFW area,

and it's just agonizing. But I braved through that for you. Now, I was thinking to myself, truck off hashtag truck off and that's the day off and it's just truck off huh come on now

I want that I want that trending I want the day off from the truckers to make the protest on the mandates truck off hashtag truck off you're welcome

and I was thinking about how to help and save NBC in the Olympics. This is what I am. I'm just a helper today. All right. I've got the truckers with the hashtag truck off. You know how good. I mean, you could use that for anything.

Just truck off. Joe Biden. Truck off. Justin Trudeau. Truck off. Mandates. Huh? Come on now.

I know. Again, you're welcome. But as I was thinking about the NBC Olympic Olympics, debacle and they were concerned about you know the viewing they were down 40% from the last Winter Olympics and those Winter Olympics were not really not good either

when you're off from those you're a little bit lower than you're saying that you got 60% more on the streaming platforms well I mean the numbers are way down and they offered all these new different platforms that were going to provide

different events but really the events kind of suck. The way they did it, the way NBC did it, really was not done well at all. So here's what you do, NBC. I'm going to give you how to fix it on chewing the fat. So when this breaks and NBC says, well, we've come up with a plan. And this is what we're going to do. You can say, isn't that what Jeff Fisher and chewing the fat said back right after the Winter Olympics in 2022? Did you know yesterday was two, two, two, two? Oh, never mind. This is a bad joke. For those of you listening live yesterday was 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2.

Okay, so what NBC needs to do is, yeah, 2-2, no, 2-2, 2-2, right? 2-2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, Tuesday. That was yesterday. All right, stop it. All right, so NBC, all right? They just need the Olympic app. All right, just one Olympic app. Then all the other sports can be underneath that app.

So I can go to the NBC app, and if I want to watch curling, if I want to watch ice skating, if I want if there were a health sport I want to watch, I can click on that inside the Olympic app. And if there's nothing live happening, I have access to the previous event. But if something I then I could even watch the previous events if something live is happening that I don't care about inside of that Then everybody has access to everything The platform is open and your numbers are going to go through the roof your advertising numbers are going to go through the roof You know how many minutes of advertising? You're going to have each one of those sections inside the overall

sponsored NBC Olympic app you are welcome NBC and for I want I do want some cash money for that yeah it was an idea we already are I know but I'm telling you that's what needs to happen because then they can quit their whining and they can put whatever they want on TV whatever they want to put on the end on their on their network NBC can carry it tonight we're going to carry the Joe's skating and Joe's gonna skate in the rink all by himself and man don't you want to watch that of course you can always go to the

NBC Olympic app brought to you by Willie's Barbecue I know I know that Willie's barbecue I know he's a big sponsor of the Olympics and I'm telling you it would be awesome I would actually

have that app I would actually go to that app and watch some events I watched zero events of this Winter Olympics and I at one point I kind of felt bad because I watched a couple of the skating highlights on my social media feed and I thought, I bet you that was great. I would say that was really fun to watch.

Because, you know, I mean, I don't mind the skaters skating around doing their thing, you know. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. And I didn't want to, if I wanted to tune in to NBC and then have to go to Peacock and then have to go to whatever other network platform they had me on, Just give me one platform that I can go to. You know what? Today I want to watch curling. And I can just spend a couple hours rabbit-hulling into curling. And then tomorrow, you know what?

Tomorrow, I know, I can do skiing. Huh? I mean, how many times have you said that in your life? So many, I can't count. But it's just an idea. And, you're welcome. Okay, so the point to watch, and even if you want to talk about advertising

and talk about NBC finding ways to screw it up, yes, it's possible. But if you want people to still be able to go to your network and watch the Olympics, give them something they can't get on the app, right? Okay, so you get the app. And, you know, it's, I don't think you have to charge for it. I think the app is free.

and with commercials you can watch the live of any of the events. They have to set cameras up. Hell, they were broadcasting from Connecticut doing the China Olympics. And the guy sitting in his home in Connecticut. And they're coming down there. I mean, come on now. It's 2022. And it's going to be, you know, the next Winter Olympic is win.

2030? I know it's just a couple years away. But, yeah, I got it. I know every four years. But so you've got time. NBC. You've got time. So you put advertising inside of those windows on each of the sports. So whoever wants to sponsor snowboarding and curling or whatever, that's fine.

They can sponsor that inside the app. And you can sponsor the overall Olympic app. But what would drive you to the actual network feed would be to see the backstories that they provide and produce. Because they do so many of those on the Olympic players. And while I get kind of agonized by those stories, some of them are worth watching, and these people have had their struggles, and they work hard to get to the Olympics,

and they want to tell their story, and you want to, oh, isn't that great, they struggled, and look at the struggle, and yet he made it to the Olympics good for him. All right, let's go to the event. Now, that's my backstory in a nutshell. But that would drive you, right? That would give you a reason to watch the network,

because the network is giving you the produced packages about the athletes. The app just gives you the event, the live event and the previous events that happened during the Olympics. Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I just, NBC, all I want is just a couple of million for that. It's all, it's just a couple of mill. We can talk. I might even take just one.

And I'll sit down and we'll knock out all the next. nuts and bolts, okay? You and me. NBC and me. Ooh, that could be a show too. I can stream that on Blaze TV. NBC and me. Okay. Now we've got all my bases covered. Call me.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. So good. Speaking of apps. I see where, and I didn't realize that we needed an app for this, but apparently we do. we can't wait app

we can't wait restroom access app I know so apparently patients with Crohn's disease or ultra colitis yeah that colitis

collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease or IBD can have unexpected and urgent needs to find a restroom at a moment's notice now No joke.

I'm sure that is no joke, right? I get it. So, I mean, do you need an app? I know what you need. It ain't an app. Okay? You can call it what you want, but it ain't. For years, the foundation apparently has provided members with a physical,

I can't wait card. Is that a problem? Like, if you were to run into a place, let's say, I got to use your restroom. I've got IBD. Amorph a fallin. Is somebody saying no to you? Okay.

But if you whip out the I can't wait card, is that changing their mind? If a guy or a girl is going to tell you no. But as you run into a place and say, I've got IBD and I've got to get attack and I need to go right now. And that person is the person that's going to say, I don't care. You can't use the restroom.

You know, go out into the front of the store or something, but you can't use that. Is that person going to say, oh, you've got an I can't wait card? Go ahead. I think not. But this app will help you know where there's special places are that have access. You know, now there's legislation now that's coming due version. Thank God. the government will fix it.

They're going to require public access to employee-only restrooms for those with a medical need. Well, that's good. Now, this app will address the access challenge by increasing awareness among local establishments about patient needs. So you can get the app,

and then you can, I don't know if the app salesman come by and they, you know, give you a quick knock on the door, and they, hey, how you doing? I'm with the I Can't Wait app. And you know, you have people come in here with IBD and they also suffer from. Amorph a phallus. And we want to be able to get them right into your restroom.

I see you have an employee only restroom in the back there. So when these people come in, I don't want them to have to flash there. I can't wait card. I want them to just be able to say, I've got the app and IBD. And maybe they can, you know, maybe have a sign that they pull out of their pocket

that says, And then you let them right into the employee access bathroom. So anyway, for those of you suffering from... Amorpha fallis. Or IBD, you know, you've got the We Can't Wait app now.

So go use and be comfortable, I guess. There was due to feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling in a stunk so bad. This is why the app is needed. that was that long ago and they realized then

oh man that's when they started with the card and they said man we'll get these people a card and then now they realize that people they don't care I don't care if you got a card or not no you can't use the bathroom

and so then they go out in front of the QT and you get there was due to the feces thrown all over the walls the floor the ceiling in a stunk so bad Why did you show me your card? I wouldn't have let you in. So not only does NBC have issues.

I know that ABC has issues too, but they want to let you know that they are on top of it for you, okay? So they've got the Oscars coming up soon. And they don't know what they've got the hosts now, and they're changing things around, but where they want to let us know that eight, eight of the 23 Oscar categories will not be. presented live on March 27th.

Oh. So I would say so. But they're going to be taped in the hour before the telecast in the audience and then run at points during the show. So that's supposed to make it better and sure. Absolutely. Here's an idea. You know what? I'm here for the networks today.

I should be just a network consultant today. Perhaps ABC you could do the entire 8 to 10. You know what? You know what? Let's just do half. Let's go ahead and break it in half. Half of the Oscars could be done, I don't know, before you start your live broadcast on television,

people could watch it on your streaming platform. You know, we'll just watch it over there. Watch it on, don't you own Hulu too? Oh my gosh, you could go live on Hulu and make it a whole six or seven, eight-hour event. But what you broadcast on ABC, the big ones, you know, all the big ones that people actually care about, not the best grip this year.

Well, I didn't rephrase that for a second. I do care about the best grip. Anyway, the, you know, like the best picture and the best actor, we care about those. The best grip? I know, that's a different grip, though. But we do care about it. But that could still be on streaming.

Then we would care. We'd tune in to the, two-hour extravaganza and be done. Have a nice day. But, you know, whatever. If you want to record them an hour early, and let's, you know, I mean, you better use some of your sports producers

to get that thing turned around. Because I have a feeling that your TV people, your regular TV show people, you might not be able to turn that around as quick as you think. So bring in your sports people that know how to do it. Okay? You're welcome. My gosh, how much help do I need to give these networks?

And did you see, remember the volcanic eruption that, you know, also has, we were tsunami warnings from the Tungan Islands? Was it just one island? Or was it Tungan just one island or was it Tungan Islands? Out there in the Pacific somewhere. Anyway, Tungan. Tungan. they just

Isn't that what they're Yeah T-O-N-G-A-N If you play a Morphalus I swear it's gonna be it It's not a Morphalus It's Tungan Right

That's how it's pronounced Amorpha-Falus Yes And so they just It's been like five weeks Five or six weeks How long do we need To help these people

They just got their internet back Amazing I mean Isn't there satellites We can't orbit the globe They can't get internet. I mean, a little volcano goes off and it shuts down the internet for weeks. I mean, they just had another volcano go off in Italy.

Everybody was fine. I just, I watched the photos. They said, oh, look it, there it goes, all the ash and everything rolling down the side of the, uh, yeah, all people are fine. No one was heard in the making of this video. Okay. Maybe the tongue in people need to, you know, take some. notes from Italy. Again,

I just throwing out, I'm just trying to help. I'm just trying to help today. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus powered by Peloton IQ.

So I got an email telling me the, hey, want to know UK's best workplaces for well-being in 2022? And I thought, sure, I'll take a look. I don't really care about UK's best workplaces for well-being in 2022. But then I got into the website, great workplaces. dot CO. UK. And I see

all the world's best workplaces, world's best, not just in the UK, but that's for 2021. That's not 2022.

So I thought, did I know the world's best workplaces last year? And I looked, number one, number one world's best

workplace in 2021. D.H.L. Express, according to this. Number two, Cisco. Number three, Hilton. Number four, Ab-Vie. Ab-Vie.

Now you say to yourself, what is Ab-Vie? Because I did. It's Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arabs, United Kingdom, United States. Huh, that's where they're located at. But what is AB vibe? Not AB vibe, I know, it's ABV, right?

ABB, VIA, Pharmaceutical Research and Development. Huh. Right. I mean, okay. Salesforce, number five. 3M number 6 SC Johnson

number 7 These are all these are the top workplaces for well-being last year Now they may have slipped this year I mean AbV might not be number four this year

You just never know Amgen Amgen They're only there And Austria Austria, Colombia Italy, Mexico Netherlands

Norway, Norway, Poland Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. Huh. S-A-P-S-E. What is S-A-P-S-E? Well, they're located in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Chile, Colombia, Greater China, China, Taiwan. Huh, that's interesting that they're calling it that Greater China with China-T-T-T-T-Wan.

Taiwan in parentheses. They're trying to get past the, yeah, it's not really China, but it is China, but Taiwan is their own country. You know what? It's just greater China. China, Taiwan, in parentheses. That's cute.

They're a little S-A-P-S-E. Japan, Mexico, Peru, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States. And, of course, I mean, if you're not sure what S-A-P-S-E is. I mean, they're a multinational software corporation. Duh. Okay? My gosh.

I've got to tell people what they are. Number 10 is Roche. Number 11 is Hilty. A number 12 is A. A. First of all, we have to know. I want to know what Hilty is, too, but Hilty and A. We've got Hilty.

Hilty makes power tools, fasteners, and software for construction. Okay. I mean, no wonder they're in Austria, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, United States. They're not in Greater China, though. And I will say, Roche, number 10th, the best place to work. does say that they are in greater China without the parentheses China, Taiwan. So that's the deal.

That means they're in Taiwan. Greater China means that they're in Taiwan. Okay, I got you. And I wonder what A is, because they're in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Greater China, India, Paraguay, South Korea, United States. a global business

that operation leaders build enterprise resilience let us help transform and reframe the future of your organization that's consulting at that's EY Ernest and Young

I mean it's just fantastic they only have revenue of 40 billion a little small Did you say Ernest and Young? Yeah. Oh, it's Ernst.

It's not Ernst. Eve Irm. That's Ernest. They just, they call it Ernst because they're embarrassed to call him Ernest anymore. He's Mr. Billionaire Big Shot. His real name is Ernest.

And so the sign, they didn't have enough money to put the A in the sign. And so they said, That's Ernst. Okay, it's fine. Ernst and Young. Fine, that's what it is.

But it's really earnest. You didn't know that? My God, you are dumb. All right, you know what I'm saying, Vern. You know what I mean? Ernest and Young. I can't take... That's stupid, you know what I'm saying, Vern.

It's now in my head, thanks to Ernst and Young. I mean, if they'd only had enough money for the A, when they got started. Number 13 is SAS Institute, AT&T, Direc, Direc, Strikeer Corporation It goes on and on these major multinational corporations Those are the world's best

Workplaces for 2021 and for your well-being and gosh darn it That's good to know I mean if you Last year's lists 20 million employees 10,000 companies worldwide

spanning 106 countries To be considered in the Top 25, companies must be identified as outstanding global employers by appearing on at least five best workplaces lists in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, North America, Australia during the previous year. Doesn't say anything about Greater China. And, you know, China, Taiwan. doesn't say anything about that

So Okay I hope you Work for one of these fine companies And And make a good living DHL actually would be a Because you're not moving humans around

You're moving packages You don't have to worry about that I don't have to worry about I do not I would not want to be a Work for the Airlines now in today's world man Because Well you know what working for the airlines now is almost like being a police officer.

So if you've got a little bit of a, you know, that God complex that we've noticed happens to a number of police officers over the years. You can work as a flight attendant now and get away with it. Put that mask back on. Excuse me, sir. Put that mask on. Excuse me. Kid.

Get that mask on. Right. Oh, no, we're not shooting people, but we get to escort them off the plane. And plus, I mean, we got to clean up back here and seat 50B. Looks like somebody who's been shot. I don't know what happened, but we got an empty seat. Is there anybody waiting out in the lobby? Because tell them they can get it on.

We're just going to carry them out. Just wrap them up and carry them out. Don't say anything. Just keep moving. People will say something to you. Just keep moving. Don't look them in the eye. Just carry them off.

the plane. It could happen. And I mean, you're not hearing the gunshot. If you're on the plane, obviously you're going to hear, but you put a silencer on that bad boy. You're not hearing it. Just say, it's just a joke. I know flight and attendants aren't killing people on airlines, okay? But they could be. With AmX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. The next time you think to yourself, why does Jeff and chewing the fat like the great state of Florida?

What, I mean, really, why do you like it, Jeff? Well, first of all, I lived there for many years, and I really do, I really do enjoy Florida. But then I have this story telling me about Kelly Elkins, 49-year-old attorney. arrested, I don't know why they called the police on her, for disorderly conduct charge for, well, she went into a lounge at 2.15 a.m. And the bartender wouldn't serve her, because she was already too drunk, according to the bartender. She got pissed and stripped, took all her clothes off,

and said she wasn't going to leave until she got served. The guy calls the cops on her. The cops says, look, you got to put some clothes on. she puts a sweatshirt on, doesn't zip it up, and says, I'm too tired to put my pants on. And they, you know, it took her to jail. It's a shame. Two days before that,

she was cited for disorderly conduct and arrested because she went to have lunch at a Thai restaurant and drinks. It might be a problem with the drinks. It's part of the lunch. And she didn't have enough money to pay for it. So that seems to be a problem. So she stripped down, completely and they took her to jail.

Again, why do I like Florida? This is why I like Florida. I don't see this in Fort Worth. I guess it happens from time to time. It certainly happens more in Florida. I'll tell you that. More people are walking around but, Nick drunk or high,

and they're angry because they can't get more alcohol or more drugs. That is why I like Florida. Okay. I will say, though, that it does kind of mean that she really wasn't super hot since they did call the cops, you know, because, you know, I'm pretty sure a hot chick going into this lounge at 2.15 a.m. is still getting served.

Right? I looked at the picture of, was there stupid name? again? Kelly, I think. I remember the darn drunks anymore. Yeah, Kelly Elkins. She was 49. And so I was looking at her promo picture for whatever law department she's part of. Not bad. But the arrest photo? Oh, Kelly.

I mean, you stop drinking, baby. okay you had stopped maybe stop eating free Thai food going to restaurants and eating too much and drinking too much but she's you know originally she looked okay you know don't she did she looked fine but you know that she didn't look good that night otherwise the bartender male or female would have said all right here to have a drink oh yeah you can stay till we close

I can't let you drive home no baby I'll make sure you get home okay no you don't need to put any more clothes on you're fine it gets too cold for you in here you can cover up with something but don't worry about it now right I mean so if you're inebriated and you're not really that good looking They're getting the police called on you.

We also found out that beekeepers or beehivists are now turning to anti-theft technology as hive thefts rise. No kidding. Now they show a picture of a beehivist with his, the top, the lid to his, you know, beehive. It's colony. And I don't want to get the terminology right. and it doesn't I'm guessing if I were to go to a hive

and attempt to take it I mean I wouldn't think about just cutting that off and taking that perhaps maybe if they're you know look every year they bring them into California to pollinate some of the almond crops and they move them around

perhaps this big grocery chain that has their soul has their they had their solar panel field with their beehives out there? I don't know. Maybe you pay a guy 15 bucks an hour

to walk around the field every night and, you know, guard the beehives. And, you know, here's a theft deterrent. All right, I'm going to back the truck into the beehive area and steal a colony.

Oh, you know, maybe I'll go the other way. I don't want to take those bees. I mean, that's a little theft deterrent. I'm just saying Maybe you do that And I know that they They had the Well didn't the

Scientists put the little rings Around the murder hornets And they try to Hook up some little neck ring Or something on the murder hornets So they could track them And then they fell off And they couldn't

They tracked them part way But they ended up You know Seeing where they went But the tracker Fell off Maybe you know You chip them

Can chip the bees there's only 40, 50, 60,000 of them. Right? Now, perhaps we work on something that, you know, if you can chip the queen, then everything that touches the bee, you'd be able to track them all with, you know, because of the queen bee chip.

No? Doesn't work that way? Okay. I'm just thinking out loud. Again, I, I'm just trying to help today. That's all I'm in a helping mood. I want to help people survive and be better at stuff.

That's what this show is all about, chewing the fat. So people are better and survive happier and healthier and stronger lives. I don't know what more I could do. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. So speaking to bees, I read the email the other day that I got from Mustang. I don't know what I His is the email is Mustang and then it's Chad

So I may have called him Chad I'm not sure And I want you know However he wants to go by You can go by Because remember I read the email He was angry At me about

Apparently he was angry Because I Used my word Beehivist Okay it's my word I can call people what I want But he did It was angry with me

Because he was a small hobby beekeeper, not a bee hivist. I remember I said, yes, a full size hive would contain $60,000 plus B easily during the summer. I thought you guys were big fact checkers. I now have my doubts.

Well, he just sent a response to me and this is it. Okay, okay. I got it. I got it. Oh, man. Unhappy. Sorry, dude. All right. I know that, you know, you want

proper terminology, but in my world, beehivist is proper terminology, because it's my word for you, be people. And then I find out that fish are talking to each other. Now, I kind of, if you think about it, and I normally don't think about, hey, I wonder if fish are talking to each other, but according to this story, the hums, honks, and boops are fish chatting about sex and food

now what else would fish be talking about? It's nice out today and look at the weather is it icy up top maybe oh is that a hole with some food coming down through a hole in the water maybe I'll chop on it now

when I was looking so then I'm trying to find the audio of the fish talking all right because i want to i want to hear the fish i want to hear the noises they're making because we have we have on this show we have audio from orangutans from we have audio from uh we have audio from uh hippopotamuses right thank you they're all speaking and talking we have audio and now i see that we have audio of a a puffer fish eating. Now this guy, stop for just a second.

I just want to, while you're hearing this, this guy is feeding this puffer fish a carrot. I mean, he's not doing it for the talk, but he's, it's awesome. Now, it's actually the puffer fish's final meal. I mean, he's not in the water. He's on the cutting room floor on table, whatever you want to call it. He's on the cutting board. And the guy has got him puffed up. and feeding him a carrot.

And it's, the fish is, I mean, it's not, if you are, I mean, PETA, I'm sorry that I'm even smiling at this, okay? But it is hilarious. And then, in the end, he tips him over, he depuffs him, and down he goes. But the sounds he makes well, he's eating is like, I think I might be able to live. I think I might be able to survive. I'm out of the water. I'm going to eat.

I'm out of the water. I'm going to live. He's feeding me. I mean, of course, I mean, all of this works with my music. And it's a pufferfish makes it that much better. Okay, so then I get hooked on a video where this guy is going on the Great Barrier Reef and he's talking about Earth Unplugged

And I don't know that I can take much of the video But I love He does actually have Audio Of fish I'm guessing that they're communicating Because that's what fish do And again I'm not sure

Other than sex and food And Hey Where are we swimming to today? I'm not real sure sure what the fish are talking about. But they talk about new recording devices that they have.

He's almost underwater now with a submarine. He might as well just take a sub down there. He's snorkeling around with these audio devices recording the fish. And then he moves on to beating up humans for making too much noise. He's not the boat going over and humans are disrupting

the fish. Yeah, we know. Fishermen have been telling people to be quiet for millions of years. Hey, zip it. I'm fishing. You're disturbing the fish. We know. It doesn't take a scientist to tell us that. Anyway, this is his little... Whenever I tell people that fish have ears, they look at me like I'm mad. That's because you probably are, but go ahead. But not only that, people are surprised by the really unusual sounds that fish can make.

Here we go. Especially on a coral reef. See, it's a produced bit of it. My music's better. Thank you. That's what they care about. When we're listening to a reef, we hear the snapping shrimp crackling away. And then as we add in chirping, perhaps, of some fish that are trying to impress a female on a nesting site.

Oh, yeah. And then we've got the clownfish that are using sounds to communicate within a colony and particularly to warn each other of a predator. These are fish and invertebrates that are making sound for a range of different reasons. They're sometimes trying to find prey and they might be hunting together so they're actually talking to each other while they do this. They might be trying to detect predators. Obviously they want to avoid any predators.

But they're also then using sound to establish a territory to impress each other. So it's a bit like listening to a full orchestra. And it produces this wonderful co-coffern. of biological sounds. I love, all right, that's another. There's a wonderful cacophony of biological sounds. But just know that hums, honks, and boobs are just fish chatting about sex and food.

Oh, yeah. Now again, we know that the hums, honks, and boobs are just the fish chatting. However, some noises and squeaks that fish produce, they produce them by grinding their bones against each other in a mechanism called stridulation. Their word, not mine. Okay, Okay. All right. I'm just saying that they say it in the story. So, I mean, just know that they're grinding their bones against each other.

That doesn't mean we have to have that for stridulation. It's all about the science, baby. The honks. The honks. And the boobs. It's just bones. It's grinding me to get to each other. Causing stradulation.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story. Until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talk to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member.

How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Allison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
