That was my turkey noise. It's good. It's Thanksgiving-ish. Welcome to the wild times. That's old news, Thanksgiving. It's true. It's Christmas time, baby. Welcome to the Wild Times.

This is the greatest podcast on the air. I'm your host, Forrest Glyanti, the broologist. Yeah. On my right, Papa P himself, the guy who never stopped shaking his leg. No. No, no, that's you, your PhD in podcast. And who cares? He's the guy.

He's the producer. He's the brofessor. That's it. We're done. Intros are over. Let's move on. No, come on. It's the holiday season, Pat.

You got decorations up? Of course. He's got them up since Halloween. Yeah, I did. I did put up one tree right after Halloween, but now I got the real tree. At first time ever had a service come and decorate the outside of the house. Oh, I like that. Oh, it's festive baby.

I like that a lot. How did that go? I was funny it weird when people are working around the house and I'm there and I am like, hey. They come, they look at it. They go, what do you think of this? Yeah. And they just like draw it and you go, looks good. And then they come back.

the next day and they put up lights. God, you're so rich. I want to be rich as you. Can I tell you a rich, boozy thing I just did? Sure. Yeah, I'm sure. Got a $1,200 toilet. What? Well, you're remodeling a bathroom. You had to get a toilet. Yeah. We had no toilet for like three weeks. Is this a fancy toilet? It's so fancy. You walk up to it. You can either tap it with your foot. Or you can look at it and it opens on its own. Wow. Got the bidet, a bunch of settings. Yuck. Blows air on your, on your took us. That's when you're done to dry it off. Oh, like drying.

Oh, there it is. It's the, uh, I don't know. Does it have that way? Wait, wait, wait, go down. Kyle, go down. Settle down. Nobody cares. Over to the left.

No, not the gold one. You lose. It's that. It doesn't even look like a toilet. You're never even home. You're never going to enjoy this thing. Listen, I took a nice ripe deuce in it this morning.

God, I bet it's stunk. First time I've tried it because it only got installed yesterday. It's a whole new experience. I'm never going to shower again. Is the seat warm? It's set to 94. Oh my goodness.

I'll tell you what. Why are you laughing, Kyle? It's nice. car, right? There's always that you don't want to, you know, you want to keep it nice, you want to keep it clean. Yeah. And then you kind of give that up after a certain point, like two days. Was taking the first deuce in there? Like, did you feel guilty? Uh, I didn't because it's got a self-cleaning feature. Wow. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot going on with this, this, this, I really hope my wife is not listening. She won't be ordering it right now to our

house. She should. As she should. My brother told me that he got one of those like tushy bidet things and that it's like the number one thing that's changed his life. Dude, I'm telling you. I try to use the bad day, and I'm like, I don't like, I don't. I was on your guys train for a long time. And then I went to Japan where everything gives you a little, and I was like, in three weeks in Japan, I was like, I don't need to shower once here. Japan is very clean. It's great that you can walk around Japan knowing that everybody's assholes, very sparkling clean.

This is a terrible podcast. Hey, Kyle, let me ask you a question. Yeah. What's in the news? There you go. A little slow. A little slow. A little slow.

Well, he was. A long weekend. He did crack his head open in Cabo, so we'll talk about that later. Hey, here's a headline. Scientists can't decide if resurrecting extinct species is real, or is it just a zebra? All right. What do we do with this messive news? Well, so we, this was always on our list.

We never did it for extinct or alive. Right. The Quagga. Right. I remember always looking at it going, is this the year? We'll get to do the quagga. I know. And there is a group called the Quagga Project that's been working on breeding zebra

back into losing its butt stripes for many generations now. And they've succeeded. So hence where this news is coming from, it's like, did we just bring an animal back from extinction? Or did we just breed a dog version of a zebra? You know what I mean? Where we just selectively bred for a zebra without a stripes.

That's all it is. That's literally all it is. Give me a little, what do you know about Quagga? Yeah, yeah. Tell me because I know nothing. Sure. So Quaga was,

so there's your regular zebra in Southern Africa, right? Plain Zebra. they stretch all the way up north. In 1987, the Quagga Project was born, which was a project that was aimed at bringing back this extinct subspecies of zebra. Now, the subspecies of zebra, being known as the Quagga,

lived only like in the Cape Town around the Cape of South Africa. And what made it unique was its distinct lack of stripes around its Tuckus. And that's it. This is a Tuckus-y podcast. Yeah, we're talking. I wonder if he used a bidet these quagas. It's a real bum-forward pod. But yeah, so it, this literally outside of just being a normal zebra, there is very little, I believe, like DNA discrepancy, nothing.

It was basically just a zebra that had this unique look to it. Yeah. But they lived, you know, they were in isolation so they didn't crossbreed with other zebra, blah, blah, blah. So they developed this lack of striping in their hindquarters. They got driven to extinction when, Kyle, see if you can find it in this article here. Sometime, you know, when 1883. 1883 long time ago, right? Are they hanging out with zebras?

No, they were totally... They were isolated. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. That's what you're saying. Yeah. The location of them. The animal question is a quagga. Remember the horse family roamed Africa's great plains before being hunted to extinction. The last one a mayor died in the

Amsterdam Zoo, of course, in 1883. So, you know, it's been a long time since it's been brought back. So in the 80s, 1980s, this Quagga project came about saying let's breed them back. So they basically succeeded now. Like if you go to Kyle, maybe go to the Quagga Project's website,

they have a ton of them. They have like a whole herd and they're reproducing more and more quagga, which are zebras without this stripy bum. Right. And so this is it. They've succeeded. Like look there, 1987 when they started to 2022. Like they've made a quagga, right? Yeah. Which is pretty awesome. And I always wanted, Patrick and I always wanted to do it as a feature. But it would basically be retelling the story of the selective breeding. Right. Like how do you make that? I feel like it's the least entertaining, like de-extinction find. So wait, leave that up for a second, Kyle. Now just pull up a regular plain zebra because if you look at...

I mean, they do look different and they do look cool. They do, they do, indeed. So look at a regular zebra here, right? Look at its bum. Look at the striping down the hindquarters. Now go back to the Quago website. So look at the animal, the founder population that they selected from in Atosha in 1987.

See, they already had this limited fading on their rump. And so they just selectively bred and selectively bred until they brought back the quagga. It's really cool. It's really interesting. The question and the headline is like, is this a de-extinction. Right, right. Which is a gray area. It really is.

Like, I don't know the answer. What do you think? No. I mean, it is because you've brought back something. It doesn't have, it's the same thing. We've talked about this before. If you grab Sumatran tigers and put them in Java, you've done the same thing.

Right. You've brought Java tigers back. Yes, over tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, they diverged evolutionarily. they became slightly different. But if you go ahead and grab a bunch of Sumatran tigers and put them in Java, they're going to fill the same role ecologically. They're going to fill the same niches.

They're going to perform the same services. And in a few hundred thousand years, assuming we don't wipe everything off the planet by then, they will once again be Java and tigers. Okay. That is less impactful than, say, colossal bringing back a thylacine, right? Which is like nothing you could breed together is going to bring back something to fill this ecological niche.

So it's a good thing because it's filling it. niche that that's needed right not needed the quagga why is it needed it's not needed well what if we want to hunt them to extinction again that's where we needed yeah maybe teddy roosevelt wants to blast one's head off ah back from the gray and you could here's the thing you could go and get regular zebra and let them go in that same area and they do the same thing as the quagga did they're not specialized right i mean they just look different but now you're bringing the now you're now you're bordering on species introduction right because it's different you know what I mean, it's not the same. So now they've successfully bred something back that is the same.

Either way, it's cool, it's interesting. I get it. I think it's the right thing to do. I don't know that it's a necessity. Does that make sense? No, they're very passionate about it. They made a whole organization for it, and they've been doing it for 40 years. Yeah, exactly. Cool. Right, so, final verdict. Is the Quagga back from extinction? Yes or no? One vote for yes. I say yes. Technically, it is back. I don't think so. Two to one. Two to one. That's going to be a lot. That's going to be on safari. I think the dog comparison's right. Like,

right. Is this just making a pug? Sort of. Yeah. It is. We've given them a squished up face. Speaking of squished up faces, you know,

Kyle, you got a squished up face when you were out in Cabo, didn't you? You cracked your head open and we didn't hear the actual story. What happened? I did.

I'd just squish your face. So long story made pretty short. Very short, please. Yeah. Right after the ceremony and the dance party and whatnot.

Everyone decided to head to the pool and jumped in suits on. And I did a gainer and the pool was three feet deep. And I cracked my head on the bottom of the pool. Classic. Split right down the middle. Let me see. You got stitches? Oh, my God.

What was your blood alcohol content? Hi. I called Kyle. I called Kyle yesterday morning and I was like, he picks up. He's like, hello. Yeah. And I was like, are you? He's like, I just woke up.

Yo. On the beach. Swear to God. He slept on the beach last night. This was yesterday? Two nights ago. That's fantastic, dude. Whose wedding was this?

One of my best friends from high school. Nobody cares about that. I want to know. Well, well, because what if it was like his brothers and he had to give another speech? I did give a speech, yeah.

Oh, let's hear it. How was it? The documents already got. Did you go off the cuff or did you follow us up? No, I had to follow us. Was there any tears shed or claps? Claps.

Wow. It was like one guy at the end. Yeah, pretty much. Did you joke? Did you make jokes? Make some jokes. Yep. You did me the best joke and then we'll get off this topic.

He used to wear fake diamond earrings in high school. That's good. Had a chin strap beard. We all did. Terrible. By choice, this one. Yeah. That's pretty good, to be honest.

It's a pretty good joke. Yeah. My choice is a good ad there. Yeah. Yeah, just fun stuff. Good time. So I hope your head heals up. It looks like you shaved it into a penis also.

So that's good. No cameras back there, though. All right. I saw something that came across my it's actually mother of pearl my desk is made out. We're back to the desk materials. It's been a minute. We always, you know, it doesn't happen that often,

but we have to talk about it. Sitka. Have you been to Sitka Island? I have. Did somebody get stuck in a crack? I've been to Sitka, Alaska. Is that an island? I didn't even know that was an island. I think Sitka's an island, isn't it?

I don't think so. Is it? God, we're so bad at geography. Oh, it's like a peninsula. Yeah. All right. Somebody will correct. I'm driven there from Anchorage. It's beautiful.

What'd you do? You look out at the little fishing harbor, you know, and then we went and had some boiled shrimp and crab. It was delightful. I think I fished in Sitka, too. Did you see any bear? No, not one. Why per tell? Well, I mean, there's a lot of Alaskan brown bears there. Indeed. It's a very popular place for bear hunting. Okay.

But sadly, a man who was deer hunting was mauled fatally by a brown bear. Oh, boy. Wow. On Halloween, believe it or not. Oh, geez. Yeah. It's been a minute since there's been a brown bear killing, right? I feel like they're not as common as people think.

Like, it's maybe once or twice a year. Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of times when you read about it, it's someone, and I don't know in this story if he'd already gotten a deer, but a lot of times it's when you're field dressing your deer after you've got the deer, the smell, the bear comes in, goes, what the fuck is that? And then malls you, not because it's being mean. That's, that's, for any reason.

That's interesting. though because like you'd think that's that's probably when you're the most comfortable like you've now made the kill the hunts over. Yeah the hunts over you're over there and now you're like chilling you know but that's when you need to be the most alert oh he had yep he'd gotten his deer

so yeah that that's when it happens a lot is is you're you got the deer you're trying to get your meat and get the fuck out of there. So they're basically coming competing for the food with you they're just like fuck fuck off I'm gonna take this food from you in this case multiple bears came

in. Wow. Also, if a bear wants a deer, give him the deer. I'm sure this guy didn't have the choice. Otherwise, he would have made that choice. But, you know, if a bear's coming in saying, give me that deer, like feeling territorial or defensive over something at all, anything, give him the deer. Of course. There's this 1,500 pound bear. I was fishing in Cold Bay, Alaska, fly fishing in one of the rivers up there. And I hooked into this beautiful king salmon. And it ran from, we were fishing like right at the mouth of the It ran from where I hooked it out into the ocean. And so I started fighting in the river and landed it on the beach.

But where I went to land it, down came a bear. This is like 10 years ago. Probably biggest king salmon I've ever caught. Easily 40 pounds. The bear got the salmon. Yeah. Not going to contend with it. It's all yours, buddy.

It was awesome to see. I didn't have any cameras, anything. But this bear just came waltzing out of the woods, came down, took salmon and walked off with it. Thanks. I was like, it's all yours, bud. I'm not going to fight you for that. Kyle, there's this whole. hilariously viral video that I keep seeing on Instagram where this this person on a bike in the

woods is just getting just chased by a bear and going so fast, right? And the bear is just like, right is like behind him not losing any ground. Bears can go what? Like 40? I mean, it's insane how fast this is this. Oh, this is such bullshit. Is this the one in Russia? Uh, I don't know. I'm not sure. Let's take a look here. Oh, no. This one might not be as bullshit. But so somebody, somebody took this and put POV, your headphones are still in and the bear's chasing you and it's like, I'm like a bird

while you're like terrifyingly running away from the bear. You don't have time to change. But this is interesting at the end of this one, I think. If we keep watching, if you want to go, it's just chasing him, chasing me. He looks back a few times.

Yeah, he hops off the bike. So the bike is now down on the ground or he might have the bike, but he runs to the side and now you can see the bear. He turns and looks at the bear. Wait for it. the bear, where's the bear?

There he is. He comes over. And he's just like, looking around. And the bear just, he just fooled him because he's hiding behind a skinny tree. I think this is shenanigans. And I'll tell you why. We should break this down for a second. So X out of this, Kyle, there's one where a guy's running with his dog and a bear is chasing him. See if you can find that.

And it's, it's clearly a pet bear. Like, okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen this? I'm almost certain it's like the same bit of woods. And so I think it's this guy with a pet bear in Russia. You're getting really good at GeoFinder. Yeah, right?

But I'm pretty sure it's this guy with a pet bear in Russia who's just doing shenanigans and it's blowing up on the internet, you know, like one every 10 videos. Well, he's a genius then. It's definitely not that. That's hilarious. Running by a Kia dealer. In front of the Keog dealership. I don't know how to find it, whatever. Well, there was also the one where the guy was skiing.

Remember that? Maybe just chases the dog. Yeah, I've seen the one with the skiing as well. Is that one legit? No, I think it was the same thing. I think it was, we suspect that it was his pet. Forrest. Have you, have you ever been chased by a big animal that could kill you?

Oh, of course, yeah. What's the most like either terrifying or crazy one you've had? Well, with a bear, there's just nothing you can do. So if you kind of outrun it, you're fucked. You know, there's the whole like, what is it if it's black, play dead, or what's, what's saying? Black, no, black bear, if it's attack, you're supposed to fight back. If it's brown, lay down. Yeah, that's the.

If it's white, you're dead. Yeah. It's all bullshit, though. I mean, the thing is, like, if you turn... This is fake. Yeah, we've talked about this before, but if you turn and run and act like prey, they're going to treat you like prey. Can you get away from a bear by climbing a tree?

No, absolutely not. What about going in water? Nope. What about kicking it right in the face? Nope. None of the above will work. I'm going to just stay away from bears then. That's the best option, yeah.

No, everything I've been chased by, like, I've been mock charged by elephants and had, like, lions show off and stuff. You've got to hold your ground and show them you're not a bitch, basically. But didn't you run from the hippo? Yes, I did. There was no holding my ground for that. He would have smushed me. So over the weekend, I was shooting at Extreme Wildlife Foundation.

They've got a ton of incredible big cats there. They've got clouded leopards. They've got Carpathian lynxes. They've got bobcats, servils.

Run your game. Yeah. Oh, dude, by the way, so we talked about this on the bonus pod and we don't have to talk about for a long time, but a lot of people have been asking because you talked about going to Alaska to see the polar bear. just a quick. I thought it was Alaska. Canada. God, I just, I am so old.

Not to mention we've talked about it extensively. But we haven't talked about it on any public pod because many people have asked. Are you sure? I swear to God. I keep telling them, dude, we talk about so much stuff, we don't like to repeat it. But anyways, Forrest, just how was it? What happened? It was cool.

We went with Churchill Wilde. We flew into Churchill, Canada, and then went up to this private lodge in the middle of nowhere. We were in an area the size of the state of California that was uninhabited. No people were the only lodge in the state of California. It was amazing on the Arctic tundra. Yeah. And, you know, warm out. I think I mentioned this.

Yeah, it was 86 degrees when we landed in the Arctic. And so the bears were just like, so it wasn't quite what I had envisioned with the whole walking on ice with polar bears roaming around bopping seals on the head. It was just like a bunch of hot bears lying in the tundra. But it was cool. It was cool. We're working on putting a video together from it.

Mitch shot at all. Nice. It was beautiful. I mean, and the accommodations and the stay and everything were awesome. Cool. But you got, you crossed it off your bucket list. You got to see the polar bears. No.

I knew it. I crossed it off my bucket list. Yes, I got to see the polar bears. I didn't. I don't feel fulfilled as though I did something with polar bears. Does that make sense? Yeah, it's like the Quagga thing. It's the same thing.

It's technically you've done it. However, was it worth it? Well, I guess here. So, okay, let's say seeing a polar bear at the zoo is a one. Right. hiking through Siberia and having multiple close encounters with polar bears a 10. Yeah. What was this closer to a...

This was a six. Okay. They were in the wild. I saw them. I saw the Cubs. I saw playing. I saw feeding. But I didn't get to dart one and lift it with a helicopter and put a collar on it.

And you know what I mean? All the things I like to do. So, you know, got a little got a little good. I left some room for improvement. Let's put it that way. Dude. So we were, when I was filming the show that we did in Greenland, we added this new cast member for season three.

And there was the farthest north we'd been. And it was the first time that we were in potential polar bear territory. Okay. And so obviously as a producer, I'm like, that's a good thing to be aware of. It's a good story, right? That we're in polar bear territory. You've got to be careful. Be aware.

And so I know that he had multiple encounters because he had, you know, he'd hiked across Siberia and stuff. And I was like, hey, so, you know, interviewing him for the show. I'm like, tell me the story of like the closest polar bear encounter you've had. and he's a total California guy. And he goes, yeah, he's like, so I was sleeping in my tent in Siberia. I had to take a shit. And so I got my tent and just stuck my ass out of my tent and just taking a shit.

And I just turned around. There's a polar bear staring at me while I'm taking a fucking shit. Who's in the zoo now, man? I'm just like, thanks for the story, pal. I'm going to dogleg us dramatically here for a second. It's the best part of the pod. One of my favorite things that Patrick does is when he, explains an ex-girlfriend who he won't names friends that she grew up with from Newport Beach.

Can you do your California? I mean, you pretty much just did it, but can you just set it to the stage? I think it was just her group of friends. Yeah, from Newport Beach. From Pallis Verdes. From PV, my beat. And the guys all had just loose jaws. Slack jaw.

I love what he does this. Please say more. Ask me a question. I'll be one of them. Hey, Patrick, what were the, what were the waves like today? Oh, for sure. I mean, for sure. totally.

What'd you do this weekend? Oh, dude, it fucking hammered for sure. It was just like the jaws weren't tight enough. The mouth never closes. Yeah, never fully closed. I liked a lot of them, by the way. But everything was after, ah, for sure. Dude, he would call me after a hangout with them,

and he'd be in that voice for like eight minutes on the phone. You caught it. Yeah, he caught the voice. No, he would do it intentionally because he'd know that it was so irritating. And the best part about it was his ex-girlfriend, who we won't name, sitting next to him in the car while they were driving home. Just getting furious. What are you doing?

What? Who are you talking to? Everything was for sure. For sure, man. Totally dudelike, man. Well, you ever get stuck in a situation where you have to go with your significant others group of friends for like an overnight?

Fortunately, I've managed to avoid that so far. Yeah. We're like conversations not particularly easy or fulfilling. No. Yeah. It's rough. It is rough.

It's rough. I can't get out of it. And the only thing. you can do is just drink. And there's dead space. There's like dead space between conversation. You're like, okay. Oh, God.

And then you just leave it. You don't know what else to say. Also, these people were 10 years younger than me. Oh, God. So it's just like everything is like, yeah, don't be 35 and hang out with a bunch of 25. It's part of what you're not supposed to do. It's really hard, I find just going out and being in any social situation without drinking. It's impossible.

That's why it was invented. I'm pretty sure. We had a little slumber party that we had. You did? Yeah, you were out of town. Missed out. Yeah. Same more.

Well, it was great. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Pat. Who stayed at whose house? So, how much swimming did you guys do with the other couple? Well, Pat, Pat actually did show us his pool. The concrete had just gotten filled and he was watering it furiously. Yep.

And seasoning it. I was, literally, I was thinking to myself, Jesus Christ, we've turned into Hank Hill. Like, we're standing outside with our drinks and he's like, yep, pools got filled in. He's like, got to water it. And we're like, wow, that's really interesting. interesting. And like 10 years out of me, like, what the fuck are we doing? I got to just go back into your house and take shots. Well, we wanted to, we wanted to do a hang. We used to do a thing called the four horsemen's dinner. Yeah. And it was me, Peter, Justin, who was a producer on Extincter

alive. Yep. And another guy named Ethan who moved back to Boston. Yeah. I've heard many stories of Ethan. So we would do the four horsemen's dinner, which was like a Christmas event. Uh-huh. And go to dinner and we'd exchange gifts. Yep. But, uh, bird whistle. But this year we just did the three Horseman. And it was me, Peter and Justin at my house. Nice. Justin came over wearing full Christmas PJs. Of course he did. We built it. He's also 11 feet tall for anyone listening to this. So that man in Christmas pajamas is basically like a scene out of elf. We had some glue wine. Oh. Yeah. Blue wine. It's a German, he has a German wife. So he brought over some glue wine, which is warm. Is that a warm wine? It's red wine that has like some sugar in it and some some spices. Makes the whole house smell Christmas.

It's basically mauled wine. I'm getting like a little bit upset. about that I missed out on this. We're doing it. We're doing our party. You were out of town. I would know. I understand, but sounds lovely.

Because we need a fourth horseman. Of course. Yeah. And we built a couch fort. Dude, this is incredible. We built a couch fort. And,

uh, no, but so like me and just, I just want to point out one second before you explain this. Literally the last thing out of Patrick's mouth was don't be 35 and hang out with a bunch of 25 year olds. The next thing he said was we built a couch fort. You sure it.

There's certain things, though, that you can do as an adult that really make it nice. And me and Justin were yammering. We're tipsy. We're scarfing down food. Sure. And like we turn around and Pat's just making a couch fort. Like what's going on here?

And then he's like making a couch fort. And then, yeah. And then we hung out, ate, drank and then climbed into the couch fort. And watched Bad Santa. First of all, first of all, I'm still standing over by the counter. And he's on one side of the couch fort. And Justin's on the other. These are big, you know, I mean, well, Pat's meager, but Justin's a big man and there's not too much room and there's

just this middle area. And I look and I'm like, what are you kidding me? Like we're 40 plus. There's plenty of room. And I'm going to lay in between you. And so what'd you do? I literally, I filled my wind up and I laid right down. We popped bad Santon and watched the entire movie and it was like the best night in my life. It was great. It was great. And then we were kind of falling asleep towards the end. A little snores. It was probably like 10.15 at this time. We went late. We went to like after one.

Oh, nice. I got home and I stepped on the rest of the absence that I had in the freezer. Stayed up until like 2.30. Next day I had committed. And so the next day I was like tomorrow, I really built myself up. I'm like, tomorrow you're absolutely fucked. Just accept it and be okay with it. Send it.

And then the next day, I was like, I was just calmer because I had accepted the fact that I'm going to feel like shit all day. Yeah, that's the way to do it. Anyways, it was lovely. A true little joy. Does that sound a little suspect to you that we all laid together in a couch for? That part's questionable, but I mean, it's not suspect because I know that you guys boinked afterwards. Yeah, exactly. It was more of a circle jerk, but yeah.

No, it was nice. It was nice. Forrest, you had a little Christmas surprise. I saw you posted it on your Instagram. I mean, you literally posted a video of your giant herpes in your mouth. Yeah, yeah. What about with that? Well, I went to Tijuana for a weekend.

Okay. And there's a lovely place there called Hong Kong, known as a whorehouse, a whorehouse. Instant herpes. Okay. No. Do you know what? Did you hear what happened or not? No, I saw it and had to turn it off immediately.

So you don't know what happened? No. Okay. Do you know what happened? I don't even know what you're talking about? Kyle, do you know what? Well, you see the herp, right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. What is that? Kyle, do you know what happened? No idea. Okay. Nobody follows you on Instagram. That's fine. No, I like this.

That's fine. Yes. Take one guess as to what happened to my lip. Rugby. Good guess. Petter? You got bit by a big cat. No.

I think you did something with like a little lizard that clamped on your lip. These are all very fair and good guesses. I got headbutt. Oh. Kyle, I just sent you a clip. Roll the clip. Take a look what happened here. Oh, boy, here we go.

Let's go. Everybody avert your eyes. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, dude. That's gnarly, dude. Oh, is that a wallaby? It's an all white red kangaroo. He's hopping around like a loon.

I crouched down to say it. Oh, he got you, dude. Right, the face. Right. The kisser. Hard. You recovered quickly, but... I was trying to play it cool, but it fucking hurt, dude.

Oh, no. That's like a... Yeah. That was a solid. You're bleeding instantly. Instantly. And look at the speed he's hopping around leading up to this. Like, he's moving quick.

He inside, go to the other video, Kyle. The inside of the lip is what really... Oh, man. The inside's brutal. This is like six hours later. Oh, God. Who to thunk that working with animals would be more dangerous than going to my alumni rugby game. I was supposed to be playing a rugby game, and I was like, no, this is safer.

I'll do this. Look at that. Yeah. He full. There you go. It's so good. Full jump right at the beginning of his jump, and he just bashes his skull. He nearly knocked me out, I swear.

Dude, it's every time you watch. It's so fun to watch. Yeah. Hang on. Can you kind of frame by frame it, Kyle? So for those watching it, home. Give us a play by play here, Pat. Oh, look at his face. So Forrest is in a crouching position, presumably about to talk to this kangaroo's owner or caretaker, and he just

plants his skull directly into your lip at full blast. This frame right here looks like you're about to give him a kiss. It looks like I was making out with him. And then there's, oh, you literally almost go down to the ground. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's great. He got me. I mean, that could have been a concussion. I mean, that's the same as if that dude just wound up and gave you a right hook to the lip. Well, this is what I've wanted to do to you since the day I met you. It's been probably six or... That's a great framework, Kyle.

If you're only listening, you've got to see this. It's been six or seven years since I've taken a straight fist to the face. Yeah. This was much worse. That kangaroo's head was like rockish. I don't know how else to put it. So were you filming for your YouTube channel or for a TV show here? For YouTube.

Yeah. So we went to these plays these plays, these people are amazing, by the way. They have this incredible, like you can see the level of the facility called Extreme Wildlife Foundation, and we went to meet some of their animals. They're all really friendly.

This one was a little bit too friendly. You got just a lot of energy. He just had a lot of energy. Yeah, he felt trapped. You don't see this in the video, and I'll be glad to throw them under the bus. It's Mitch's fault. The kangaroo was doing these circles,

and then Mitch walked in and crouched down as he was hopping up. So the kangaroo changed, like, diverted, you know, to, like, not get, to not like he couldn't finish his lap so where Mitch crouched down the kangaroo had to now move and then he felt trapped because he turned and he was stuck between me and Mitch and then he was just like fuck you

that's good to the lip yeah this is why you fire Mitch I've been saying this for many years stop working with it it's funny because I saw you were doing this alligator thing I don't know what it was but Mitch is I mean he's had the same pair of pants it's insane for like seven or eight years if I'm lying or dying I'm

I made the same exact joke to him this past trip. Oh, really? He walked out in his mustard yellow pants. Yeah, their baby diarrhea yellow pants. And I was like, who has these one pair of pants for this much time in your life? So I have the same pants, but they're a rotation of five pairs of outdoor pants. As a normal person should. Mitch is always wearing these diarrhea pants.

I was going to, if you're going to have just one pair of pants, they need to be like a standard jeans. So nobody knows that you're wearing the same ones every single day. So wait, what are you guys? guys doing here submerged waist deep in mud with an alligator? These are the questions. First of all, never again will I do a show with Chris Gillette? Why? He's a delight. He's the nicest person to be around. He has a six-pack abs. He's about 4% body fat and he's six foot eight. Yeah, yeah. So me standing next to him is awful. Every frame I looked at, I was like, well, I look, I look like a little person. Put some lips in your shoes next thing. Clinically, clinically obese compared to him. So never again will I do that.

That's a great pick. What are you guys doing there? So I can't talk about it too much. It is a discovery show that's coming up. I'll say that. But I will say this. Go back to the last photo. Notice anything interesting about the sides of this swamp? They're green.

Oh, and black. And vertical. Yeah, you can't get out. You call me Donald Trump because I drained the swamps. I drained the swamps. What are you doing there? Great impression. Thanks.

That was the best I could do. You should probably lose that. No, there was an animal. stuck inside of this facility that you're seeing. You can see that's not natural, right? That's not organic those sides. Yeah. This is an abandoned pool.

That's, I'll say that. Oh, wow. And we spent all day trying to catch it, couldn't do it. Went to the store, picked up three trash pumps, the kind that they used to drain like a basement. You know about this. Yeah. Pat's basement. Some pump.

Some pump. Yeah. Drain. Drain the swamp. It's getting better and better. I'm not going to give it up. Kyle is cringing. I'm not going to give it up.

I don't care. Bleep it out. And, uh, don't, don't, do it. And yeah, drain the swamp and caught this little cheeky girl right there who was who's terrorizing this pool. Can you go back to that other picture? I want to see the girl again. How big? Like five feet? No, she was six, six seven, I believe. Six, eight, something like that. Yeah, we measured her, but it's been a few weeks. But yeah. Well, I mean, if you can, describe how you ended up catching her. Like, you just tackle her? Well, so we got to the point in draining that swamp that

you see there where the bottom was just muck and the trash pumps couldn't clear it out anymore. So I had this great idea. I was like, look, this is an old pool. We can drain it. We'll clean it. It'll be nice. She'll just be like wiggling around in the bottom. It worked. It took us 10 hours to drain that thing with three, three inch trash pumps. It was a lot of water. Yeah. And this is all from the hurricanes. You know, the hurricanes I went through recently. Yeah, yeah. So we drained this thing, but it got down to go to go to the next photo cow. It got down to, nah, not that one in the pool. six inches? No, look, I mean, I'm nearly waist deep.

Wow, yeah. And that's in the deep end. So we had to wade around. It's like that fucking scene out of Star Wars where he's like, I got a bad feeling about this in the trash. Because we're just wading around with a pissed off alligator in literal waist deep sludge. Yeah. And the trash pup couldn't do it anymore.

They all three of them kicked the bucket. And so we just had to wait around until we bumped into the skater. And then Chris and I had to work together to catch it and wrangle it. I won't give away how. It was very scary. And I wouldn't say a narrow miss, but it was, it was not great. Good times, man. Bumping into gators in muck that are pissed off.

That you can't see, by the way. Also, we didn't know if this thing was six feet or two feet or 11 feet. So you guys had any twice, like thrash. Oh, really? And that's it. So we're just like in there poking around with sticks. That's wild. Yeah, it was gnarly.

Who's the skinny camera guy? JQ. Uh, okay. Yeah. Uh, force, a lot of, a lot of people, a lot of people. That's my Trump impression. How many? Many people want to see me and you and Patrick if you can make time.

But they want me to go on one of these ridiculous things with you. And you've been doing a lot of them now. So tell me, would if you're in that situation, I was like, all right, listen, Pedy. Hold the boom. I'm calling you Pedy in these scenarios. Yeah. Listen, Pedy. We're getting into the muck puddle.

No, do it. And we're going to walk around until somebody bumps into an alligator. If you bump into its face, it's going to break your leg. I would do it. Okay. I would do it. Okay. The reason that I bring it up is because, like, you've been doing a whole lot more content for your YouTube channel, and some of it's, like, relatively local. I feel like we could actually make it happen now. Kyle. Yes. What do we take? What do we take PD on coming up? We got a lot of, we got quite a few things. What do we take PD on? Is there anything localish? Not like super local, but like localish? No. Damn it. Islands. Channel Islands. That's localish. You were going to do that as your own camping trip. I know.

And my buddy punctured his lung and broke three ribs And we couldn't go anymore Actually? Yeah How did that happen? Mountain biking Oh

Yeah And then And then Sounds like the more fun of the two of you Well, he's single He doesn't have any kids Yeah Who's this Joe?

Yeah Joe And then shortly after Get this right So this guy I'm like bro Like take it easy man You're like You're getting up there

You're almost 40 He's like yeah I know And I'm telling you Like within three weeks He's out there Getting a nose job I'm like the doctors let you get Wait for fun? No, he's

He fucked up his nose in the bike accident He couldn't breathe. No, no, no, it's totally separate thing Okay, but Grown up shit, he had his deductible, blah, blah, blah. But I could not believe that literally within three weeks, the doctors were like, yeah, go have the septum surgery, you still get a hole in your lung, you still have three broken ribs,

like who goes and wants to be in that much misery? A nose job fucking hurts like a mofo, dude. Yeah, I need one. I'm supposed to get it. I have to have the septum surgery. Dude, you're going to sound like a different person. Instead of talking like this, like you normally do. Really, the guy who does Shark Week, VO. Yeah, but you really have to try for that.

You're like, no, next time on Shark Week. It's pretty spicy, though. Is that how I sound when I do it? Let's hear it. Let's hear it, for real. The Hammerhead Shark. It's pretty good, dude. It's so silky. Yeah, it's salty.

Speaking of Shark Week, check this out. My buddy's Garrick and I forget who he was with, but they went out to Santa Rosa. Island, speaking on the Channel Islands. He looks like a Garrick. No, Garrick's even worse. Go back up, Kyle. Go back up. Click on Joe's profile picture. This was out at the island. So they're like loading up the boat. Crystal clear water. Look at that white shark. Where they were lobster diving. Wow. So literally they just gotten out of the water. Go to the next picture with this, with that bucket of bugs. And they look down and that thing swimming around under the boat.

So this is a crystal clear water. Huge. What is that? Like 12 feet? That one's smaller. I'd say it's nice. or 10, but they also saw an 18 that day in the same spot. Really? Wow, dude. So that's a spot. I won't say it because I don't want to give away one of our good spots, but that's a spot that I've, me, my buddy Garrick, this guy, Joe, a bunch of us have been diving for years to get really nice lobster out of. That's a sweet nipple. Okay, sorry, go ahead.

And everybody says it's really sharky and I'm always like, ah, shut up, it's fine. They saw two sharks that day. So is that where you're taking me? It's the clearest I've ever seen the water. That's why. I think those sharks are all over that spot. It's just the water's not usually like that. So because it's easier for them to hunt and clear water? Or what do you mean? No, it's sea conditions.

Some days it's murky. Oh, I got you. That's why the sharks are always there. I got the sharks are always there. We've just never known to see them there because we're, you know, they either ignore us or whatever, we don't bump into them. But that's the clearest I've ever seen the water. So this guy, Joe is one of your buddies?

I know him through Garrick. I don't know him well. Is he a Santa Barbara guy? Yeah, he's a bra bra. Is he smashing? Yeah, he does well. What does that mean? He's pretty hunky.

Yeah. He's a dream. he's got Graber beat Yeah for the old for the old brusters from the beginning they know who Graber is

Hey I like the game where we guess the animal based on their native name Kyle Give us a jingle Kyle's getting a lot of fanfare For his pronunciations

By the way in the comments Can we just take He's so smug right now too It's because he slept on a beach two nights ago Well I haven't shaved his head Did you sleep here last night? Cracked his head open

Did you sleep here last night? Yeah He doesn't have any shoes on can't tell. I didn't notice. Let's, before we do this, a lot of Brosner's don't know this. M.K. makes our jingles. It's been an OG Brossner. He makes them

off of us making silly sounds. Can we each just spend three seconds making a silly sound for guess the animal based on their native name? Yeah, sure. Lead us off. Guess the animal based on their native name.

Okay. I'm going to get some of these, I think. Let's go. Wow. All right. So, Kyle, how does this work? There's a very strange word on the screen here that I'm going to attempt to read. That's an animal in a different language. None of us know.

And we're going to use context clues. Right. Correct. And we're going to guess what the animal is and where it's from. I need a magic mind for this. I'm doing it. Dude, that's going to sharpen you right. That's an unfair advantage.

That's not fair. I've not had any caffeine. So I'm not spruce. Cheers to the magic mind, baby. Okay. Kyle, go. All right. Number one.

Akbaba. I got this one. Go ahead. It's an albacortuna in native Alaskan. Okay. See that? He has a magic mine. He goes, fires off.

It's Akbarba with a K. Akbaba. Actually, that might be Middle Eastern. Yeah. Okay, go ahead for us. I am going to go Middle Eastern. What's a language from the...

Actually, yes. Moroccan chicken. Yeah, that's so good. Oh, shat. Down. Okay. This is Vulture in Turkish. Oh, you guys?

Turkey. In the right general vicinity. You got Turkey, got Vulture. No one was getting that. This translates to white father or white dad. Okay. Ah, Baba. Baba. Baba's father.

Baba. Yeah, we should have picked that up. Wouldn't it helped with a vulture? No, I wouldn't have gotten it. What's next? All right. Next is Skath. No.

Start again. Sheethan. Sheethan Leather. It's so far off of what I would have said. Glacian. I would have said, Sayathan, Lither. Yep. In that accent.

So that accent was, I don't have, I was just trying to say the word. Seathan Lefair. Who knows? Okay. So it's got that accent mark over the A there, which makes me think. that it's Nordic. Yep. So I'm going

Nordic country here. I'm going to go with this is the Icelandic short-haired water buffalo. Indeed. Great.

I'm going to go Norwegian for what's the big sea bird that flies Seagull? Elbatross.

Thank you. Greater Elbatross. Norwegian Elbatross. Yeah. Fascinating. It's two words. So what are you thinking, Pat? I'm going to say Scandinavian.

I'm going to say it's a Norwegian wolf. Let there. Fuck. This is Irish. Shut up. No, it's not. For bat. So it's pronounced, scatian, Latere.

Wait, is that Irish? Do an Irish accent. Say this in an Irish accent, Pat. Please. He's pointing at you. I know you're not a jukebox. It's unlaetre. Yeah, maybe.

If you would have said it like that, we would have all gotten it. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. So this translates to leather wing. Leather wing. Sorry, what was it again? I missed it. Oh, the wing of leather. Leather wing. Leather wing. A bat? Okay. Like a big bat? All right. Over.

Edwin's still writing these? We need to have a conversation with Edwin about giving us at least one gimmee. You just sound real stupid doing these. Next. Next. New shroon. New shorn. New shorn. Well, this is the governor of California. New shorn. New Shorn.

This is Californian for governor. Is that an RN or an M at the end? RN. New Shum. German blobfish. I actually have a reason why I'm saying that. Okay. German blobfish.

New Shum, I'm going to go back to you know, Vietnamese here. Newsham, this is a Vietnamese rattlesnake. It's Dutch for slug. Wait, let's hear your reasoning. Shorn, right?

Like a shorn, like a like a scrotum. Okay. Okay. Makes perfect logical sense. Yeah. Oh. So half point to forest.

It is Dutch. Wow. Nice. For rhino. Oh. I don't think. Horn. Horn.

Horn. Horns. Nose horn. Nose horn. God damn. We could have figured there were context clues in that. That is silly. You say that about everyone.

You're so competitive. That one was there. That's sitting there. News horn. By the way, he doesn't get half a point. That's bullshit. No, I said Dutch.

Fuck off. Location doesn't give you half a point. It has always given us half a point. Yes. Next, fine. You guys always agree with each other, glad handing, pet each other on the butt. All right. Next is Vogel Bechdeer. Vogel Bechdeer.

Okay. I like the way you said that. Vogel Bechere. This is clearly German, it's like Volkswagen, Vogel, Vogel, what does Vogel mean? Vogel means a vocal, a vocal, this is the German vocal deer. German singing deer.

I think back is. back and deer is deer something backed deer Vogel. What's a deer that has an interesting back? White tail? White tail deer? Yeah, just a common just a common deer in German. White tail deer. You guys are heading in the right direction.

Okay. Vogelbeck deer. This is Russian for red deer. Def, not Russian. I get a point for German. Half a point. So this is Dutch. Again? He always goes Dutch. For platypus. That makes no sense. That's shenanigans.

Here's where it comes in. Bird, mouth, animal. That makes sense? Sure. Bird, mouth. Is Vogel bird? Mouth, maybe. He doesn't know that part.

Yeah, I don't know why you would. I'm not sure. Our producers are great. All right. Next, I want to get one. I want to get the animal. Next is technosepeca. Technospeca.

You got a stutter as part of it. Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick. Tek, Tachnosepeka. Okay, I'm going. This is Greek for octopus. Ooh, Greek. Wow. I like that.

I think nose is nose and Becca is beak. So it's something with a beak nose. Go toucan. Go toucan. Tukan. In, where do two cans live, South America?

Mm-hmm. But that's not a South American. It's not, no. I'm not even guessing the language. I'm just going to take my half point with Tewk. Smart. That's tough.

I mean, Tec knows, Becca. This is definitely Tagalog. So this is Tegalog. So this is Tagalog. Tagalog. Kyle's native language. He is Filipino.

He is Filipino. His mom is half Filipino. Not true. Technosbeca. Yeah, I'm going to go with big nose bird. That's the actual species. It's actually the Muppet, Big Bird. What do we got?

Sorry, I shouldn't have said Toucan. So this is Turtle in Hungary. Oh, Turtle. It's got the T right in there. It's a dead giveaway. A dead giveaway. Two of the same letters. Hungarian. translates to

trough wearing frog. That's really funny. But had you given me a thousand guesses of languages, I never would have said Hungarian. I didn't even know that was a language. Maybe next time,

because you know by all the accent marks and the oomot. I want to get one. I really want to get one. Two more. Okay. Yeah. Furirarmu dinga.

Try again. Furir maroondinga. I was just throwing in ours. Ferriar mendanga. Ferriar mudanga. Ferriar muddanga. I'm going Indian.

I should probably have known that. What is Shawna? The native language of Zimbabwe. Oh, bro. He threw you a bone. Dude, you got your bone right there. It's been too many years. You've been taking too many bones lately, man.

It's been too many years. I'm going to get this. This last one is Babajan. Babajan. Babijan. Bobijon. It's not. Bobbejon.

Nope. Forrest knows this. It's Bobby Jan. Babon. That makes more sense. It's Afrikaans, but I don't know what for. Baboon. Babi.

Completely. Bad room and Afrikaans. Boom. I could tell it was an Afrikaans word by the yawn at the end. It's a close race. We got half a point to one point or one and a half points. I got one and a half points. But I missed the layup, which was from my own country.

Listen, I hope you guys played along and dropped your comments as we played in there. If not, hey, Drop some of your weird language animals. It would be nice for people to actually give us some to break down. Yeah, it'd be awesome. You'll read the comments. I won't. I read them all.

Drop those comments, baby. Here we go. Speaking of Bobby Young, my wife went to a Mariah Carey Christmas concert. So you're calling Mariah Carey a baboon? No, no. I'm talking about Bobby Young's. Okay. So you're talking about breast?

Wait, what are we talking about? I had the house to myself, you know? Uh-huh. And I was influenced by a commercial I saw while watching football. Uh-huh. ordered a, uh, Papa John stuffed crust pizza. And? Unbelievable.

That good? I, I, I, I, you ate the whole thing. No, I, no, he could never. I ate too much. But, like, I knew she was going to be out late, so I was really excited for my couch fort. Oh, God. And, uh, so nice. And, uh, fucking ate too much and fell asleep by like 9.45.

Oh, no. It was so good, though. Let me ask you this, though. Yeah. How was the sleep? Did, were you, were you tossing and turning? Did you wake up or did you sleep straight through? No, I was like fighting to like get more alone time in front of the TV and then like by 10 I like, you know, did that miserable walk to the back of the house to brush the teeth and go to bed.

Here's every step hurts. Oh, it's physically. Yeah. This is what I picture, Pat, because I've seen it many times. It's just on the couch. Wine. No, spills the wine. Oh, too.

That's terrible. Wow, it's from the old days. I used to do it all the time, but I don't do it anymore. Well, it's because we would stay. up till like 5 a.m. watching alien videos on your couch. Yeah. I would be leaving at 6.30 like, oh shit, my phone's dead. Go to the Starbucks to get my Uber. Can I use the charger?

Like, I'm still up from last night. What a mess. Yeah. Yeah, it's no good. I'd take the bus home one time. Yuck. No joke. You got influenced by a football commercial.

Yeah. I saw something interesting. Do you know the Sleep Appcom? Yeah. I've heard of it. Yeah. I've never used it. Don't need it.

But they advertise a lot. they put out an ad during, was it the Super Bowl or just a football game? I don't know. Who cares? 30 seconds of silence. Oh, yeah. I remember that.

Yeah. Okay, well, it must have been during the Super Bowl. I just saw this recently. Yeah. 30 seconds of complete silence with just text on the screen being like, you know,

you need to slow down or whatever. Sure. They had like a 300% increase in download. Yeah, it's great. It's great marketing though. Highly effective. Because think about it. You're like,

it's so, everything's so overstimulating during a football game. Right, or especially during the Super Bowl. Yeah. You're like, is the TV broken or whatever? And you're like, wow, this is really calming. Yeah. I don't know.

I just thought it was really clever. Like, you know whoever pitched that in the room, they were like, nah, this is really stupid. Yeah. We kind of put out an app with, like, a commercial with no sound and then absolutely crushed. Oh, dude. I mean, like, you're totally right, too, because once you recognize the silence, you're like, oh, yeah, I like this. This is nice. Yeah.

And then everybody shuts up in the room and you're like, wow. And then back to football, let's go! There was a commercial about like maybe two or three years ago about where everyone's TV kind of glitched or like broke. I think I remember that. Yeah. It was for some streaming service and that was like a similar thing. Kyle, are you taking notes? What can we do for the podcast that'll get us viral this way? Topps off.

It's an audio only podcast. Let's go dead silent. But instead of 30 seconds, let's do three minutes. Let's make it an hour. That won't get any tune out. Let's make it one full hour. We won't see a show. Guys, I wanted to, I wanted to bring this up.

I sent it to Kyle's very excited and I couldn't believe this. Got a message from a Brosner. And so how old do you guys think? And if you know this, you know, I'll ask Pat first. How old do you think octopi? Octopuses are. How long have they existed on Earth?

Yeah. Yeah. Like the oldest one that we know of. Do you think? I think they might be newish in the grand scheme of things. I'll say five million years. I'm going to go 150 million years. You're both.

Well, you're closer for us, but I think it was 263 million years old. They found, or 296 million years old, which means that they've been around longer than dinosaurs, bro. Can you believe this? I fact-checked this because I didn't believe it. No, that's really interesting. What I'm wondering is how a cephalopod fossilized. That's what I said to Kyle. I said the same thing.

And what did you say, Kyle? I said, I'm pretty sure there's just calcified bones, right? They don't have bones. Exactly. I mean, yeah. Kyle, maybe Google this because I actually want to know the answer before we stop talking about it. How does this get fossil? By the way, well, we'll circle back to this. But yeah, how does a cephalopod get fossilized? Kyle's going to tell us, but there's no bone.

But dude, so octopuses, cephalopods, color changing aliens have been on the planet Earth for 296 million years longer than dinosaurs, bro. They're watching us. And they're like so. They're just waiting to make their move. Do you think they've always been as smart as they are? Do you think they've evolved? to be that smart. No, I would think they've evolved over time. Yeah, but dude, I mean, I was just says it's extremely rare, but it doesn't say how the rare instance occurs. It also said there was a 330 million-year-old 10-armed cephalopod that was discovered in limestone in Montana's Bear Gulch. Dude, that always fascinates me when they find like a fossil in the Grand Canyon from when it was filled with water. And you're just like, man, the earth has been.

Dude, Green River Fossil Co. It's like a fossil mine out of Wyoming, I want to say. Yeah. It's the greatest fossil deposit in the world. They, like, make tables and benches and tiles and shit out of fossils that they find in Wyoming all under the sea. I have a buddy who is much richer than we are, but he's got a fireplace made out of Green River fossil rock.

Isn't it stunning, though? It's incredible. It's like my dream one day to have something like that. Look at that. Look at that. I've talked to these guys. I have a desk from them. They gave it to me for a set for a show that got canceled before it started.

So I'm sure they were stoked on that. But look at that. Imagine that wall in your house. Oh, my God. So what we're looking. Sorry, I just got to tuck my boner into my waist making. It's just such a cool looking wall.

Wait, so are these fossils that are actually in this rock right here? Are they like cart? No, so they take, yeah, look at that kitchen. That is my dream kitchen.

Everybody is incredible. I'm going to start an only fans to get that kitchen. Put it on your Amazon wish list. Yeah, no. So what is the Green River formation? Why does it? I don't know. I'm sure Kyle would know.

But yeah, it's the Green River is the place in, is it Wyoming? Is that right, Kyle? And it's these mountain, or like hills. They're not really mountains. And then they've used as a quarry. And they'll take a slice out of the sandstone. Yeah. And then they excavate the fossils out of the slice, basically.

And that's what you're seeing, what they make these, these things, these walls and stuff out of it. So is it confirmed in Wyoming, Kyle? Or are you just highlighting random shit on Google again? These guys are based in Logan, Utah. Utah. Okay. But, dude, I mean, this just kind of. kind of really blew my mind. It always puts things into perspective because, you know, like,

people think dinosaurs are fake and stuff. And I'm always just like, man, then they discover something that we didn't, that we, oh, it is in Wyoming. It's right on the border there. The green river formation of 50 million year old shale deposit. So, uh, I guess we're not going to find out because we have horrible producing. But if anybody knows how cephalopods are fossilized, please drop it in the comments. On that, uh, note, Kyle, quickly Google, Octopus. skeleton Halloween. Okay. This gets me every Halloween. It drives me. It's like a pet peeve. So this is something you can buy every Halloween. Just want to be clear, octopus don't have bones. And this is a Halloween decoration that comes out every year.

This thing's genius. It's infuriating. It looks like an alien. It's creepy. It's a gray alien head. It's creepy, but it's, it's infuriating. It's not, it's not scientifically correct. We're not teaching the children the right things here. Yeah, but the giant werewolf that my neighbor puts up is definitely genetically correct. Come on. Come on. Now, I just thought that that was interesting, man. I love stuff like that. You know, me and octopuses. Octopi fossilize when they are buried quickly under sediment while they are still alive or shortly after they die.

That can be the same answer for how anything ever has been fossilized. The process excludes oxygen and prevents decay and scavenging. This must be like the same thing. Right, but they're soft-bodied animals with no bones inside. It doesn't make sense. Is it saying that maybe like they get like encased in the mud and then the mud? So it's like a print that's left behind. Like a casting.

I don't know. Well, very cool. I mean, it must be the same way that those alien mummies they keep finding in Peru are fossilized. Did that last one get debunked? Or is that still up for debate? I mean, I'm not going to get into it crazy. No, none of it's debunked. And also, back in November, they had two more congressional hearings about UAPs and

The Small Fish. Unidentified aerial phenomenon. And lots of interesting. Interesting. Kim's came out. A nice roll mup. Yeah. Not good.

Do you like Kippard Herring? No, it's disgusting. Hey, what was that? What's your favorite sushi? What did I say? Wahoo? I don't remember anything. What's the one we talk about?

It's got the gross one in the Pacific and the good one. Amber Jack. Oh, Amberjack. That's your favorite, not my favorite. All right. Fair enough. All right. Well, you know what?

It's the holidays. Yeah. Gift buying time. Yeah, baby. It's eggnog sip and time. Yeah, baby. Cool outside. Patrick's favorite.

time of the year. Shortly, we have another pod, but we are, we have a Wild Times Christmas party on the books. That's right. Maybe we'll do a little live stream from there for 10 minutes. I'm going to have PJs on the whole time. Absolutely. I'm going to drink myself sick with Nog. Bring a snow globe. I can't wait. Oh, yeah.

Good night, everybody. Hey, good night. Don't forget to check us out. Wildtimes.combe We got all the merch. We got the fun stuff. We got sign up for the Patreon. Yeah, you know, do all the things. Get a water bottle for someone for Christmas. Just Do it. Pupion's not a sponsor. No.
