Wild Times: Wildlife Education - Disney Robotic Dolphin, Flamingo Jail Break, Brain Eating Amoeba

Episode Date: October 4, 2020

The bros are back at it again this week for more shenanigans. Join us for this week's adventure! Listen anywhere @ https://thewildtimespodcast.com/info We love you!

And they're like, we're getting close. It's crazy. Looking at it right now. Look at it. It's wild. Like, they're fully swimming in a way that producer will is pulling up a video for those who are watching on YouTube. Look at that. They're swimming like a dolphin.

So wait, really, you can't, yeah, how could you tell the difference? I don't believe that this is an animatromic dog. I can't see. I can't see. That's what I'm saying. Are you kidding me right now? Look at that. Are you kidding me? There's no way.

That. That's what I'm saying, man. Like, it's crazy. Like, you, I would go, by the way, I would pay to swim with that robot. Like, I've never done the pay to swim with an dolphin. I would 100% pay to swim with that robot. Yeah, no, that's, it's craziness. Yeah, I could not believe.

I'm all about it because dolphins are smart creatures. I'm all about them not keeping them in captivity. 100 zillion percent. I mean, it's just one of those trashy, dumbass things that humans do, which is keep them in captivity along with all the fucking other bullshit. they do to them. But there's no way that that's an animatronic dolphin. Dude, it's, it is crazy. And I, like, I love this, by the way. Like, I think Disneyland's great. I love the idea of inspiring magic and whatever their whole, like, spiel is. I think it's super fun.

You know, I love the idea of Disney being like, look, we're investing. I have to imagine this cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, dude. That's got to be like, that's probably a $10 million dollar. Right? It has to be. Although when you look at the skin, dude, it does look kind of fake on the skin a little bit when it comes out of the water. There's one part where it comes out of the water and the water beats are like coming off it like it's a little bit plasticy right there. But dude, but still, I don't know. That's stuck up. It sucks.

But if you didn't know, I'm sorry, I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're a marine biologist. If you watch this without knowing the context of what we just discussed, you would not go. No, no. That's a plastic dolphin. Look at the weird water on its back. You would not. You would not.

It's so good. And I love this. I love the story. I think it's great news. Like, good on you, Disney for, you know, out getting rid of real dolphins and putting in these animatronic ones that, again, must have cost hundreds of millions of dollars and 20 years of R&D. Like, go Disney. Yeah.

It gives. Yeah. I like the jungle ride at Disney with the fake, fakeish-looking giraffes and hippos. Oh, it's super fun. Sort of dancing. No, they don't really dance on that one. But, I mean, just like the old-school. Disney animatronics. And I like didn't even go to Disney as a kid. Like I didn't live anywhere near

there. Like I think I went when I was maybe 15 for a day. But I've been to Disneyland since I've moved to L.A. as an adult. I like the old, it's a small world. It'll love it's a small world. Yeah. They're like, it's a small world after all. It's just like so cheesy. What's your guys thought? Peter, remember? On Disneyland. Remember when we went to Disney? I was just going to say, I mean, I was just going to say, me and you had a great time. Well, I mean, let's be fair. One. we got out of the park and into Adventureland where we could booze at ESPN zone or wherever the fuck we were, we had a good time. Dude.

If you, Forrest, if you put a gun to my head and said, like, what's the happiest I've ever been in a single instant? I would point to a time where Retepe and I went with two women who are no longer in our lives. Correct. And we went to Disneyland and we started by going to California Adventure. Where you can drink. Yep. So we would do a ride. We'd have a glass of wine.

We'd do a couple more rides. We'd fucking get a beer, whatever. We're having an actual usual day. That closes early. Then we get into Disneyland. And they turn into fun of the lunatics, where they're like, they have like an itinerary ready three hours left. They're like, Pirates of the Caribbean, Small World.

We're like, God. And then we realize there's no booze in Disneyland power. Yeah, that's a real letdown. It was terrible. So now we wait while sobering up for 50 minutes to do Pirates of the Caribbean. Great ride. Awesome. Then they want to do it.

It's a small world. I love that you remember the ride. A lot of back for your ride. I don't even remember the ride. We get out. And as we're leaving, I just, because they had six more rides we were going to do, more hours. And I just look at Peter, I go, do you want to just say we're not going and just refuse to go

and go to the SPN zone and drink? Because we had hotel rooms. He's like, yeah. Yep. And we just told them they didn't even care. Right. We get to ESPN zone. We each order a beer and a shot.

We're like the only ones in there. Great. Bartender's like, yeah, we're open to one. And I just looked at Peter and it was just, he was like welling up with joy. No, dude, it was hours and hours of not drinking. And you keep in mind, I didn't know that you couldn't drink at Disneyland. This was, this was news to me when I got there. So you had a picture like just a guy.

who's in his prime drinking years with, you know, and I'm just like, oh, great. And also I hate Disneyland. Don't get me wrong. Like, but I fucking hate it. I'm sorry. I apologize if anybody's like this. But I think it's ridiculous when people are like adults are obsessed with it. And I'm just like, well, whatever.

It's their thing. It's fine. But I can't get into. There are adults obsessed with it. No, I don't get it. I mean, you know, I don't get it either. Like, get a life. But there are legit adults obsessed.

And get booze in your theme park. Thank you. Yeah, get some fucking booze, Disney. Maybe your stock would be performing better. They're laying off. They just announced they're laying off an additional 25 to 40,000. Crazy. Yeah, well, they spent $250 million on robot Dolphin.

Of course they kind of make people's salary. Yeah. So Forrest, I saw producer Will's show doc. And right away, I was like, I can't wait to hear what you have to say about this as a herpetology enthusiast slash expert. So this is about apparently a rare snake that's found in Thailand called the Asian kukri.

Cukre. I want to have you tell it because you understand snakes more than I do. I find them to be scary and I climb trees to avoid them. I've seen you do it. Yes. Yeah, I know the headline. It's interesting. And there's a, there's a,

There's actually a fun pun, if you will, to this story. So the Asian kukri snake got observed doing a behavior that's never before been seen, which is incredible. So they have these amazing, like knife-like teeth, right, in their upper jaws. And one was observed slashing into its prey, which is a large toad, and disemboweling it, plunging its head into the abdominal cavity of this toad, and then feasting on these organs like one at a time while the toad was still alive and bleeding out. Yeah. So totally gnarly, which is, you know, personally, I think it's absolutely fascinating that a snake could do this.

And a couple things here, and I'll tell you what the fun kind of pun is in a minute. But a couple things that I think are awesome and worth, worth acknowledging. I think herpetologists in particular, like knowing every field of biology, herpetologists in particular think they have it all figured out, right? Like they think, oh, yes, we know everything about snakes. Like, it's a snake. I've had it in my fish tank, you know, I know what it does. Yeah, look at it. That's what its head inside of the toad. Dude, that's nuts.

Yeah, Will just brought up a picture of this actually happening. The toad is intact, essentially. And the snake is just inside. Right, the snake's head is inside of it. Right. Munching it. Oh, my God. But anyway, I think, you know, the fact that herpetologists generally feel like,

and again, this is a generalization, but I think a lot of them feel like they understand all behavior. aspects of snakes and what they do and how they do it and oh it's this one's a constrictor and this one's venomous and you know we understand these broad generalizations and then to have something like this where you're like oh this is not just a constrictor that eats toads the same way every other snake does it actually disembowls them with its crazy weird fang structure and goes in and eats their organs and then leaves them there like that's incredible and nobody's observed this before now as far as i know the other part of the story that I think is really fun

or part of the news. So it's called a kukri snake because of its knife-like teeth. A kukri is a type of knife. It's a type of machete. It's that curved machete if you've ever seen it. Oh, yeah. Might have been the kind Indiana.

Like, Atlanta. But you know, those like curved machetes. Yeah, like Aladdin. Exactly, exactly. That's what a kukri is. So the name kukri snake comes from its knife-like teeth. But what I think is more fun about this

is the fact that this kukri snake, this knife snake uses its knife-like teeth as a knife to slash its prey as if it were in battle. So there's like this kind of like fun thing or this thing was already named after like this, this weapon and this action. And it actually uses it. I don't know. I think it's super cool. And as a herpetologist, like seeing this, I would love to have a cougarie snake as a pet now.

I would be feeding it toads left and right and watching it. Oh, God, you sick pig. You would. Not my cup of tea. I am. Just like Disney. Dude, I was on a shoot once and had some time. We were shooting a little bit later in the day, right?

So in production, typically, we do about a 12-hour day. So we need to shoot it. We do a 12-hour day? I don't think we've ever done under a 17-hour day. Right. Well, you know, this was a different kind of deal. A bunch of union guys, crumbling. But so we were filming, and we were starting later in the day

because we needed to film a night. So I had time in the morning. I'm not a morning person, but we weren't starting until like 2 p.m. So I decided to go for a run. We were on the coast of this island off of Indonesia called Flores Island. And I decided to go for a chill little run on the beach, watching some waves. There's fucking nobody there. It's great. So I go for this run, and I'm coming back towards where we're staying, and I see this fucking huge sea turtle. and it's like kind of like maybe 10 feet off where the waves are breaking. And I'm looking at it and it's moving weird, right? Like it's kind of like herkin jerking around.

It almost looks like a little like marionette of this giant sea turtle. Okay. What the fuck is that thing doing? And it's weird. Like when you're, you know, we talk about like matrixing when you expect to see something. But it was moving so strange. I was just like I thought maybe it had broken its legs. So I kind of run up to it.

I get within about eight feet. of it and all of a sudden this fucking lizard that is called a Komoto dragon just goes pulls its head out of the abdomen

with no way coming out of its mouth and just looks up at me you know they got big fucking scary teeth completely covered in blood the entire head with just stringy

bits like they've been tearing into like poor quality steak and just looks at me And I was just like, ohly, and just took off and just sprinted away as fast as I could. With no knowledge of how fast this thing could run and whether it could catch me or would try to,

it was bananas, but it had its head all the way up inside this fucking sea turtle. And I couldn't see it. Using that turtle like a sock puppet. Yeah. It got you. That's funny, man. I didn't know that story.

That's crazy. Yeah, it was a while ago. It was pretty bunkers. This is why I don't. Yeah. This is why I stay inside. for most of the days. Here's mates.

Yeah. No, Comodo dragons, probably, I'm not a favorite animal guy because I'm an adult, you know, and once you reach about 12,

you stop saying my favorite animal. But aside from, like, crocodiles, I, you know, as a general animal, I would say my other animal. No,

shut up, Peter. My favorite animal, singular, not group of animals, is probably the Komoto dragon. It was a huge lifelong bucket list for me to go and see them. And I mean, I did it in 2011, unbelievable creatures. I love those things. I think they're amazing. Well, I was just going to say, so like obviously the Komodo dragon, okay, I've wondered,

you went to see them like, do you have to be behind like a fence or something? Will they attack and kill you? They're like, Tane? They're not neither. So Komoto Dragon, they are predators, right? They actually, there's kind of an interesting story. We used to think that they had venom. Then we learned that there was just bacteria in their mouths that was so nasty that when they bit something, it would cause gangrene and infection and die. Then we learned that they have that and a little bit of them.

So our understanding has actually evolved of these creatures. But they're these huge monitor lizards. They live on a handful of islands in Indonesia. And they are predatory, right? They bite water buffalo and things like that. And then they follow them around to wait for them to die. but they're very slow moving and they kind of just sit there and they're lethargic. Now that being said, there are a couple interesting things.

When I went there, there was no kind. I mean, I went as a biologist. So I went there. I checked in at the Ranger Station and the guy, not joking, handed me a broom pole. And he was like, you know, this is for you. And the idea is if they get close, you whack them with the broom pole. Yeah. Swear to God.

And I was like, cool, this is fine by me. And they couldn't have cared less about my presence. but there were a couple things. So first of all, I remember when I went, you weren't supposed to wear red, and I showed up in a red t-shirt, and then I had to go shirts optional all day because I didn't know you weren't supposed to wear red. And then women on their periods are not supposed to be there because they can, you know, and that's how they, once they bite something, they smell for blood and they smell for, you know,

any kind of, any kind of body fluid. So women on their periods are not supposed to go to the island during that time. So I found that really interesting. And then there is a really cool story. Patrick and I once wrote a show around it that didn't go forward of these divers that washed up. They were out because there's a lot of diving in the area. It's one of the best diving areas in Indonesia. And there were some divers lost at sea. And they were like, oh, there's an island in the distance, right? And they're like, we'll swim over there and the boat will come get us in the morning. And they swam over to Komodo Island, Komoto proper, like the main island where all the dragons are, had no idea it was Komodo, like shacked up on the beach.

And sure enough, I think, I don't remember exactly. maybe you do pat here was one of them or both of them but they definitely somebody got eaten by a commot oh wow wait so they will they'll they'll eat you like if essentially you're not a threat like if you were just sleeping they come across you they're hungry it'll it'll fuck you up and eat you that's crazy yeah no exactly and i mean ultimately if they wanted to as a human broomstick or not there's nothing you could do to stop them i mean there really isn't they're slow you know you could maybe outrun them but they're just they're huge power powerful veranids.

They're not. They have teeth. Like, I mean, they obviously must have teeth. They have big ass fucking mouths with sharp teeth. Big, big nasty recurved interlocked ski. So they just go in, boom, and then release. Oh, shit.

Look at that thing, man. I mean, this is prehistoric animal right here. Exactly right. No, I think there's such. They really are. Do you guys remember this was a, from, this is going back to 2001, but I remember this story.

the actress Sharon Stone from a casino and basic instinct. In 2001, she was getting like a private tour at the LA Zoo with her and either husband or boyfriend, whatever. And they went into a Komodo Dragon enclosure and he got fucking bid on his foot. No. The provision of the people at the zoo on a Komoto Dragon and had to be rushed for emergency surgery and almost lost the foot but didn't. But it was, you know, they bit his foot. They were like, oh, fuck, yeah, yeah. They're going to lose that foot or leg.

Because that's what it does. Immediately. Its whole fucking thing is. Yeah. Like the bacteria just fucks. That's crazy, dude. Just crazy. I think I might have gone on a, gone on an online app date with someone who had the similar bacteria.

What? Dude, it's still on a left field. Her breath was gross. What a call. So wait, how old did you continue making out with her, even though it was gross? Dude, it wasn't even a possible situation. Listen, yeah. It was, it was so.

How old were you? How old were? Gnarly. This is the most recent. Yeah, yeah. And it was bad. It was really bad. And so I was like, fuck.

Otherwise, physically. Yeah. Fantastic. And I'm not. Right, right. So, but I was small, and then I started doing experiments where I was like, is it something she ate? So then I was like trying to like, and what I was able to deduce was that it was actually coming also out of the nose. Dude.

Oh, wow. So I was like this is like real bad, like halitosis. So I actually remember this because I remember you'd been on that date and then I talked to you the next day or two days later and you were like, because I remember you were kind of excited to meet her because she was really hot. And then I was like how to go and you're like, dude, I got to tell you about this thing that happened. And I was like, what? You told me this story. Well, yeah. There's obviously a catch 22 way out of your league.

Let me ask you a question. Right. Couldn't have been nicer or could have been sweeter. And I thought about, and I really thought about this delivering an anonymous piece of mail because I was like, she's gone over the years and no. Yeah, that's what a psychopath. to do. First of all, why would you have her address? But you went back to her house? So you guys just, you guys fucked and no, no, kissing at all? Uh, no, no, of course. Of course not. Of course not. What were you going to ask?

I was going to say, so let's say you came across this problem and you actually, like, cared about the person. And it was like somebody you were dating. And all of a sudden, they just had terrible breath. How would you, how would you handle it? Would you just write an anonymous letter from such for a mouse I would tell them to go get some mouthwash. You would. Morris has no amygicry.

No. No. Fear would not. I would submit a journal entry to the New England Journal of Medicine for a new disease called instant onset halitosis.

I'd be like, how does it happen? All of a sudden you'd tell? I dated. I went on a date with a girl, and this is the difference between being an adult and being like a young kid. She had a whole

And which are you currently? Well, you'll know after I tell the story. She had terrible halitosis, which by the way, I think is a fake thing. Is halitosis bad breath? I didn't know this. It's a term, but I think it's kind of one of those things that's not actually a scientific, real thing. It was just people who have bad breath consistently. Anyways, I went on a date with this girl.

Terrible breath. And I still made out with her. and it's like now I wouldn't even I wouldn't it wouldn't I couldn't I couldn't my body as at this age I physically wouldn't be able to do it my dick would be up in my stomach coming out of my own ass so forest I got uh actually a one of our brosters flash the wild bunch sent me a message on instagram yeah because he lives in this place It's called Lake Jackson, Texas. Okay. And I see that producer Will has also put this on the show doc.

I couldn't fucking believe this. So have you guys heard previous stories about a brain-eating amoeba being in fresh water? Yeah. Yep. It shoots up their nose when they jump off. I know a person who refuses to go into lakes because of that fear, of that thing. It's, it's, uh, I, uh, they have it in the Blackwater Canyon, which is where On the lower, below Vegas, below the Hoover Dam, there's like a bunch of hot springs on the Colorado River.

Isn't it, it's Nglaria Fowler Eye or something like that is the name of the, yeah. So yeah, I remember these first hearing about these stories when I was in high school or college. And it definitely changed the way I think about like jumping off up, you know, people like, oh, let's jump off the rock. It's 15 feet high because that's oftentimes how you get it is when you do like a cliff jump or whatever. It's how he shoots up your nose. only into freshwater and the water shoots up your nose. That's often how the amoeba gets close enough to your brain. It goes up, eat your fucking brain.

Nightmare, yep. Basically something out of the dominole. Yep. So, by the way, this hasn't made any fucking national news at all because we've got the election, we've got COVID, we've got all the shit going. I don't even know what you're talking about. So the governor of Texas has issued a disaster declaration in Brazoria County. because in this place called Lake Jackson, Texas,

this Noglaria Fowleri amoeba has infested the water. Dude, what? Oh, geez. So people are drinking it and a six-year-old die. Oh, my God. And so now everyone has to boil everything or obviously drink bottled water that came in from out of town, whatever. No showering. Oh, whatever.

Like, wear a nose plug in the shower. Dude, Jesus. It's pretty crazy. Aren't the water? Is it not treat America? Not that I think you know the answer to this off the top of your head, but is it not treatable with like chlorine or something like that? I mean, I don't, you know, I would think if it's in the tap water, wouldn't chlorine kill it,

I don't know. Isn't this water going through a fucking treatment facility? I'm scared. Like, if I was a terrorist, this is what I would do. It wouldn't still fear amongst everybody. So typically what you, what they do is, uh, The water that we drink that comes out of our tap is runs through a filtration system using a chemical called chloramine, which is obviously like a less harmful to your body version of chlorine.

Okay. And so now what they're doing is they're running all the water through actual free chlorine, which is a practice called chlorine burn. Okay. But then you can't drink it. You can't drink the water. Oh, at least you could shower. Wait. Oh, I see.

Fucking gross. It's horrific. It is disgusting. It's a good plot of a movie. And it's terrifying. Yeah, I, one of the things, you know, practicing permanent survival, one of the things that I learned long time ago, and I think most people don't realize is if you're stuck with bad water, right? Obviously, bad water is terror. Like, you're better off to not drink water than bad water.

Like, bad water can kill you. Stagnant water will, it will kill you if it's infected with stuff. Right? It's terrible. And especially in a survival situation. But one of the things that I learned a long time ago, if I were to ever come across this, is you can actually put a little bit of bleach in your water. and it will sterilize that water. It doesn't matter how poopy brown color it is or what it is,

but if you put a little tot of bleach, I think it's one to 100 or 1,000 parts per million. I don't know. You just put a little shot of bleach in, and you can actually drink it at that point. I'm sure if you drink it in large quantities, it's going to do a lot of damage. But I know that you can treat water

by literally just adding bleach or, I guess, chlorine, but I'm sure that's, you know, that's equally unhealthy for you. Well, yeah, you don't want to do it long term. It just doesn't give you an emergency situation. Yeah. I mean, it's better than potentially fucking getting something that's going to make you violently ill and actually puke out your stomach. Also, you're talking about an amoeba, right? So this is a simple celled organism that has the ability to reproduce at incredible rates in the right environment.

Like, if it's in a water supply that goes into the sewer or the city water, like, first of all, how did it get there? I mean, I'm sure it could come from anywhere. But secondly, what is stopping this from spreading across the entire, like all water sources are basically connected. You know what I mean? I mean, they're not. But through the water cycle, through the rain cycle, et cetera, they're all connected. It's got to be. Like, what is stopping this amoeba from spreading?

As a layman, it's got to be the fact that it's, it doesn't just, there has to be some kind of reason why it's not just procreating with a limitless possibility. Maybe it's like the environment or the food or something. It's probably the conditions. It's probably the conditions, right, in which the amoeba is required to replicate, which I don't know what they are, but it's disgusting and it's terrifying. It's crazy. It's worse than Disneyland. Like, every, everywhere I go in North America, I drink the tap water, right? I never think twice about it.

I'm like, yeah, I'm in North America, right? I finally drink tap water everywhere. Everywhere. Like, you know, I don't know that this will necessarily change that behavior, but if I'm in whatever that county in Texas is, it sure will. But it's like, that's crazy to think that that can just happen. Oh, yeah. Also, by the way, if I was like really sick and they were like, oof, like your brain is like packed full of amoebas, it's just so gross. Like it's such insults and you saw that.

Yeah. Like I would just be like, just blow my buck and brains out, man. Yeah, it's pretty bad. There's no cure for this once you get it. You saw that. No, yeah, that's it. No, yeah, that's it. You saw that video that Boris sent us where he, you don't know what's really going on.

And then he's like over a sink. And he just kind of like goes. like this on his head and a bunch of fucking bugs start falling out of his ear. And I was just like, are you getting me? Forrest, what I'm saying is you should have killed yourself. Yeah, many times over. Thank you. All right. So in some lighter news, I had something fun come across me. Yeah, I thought this was a real cute story. In 2005, an Africa and Flamingo broke out of his enclosure from a zoo in Kansas. Okay, this happens. Like, in fact, we've probably all been to a zoo and seen how there's like a one foot guardrail for the flamingos.

And you're like, why are they standing there like this? Like what is stopping them from just using their awkwardly long legs and just gently stepping over the guardrail and walking off? But yeah, so in 2005, this African flamingo broke out of its enclosure in a zoo in Kansas. Like I said, I know that happens all the time. It happens here in Santa Barbara all the time. However, when they went searching for it, nobody found it at all. And they're like, okay, that's weird.

Like, I guess the flamingo got eaten by a coyote or something. Well, fast forward eight years. And a birdwatcher by the name of Neil Hayward spots the flamingo in the Texas Gulf Coast. And guess what? The flamingo has found himself a partner, another flamingo, who's escaped from a Mexican nature reserve five years earlier. And these two have somehow found themselves on the Gulf Coast together. And both zoos, this is the best part.

of the story. Both zoos were notified of their escaped animals like five and eight years later and they were like, yeah, all good, let them live their days out. And they just like hung out. By the way, if that story ended with the zoos that separated them, I was never going to do another podcast.

Dude, let me protest outside those zoos. Dude, that's amazing. I mean, that's the type of that's a Disney movie. It is. It's a movie. It's a movie. Totally a Disney movie. Pomingo and Pingo. God. Those flamingos, both escaped. They were looking up at the same stars.

They found their way to each other. And then I don't know how Flamingos have sex, because it's got to be weird since they both only stand on one life. Well, can you bring up Flamingos mating, please? No, just kidding. But you guys, here's a fun fact, if we're talking about birds fucking. Did you

got, have you guys, I, one time I was driving down the road in my hometown, and there's a pond there, and I saw a duck being violently gang raped by two male duds. And I was like, this is, I was like, I feel like I need to pull over and like do something. I feel like this is.

Why are you? I listen. I didn't get involved, but I was very like, I was fucked up. I was like, this is horrible. What the hell is going on? The world is going shit. And, but anyways, so obviously, there wasn't Google back at this time. But I went to the library and I found out that ducks, they will have a, have a threesome or a gang bang.

And not only that, but they will stay. It's like a monogamous relationship between three different ducks. And that, my friend, is why they are better than us. The duck is also known for the anatomy. Really? It's an extremely, extremely long. Oh, God. Yeah, they've got some wacky genitals.

You are right. It's one of the reasons, it's one of the reasons like I can't get behind duck hunting. And I have no problem with hunting as a conservation tool. And it's not because ducks are into gangbanger. Oh, yeah, yeah. You chuckled. I was wondering where you're. It's because they are monogamous like that, right?

And they do mate for life until, you know, until something happens and find a new mate, whatever. But the idea of like sitting in a blind and overfly these ducks and like you whack, you whack one of the two and then the other one flies off. And it's like that thing had made it for life with this other animal. Like I don't know if love exists in the animal kingdom. I believe it does. But, like, they were together for life, and you just removed that from the equator. You know what I mean? I got viscerally felt that in the pit of my stomach when you said it.

I was like, that is fucking awful, dude. Anti-broner material. Don't duck hunt. Yeah, no, that's a real letdown in the Broner department. It's also like. A real soft drooper. I was going through a phase where I was watching a lot of top chef. This is like circa like 2009.

And duck was like. Boy, gras. Oh, good, dude. That's the problem. It's so good. Now, foie gras is goose, but fatty goose liver. But yeah, duck, you know, high-end restaurants, you get the duck. I got to say, though, even at a really high-end restaurant, it's awfully chewy.

Like, just give me, I'll take the steak. Oh, I love duck. They're not monogamous. Do you really? They're not. I think duck is so good. That's one of the problems. That's why I wish I could get into duck hunting and didn't care because it's so tasty.

I think it's such delicious meat. Dude, don't you remember the street duck in Vietnam? We were there, and Johnny and Mitch went like 11 different times and kept bringing back platter after platter of street duck. It was right next to our hotel. It was beautiful, beautiful platter of food that they were getting for $10. Yeah. I had one bite.

Wait, wait, so you weren't into it. It didn't do it for you? Oh, man. I thought it was so good. Just don't love duck. I'm actually with a ad on this one. And you're right. Cows are not monogamous.

You know, leave those ducks in the sky, eat a burger. That's the message here. people. I'm with Pat on this one. I don't like duck either. I find it pretty chewy and terrible. So I live in West Hollywood. We know. Peter is currently in an alley.

So we both have this problem for us. Not as much up in the mountains where you live. But walk outside. No thanks. The sidewalk, you got a problem already. If you're on the sidewalk in L.A. Because there's fucking shit all over it, right?

There's dog shit. It's terrible. It's not human shit. Probably quite a bit of garbage. Garbage. A lot of garbage and dog shit. People are letting their fucking dog shit on the sidewalk. I think it's gotten worse.

It's fucking terrible. I don't know what the fuck is going on. But the city of Naples, Italy has a similar thing going on. There's dog shit. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing, man? Like, we got to be, we got to be. This is our fucking neighborhood. These are our neighborhoods.

Let's fucking have some respect, man. So starting January, 2021, right? Everybody who gets a new dog has to get the dog. It's a, uh, you, you have to get the dog's DNA put into a database. I love this. I love it already. If they find, they're going to basically have a new parking task force, right? Parking people drive around.

They give you tickets. You're in the fucking database. They know who you are. They make you pay it. If not, it goes to collections. they're going to do the same thing with dog shit. So if they find a pile of shit on the sidewalk, I love this.

Somewhere it shouldn't be in someone's yard, they're going to DNA test it, and you're going to pay a hefty fine because it's not cheap. $600. No way. If you let your dog shit go on. It's way worse than a fucking violation. It's disgusting.

It's one of the most infuriating fucking things. I have a dog. My dog will take the tiniest fucking shit, and I use a whole fucking normal back. to pick it up, dude. I don't know what people are thinking when they leave dog shit around their own goddamn neighborhood, dude. It's insane.

Do you shit where you sleep? No, do you shit where you eat? What are you doing? God, it pisses me off to know, and I love this. I completely agree with you guys,

but the fact that they're using DNA sequencing in a database, I mean, one, it's kind of big brotherish, but two, I love it. I love it. I'm so okay with it. Yeah, I love it. I think it's fantastic. What a great use of that technology, by the way. Let me roll this out.

Here's why you don't want me to be the mayor of L.A. Because what I would do is this, I would say, yeah, we're going to do the Naples, Italy thing. But you're not going to do is pay a fine, right? I'm going to get a whole group of basically guys that look like Secret Service. They're going to look like the men in black, Will Smith. Black suits, sunglasses. is they're going to have super soakers. It's going to kill two birds with one stone.

With bleach. Because oftentimes the many, many homeless people around here, oftentimes their stool is very soft. How do you know this? Oh, okay. Because it's all over the sidewalk. So what we're going to do is we're going to collect. You and the men are black.

And they're going to have super sokers full of diarrhea. And if you caught, letting your dog shit on the sidewalk, you're going to get a knock on the door. You think it's an Amazon package? No. Super soaker full of diarrhea. Dude, my dog took a fucking diarrhea in the bathroom the other day.

And it was, it makes me never want to have kids, first of all. It was the most foul thing I've ever fucking seen in my life. But here's a controversial question that I'd. Why we have no female. Nah, they love this shit. Every time you ever say that, I get messages and comments on the post on Instagram that's like, fuck that. We're bros too.

But, all right. So controversial question for you two to weigh in quickly on. You're walking your dog. Your dog takes a shit. You pick it up. You're carrying it around. There's a garbage bin in the street. The garbage has already been collected, but the garbage can's still out there.

You throw the fucking bag of shit in that garbage can. Thoughts? I mean, a lot of people fucking get up in arms about this. I do it every time. For sure. Yeah. Is it the right thing to do? No.

Am I walking around for 30 more minutes with a bag of poop in my head? And I'm not fucking leaving it on the ground. And I'm picking it up. No. Exactly right. No, look, it's a gray area for sure.

Am I putting it in the dumpster? 100% of the time. I will not walk around with a bag of poop in my head. Watch out Recita California. I agree with you guys. Like, I would just put it in the empty thing. But if someone who,

lives in my, there's 12 townhouses here, if someone puts a box in the recycling that's not broken down, I'm now taking them out and leaving the boxes outside of their god. Because I'm just saying I've had it. I've fucking had it. I've been breaking down boxes. It's all doing. My hands, my

forearms are covered in paper cuts because I never even bring a knife down so I'm punching through the tape. I'm bleeding for you so that you can get your shit in it. You're throwing Amazon boxes? Full Amazon boxes. By the way, one Amazon box

can take up like an eighth of the entire fucking dumpster. Whereas broken down, it takes up like one, 300. It's fucking bananas. Yeah. I'm going to get a quick cocktail, so I'm going to take 30 seconds.

There you go. But people want to go. Forest. Oh, don't be such a baby. You know what it's a good time for? You know what it's a good time for? A little bizarre animal a week. I love that your...

Dazzar Animal the Week. Pound on the desk. Is the intro to everything? Yes. Didn't we have a better intro? I mean, you're going to start scatting again, Peter? Because that was... Bada Bada. Bada. All right, go ahead.

Bizarre animal of the week. Bizarre animal of the week. Okay. So, Peter, well, we've lost Mr. DeLucah. Many years ago. Imagine, okay, 65 million years ago. dinosaurs roam the air and crocodiles the comet comes

a comet comes wipes out everything but one lineage of flying creatures okay staying with me now no other close living relatives on earth

exist of this creature they're young now keep in mind I said flying and they're still around today right they're still around today they're young don't learn to fly up until they're two months old.

So you've got a flying creature that spends the first two months of its life completely enabled flying. To get away from predators, instead of flying, they cannonball into the water and swim for cover until the threat is gone. These animals have dinosauric like claws on the ends of their wings that they use to climb tree trunks back into their nests. Yeah, I mean, I'm picturing this thing and I'm terrified that these still exist. right. Isn't this crazy?

This is the only living ancestor of an animal that existed 65 million years ago. And like I said, they are flying creatures and they can fly, but they do it so little that they often live their entire lives within a hundred feet of where they were born, similar to

like a sloth. They just, they're born in one area. They climb up these trees with their like grappling hook wings. They dive bomb into the water and they never leave an area that is like a hundred feet diameter of where they're This is wild. Like, I can't imagine an animal that can fly that never leaves, you know, a 100-foot radial area.

Are you, okay, you're starting to picture this. Now, let me make it weirder for you. Now, you're thinking this animal that I've just described, this is clearly, it's like it's eating meat or fish, right? I mean, it's got these weird claws. It's been around since the dinosaurs. It's a folivore, which Peter means it only eats leaves. It eats nothing but leaves.

Oh, man, this is, this is a fucked up animal. I actually do have an idea of what I'm picturing. And I don't know if I'll be ready. Go on. Okay. I got something in my head here. Well, let me ask you this.

Do you have one at your compound for us? I wish. I wish I had several. Because I was picturing one of your birds. Yeah. I wish. And Will's going to pull one up because I know. Can I take a question of more info?

And, yeah, oh yeah, we're not there yet. We still got a couple more. There's still more clues. And then I want to hear what you guys, Patrick's coming in late to the game, but I want to hear what you are visualizing. And then I'm going to tell you what it is. We're going to look at it. So this animal, just to get Patrick up to speed, last living ancestor of a line of flying creatures that dates back 65 million years, has no other living relatives on Earth. Their babies don't learn to fly for up to two months.

Even when they do learn to fly, they do it so little that typically they never leave an area less than 100 feet of where they're born. They have grappling hooks on the ends of their wings that they use to hook and climb up trees. I mean, this is a bizarre creature. It's a folivore, which means it eats leaves. It's also a ruminator. So it digest its food in a specialized stomach like a sheep or a cow. And it has a thousand species of bacteria in its gut. Okay.

Super weird creature. And because it is a folivore, it eats leaves. And because it ruminates, it digest in this worm. weird stomach and has a thousand species of bacteria. It's constantly burping and farting fermented foliage gas to release this odor to get it out. And it has the nickname because of this, the flying cow. What do you think this animal is easy? This is my ex-wife.

And I'll tell you why. Just kidding. Let me take my guess quick because what I'm actually envisioning is something we've talked about on the podcast before. Okay. What was the giant bat that we saw that that was on the, that's what the flying fox? Is that what that is? Is that what it is?

Flying fox, yeah. I think so. I think that's what we, oh, is that what it is? No, good guess, though. I like where your head's out with that. Good guess. No, it's not a flying thing. I don't know.

It's not, I don't, I don't think I know what the name of the animal is. So I'm just going to not even try and make it an animal that I know. But I'm picturing. is a, I'm essentially picturing, what are your Dr. Seuss birds that you have? Guinea foul? Yeah, I'm picturing a guinea fow. Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry, you're thinking of the silky chickens. Yeah, the silky chickens.

Yeah, Will, can you pull up a quick picture of silky chickens so that people can we write a song about the silky chickens too or a poem? Silky chickens, I love it. For sure. Well, I mean, they're hilarious. They are. How many of those, how many of silky chickens do you have? Oh, you actually... Seven or eight right now.

Oh, yeah. We've seen them. No, this is not what the animal is. This is not a silky chicken. I have silky chicken. The animal I've described is not... And that's what you thought that he was talking about, Pat? Silky chickens.

That's the best I can do. That's what I'm picturing, because they seem pretty useless with flying. So for those of you who want to see some of these images, obviously, go over to the old YouTube. Will just pulled up a picture. Forest has, like, six of these. And not only that, will do me a favor, type in naked neck silky chicken. This is what we just got literally three days ago. This silky chicken looks like it has hemmed pants on its legs.

Just wait. It gets better. You should see the chickens we just got. And then I'm going to explain what our bizarre animal of the week is. I'm digressing, but I want you guys to see what a naked neck silky chicken looks like. Wait for it. It's coming. The silky chicken looks like it's wearing the same pants that I wore to the eighth-grade dance. Oh, God. Oh, my goodness. It's a very ostrichy look.

I just got two of those. Yeah, two naked neck silky chickens. But these are very good guesses from both of you guys. I think the Flying Fox is pretty close. I really do. I think a silky chicken is a good comical, close creature to what I described. but the animal that I am talking about, our bizarre animal of the week is a bird from South America for Peru known as the Hotson. Can you pull a picture up of it, Will, so that everybody can see what this incredible creature looks like.

It's also known, I didn't want to give away that it was a bird, it's also known as the stink bird because of the amount of farting and burping that it does. This bird. So the locals in Peru just are like, dude, that bird flies over you. It's just fart cloud. It just stink. It's disgusting. The bird never leaves its 100 foot radius area. The bird looks like a king with a, like a robe on is what it looks like.

It looks very regal, kingly. Yeah, they're super bizarre. And so the Hotson, that is our bizarre animal of the week. Well, also, by the way, that's unquestionably a dinosaur. That's a fucking... You can do it, like, in the face, you look at the face of that, and that looks prehistoric in that fucking. face. What is that beak is made out of like petrified wood?

It's, it's super bizarre. So yeah. That's our, that's our bizarre animal of the week. Dude, I really, that's a good looking fucking animal. I thought it was going to be much, much uglier. Honestly, I was picturing something that was like bad looking and that is like a beautiful fucking animal. Nice. Peter, why don't we get you a couple of hotson? Nah, I can't take care of animals. Let's get you a couple hotson. By the way, best joke of the night is definitely when you said that I was describing your ex-wife. Did I say that?

Choke of the night. Yeah, you did. Yeah, good for you. Hey, do you guys want to get into everybody's favorite time? Yes. Always. Yeah. What's that time called?

Patrick, you disappeared, but Peter called me out for always drum rolling on my desk to intro us. Can you intro us, please, Peter? I'm not sure. Is it fact or fiction or is it Battle Royale? No, this is Battle Royale, man. Obviously, Battle Royale, you do. That's everyone's feelings. I don't know, man.

I've gotten a lot of fanfare about factor fiction. It's, uh... For the battle... Oh, yeah, three way. How do you have four? Only one word to say. Good. Good. I talk to much. I got one. I got one tonight.

It's coming straight from producer Will. I think it's going to be fun. You are going to become a super, Patrick, think back to Lionman, right? Remember that? Yeah. You're going to become a superhero. But in this version of the Battle Royale, you have to pick three animals that you would let bite or sting you in order to get their superhuman senses.

So you have to think about what that means getting that, you know, we're talking Spider-Man, right? He gets the bad spider bite. He's up all night pukin. The next day he's got dope-ass web shooting powers, right? In this Battle Royale, you know, you're-to-take is a spider bite. So that's important. Exactly. Exactly. So you're not going to be elephant man, right? Because if you're getting trampled by an elephant, you're probably not waking up the next day. So you got to take this into consideration here for what superpowers you're going to acquire to become the next pretty sweet. It's not just a bite. It's like you're getting, you're getting an attack from whatever it is, right? Yeah. Yeah. You got to wear one in order to in order to. So you have to be able to survive this too, kind of. I mean, or you'd be done. Yeah, I think that's a factor. I think that's a factor. This is. rough. Okay. I'm definitely not going first. Somebody. I'll, I'll,

I'll help them first. Let's do it. Because there's an obvious choice and I'm going to win. I'm going to place a, just a plain old fucking black ant. Not a red ant, not a stinging ant. Just a black ant. You know, just a common household ant, right? I'm going to set it on me, I'm going to let it bite me. Okay. I will wake up in the morning and like the aunt that bit me, I will be able to lift and carry 5,000 times my body.

True. That's smart. So I will literally be able to just, you know, I'm in traffic. I get stuck. I will be able to pick up my car over my head and walk out of traffic with my car. This is true. All right. I will make billions of dollars because I'm the strongest man in the world.

I can lift houses. Yep. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. And to be clear, this is my battle royale. I'm making up the rules. Super strength is now off the table. That's it. A hundred percent. Right. Super strength is gone. So that's it. Peter, you want to go next? You want me to dig in while I

Thanks some more. Sure. Okay. I can look a million pounds, FY. A million pounds. Did you just do the math? That's pathetic that I had to type it in the calculator, but I'm on my second track. That's pretty good. I mean, you are, you are undeniably the strongest creature that's ever lived of your size now. Thank you. Yeah. Congrats. What do you go? Okay. Yeah. All right.

Let's see. Where do I go first? Where do I go first? Insects are a good way to go with this for sure. Yeah. Some cool powers. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I'm thinking that my very first move is to, man. Yeah, I'm going to go this way. I'm out in the ocean. I'm swimming around. and I take a bite from a Wahoo, right? A Wahoo being the fastest fish in the ocean. Now, they do have razor sharp teeth.

It's going to suck. I mean, even a small one, I'm probably going to need stitches. Like, it's not going to be good. But I will survive it. It's not, you know, Wahoo bite's not going to kill you. It's like a shitty dog bite, right? You get a bite, single bite, sucks. It's going to be very sad about it.

But in the morning, I'm going to be able to breathe in the water and swim at 50 miles an hour. Okay. Okay. Fuck. That's so much better than be able to just impress people by carrying stuff. I'm basically Aquaman, though, and he's a fucking loser. Like, who the fuck hangs out with Aquaman?

He talks to fish. You know what I mean? Like, I haven't got there yet. I've got a cool power, but you're Hercules. I'm Aquaman right now. I mean, I'm going to be more popular at, like, Venice Beach. You are. Like, you can swim underwater 50 miles an hour and, God damn it.

The military is going to be hiring me for sure for Assassin mission. There's just a really good pick. Okay. Let's go. Okay. Get it done. Two picks. I've been thinking about this for decades.

So my first pick. Now, I know this is going to seem a little strange and a little untraditional, non-traditional, but I'm picking a gorilla. And I'll tell you why. A gorilla, listen. Okay. A gorilla, I know you might. You might think a gorilla would just, you know, it could obviously fucking come.

It's very strong. It can kill me. But here's the reality. I'm very charming. And animals love me. And I'm quite confident that once the gorilla saw me and I started like, you know, putting on my charm, I'd easily be able to tame this gorilla. And all he'd do is give me a swift slap in the face.

And I would get his super strength and his ability to, you know, everything else, gorillas do. Wasn't the first part of this rule no super strength now? Well, I mean, you don't know. I get what you're saying. But he's also talking about lifting a million times his weight. I'm talking about having the agility and the fierceness of a gorilla. Just imagine me as a gorilla. Okay. Can we just say that the caveat of this is you come with like really hunched over shoulders and you're dragging your knuckles? Like you're, you're, you're different than I look normal. But you also have to take a guerrilla attack in order to get this power. Right.

I just told you. You have to get attacked by a silver. Did you not listen to my, dude, I just told you that I would easily be able to charm this gorilla into only giving me a slight slap to the face. It's a terrible pick. I mean, it's a cool power. I just don't believe that you'd survive the gorilla slap. I, but that being said, you're very guerrilla-ish.

Like, you're quick to anger. like you're just you're a ridiculous person you're huge you're way too large yeah you're just you're way too big of a person you're you're thick i mean like it's not a bad pick like i feel like you would fit in like it makes sense okay so you're basically the guy from umbrella academy i don't know if you watch that yet big hairy dude yeah yeah it's it's good yeah you're peter gets killed by a gorilla and then stays the same what's your second yeah oh a snake drafting dude Fuck.

Hey, he's getting it. I hate this shit. All right. So my next pick would be, uh, this animal is an animal that everybody has heard of. It's, um,

it's an animal that has, uh, quite a unique ability, um, to regenerate itself when it is injured. I would be attacked by a earthworm. That's going to be pretty easy. A gorilla earthworm, you think?

You can take on a gorilla that can regenerate body parts? I don't think so. Okay. That's pretty good, Peter. I mean, the whole getting attacked by an earthworm, I'm not sure what that looks like, but you're going real hard on. I don't think it's not hurt.

I've fought with many an earthworm every time I've gone fishing, so I think I'll be okay. I believe. All right, all right. What do you got for us? My second pick, so I've got my aquatic powers. I'm mixing it up now. Now, my second pick and something I've actually been bitten by a number of times, once with Patrick, actually, I'm going to get, just take a little chump from a chameleon.

Now, I basically, yeah, I basically have the power of invisibility. Now, not exactly. We've all seen chameleons can change. You know, they don't disappear, but I can go against the walls and I will be, I will be such a good spy. Are you kidding me? I will be. So what are you going to do with that power? you're going to just like hang out in Target until after they close and then

hang out with no lines? I think I'm mostly going to rob banks, to be honest. I think I'm just going to hang out in the corner of a bank, look like a trash can, and then they're going to close it, and I'm just going to pop up and just go into the vaults, and here we go. I didn't realize chameleons were good at cracking safes. That's awesome. All right.

So, look, I can now lift 900,000 pounds, which is amazing. And I'll probably just gain 20 pounds. so that I can make that a million. Because I have the power of an ant. Now I'm going to add two powers to that. So first, I'm going to take an attack, and this could potentially be vicious. It is from a creature called an animal,

called the Antarctic Sponge. Okay. It's a, essentially looks like an adorable lufa. I don't know how it eats, but I don't think its attack is going to hurt. in fact, it might feel really good. And then I'm going to take his power because this animal, the Antarctic sponge,

lives for 15,000 years. Ah, it's a good power. Here's where this becomes a problem. I don't even like being alive in the age of social media. And so like a terrible pick. A hundred years from now. What are you doing? Why are you picking something in a talk,

telling us why it's a horrible pick? Well, here's why. Because ultimately, if I'm going to be the guy who can carry 900,000 pounds, I also want to have no fear of death. Because if you told me right now, dude, you're going to live to be 15,000, I'd be like, oh, my God. I'm going to do everything. Great.

Watching everybody. Just go skydive without a parachute. Let everybody watch everybody in your life die many, many times over for 15,000 years. That's going to happen either way, man, because I'm healthy as a horse. So, Antarctic Sponge. I'm going to live. 15,000 years. And then I'm going to just take kind of the low-hanging fruit for my final pick.

This is going to hurt. I don't know how bad, but I know it's going to be bad. I'm going to take a brutal, vicious claw and beak attack from the Peregrine falcon. Because this animal is the indisputable fastest animal in the sky, flying at speeds of up to 186 miles an hour. I want the power of flight. I just want that so I can fly somewhere, pick up a house, and I'm not going to die for 15,000. You're Superman. You're ultra strong.

You can fly super fast, and you basically are invincible. You've created Superman out of animal powers. And maybe I'll tie my hair black and get some cool glasses. I don't know. Well, what's his name, Henry Cavill? Henry Cavill. Yeah. Yeah.

Will you please be as handsome as him, too, because. That I can't change. I can't do anything about this. those. All right, Flores, how are you going to round out your skill set? Okay. Yeah, to be honest, mine's pretty eclectic so far. So, you know, I'm going to keep going that way. I'm not going to go traditional. I'm going to take a shot from a very weird creature known as a bombardier beetle, which shoots acid out of its anus, hot, noxious acid. It's literally at room temperature that will

boil and melt things. So I have now the ability to swim really fast and breathe underwater, blend into the surroundings for no apparent reason, and shit acid out at a very hot temperature if anybody startles me. For even less of an apparent reason. Yeah, for even less of an apparent reason. So I'm not, I'm not the military's first pick of Super Soldier. I'm probably their last pick, but, you know, still got some powers. I'm still hanging in there. It's funny because you're, you're often, of tactics are useless if you're wearing pants, which means you always have to be nude from the waist down or wearing chaps. Yeah, just daffy ducking it the whole time. Just a white, plain white t-shirt and nothing else. Yeah, exactly. Cool animal superpower. I think you just lost the better royal because you wanted to get that cool fact in there.

Yeah, kind of. If the Brosners pick you over me, that you're done. They're cheating. They're cheating. Yeah. All right, Retep, what are you going to add to staying the same? Being dead from a guerrilla attack and then whatever your second thing was. I'm obviously able to regenerate limbs and body parts. Whatever. I'll see you in 5 million BC in your life. I don't know what I'm talking about. I've been thinking about this while you guys were yammering.

I, it's going to be controversial. But I am going to take on herpes because, you know, take on herpes. And then I will have the ability to multiply and take over anything I wish at a very viral rate using all of my regeneration. So your third animal is getting herpes? That's your third. And then having the ability to just spread across the globe with my regenerating limbs and my gorilla strength. So let me let me get your your superpower straight. So you're just basically you, but with even more aggression and testosterone and even a hair your back as a gorilla.

You regenerate when something beats you up and you just spread like a virus. So all of a sudden there's there's thousands of angry Peters all over the globe. If you tear an arm off or anything of the sort, pet say Pat comes at me with his beak and talons and picks off, you know, lifts off, my hand and drops it somewhere, it regenerates into a fully new herpes, gorilla-like, earthworm creature. So you're just like ripping arms off and tossing them to the side and then all of a sudden a new Peter Sprout.

This is my nightmare. You are describing more of you is my nightmare to begin with. A plague of you is, it's revolting. Dude, herpes is brutal. Imagine how cocky he would be in the Chicago bar scene. if he knew that when someone bumped into him and started a fight, he could take his right arm,

tear off his left arm, hit the guy with it, and then grow another left arm. I could cut off a toe and it would regenerate into a full new fucking soldier. I think I got this. You would roll around with a pack of Peters at all times.

There would just be an entourage of these hairy, aggressive Peters walking around. The problem is you'd still have herpes. No. Yeah, but you all have herpes, by the way, and we all are herpes. So, I don't know. That's really funny.

Okay, so, brosters, if you're digging this, you know, first of all, go on to iTunes, leave us a five-star review, please. That's all we ask. We don't sell ads. We don't do any nonsense. We just want your love. But while you're there, do us a favor,

and give us a vote. Who created the best superhero? Was it Papa Patrick's Superman-like creature, which is a combination of an ant's strength, a Lufa's ability, to live forever and a Peregrine's Falcon ability to fly as the fastest creature on earth. Pretty incredible,

basically Superman. My very, very odd eclectic group of powers, which is the Wahoo's ability to swim really fast and breathe underwater. The chameleon's ability to blend in, maybe throw some tongue action in there, not really sure.

And the Bombadiers, Beatles' action ability to shit acid at a hot temperature. Of course, this is very useful for literally nothing. Or Peter's herpes infested gorilla earthworm creature that replicates every time a limb is born from it looks exactly like Peter but has more aggression and back hair

and is just riddled with herpes. If you touch it, you get herpes. If you look at it, you practically get herpes. He's basically a giant walking herpes. Replicates very fast, hard to control, not curable. Yeah. This is a mess. Patrick is the only one that had any kind of synergy or uniformity to his superhero. Much cleverer than the other two. That being said, please don't vote for him. He's never got to win. Let's not make tonight the night. So yeah, cleverer. Not a word. Carry on. Much cleverer.

Thank you for that. Hey, Retep, is the swag ready? Is the, are the shirts? Just about. Yeah. I'm waiting on the ones that. that's the professor, the name ones. But we have two real fucking nice ones I sent you guys, my spirit animal. Yeah, love it. So when are those going to go live for the people that are interested? Next, no, no, next week for sure.

I've been meaning to put it up. I just got slammed and, you know. Sweet. Yeah. So it'll be up next week. Awesome. Peter, where can people find us on social media? And then I've got something to surprise you guys with as well as the brosners.

Oh, yeah. at Wild Times Pod on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. On YouTube, it is YouTube. You know, YouTube.com, the channel is the Wild Times podcast. Obviously search us in Google. We have a website, the Wild Times Podcast.com. And yeah, we'll be there. Sweet.

I like that. So, guys, next week I have a surprise for us. I have a friend, and she is an extremely famous Instagram model by the name of Charlie Jordan. Will, if you're still on, maybe you can pull up a pick of Charlie. She's got millions of millions of followers, and she's an absolute sweetheart. And the reason that Charlie is going to be joining us on the pod next week is because Charlie has decided to use her public figure, her powers of persuasion for these millions and millions of what I assume are mostly thirsty guys, to bring some attention to conservation.

Now, she's not a biologist. She's not a conservationist. She is just an average. I mean, she's not average. She's beautiful, but she is just a normal person who has this incredible power of influencing others. And she has decided to shine a light on and change her direction to be about wildlife. Oh, wow. And she's coming on the pod next week to tell us about that for the first time.

That is her first venture into the space. And she's decided to join us next week to talk about it. Yeah. Yeah. So hopefully she's prepared for the fact that we are, three drunk buffoons. And we will talk some conservation and a lot of bullshit, probably, you know, about childhood cereals.

But, yeah, Charlie, Charlie with a Y, C-H-A-R-L-Y, Jordan will be our guest next week. We'll talk all sorts of shit. That's going to be fun. Always is. Yeah, it'll be a good time. It'll be good to get her perspective on everything. And until then, that's about it. Good night.

Good night. I love you guys. Love you guys, listeners.
