Wild Times, here we go.
What are you doing, Petter?
Oh, sorry.
Welcome to the Wild Times,
greatest podcast in the world, on the air,
ever existed in the universe.
Fact.
Get off your phone.
I was a fun news story I wanted to say.
I am your host, Forrest Glandt to the broologist.
The guy on his phone is Kim Kardashian.
He sits there on his phone during hair salons.
It worked for them, so we're trying it.
He's just going to be on his phone, the whole pod.
People like watching people who are texting the entire time.
Yeah, 100%.
Nobody cares about me.
And it's also Patrick.
I'm not on my phone.
Yeah, he's not.
Here we are.
For once.
What is it so interesting?
Tell us what you're researching.
This is going to be controversial.
Are you ready for this?
Very.
You guys know that the dodo.
You heard of it?
No, I sure have.
Was actually not hunted to extinction.
Its extinction was most likely the result of hurricanes,
local floods, deforestation, and their eggs and young being eaten by pigs and monkeys.
I'm
That's what I'm saying.
This is controversial.
I mean, we brought pigs to Mauritius.
And it's not monkeys.
It's pigs and rats.
It says pigs and monkeys.
That's wrong.
According to Wikipedia.
Hey, listen, chat, GPD.
You don't know.
It's not.
It's Wikipedia.
All right, go ahead.
Tell me why it's wrong.
Tell me.
I'll tell you why it's wrong because...
Dodo.
It's in part correct.
Thank you.
The problem.
Everything is so black and white
and it's not how the world works.
What happened was people came to Mauritius.
Like they...
No, they didn't nut on Mauritius.
Whoa, I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
They didn't come down Mauritius?
They came to Mauritius.
And then they were like, wow, look at these stupid birds.
So they walked around bopping them on the head because they could.
And it was fun and there was nothing else to do there.
In addition to that, they started cutting down trees and being like, oh, we need these trees to build canoes and huts and houses.
And in addition to that, with them came rats and pigs, not monkeys, not sure where that came from.
And the rats, the rats would eat the eggs.
The pigs would come along and eat the babies.
people would bop them on the head,
the trees that they like to eat the seeds from
disappeared, and all those things in
combination led to the extinction of the Dodo.
Okay, but you know, the common belief
is that humans hunted them to extinction,
which seems to be not the prominent theory anymore.
I would say it's 80, 20 humans hunted them to extinction.
Wow, I think you're going to get a lot of hate for this in the comments.
I hope I do.
Well, the idea that it was hurricanes.
When there had been many hurricanes there,
well, it was extant.
And then within a hundred years of humans arriving, it was gone.
I think common sense goes, I think that might have something.
Well, listen, I'm just saying it's very specifically said hunting of the dodo bird.
All these other things.
Someone time traveled.
What do you mean?
Someone time traveled back in one.
I figured it out.
It was the hurricane.
I hope at some point we can talk about aliens today because I have stuff.
I watched this crazy documentary with like a found,
footage like of this tornado.
Okay.
Have you guys seen this thing?
No.
No idea.
It's like this tornado doc.
I think it's on Netflix.
It's called Twister.
No.
Twisters.
What is it called?
No, it's not that.
But basically there's all these people filming during this crazy
hurricane.
Okay.
Yeah, the twister caught in the storm.
And what happened?
I think that's it.
Why does the movie cover to it?
I don't know. It's just gnarly, dude.
Like these amateur like goth kids that,
Like go out because they're amateur storm chasers and they're filming.
And the Joplin one was a devastating.
The shit just gets out of control, dude.
They think that, you know, they go to look at it.
And then they're like, oh, shit, it's like huge end coming at us faster than we can drive.
I kind of love to do this.
I feel like you get such a cool, like, experience and rush from being in a storm like this.
Yeah, I've never seen a tornado.
No, I haven't either.
Oh, dude, I was in one when I was at this place called Hopson Pool,
we all went when I was a kid in Chicago.
Well, suburb, Downer's Grove.
I remember the sky turned completely green, dude.
You could feel the air just got all like wet.
And it was like very sunny and nice out then all of a sudden just boom.
And then a giant gust of wind and they shuffled us all into the bathroom, you know, like put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye status.
And it touched down literally, man, like a mile away.
And the door was open so I could see it just like coming.
from the sky and it was all green
and then gray and just
it was huge too and man
I was terrified of a tornadoes
after that was it making a crazy sound
it was I couldn't hear it was so loud and things were slamming
chairs were being blown all over like
and rain I mean it was just raining
and thundering and lightning constantly
and then it went away after like
10 minutes boom everything
cleared up and it was peaceful so was that
the scariest to like natural disaster
event you've been a part of
without question.
What about you for us?
What's your,
what's your most memorable?
Definitely,
I posted some of this
during the fire,
but the fire,
we got hit back to back
with the fire
and then the mud slides.
Yeah,
right,
at my house.
And the fire,
you guys probably remember this.
I was talking to everybody
about it.
Like,
I went and got firefighter
for my buddy.
I hooked up a hose
to the fire hydrant.
Two, three years ago it was now?
I think it was like five or six
at this point.
I don't know,
but it was a while ago.
Right.
So did all that.
And the fire came.
And it was literally,
really like, you guys know what my house is like, but my house is here.
Ocean is this way and there's like this valley.
Then on the other side, you could see the fire on that ridge line.
So it was right there, but it never came on to basically our side of the house or our side
of the hill.
But three, four, six months later, whatever it was, was when the mudslides happened.
And that was the gnarliest of things.
You were trapped in your house, right?
Trapped for 10 days.
Couldn't get out.
Like literally couldn't get out.
No power.
And I mean, like, this is me who's like pretty good at trekking and adventuring.
we could not escape from our home for like 10 days.
Yeah.
I really let my beard go there.
10 days with no razor.
He couldn't charge it.
Kyle pulled up some footage from the flood, man.
This was the creek that we swim in and play in.
Most of the time dry.
But then I don't know if Kyle if it's the same video.
Yeah, yeah, here you go.
Holy crap.
It took out this bridge.
The mud was way up over all this stuff once it all dried up.
I mean, it was crazy.
What was your wife and your son doing?
Were they freaking out or?
Well, there's nothing to really freak out about because our house is probably like 400 feet or more elevated from where this creek is.
So nothing was actually going to happen to our house, but the road got washed out.
The area got washed out.
Like the mud came, you know, look how wet and green everything is.
It doesn't even look like our house.
But everything got washed out.
The power lines went away.
These giant boulders, I think you see it towards the end of the video, if I, if I remember correctly.
Like you see these boulders coming down the creek.
and it sounds like, you know, it's just like it sounds like a mudslide.
Like, look at that boulder.
Oh, yeah. Wow.
And so I don't know. I mean, you know, I was never in a life-threatening situation or anything,
but it just, it was very intense just to see that much power for that much, like, land moving.
I feel like you've been in probably at least a baker's dozen worth of life-threatening
situations that you just don't think are life-threatening.
Oh, like the story my wife told about swimming to the waterfall.
That's right.
All right. Let's play a game.
How about you, Pat?
I want to hear any, any like, threatening natural disaster?
I mean, honestly, the day that I left the studio early.
Yeah, that's right.
The fire day?
Yeah, and just drove right through this fire that was right on the highway.
That was, that was the most scared I've ever been from anything natural because I thought I was having a heart attack.
Threatening your child's school.
Yeah, that was definitely gnarly.
Yeah, that's, let's play a game out of this.
You want to play a game?
Sure.
Let's get top three DFL jingle, Kyle.
Ooh.
Number one.
Number two.
Number three.
Dead fucking lost.
Okay, thank you for the jingle.
All right, here we go.
This is going to be our top three DFL natural disasters to experience.
Okay.
Okay, so ones that we'd like to live to tell the story.
Oh, yeah, just like I personally would love to see a hurricane.
Like, I know people have been massively negatively affected by them.
I'm not making light of it.
But to experience a hurricane, tornado, any of these things.
And then what's the one that you're like just absolutely not?
Like, I don't want to have any part of it.
Oh, I know.
that is. All right. I can go first. Should I go first? Yeah. Yeah. Go for it. All right. So,
coming in at number three of things that I want to experience, which I sort of did, but it would be
interesting to see it in another capacity in a full on as a flood. Like an actual flood. Like,
you know where you see on the news? Everything's underwater. Like a giant river is slowly rising.
Yeah. And it's so scary. Like that. I'm not, again, I'm not saying like I want to be in danger or anything
else, but it would be very surreal to see this. I've never seen this. I've never seen this. I've never
kayak through a neighborhood.
Like that speed limit sign covered up to the top of the 20 and like trees and shit.
All these pictures.
I think it's just very surreal to me.
And I've never,
I've never seen it.
I've never experienced it.
I remember in Florida there were like gators in people's living rooms and sharks going down
the main street.
That's just really interesting.
Yeah.
So I'm going to go flood at number three.
Number two is a tornado.
Yeah.
That's what we're talked about.
I think the storm chaser thing would be really cool.
Yeah.
And then I would like to sort of experience.
experience the raw power of a hurricane. Like what, you know, I don't want to be on a boat. I don't
want to be in jeopardy. I don't want people to die. None of that. But like, it would be really
interesting to experience this. We don't get these in California. As you guys know, I've never
seen the 100 mile an hour winds, the giant waves. Like, I've never seen any of that.
What about it? So what would your DFL be? Oh, a freeze for sure. Why? A desert? A blizzard. A
100% that's weak i hate the cold i don't want things to freeze i like i just no everything's
roads are all icy the doors are jammed frozen i don't be quick because i'm assuming the power
goes out and you're all shivering no what i ask clown i don't know any any others than he said
except for one which will be in mine tsunami fires i'm coming dude lightning storms are you crazy no
meteor showers come on shower what you talking about okay yeah yeah yeah yeah quiet quiet
It's. Stop ruining all of them.
You said you'd never heard of another natural.
Just shut your butt.
You mentioned two.
Gosh.
Go, go.
So, uh, I really enjoy, uh, like thunderstorms.
And so a hurricane that would be like a cat two max.
I would, uh, as my number three because there's like a sense of community.
Everybody's boarding up their houses.
You're like a lot of, a weird game.
A lot of, it's very strange, but let's keep going to this.
A lot of people probably like have evacuated.
So there's only like a.
handful of you who are probably like, hey, like having a beer outside waiting for it to come and
shit. And I've seen it. Just standing there in your shorts. You see it on the news. You got to be the
stay at home guy. You can't be the evacuate guy. You'll be like bring it on. Yeah, you got to be the
one beer guy. I've been, I've been in this house for 35 years. I ain't leaving today. I talk just like
that too. You do. So that would be my, my number three. So though a tornado was terrifying,
I've also been through many, many other tornadoes that were warnings that I never saw touchdown or
whatever. Again, I love thunderstorms, and there's something about it when it's really warm out
and it's raining hard. And I like it. Like, I'd love to sit on a porch and just, I love it downpouring.
The harder the rain, the better, dude. Like, I just, I just love that. It is a good vibe.
Yeah, it's in Chicago. A monsoon. You might like a monsoon. I've been in a monsoon. Did not like it.
I was outside next to the Grand Canyon. Everything was fine. And then there was a fucking monsoon.
And I had to run to the car and it was not fun. Okay. So, so,
So number one then would be, and this is purely based on the fact that I don't want to be in any actual danger,
would be a small eruption from a volcano that I can kind of just stand up.
That's awesome.
That's a great idea.
Slow.
And then I can stand over and just watch it come down.
I'll be in like a heat resistant suit.
That's a great.
That's a great pick.
Volcanoes are amazing.
Dude, the worst one would be like a seven point earthquake in a city, dude.
like terrifying.
You don't know what's happening.
You feel like you're drunk.
The ground is shaking.
That and I were there for it.
Buildings fall down on you.
Like there's just,
it's so unpredictable,
fires can start.
Earthquakes are terrifying.
They're gnarly.
Have you seen the video of the people
in the swimming pool in Thailand
when the earthquake happens?
Oh, and the wave comes?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have.
Look at this.
So these people are chilling
on like a rooftop pool
in Bangkok
where there was just that massive
earthquake.
Dude.
It's like an infinity pool too, by the way.
So the edge is right there.
Right.
And there's glass.
Right.
Good.
So look at that glass ain't going to be there for long.
So the pool starts looking like a wave pool.
Oh my God.
Oh, no.
Get out.
Get out.
And they realize what's happening.
So they get out of their quick.
All the water from the pools all over the deck.
They're scrambling.
They're falling.
Holy.
And then look at the glass on the right side of the frame.
That's not going to last long.
Is that that that's the infinity pool.
Yeah, but there's a glass wall.
Oh, I see.
It fell.
Oh, it's gone already.
It's gone.
Oh, man.
That is terrifying.
You're so high up.
I get like a little goosebumps because I don't even like being like high up in skyscrapers anyway.
Right.
So my number three would be I'd like to be in the keto Ecuador airport lounge with a 7.3 earthquake.
Bananas.
Forrest and I were there.
Yeah.
And everyone evacuated except us.
Yeah.
And we just helped ourselves to a bunch of orange juice and vodka.
Yeah.
We're like, well, there's no one else here.
We're just shaking like, oh, yeah.
Because the person that told, so the kitchen staff ran out,
knocked Mitch over when they kicked the door open.
And someone who was working at a chicken stand told us to leave.
And we were like, I don't think he's the authority.
So we stayed there.
He was in a red and white chicken costume, by the way.
And this was the guy controlling the crowd.
He got on top of his chicken cart.
And he's like, all right, everybody, calm down.
And we're like, no.
We're not listening to you.
And so then someone with a badge told us we had to evacuate.
So then Forrest busted out his Bluetooth speaker.
And we had a dance party on the tarmac, which was quite fun.
Sorry, I just burped into the mic.
Pardon me.
So that'd be my number three.
Number two is an ice storm.
That's what I, it just...
Growing up in upstate New York, I've been through several ice storms.
But my first year out of college, I still lived up there.
And we had a crazy ice storm that knocked power out for like a week.
I've never seen anything like this in my life. National Guard called in. Listen to this, though, right?
So me and my two buddies had the upstairs apartment of a house. That was the gay dad that we talked about recently?
No. Okay. Powers out the entire neighborhood. Our downstairs neighbor powers out. Somehow we had power.
You're joking. So like we basically had like a sleepover. We had like 10 friends just came and stayed with us for a week. It was great.
Yeah, that vibe.
but when there's something going on
where like people get together
is the only fun part of a natural disaster.
You can't do shit because the roads are closed.
You can't go to work.
You can't drive.
Your car doesn't start.
I mean,
that's why I said this is my nightmare.
I've never seen this,
by the way.
Like,
I've never seen an ice storm.
It's fucking crazy.
And then number one,
I've experienced many of these
and they're real fun is a blizzard.
An absolute...
But what's there between an ice storm and a blizzard.
Oh, ice and snow are different.
Have you ever heard what they do?
No.
The first time I've ever heard this.
How old are you?
Google, Kyle, Google, Oswego, New York, snow.
And go to Google Images.
There's a great, it's a OS, yeah, there you go.
New York, New York, go to Google Images.
Look at, go to the top left.
Is that like standard for you in the wintertime there?
It gets a lot of snow because it's right on Lake Ontario, but it's like 30 feet of snow right there.
That's wild.
It's like the Grand Canyon of snow.
Yeah, so we would get these massive blizzards when I was a kid.
and dude it's like you might get three, four days out of school.
Wow.
Did you ever build like a snow fort?
Of course.
It was really,
I did it with my buddy and we would smoke weed like in an igloom.
How old were you building snowboards?
Yeah, it was like seven, eight.
I mean.
But dude, I mean, look, blizzards are great.
The massive sense of community.
All the kids are fucking, dude,
everyone's out of school.
Climbing out the upstairs windows to get outside.
How exciting is that?
Incredibly.
That must be the most exciting thing.
Oh, yeah.
The sledding that comes after?
Oh, my goodness.
Dude,
and then me and my friends would hit the streets, right, with our shovels.
Oh, there you go.
And we would go shovel out people's driveways.
Good business.
Make like, you know, 20, 30 bucks each.
Wow.
You can buy a lot of baseball cards.
DFL.
Tornado.
Absolutely terrifying.
Every other thing, there's something that feels like a measure of control.
A fire, I feel like that.
Like, fire is terrifying.
Yeah.
Yeah, fire earthquake for me.
But tornado, I think, just from like insane fear that you have no control over.
Yeah, sure.
Like a flood or a hurricane, at least you have the potential ability to raft or swim or climb on your roof.
Yep.
Tornado, it's just like, does it hit the place I'm in or not?
Right.
Forrest Kyle or I mean, Patrick had asked you how old you are.
Yeah.
Recently you had a birthday, didn't you?
I did.
If you have a cat, you have to listen to the next thing I say.
It's important.

Kyle and I are going to do a little competition.
What's your lineup, Kyle?
We sure are.
Yeah.
So for tonight, I'm going Donovan Mitchell, higher 25 and a half points.
Tyler Hero, lower five and a half rebounds.
And then Dylan Brooks lower than one and a half assists.
And Jimmy Butler, 19.5 points.
I'm going lower.
What does that pay?
10x.
10x?
Okay.
I'm going with a four banger that pays 17x.
Wow.
17 times your money.
That's good.
It hits.
All right.
So I'm going BAM, Audubio.
lower than 34.5 combined points rebounds assists.
He always lets me down when I go more than.
Evan Mowgli, I'm going lower than 30 and a half points rebounds and assists.
Same thing. He always, he always screws me.
Duncan Robinson higher than five and a half points.
He's crafty.
He just needs it at two threes.
And then I'm going higher than 16.5 points for Dylan Brooks.

Hey, Kyle, do you have a dog?
I do not.
You should get a few.
You should get a few dogs.
Okay.
My dog, Luca.
I always wanted to feed my dog like the fresh dog food, you know, not stuff out of a bag.
The problem for me was the packaging.
I tried it a couple times and it was a mess.
I've discovered a new product.
it's a game changer. It's called Sundays for dogs. It is fresh, healthy dog food made with human
great ingredients, but incredibly easy to store and serve, which kind of takes that pain point out of it.
I get it delivered right to my door. My dog, Luca, has been eating it for about two weeks.
Legit seems like she has more energy and has noticeably better breath.
Oh, that's fantastic. That's your life easy. It's a legit game changer. I feel really good
knowing I'm giving my buddy some stuff that I could eat if I needed to.
If you want to try it for your dog, if you want to get 40% off your first order of Sundays,
go to Sundays for Dogs.com slash wild or use the code wild at checkout.
You should try it.
We have a new sponsor that I'm really excited about.
Brunt Workwear reached out to us and said, can we send you guys some work boots?
And we said, yeah, let's check them out and see if we really like them.
And I think everyone really likes these work boots.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're great.
Here they are.
Yep, they're right here.
These are the Marin boots.
They're absolutely fantastic.

I had my birthday like two weeks ago.
Something happened, didn't it?
And it was all your own doing.
In hindsight, I regretted not inviting you guys.
But at the time I was like, they're not going to drive up in LA.
It was on a Sunday.
you might have come. I would have come. Yeah. If I didn't have kids, I would have gone.
Yeah, that makes sense. So I did this last year or something similar last year and it's,
I don't know if we've discussed this or not, but it really falls into the how old are you comment,
which is, here's why, I'll explain. I said to my wife, she's like, I'm going to make you a lovely
cake for your birthday and we'll have some friends over, we'll have a barbecue. It's basically a chance for
the kids to play together. Right. Everybody's got kids now, whatever. I'm like, great. I don't care. I just don't want to be involved.
And so then my wife goes, I'll make you.
a cake. And I was like, please don't. I don't really like cake that much. It's like, fine.
So what do you like? Well, my favorite food that is awful for you that I could only ever
justify eating on my birthday is bubblegoam ice cream is Oreo milkshakes.
It's like my favorite food. And you can only just like in the last two years of my life,
I've had two Oreo milkshakes and they've both been on my birthday. However, it's unjustifiable.
No, as an adult, you can't just like have an Oreo milkshake. That's
insane thing to do.
Especially, especially she around that old 40-year mark where we're all.
Oh, God.
You're done for like a day.
One Oreo milkshakes, like eight pounds of fat that you gained just by looking at it.
So on my birthday, yeah, so on my birthday, I was like, I want Oreo milkshakes.
And Jessica's like, great.
And that's super easy.
Did you say milkshakes plural?
No, I said shake, but it turned into shakes.
Okay.
Anyway, long story short, I partied like I was 21.
I drank, the rugby guys came over with their kids and they're like, we got to put
booze in these Oreo milkshakes.
I was like, yes, we do.
Okay, and let me guess.
Bourbon.
Rum.
Okay, rum, yeah.
And we had three, I had, we didn't.
I had three double shot Oreo milkshakes over the course about two and out.
I asked people to leave.
I was like, could you please go home?
Yeah, you got to lie down there.
The amount of dairy and sugar plus the booze on top of a bar.
I was like, please go home now.
Like, I need to lie down.
What was the feeling?
I felt sick.
I felt bloated.
I felt like throwing up.
Yeah.
At the same time,
I was somehow kind of oddly hungry because I was like drunk hungry.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
It was awful.
I just lay on the couch and my wife was like, everybody's gone.
It's your birthday.
I was like, please don't even fucking touch me.
Oh my God.
Like get away from me.
I was like, go get away from me.
Go go somewhere.
I'm going to fart and fall asleep.
I can't even look at myself with my shirt on.
Yeah, 100%.
I felt revolting.
And I was like, wow, this is, I am that old.
I'm old enough that Oreo milkshakes kicked my ass.
God, there wasn't a bouncyy house.
God, there wasn't a bouncy house, dude.
That's kidding.
Nightmare.
So you just got real sick.
Pretty much.
Yeah, that was my birthday celebration.
We are so stupid as a species.
Yeah.
We really are.
I literally just poisoned myself with dairy, sugar, and alcohol.
The mouth has such control over the brain.
You're like, oh, yeah, I want to taste that.
Dude, it's, I was just, last weekend, we just did a little trip and we're staying at a hotel midweek.
It was nice.
Oh, good news.
There was a teaky bar at the hotel.
And five o'clock, everyone was.
resting. I was like, okay, I don't know what that is. So I'm going to go down to the bar.
Yeah, must-stis-a-bar. And like, it's all these fun drinks that you can't make it home,
whatever, but I was like, I know I'm going to pay the price for this. Yeah. And so I just
did it anyway. No, I didn't. I just did a little Jack and Diet. Really? Yeah, because I can,
I wanted to keep the night going. I am shocked. Yeah, I know, I couldn't do it. You were getting
old. Start ordering those blue drinks and that stuff. I know, but I was responsible.
I've known you for a very long time. And I've never seen you sit in your hotel.
while other people are saying, like, I don't, of course not.
I don't think I've ever seen you in a hotel room.
Only to sleep.
Secondly, I've never seen you pass up the opportunity to have something fun and silly.
It's age, man.
Fun and silly.
Yeah, you can't.
Because I know even just, even just, if you go, okay, I'll just have one.
Yeah.
Still, like, it just makes you feel like shit.
It's just not good.
I've talked about many times writing a book about life hacks that will keep you healthy, right?
One of my things is that, you know, they always give you two shells on the talk of you,
you take one off.
You're just a amount of calories.
Kyle,
how many times have you heard Peter talk about removing one
his taco trail?
He wants to write a book about that.
He wants to write a book on removing one torsia.
The whole book is just going to be like that and why it's great.
The taco,
the tortillas taco.
That's what you should name it.
This is another one I would add to the book.
You know,
when you're out,
these drinks are a total gimmick.
They're not good.
They don't get you drunk enough.
And even if you do get nice feeling like tipsy in the head,
your rest of your body feels like,
shit with the sugar and the fullness.
Here's where you're wrong.
Here's where you're wrong.
And Patrick's wrong for making that choice.
And I'm the only right ones for making himself sick, apparently.
Yes.
Which is, the drink sucks.
I'm not arguing that.
I don't want the fucking simple serve.
I don't want the food coloring.
I don't want the umbrella.
It's the vibe.
It's like that drink represents fun.
And I'm out here to have fun.
And then like you on the couch sick for six hours, does that represent fun?
It was not worth it.
Does that represent fun for us?
I agree with one.
you're saying is, but at the time, my peacock brain goes,
hmm, colorful drink, fun, must have colorful drink to have fun.
And then I regret it.
You know what never fails to give me a jolt of fun, magic mind?
Oh, there you know.
I'm going to have one right now.
I need the energy and it doesn't make me full.
Makes you, makes you, uh, calm, collected focus.
I mean, the vibe of the shit.
Yeah, I will say the vibe of just sitting at a hotel, outdoor pool bar in a nice short
pair of shorts. Solo.
Solo for sure. I don't need
the drink to enhance the fun, man. No?
I mean, I need the booze.
Yeah. Oh, but I don't need it to be a
colorful drink. Yeah. I just need a random
stranger to talk to. Oh, dude. Yeah, to unleash
you one of those guys. I've never been to therapy. I'm not
starting soon, so I'll look for that stranger
at the bar to unload it all on.
Forrest, like, you're one of those people that
absolutely cannot be in his mind for too long
or he goes insane. You must be on the phone
in a meeting or
and I know you probably hate this,
but like typing up a treatment
or out like in nature or something.
You absolutely cannot just sit still.
Like for you,
I bet meditation is torture.
Oh,
I told Kyle this.
I went to get a massage
when I was in India.
Six minutes in,
I was like,
okay,
you know what?
Hands off.
I've had enough of this.
I can't sit here for any longer dealing with this.
I've,
my shoulders are all fucked up.
And, you know,
like I just always have a little muscle shit.
I can't sit through.
massage. No way. I did a 30 minute out of desperation like maybe three months ago and it was torture.
I hate it. After three minutes, I'm like, what am I supposed to do with myself? I hate it.
Could you imagine walking out after six minutes though? Yeah, that's weird. I wanted to.
I really wanted to. She was so shocked. She looked at me like, what am I supposed to do now? A lot of
times I look at like, I look at you too and I'm like, well, what things can I copy from them? They're very
successful. They make a lot of money. Not that. People like them, you know, they have some power.
like what how could I be more like them and then I realize when you say shit like this oh like they hate themselves correct I just hate silence and I hate being still what about if you pop some headphones in now it's a nightmare today I've got to be doing a podcast come on something it's hard to sit still hey Kyle we got some news give me a little give me a little yeah big news huge news it's not snooze
It's news.
Nice.
Huge.
All right, I saw this, and I've got, I've got gripes with it, because I don't understand it.
I don't understand it.
And anything I don't understand as I get older and as a, as a boring white guy, I get angry about.
Sure.
Yeah.
Title is this.
How Earth's rarest horse once extinct in the wild.
So it got me excited.
Oh, yeah.
Ended up on a Colorado ranch.
Boom.
That is some news right there.
Let me, let me paint a picture.
Please do.
And I'm going to help you understand this.
Thank you.
So you have a story.
a ranch.
I've heard of it.
And you need a mule.
Yeah.
Do some ranch work.
Sure.
Right?
So you go, you see a mule.
You think it's cute.
Yeah.
You name it Shrek.
Good name for a man.
Very good name.
Yeah, you name it.
You name it Shrek.
And you go and this guy's
probably going to get rid of these mules.
Was it expensive?
It was about $1,375.
Pretty good deal for a mule.
I mean, that's an affordable.
I don't know how much a meal should cost.
That sounds cheap around 2000.
I mean, I'm surprised
there was an exchange at all because the mule was set
to be executed anyway.
That's a good point.
That is true. Yeah, let's see how much
is a good mule on eHorses.com?
Wait, check Alibaba first.
Yeah, seriously.
Get an anatronic one.
All right, so Marianne.
Okay, so I can buy a five-year-old
gelding.
3500 bucks.
Oh, even more expensive.
Wow.
20,000 for that mule.
That's a good meal. Whoa, that is a well-bred
mule. All right, so this guy gets a hell of a deal.
He gets a banger of a deal, $1,300.
He picked that a mule. And then the mule starts maybe
not acting so mule-like. Okay.
And for some reason, I don't know why
they decided to do some DNA testing
on this mule. He probably wasn't doing his job.
He was like, what the fuck? This mule's not pulling
things, right. Yeah, wasn't mulein. Yeah, wasn't mulein
right. Turns out
it's a Peralski's horse.
Whoa!
So this is where
my mind is just blown. So, Kyle, just Google Peraldsky's horse quickly because I'm pretty sure
this animal's been extinct for like 150 years. Let's see what it says here. It's kind of muley.
What does it say about it? Like, what is the story here? It looks muley.
But this is, I'm, what, like what's going on here?
Oh, no, sorry, so not extinct. Extinct in the wild, though. Extinct in the wild. Okay.
Extinct in the wild. Native to Central Asia. Yeah, it's like a plains animal from
Asia. And now, so, so this, okay, this horse that looks very unique, does look very muleish.
Yeah. That is from like China and doesn't exist in the wild. Now just came out of a fucking
mule pound in Colorado. I like, I'm so confused. What happened and how? It's very confusing
because like this would have to be born from two other of this highly endangered animal. So it says
Shrek may have originated from a now-closed Colorado sanctuary that once housed endangered horses
from U.S. zoos, but the history is unclear. So, I mean, that's interesting. That's cool that
somebody had, like, you know, horse breeds are crazy. Like, there's so, you guys know about,
like, Horse World? It's insane. Yeah, it's what's going on in Horse World. Crazy, lucrative,
if you're on it. Bro, like, you can stud a racehorse, like a male, like, badass horse. Doesn't even
need to be a racehorse. Just a good-looking horse that's X number of hands.
and has the right...
Yeah.
You could stud that thing
for like a million bucks.
What?
Meaning if I just bring
my male horse to you
for a pipe sesh,
you're paying me a million bucks.
Dude, why are we not
in this business force?
You're an animal guy.
Dude, I don't understand it either.
And there's like hundreds
of breeds of horse.
It's like a whole thing.
But yeah,
anyway, the whole thing's crazy,
but this is like a huge get by this guy.
You paid $1,300 for this horse.
I don't know if you can buy
Perolsky's horses
because they are bred and kept...
I really don't understand the whole thing.
Is there any information on what ended up happening here, Kyle?
What did he do with the horse?
What happened?
So he kept the horse.
Or no, he gave it to the Huckabee.
The Huckabee?
No, no.
The person who has the horse is caring for it while they work with the Denver Zoo to determine what they should do with it.
Okay.
And the legal status of caring for this horse.
It's very cool.
You know, we talked about this a lot.
the
the Arakhan forest turtle
this tiny little turtle
it's not that tiny
pretty big actually
but it's kind of like a wood turtle
it's like semi aquatic semi terrestrial
thought it was extinct for
40 or so years
a couple guys were over in
in Vietnam and they looked on a table
or it was my Anmar and they're like
wait a minute
that turtle looks weird
it's literally tied up there
sitting there to go in a soup pot
for like a dollar 50
wow you know so these things happen
and it goes to show you
there is more of these
genetics and more of these animals floating around under the radar than we think there are.
Okay.
So what's like something that's extinct in the wild that's incredibly rare, like something in the
herb world that would be like insanely rare?
That's common in captivity but extinct in the wild?
Not even necessarily common in captivity.
Who would be a surprise to find it?
What's an incredibly rare herp that you would love to see before you?
Well, like the, like the leachianus geckos.
I think we've talked about them before.
They're these giant velvety geckos
that come from New Caledonia,
and they were basically fabled.
People were like,
there's this giant tree gecko
that's made of velvet,
living in New Calvert.
Is that a fabric?
Yeah.
You never touch belvert.
Velvet and the fart mixed together.
But yeah, this animal was basically like fabled
to the point of people not thinking
it was a real creature.
And then a couple guys went over there
and flew back with these things in their suitcases.
And they're like,
here's a two foot long gecko.
Wow.
That skin feels like velvet.
And, you know, and now it's like pretty common in the pet trade.
You can buy one for like four or five hundred bucks.
Like people keep them regularly.
And in the wild, they're still like the likelihood of seeing one in the wild is slim to none.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
So I guess it would be the equivalent of like, well, I don't know how common Perolsky's horses are.
I don't think they're that common.
I thought they were extinct.
Well, I know they're extinct to the wild, but I thought they were like totally extinct.
So what's, what's up with this horse?
Do we have any Dietz on it?
What makes it different from just like your regular...
It's obviously not a Clydesdale, but like it seems to be a small horse.
It's got a mule-looking face.
It's bred for a certain reason.
It was a Mongolian, I believe, Mongolian native bread horse.
Or what's the word I'm looking for?
Domesticated horse.
Okay.
So I believe that they caught these horses, domesticated them.
And that's kind of why they went extinct in the wild because they rounded up the herds of them.
You know what I mean?
And then brought them into captivity and no longer did these horses kind of roam out in the planes.
I found something kind of interesting out recently.
And Kyle, you should fact check this for me.
Could you move your microwave just your microphone away from your nose?
Thank you.
You pissed me off.
I mean, your nose is enormous.
It is not.
No, you have a great.
When we think of American native horses, we think of like the big Mustang roaming in the open fields and all.
that, correct?
Budweiser, Clydesdale.
Right?
Yeah.
Do you know that
allegedly all horses
in America were extinct?
What?
So there was an American
horse.
Kyle, good luck
figuring this out.
But there was an American
horse that is what
we think of, right?
We think of wild Mustangs
and stuff.
They were wiped out.
And then the horses
that are here today
were brought into
the Americas by the Spanish.
Oh, wow.
I think I knew that.
I feel like I just
found this out.
and I was shocked by it.
It is.
It's shocking to think that, like, you know,
you think of old, old America
and you think like guys riding horses across the planes.
It's like fucking Pocahontas?
Yeah.
And there's like all these,
or a spirit, you know,
spirit,
the animated movie with the horses,
Brian Adams songs.
No.
Okay.
But yeah,
in the late 1400,
Spanish conquistadors brought European horses
to North America.
But I believe at that point of time,
the North American horse was gone already.
Yeah,
they were extinct in North America,
10,000 years.
ago. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. I don't know. To me, that's like revolutionary.
It's like, like, all of, okay, so I guess here's what I'm saying. Well, because you picture
indigenous Americans on horses. Correct. And that's the only way I pictured those tribes
like being like out and free in the plains with the, with the horses and the Pocahontasie type
movies and things like that. And you're like, that's incredible. Like they were alongside
horses. But the truth is, horses went extinct 10,000 years prior to that. And then the
Spanish brought them over, and then I guess a Native American tribes picked them up again.
I don't know.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
So I just learned this, and maybe I'm dumb for not knowing this.
Did you know that the vast majority of fruit and vegetables that we eat, we created?
We created?
Yes.
Explain.
They are not naturally occurring.
Like we hybridize things, or what do you mean?
Big time.
And thousands of years ago, some of them.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like corn.
Okay.
Corn is not something that the earth just created.
Nah, that's a lie.
Fact.
Tell me more.
Fact.
Yeah.
So corn was part of this, it was a type of grass.
Okay.
That had like a couple kernels in it.
And we, or the, I think, Mesoamerican societies turned it into corn.
So they bred, they would, what do they do?
They took that grass and they'd take the ones that had the biggest most kernels and then propagate and propagate.
I imagine.
And so, yeah. But, but like broccoli, uh, most of the fruits, dude. Well, broccoli, there's no way that's natural. I mean, look at it. It's crazy. Every kid now. Yeah, bananas aren't the same as what naturally would occur.
That I knew about the bananas.
There's a TikTok somewhere, Kyle.
Maybe you can find it.
It's a video of like fruit then versus now or something like that.
You do, I mean, if you think, oh, sir, if you do think about it, though, dude, like, the natural state of all these, uh, kind of fruits and vegetables were basically just very, like, fleshy and not really.
Look at a banana.
That's what a naturally occurring banana.
Look at the seeds and, like, the size.
Oh, the seeds are huge on that banana.
Now you can barely see banana seeds.
I didn't even know.
I didn't know they had them.
Yeah.
It is pretty wild to think.
So is that the agricultural revolution that kind of?
I mean, a lot of this stuff was done to, you know, two, three, four thousand years ago.
Yeah.
Look, that's corn.
That's corn.
It looks like a blade of grass.
That's wild.
That is utter shenanigans.
I did not know that.
Yeah.
Wow.
Interesting.
We're lucky, man.
We live in a good time.
Let me say that.
Oh, I disagree.
Relatively speaking.
I think we peaked.
I think humanity peaked.
in the late 90s.
In the late 90s.
Why?
Late 90s early.
Dude, blink 182, Averloven, some 41.
Fucking skate parks.
They're all around.
Dude, are you kidding me?
Like, that was the peak of humanity.
Punk rock hanging out.
That was the peak of humanity.
Everybody says that about the age that they were like teenagers.
Yeah, of course.
Because that's when you were having fun.
I think a fun time I didn't get to live through it would have been like disco.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Like going to the road.
Roller rink.
All right, real quick.
We're going to play a game here.
Kyle, give me a generic.
Give me a generic jingle.
You spark something inside of forest.
I don't care. I'm gaming.
Oh, it's okay.
That's game.
Oh, I like that one.
That was a great jingle.
Go back in time game.
Pick a time period, any time period, anything you like, and go and relive it for five years.
Five years.
Five years.
Wow, that changes things.
You're leaving everything behind, your family, everything.
But you get to go and experience another period in time.
But you're not there for a day.
You're not a tourist.
You're there for five years.
Am I guaranteed to survive it?
No, no.
I'm going to say yes.
What?
It's my game.
Shut up.
I'm going to say yes.
For the purposes of the conversation, I'm going to say yes.
Okay.
Okay, how about this?
You're guaranteed to survive it unless, like, you're basically immortal unless you do something insanely stupid.
Like, if you decide to pick a sword fight, you know, then you're going to die.
Like, if you're like, I'm going back to Jurassic period, you're going to survive it.
Like, you're not going to die of food poisoning.
But if you decide to go steal T-Rex.
you're going to die.
Do you know what I mean?
Like you're immortal within bounds.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I could go to the medieval times and as long as I'm not looking for trouble.
Exactly.
I'm not going to get tortured.
That's the iron maiden.
Yeah, exactly right.
Exactly right.
Can you go first?
Sure.
I think I know mine.
I'm going to say that my period that I would revisit is that of, and I don't exactly know what time
period this is, to be honest, but that of like the early great English explorers.
You know, like the Charles Darwin's, the Magellons, the Jim Corbets, the, what's his name?
Well, those are very different times. Jim Corbett, wasn't he like the Indian tiger hunter?
But like the time of global exploration by saleships out of the UK. Before everything was already
discovered. Yeah, it's like when Darwin found the Galapagos, you're right, those are several
different time periods. But basically that period of British exploration where they were mapping
everything. And you'd go out and you'd travel the world and conquer a new land in the name of the
king of England. So Forrest has given a range of about 2,000 years. No, absolutely not.
Kyle, look up when that was. You're being not helpful over there. I have never helpful. I'm not
helpful. You just got a big laugh out of Kyle. Yeah. All right, I'll see you guys.
I'll leave on a high note. All right. So Darwin was what, 1850? Mid-18.
1800s, right?
Yeah.
Magellan.
Columbus.
Any of those guys?
Well, we know Columbus was late 1400s.
1497, right?
When he discovered a mayor of cock off?
But he was Spanish.
He was Spanish.
True.
That's right.
We're not allowed to talk about him anymore, by the way.
He's been canceled.
I can still talk about him.
He did.
No, stop it.
Baby skulls open.
Oh, you're right.
There are a lot.
I picked a bad error.
All right.
No, no, you're going.
But I think what you're doing is late 1410.
1800s, early 1500s.
Right.
The only way, there was no motorized ships.
And you want to set sail and see new things as they were seen by the Europeans.
Exactly.
That were not discovered, they didn't know about mapping the new world.
It mapping the new world for basically Europeans.
Okay.
I got that vibe.
That's a reasonable vibe.
Yeah.
So, you know, you're going to see Africa for the first time, India for the first time,
the South Pacific for the first time.
You're not knowing what the people look like, the animals look like.
I feel like you'd fare well in that time period.
I like to think so.
Dirty genitals.
Very.
Very.
That's a problem.
A lot of scurvy.
But normalized.
Normalized dirty genitals.
The problem is, though, with this game is you're coming from today's culture.
So you're like, well, okay, so now I've got a three-month voyage into the unknown.
I'm going to grab my eye.
Fuck.
Would you be wearing this outfit?
Yeah, I'm going to wear my dure jeans and to, you know, grab a magic mind for the road.
And they're like, no, no, doth.
Doth shall not.
sir, you shall sit in boredom
for many months.
Google Belzoni.
We could not handle it when Balzoni lived.
All right, let me go next because I'll be quick
and then you could think about it a little bit more
because you want to learn about Belzoni.
I will say this.
You know, I am not an adventurer as you are.
And, you know, just like you said,
it poses that problem where my mind
has been so riddled with
the need for instant gratification
and the addiction to convenience
that I would go no further back than the late 90s, as we just talked about.
I would love to go back to the late 90s, knowing what I know now, and just...
By Bitcoin.
You could invent Google.
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, just, but I would fare well back then.
I feel like I never really matured past that point anyway.
I agree with that.
You know what I would do if I did that?
What?
I would go to Stanford and look for a guy named Mark Zuckerberg.
And kill him.
No, not at all.
I'd be like, hey, listen, buddy.
I just want to give you 10,
grand. I just want to give you 10 grand. Like if you decide to start a company, just remember this.
I want to 5% of it. And other than that, just take 10 grand. That's it. That's all I want to do.
It's very smart. So, BTG, friend of the pod, got me really excited about this sort of time period in
like the early 1800s. Okay. Where like the European Tomb Raiders all went to Egypt.
Ooh, fun. As like henchmen to basically just, they were just ransacking. Looking for gold and
trinkets. Yeah, they were ransacking Egypt.
They were paid by the museums in Europe.
Right?
And it was fucking lawless and crazy.
And these guys became famous.
They were archaeologists.
But really, I mean, you know, they knew a little bit about what they're doing.
But they were just figuring out how do we get this like 50,000 pound stone head?
Yeah.
And they would, they would like shoot each other.
And like they were really competitive.
Pretty cool.
Pretty cool.
Yeah.
Sounds dangerous.
The dirty genitals part bothers me.
Look, bring some outside of the.
Ball wipes with you. Outside of the 90s, we all have dirty genitals.
Like, I even feel like the 70s was dirty genitals.
I'm going to tell you, I'm going to take back my choice.
I'm going to the 60s.
The 60s?
Free love, hippie movement.
I'm good at talking my way into things.
I mean, dude, if you got a problem with dirty genitals, that's probably the absolute
worst time here.
I mean, people bathed quite openly, I believe.
Dude, they lived in grassy fields with big bushes.
I mean, if we're talking about genitals.
I'd like to go to the first woodstock.
You seem like a woodstock.
But you'd have to be there for five years.
We wouldn't have to be at Woodstock for five years.
You'd have to be in the 60s.
I would just fucking, you know, I'd go to San Francisco.
I would just try to hook up with a lot of hippie chicks.
Can you imagine San Francisco in the 60s?
Would have been incredible.
When you come back from your excursion, like, does any time, does the same time period
pass for your loved ones or do you just come back like a day later?
You come back a day later.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Yeah.
You just gain five years of life and experience.
Well, if you go back to the day later, or do you just come back to the day later later.
the 60s through time travel,
does that count as cheating on your wife
if you do something while you're there?
No, but turns out that your wife
is your mom.
Is your great-granddaughter.
Your great-granddaughter.
Understood.
Yeah.
So now your kids are mutants when you're-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Be careful, bro.
Kyle, where would you go?
What time?
Pirates.
Ah.
Yeah.
Kyle strikes me as a pirate.
Really?
Yeah.
Dude, he's from the Philippines.
Look at them.
It's true.
Yeah.
But I mean, I knew mom was Spanish.
But here's the thing that Kyle,
Kyle thinks that being a pirate
is the pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney.
Yeah, that's correct.
He thinks they're all just singing yoho, yoho, and drinking rum.
He's not picturing the scurvy.
That's a big part of it, though.
Well, I'd like to be in a port as a pirate, not on the seas.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
A pirate is like a sea faring like, oh, I live on a seas.
But when they come into the port, it's all cool, you're all hanging out.
You're just like a port pirate?
No, that's true. He's a port pirate.
He's a port pirate.
He hangs out.
He served booze. That's even lamer than me going back to the 90s, by the way.
Well, no, but Kyle, I know what he's picturing is he's in the Caribbean.
He's on this beautiful, like, Bahamian island where there's a town.
Yep.
And he's like the guy that you trade with.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Correct.
He's like hard to find.
Hard to find.
Yeah.
He lives a very, like, native life.
He's a pirate.
Everybody's a little bit scared of him because he's got power in that part of the.
Well, he's picturing himself with a dozen or so local wives.
Of course.
I was just going to say he would...
Disgusting, Kyle.
He would die of syphilis immediately.
He's such a man-horror.
I just think it's weird that you want pure perversion.
Oh, well, you know.
I mean, are you trying to have sex with clams?
He likes that.
Pirnichols.
All right.
Would you be...
Hang on real quick, Kyle.
Would you be...
John Mayer didn't exist yet.
Would you be okay with that?
Yeah.
Bubba gun time.
Your skin like porcelia.
I see a game here.
A miracle genius.
I see a new game.
Kyle, what is the new game?
Animal or IKEA.
Oh, that's here.
How do we play?
Just like any of these games,
there's a word on the screen,
I'm going to say it,
and you guys are going to tell me,
is this an animal or something that you would buy it at IKEA?
All right, but I'm going to take this one step further.
It's a great game.
I'm going to take this one step further.
You have to say what it is.
So you can't just say animal.
You have to say that is a goat from the Himalayas,
or where this gets more fun,
that is a couch.
convertible couch
Yeah
You have to name the furniture
First one
Neney
A Nene
That's an IKEA
It's a crib
He knows
I haven't been to IKEA
Since I was 23
And the Nenei is a crib
At IKEA
Pat's too good for IKEA
Go ahead
I want to put it together
Yeah
No I could never
You gotta make your wife do it
Just like we all do
A N-NA
This is N-E
N-E with accent marks
Over the E's
I mean like
Like, this is definitely a Swedish piece of furniture where it's like one of those chairs that is shaped almost like a wide banana.
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
You know, wide banana bird cage chair.
Yeah.
A nene is undeniably a small, colorful bird from the island of Hawaii.
Fuck off!
Wait, which one?
It's obviously the bird.
No, is it really?
I did not.
I swear, I guess that.
It is the Hawaiian state bird.
Okay, maybe I, maybe I deep down to do that.
It was stored, but I guess that.
I'll tell you why.
It's the double ease with the accents.
And I was like, that's just like, it's like a Hawaiian something.
If you're going to pretend that you didn't get fed the answers before,
you must not be so specific.
You're right.
That would have been smarter, but I, that was stored in the brain, not something I knew.
Number two.
He brought it from the subconscious.
I did.
All right.
Number two.
Torchus.
Oh, it's a Shea lounge.
Yeah.
So an outdoor chair for the swimming.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Obviously.
I also think this is an IKEA item.
Yeah.
I think it's a line of silverware.
The torcus line.
The torcus line.
It's very nice.
The thing that bothers me about Edwin is that...
All you have to do is guess the animal or the furniture.
And you go, the thing that bothers me about Edwin.
I wish that.
like Kyle took these and randomized them
because now I'm thinking about psychologically
would Edwin put an animal
and then another animal
and I know that he wouldn't
but I want to guess animal because it sounds like animal
to me. So I will go
this is a
Malaysian
tortoise, the torcus. Nice.
Smart.
Okay.
To a good and Samson.
That's a half point.
That's a half point.
He's been doing that.
Fair, fair.
For Peter.
Sorry, excuse me, for Patrick and Forrest.
Dude, I don't appreciate that.
Meaning it's furniture?
It's furniture.
What kind of furniture?
I don't appreciate you getting my hopes up like that.
It's a plastic laundry basket.
Dude.
Why did they have to name that?
They didn't.
They didn't.
The torquist line of laundering baskets.
The finest plastics.
I'm really upset.
Next is the calyx.
It's obviously a bassinet.
Baby, everything's baby.
That's the only furniture.
That's the only furniture names I know.
Calax is.
This is possible.
No, this is a love seat.
Yeah, it's a love seat.
Calix.
I like that.
I will say, no, this is definitely got to be an animal.
There's no way to go three in a row.
All I'm thinking about is Edwin's mind now.
The Calix is a, um, love seat.
Western European water buffalo.
Um, okay.
He keeps going to be.
I'm okay instead of using the buzzer.
Sorry, I missed, actually miss what you guys said.
He literally walked out in the middle of this.
Was he looking for a lunch?
I said, what's happening?
We got, uh, what did I say it was?
A bassinet.
A love seat.
A love seat and a Western European water buffalo.
Okay.
Well, who got to have a point?
Half points for Patrick and Forrest.
This is unbelievable.
It's a cubed shaped shelving unit.
I can't, I don't know that we deserve half points just by saying it's
this is fucking bullshit.
Dude, you know what?
Like,
Come on, stick with it.
The rules must be clearer,
you can't get a half point
just for getting the correct category.
I mean, I guess you can't.
But also,
who in their right mind
would put three furniture
in a row?
He didn't.
The first one was a bird.
That's what I fucking said.
Two furniture in a row.
All right, next.
Next is,
you go first, Peter.
Okay.
Mark Hor.
The Mark Horr is definitely an animal.
And it is the,
um,
Russian
Color
kangaroo.
A lot of Russian kangaroos.
I know Markor's an animal
and I know Forrest knows exactly what it is.
But I'm trying to remember
I think it's kind of like a deer-like thing.
I can't remember.
It's a goat.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Ding, ding, ding, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Bing ding.
Ding.
It is an animal.
A wild goat from Central Asia.
Central Asia.
It's the national.
animal of Pakistan. They're huge.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Really cool.
Mountainous? Mountainous? Yeah. Yep. Yep.
All right. Next. One point for forest.
One half point. I mean, I just knew that one going
in. That's a point. Yeah, it's okay.
All right, right. Right. Next. First one you faked. That got fed to you.
True. Next is. Edwin was texting me. Kivik.
Oh, God. This is, this is definitely a piece of furniture.
Yeah, it sounds very. You go then. You know.
It's an IKEA furniture piece. It's a small end table, not
unlike this one.
Oh, that's a good guess.
Wow, interesting.
I'm going to say that it is a,
it's a small desk lamp that might go on top of one of these.
Well, very nice, very nice.
It's undeniably a piece of IKEA furniture,
but the Kivik is well known to be a shoe storage rack.
Well known.
Well known.
Half points across board.
It is a piece of furniture.
It is actually.
Oh, the food's here.
Thank you. He actually came all the way up to the studio door this time.
Man just walked in our studio.
He was so confused.
Was the door open?
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, so this is a piece of furniture.
It's a comfy sofa.
A comfy sosa.
He did say soza.
Could we look at a picture?
I'd like to see a picture.
Yeah, I might purchase a kivik right now.
I'm sort of doubting that it's comfy.
I think I find that a little hard to believe.
I think Edwin is literally just making this up.
Well, I mean, this is a key.
This is a kivik. Does it have to come in C-foam green or are there other options?
What do you have to tell us, Pat? It does look pretty comfy. It does a cubs.
Looks like your standard sofa. Well, kind of wide pillows. It looks a little wide, more wide.
I'll tell you what, I don't like a sofa with a square edge like that because there's nowhere to lean your head nice.
Absolutely. When you're talking about the short arm square. Yeah, it's no good. My kid knocks his noggin on that when he's talking to somersaults.
All right, let's get a few more. I kind of like this. I also have not been to IKEA since I was
probably in my early 20s.
And my wife goes like twice a year.
I've never been to IKEA my entire life.
Really?
It's a nightmare.
It's an experience.
It's an experience.
Well, because they have a cafeteria there.
I feel like that you can get meatballs as you shop for furniture.
Makes no sense.
I feel like the people that are Swedish meatballs that enjoy going to Costco are the same
people that go to IKEA to shop.
False.
I love going to Costco.
I'll eat a whole meal while I'm walking around Costco.
I'll get like 14 free samples.
I'll go look at the booze prices
because you can get like a handle for like a buck 50.
How embarrassing?
I might buy a hammock.
Like that's what I love about Costco.
You went the other day just because we
hadn't eaten and it was right there
and we were like, let's just eat at the cafeteria.
Yeah.
Lovely, lovely slice of pizza by the way.
Two bucks.
Delicious.
They had a 95 inch flat screen TV for $1,300.
That's what I mean.
Almost bought it.
That didn't exist like six months ago.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
How embarrassing.
What interesting is it, though, when you go up for your fourth or fifth sample from the same vendor?
Nah, it's fine.
Not at all.
No, yeah.
The other ticket is, the other ticket is when six at a time.
If you're a lot, yeah, just take a lot at once.
Be like, oh, my whole family wants to try this.
They don't even care.
They don't even look at you.
No, no.
All right, let's get a couple more here.
All right.
Next is kudu.
This is an animal.
Yeah.
This is, I mean, I don't know what animal.
It's a, a kudu.
You know, it's a kudu.
It's like, it's one of those kudu's.
That's a bird.
It's an animal.
I'll get half a point.
I don't care.
The kudu is one of the featured animals in the arcade game, Buck Hunter.
It is.
That's true.
It's like a deer-like thing, I believe, in Africa.
Maybe not that different than a Gemsbach.
Yes.
I mean, he pretty much got it right.
It's an antelope.
Yeah.
Okay.
Peter gets a half point.
That's right.
One for Patrick's Forest.
Nice.
All right.
Next is Oakhari.
This is ridiculous.
Go ahead, Peter.
I mean, it can't be an animal.
No one would name an animal this.
It's like those shelves that you put up in your big walking closet.
It's a shoe shelf.
Okay.
Similar to this is a type of monkey.
It is a monkey.
Sounds of bitches.
Some of them are bald.
Let's do one more.
Because I don't know what this next one is.
Pick it, though.
Pick it.
You don't have to pick the next one.
Okay.
This one's 10.
points actually. Okay. Okay. All right. Fana loka.
Faniloka. Well, this has got to be a piece of IKEA furniture. I think so. It is,
why would they name it that? I don't know. That's really annoying. I'm going to say,
that's really pissing me. It's the least Scandinavian name too. Yeah. Wait, you guys know what it is?
No. No. Oh. Faniloka must be a giant piece of IKEA.
furniture, which is kind of like a giant fan, except it, it, uh, it comes down and it's got like
little hands that are holding a wavy, uh, cardboard box that keeps you cool in the summer.
You hang it like on your pergola outside.
You just, you just really jumped on the word fan there, huh?
Yeah, pergola.
So I, I did throw in pergola.
It doesn't sound Swedish to me.
So I think this is a Balinese-inspired sort of, uh, basket.
weavey chandelier type thing.
It's a chandelier, for sure.
Patrick, both of your thinking is the same as mine,
which is that it's definitely furniture,
but it's that furniture that Scandinavians,
where's, where's IKEA, Swiss?
Swedish.
It's Swedish people have been like,
this is a tropical word.
Yes.
So the faniloka, to me,
is, uh, it's, it's,
it's, it's a nice curtain,
like a flowy curtain.
So you get at IKEA.
It's not a bad guess.
Oh,
It's an animal?
It is an animal.
What is it?
What is it?
It is a mini civet from Madagascar.
What?
Never heard of such things.
Been there many times.
Going to have a new animal he wants on his list.
Oh my goodness.
It's a Malagasy civet.
That's not a faniloka.
This is shenanoga.
What?
This is shenanoloka.
Shananooka.
Fusa Fusana is very, very cool.
I do think that we should maybe start a piece of furniture that's just drapery called this, though.
Yeah.
By the way, that's a...
Look at that.
It's one of the cutest animals I've ever seen.
It's a picture of the Nashville Zoo.
A Faniloka baby
was born in the Nashville Zoo
and it's sitting next to a stuffed animal.
I want to kiss it on the mouth.
I would a French kiss it.
Whoa.
There are a lot of animals that I would like to French kiss.
Is that wrong to say?
You ever see like just an animal's tongue hanging out?
You kind of want to suck on it?
I don't want to suck on it, but I would kiss it on the tongue
if that makes sense. It's disgusting, but I would do it.
If you suck on it, it's animal.
You got a French kiss.
I will lift my dog's lips up and kiss his teeth sometimes.
It's a disgusting habit.
I don't know why I do it.
It's okay.
I mean, you guys,
he's healthy,
you're healthy.
Yeah,
but it's just like you're talking about like I just want to kiss his teeth.
I don't know.
It's disgusting.
I don't know why I do it.
It's so weird.
Real tooth guy,
aren't you?
Apparently.
Well, guys,
the food's here.
And as you know,
I'm pretty fat.
Chubby,
so I think we're going to have to wrap it up.
Okay.
You know what?
before we wrap up, before Peter even does the thing, guys, we've realized that YouTube has become
very difficult for people to actually get fed some of the content. I'm experiencing that on my
YouTube channel. We're experiencing that on the Wild Times YouTube channel, but there's a way
around it. If you go to the channel, click the little bell and turn on your notifications, you will
know every time a pod drops, and you can comment and do shenanigans and share it with your friends and,
you know, just fan a loco all over us. Absolutely. A faneloka, maybe. No, a bunch of people have said that
they thought we stopped doing the podcast.
It's insane.
Because they don't get,
it never goes to their feed.
And they're like,
I didn't realize you'd still been doing it for the last few months.
It's really,
it's upsetting.
It is.
Let me say, to say the least.
Better do the thing.
Also, dude, we do so many bonus pods.
We've got a whole library already.
I mean, between the public and the bonus pods,
there's over like 300.
I'm pretty sure.
Crazy.
So if you haven't seen them all,
go get caught up.
We still put out four a month on your iTunes.
You can get it on Spotify.
You can get it on Patreon.

No problems here.
Nice.

I really like this animal.
I do too.
I want one.
I can't wait to do a battle royal
where I get to use it.
Would you French kiss it?
Yes, I said I wanted to.
Feels like every product claims real protein these days.
But real doesn't start on a label.
It starts at the source.
Like real California milk from California farm families,
it's real dairy delivering high-quality, complete protein,
with all nine essential amino acids to help build muscle,
give you energy, and keep you satisfied longer.
So keep it real.
Look for the seal.
Real California milk.
