You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough. Enough to get lost. Or you could book a stay with Hilton. Welcome to your oceanfront room. Just steps from the water.

The Hilton sale is on now. Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay. I don't know if we're rolling, but here we go. Oh, there's the music. Wow.

Wild Times. Ooh, do, do, do, do. Here we go, wild times. We're in the studio. I was driving down here today, and I said, hey, guys, are we on time or do I have 10 minutes to stop for coffee? And Peter sent me a voice memo. Did you listen to it? I have not listened to it because he didn't send it to me.

Oh, I did. I said it to the group chat. Oh, Kyle, can you play this over the speakers? This is what he sent me in response. Get that coffee, baby. you're the host of the show. Let's go, baby. You gotta be tip-taxed.

All right, so here's what's going on. I don't know what happened. So last month, Peter was dying for a month. That's right. That's true. And he felt like crap. Yeah. You've been cleared by your doctors

that you're not dying. Cleared. Been working out. Working out like mad, dude. Feeling good about it. Awesome weight, too. You look trim. Thank you, man.

I will say this. Like, working out every time I stop doing it, I'm like, why am I doing this? This is, I'm going to die early if I don't work out. And then I continue to stop doing it. Every time I start working out, I'm like, oh, my God, this is better than drugs. Like, I must keep working out. What the hell is wrong with me?

Why would I ever stop? It's insane because you've done this the whole time I've known you almost 20 years. And when you get in your workout kicks, you're so fun, in a great mood. Enjoyable to be around. I'm going to text Kyle a picture next. Well, Forrest is talking about the first news story to pull up from when we would go to, when you were like obsessed with working out that summer that we had. Yeah, baby.

The one where you bleached my teeth white in the photo. He looks like an Adonis. Yeah. Dude, that photo is like the epitome of douche though. We're sitting on the wall of the Venice skate park. Like, just drinking vodka out of a water bottle or something at like 2 p.m. I mean, like, you're jealous of our life when you see that picture or you hate us severely. I have one of you and I like that from Vietnam on the bridge.

Oh, yeah. You're the one. I posted it on Instagram. It's one of like the 12 photos I've ever posted. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Standing there looking so cool. Like, kind of both staring off, like, without paying much attention. Yeah, it's a good photo.

But let me tell you guys, I'm more exciting than my working out is the $5,000 we're giving away. Oh, yeah, we are. Yeah, that's a big deal. Five grand. Five grand. If you haven't heard about the contest yet, you know, we're giving away five grand. It's super easy. It's literal a Venmo payment.

Yeah. We'll talk about it. Yeah, it's nice. First, let's get into the news. Kyle Feverishly trying to get the drop. I'm so sweaty. What's in the news? Why isn't it's sweaty?

It's disgusting. All right, big piece of news coming out. The first known state sighting of a deep sea angler fish washes up on the Oregon coast. Now, what do you guys think of when you think of an angler fish? You've all seen finding Nemo. Super freaking cool. Yeah, it's got the light with the bioluminescent thing.

Close, that's right. Close in the dark. crazy teeth. So these fish typically live between 2,000 and 3,500 feet. I thought you were going to say years. And I was like, what? 2,000 years? Which means you're not seen a lot, right?

Right. We don't spend a lot of time at 2,000 feet deep. There have only ever been 31 Pacific football fish recorded, period. And their sightings have been worldwide. They've been in New Zealand, Japan, Russia, even in the tropics like Ecuador. And just this week, sure enough, this heinous looking creature, the Pacific football fish, washed up on the shores of Boulder Beach. No, sorry, Cannon Beach in Oregon.

So the Pacific football fish is an angler fish, or is that a... Yes, so anglerfish is a group. There's several or many species of angler fish. It's like a phylum? Yeah, no, it's a genus. Genius. Oh, fish. Hey, look at that, a Leatherman ad.

That was not intentional, but look at this thing. How did you skip the Leatherman ad, Kyle? Yeah, that's our sponsor, Kyle. Do those teeth look like metal? Metal. They look like metal. I wish there was something to show how big it is. I know.

You don't get much scale. I think it's about a foot. I think it's about 12. That's pretty big. That's pretty big for that plate-looking thing. Because most of them, when they die, they probably just sink to the bottom. Right. Bottom feeder food.

Exactly. And they're down at such pressure and they're gelatinous. It looks like a testicle with teeth. It sure does, dude. Now, let me run something by you. Kyle, go back to that, you son of a bitch. Yeah, what are you doing? Moving too quick.

So Peter, you got excited thinking Forrest was going to say they lived 2,000 years. Yeah, because that always, I'm like, dude, I think about that. Like the Greenland Shark or whatever lived for so long and it's still there. And I was like, this thing was around in the 1800s. All right. So right now I'm going to give you the opportunity. Because how many good years do you think you have left? At least six or seven.

Okay. So let's say. If he keeps working out, 10. Let's say, let's just say 30. Let's say 30. I'm not good. Most of them won't be good. I'm messing up his story left and right.

But let's say you've got 30 years left now. Okay, 30 years. But I can ping your soul and mind into the body of an angler fish if it was going to live 2,000 years. Would you want to do it? Right now or in 30 years? No, of course right now. Oh, boy. Wow.

I'm going to, you can live for 2,000 more years. No, I mean. As an angler fish in the deep fucking see, it sounds miserable. Yeah. I was floating around. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I wouldn't do this, but I still would do the thing where I got a billion dollars to shit in my pants randomly. How about this? We can transport your wife also.

She'll now be an angler fish for the next 2,000 years. And she's down with it? Yeah. She's, she's like, let's live forever, baby. Me and you love. It does sound like a nice vacation from the kids. You can have new kids. You can have angler fish kids.

You've got 2,000 years. Many of them. Can I bring one kid? No. All right. You're just going to bring your favorite of the two? Wait, hold on. Can I add this to the equation?

What if I told you this to bring it back to biology? Male Pacific football fish and many angler fish species are parasitic. So when they go to mate with the females, they actually embed and fuse into the females. They lose their eyes and internal organs and provide a steady source of spurn. on the side of the female. So in other words, you just, that's true,

by the way, I set this up. Okay, perfect. Well, that was great. So you and your wife transport down there,

and then you just latch on, basically just insert and stay. You know, do their brains continue working? No, they just melt into them, basically. And just sperm slowly seeps out.

Yeah. Wow. Which, I mean, let's be honest, it's not much. I mean, I can just live,

like, without putting any effort into living? You're just nutting. That's it. That's all you're doing. Just a constant orgasm? You just lose them. That's true.

All right, I'd go. I'd go. All right, I'm in. A 2,000 year orgasm. That's what you're in for. Oh, boy, yeah, just constant. That's exhausting. Now, do you know this?

Because the males obviously can only mate with one female. You only have one shot to fuse in and spill your guts out in your eyes. Yeah. Will the females accept multiple males embedded into their side? Ooh, good question. I don't know. That is a good question. Kyle, can you find that out for us?

I really want to know. Can you search us on Pornhub, actually? So eventually this angler, this female angler fish just has like several parasitic blobs on it and it's going around. Just coming everywhere. Oh, God, it's a big cum bubble. What a lucky gal. What a lucky gal. Oh, yeah, those angler fish gals.

What did you find, Kyle? More than one male? I didn't find that out. No, but I did find that the females get up to 24 inches or 60 centimeters, but the males are tiny. They're only four centimeters big. Oh, shit. So the male is tiny. Is 1 15th the size of the female.

It's crazy. How does that work? Evolution baby. He's just a swim in ball sack. That's all he is to the females. That's literally all he is to the females. You know, I'm not joking. That's all we are to our females as well.

I'm less than that for sure. I didn't realize I never, today, just now I learned that only the females have the little bioluminescent light thing. Yeah, the males just like a tadpole basically. Well, we've never, we've probably never seen a male. No, you have. They see them when they, like, actually, I bet you go down, Kyle, scroll down a couple. If you're just watching or just listening, come and watch, pull that one up there. Second one over, Eco Watch.

Yeah, I bet all those blobs are males. Oh, multiple. Wow. You see those little spiky blobs? I bet those are all males. Spirm warts. Yeah. Oh, what a treat.

Yeah, what a, looks delicious. I wish we ate it. What if they maintain consciousness? Oh, that'd be rough. That would suck. It would be pretty sweet until the second male came along. They'd be like, no, no, no, this is mine. They're just yammering at each other forever.

But they can't talk. Yeah. I do want to announce the contest because we're giving way five grand. It's a tease. But I do need to ask this because I have a shoot going on in Alaska right now. And we're just talking about the glacier, right? Matanuska glacier, which you've been there. Love it.

You've filmed on it. Yep. Very, very beautiful. For those who haven't been to a glacier, there's these crevasses in the glacier. There's another word. It's like a Moulon, I think, where it's just a hole that drops down. Yeah, one of them is that like whole.

That hole that just drops into basically nothingness. And they always tell you, they're like, if you fall down that, you're not coming back now. You're never coming back. Because, I mean, it's just an ice slide. Yeah. And then some of the crevasses, though, it looks like a fun slide. Yeah. But you will literally disappear thousands of feet under the glacier.

And there's no coming back. There's no coming back. can you think of something that would be worse? No. Dude, no. Hold on, Kyle, while we're talking, pull us up. There's a recent video of a guy who goes kayaking down one of these and then over a waterfall. So it's not obviously the deep death one.

Kyle knew. Look, he's already typing in Red Bull kayak glaciers. He knew. He's seen it. Is this in Greenland? Kyle is the internet. If you say something that's been on the internet, it's hardwired into Kyle's brain. He might be an AI bot.

Yeah. He got the Mark Zuckerberg thing in plan. I can't tell you something I think would be more terrifying than that is getting stuck upside down in a very narrow cave. Like that one guy did. Oh, yeah. Nuddy putty kid. Nuddy putty cave. I think burning to death for me would be.

So short, though. I don't think it would be worse. I don't think it would be worse. No. Because I think you would just be, you would be trying to get it to go out. Yeah, that's true. Just rolling around furiously. Yeah, but at least you have a fun slide for a couple seconds before you die on this one.

What? All right, is you going to do it? Here we go. All right, so we're watching a guy. We're watching a guy in a kayak here. He's at this beautiful glacial, looks like Antarctica, maybe in the Arctic. He says top of the Arctic circle. And he's going down a glacial waterfall.

What a loon. Oh, here we go. Here's the GoPro footage. Dude, this looks like the world's most majestic water slide. I don't know why he's doing it in the kayak. To be honest, I feel like you just want to be on your butt. I think you want to float that. Yeah, armor.

Dude, I'd tube that. Oh, and now he's in a tunnel. A tunnel, bro? Crazy. Dude, Red Bull has... Worth it to get there, I would say. So, let me ask you, Pat. Would you do this? This has never been done by this guy.

He's the first one to go through this. Oh, well, now he's going down a waterfall. Well, that part's a little bit scary. That I'm not doing. Mental. I don't want to do that part either. Holy crap. Oh, damn, that's a big waterfall.

It's like a 50-foot drop. Yeah, dude. Okay, but until then, it looked awesome. Actually, I would still do it on my butt. If you knew that was deep enough, I'd do it on my butt. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't.

I'm just saying, yeah, you would. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing cooler than that. How fucking awesome is that, bro? That's bananas. Beautiful. Wow. And then he probably, like, some whales came to check it out. He's like, what is this crazy human doing?

I would like to do that. I'd like to go to that glacier and float. Maybe right up until the waterfall. Yeah. You would die. Yeah. You know, not cheap, though. No?

No. You think it's going to be cheap getting to the Arctic Circle? No, probably not. I think it's going to cost like $5,000. Oh, here we're very excited about this. Yeah, we love our brosters. I listen to a lot of podcasts. No one's ever said, here's an easy way to win 5,000 cash that we're going to send you.

Yeah, it's the best. It's the best thing we've ever done. Yeah. So two of you who are listening or watching are each going to win or maybe one person wins both prizes. Possible. Oh, man. $2,500 cash because of our sponsor, Leatherman. tools who we love. This morning, you guys texted and you said, hey, we got to do the Leatherman

competition. Has anybody got one on them? What was my response? I have a truck full of them. I have four that I keep in my truck at all times. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't have the Skeletool, which is their newest tool, which I love. I have one at home. I've got one in this greenish color. It's sick. It's super light. It's got seven tools for a hiking one, for one that you're just cruising around with, because some of these are heavier, you know, but if you want something that you're just hiking with so that you still have all the essential tools, a good blade and a good pair of needle nose pliers. Skeletool with a little belt clip, fantastic. I feel like a skeletal tool would be good for me. For a guy like me, hikes infrequently, likes to open beer bottles. Between

the restroom and the office. It's, it's Father's Day season, right? That's right. Father's Day season. Hopefully, you know, you love your dad. Hopefully, it's still alive. It's a great opportunity to get him an awesome gift that will last forever. Yep. We actually have a a promo code. Wild times 10. Wild times 10 at checkout through June 30th. Wild times 10. So here's how you enter the contest. Okay. Let me let me run this down for you. Let's do it. Just make a video. It's super easy. There's no barrier to entry here. Nope. What you do is you make a video. Maybe it's your dad unwrapping his father's day gift. Yep. Maybe it's a recent college graduate and you do a funny gift presentation. Yeah. What would be a funny gift presentation? I'd hide it. I'd hide it. I'd

hide it and make a treasure hunt. I'd put it in my graduates' cake. So when he bit into it, he broke all of his teeth. Smart. Yeah, I like that. That's a life lesson. That's right. It could also just be like a video explaining like why you have a friend that needs a leatherman. Now let me ask you this. Does the video have to have a leatherman in it? It's a bonus points. That makes sense. But if you make a hilarious video that makes us laugh, I, it doesn't have to. No, it doesn't. But that's the fun of this. We're making up the rules as we go here. Just make a creative video. Think about it. It's sponsored by Leatherman. So, you know, something that inspires you to make a video. Could just be you talking.

just go to wild times. combe. forward slash Leatherman. You can also submit the video there. If you don't have Instagram, that's weird. But you can, it's, your mom doesn't. No. But your dad's never.

I can't believe you threw in a dad's dad thing in there earlier. I was, all right, let's get back into the news. All right. Make sure you cut. Really. Oh, sorry. Did you want to do another thing still?

No, I was going to say, make sure you cut half of that out. Dude, one of the funniest things I've ever seen was my buddy, Nick Swartson was on Norm MacDonald's podcast. Oh, I love Norm rest in peace. Yeah. And Norm was trying to do,

it's one of the funniest clips I've ever seen. He's trying to do an ad on his podcast for a product called man great. Oh, I've seen this. And he's like, man great, chicken, fish, he's reading the copy and he's so uncomfortable.

And he's like, perfect for Father's Day. He's like, right, Nick? He goes, your dad's still alive, right? And Nick just goes,

no. And he goes, fuck. I've seen it. It's so funny. dude. Oh, his podcast show, whatever you want to call it, was bananas, dude. He was funny.

We got to do ads in these things. More news. What do we got going? I just like this. It's short. It's as simple as it sounds. There was a tourist visiting Yellowstone. Where were they visiting? Where were they visiting? I know. I hoped you guys didn't catch that. I'm going to try that again. We catch everything. Try that again. There was a tourist

visiting Yellowstone who left disgruntled. Okay. too much traffic I'm gonna guess tried to take an up close picture of a bison both good and normal guests

especially in today's world where everybody seems to try and take selfies with everything nope they were upset over the lack of trained grizzly bears so they filed a formal complaint with the tourism board at Yellowstone this can't be real this is a real story that's the whole there's nothing

more to the story there's nothing more to talk about I just had to bring this up there is more okay so they left a message on a note at the visitor's center. Shall I read it? Yes. Our visit was wonderful, but we never saw any bears. Please train your bears to be where guests can see them.

This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears. Wow, dude. Wow. Obituate grizzly bears so that people in them can interact a lot. Look, there's the note. There's the actual note from the visitor center. It's got to be satire, right? I mean, I don't think so.

No, you think this is real? People are this dumb. They really are. You got to think like, okay, sure, you're paying all that money. but you're going to like, you're paying money to go be in like one of the most natural places that you can be where it's like, you know,

waterfalls, beautiful rock formations, the forest and you want trained bears to come out. I'll tell you where if you need to go see a trained or habituated bear at Yellowstone, you go to the dump. That's it. Just hang out by the dump.

You go to the dump. Yep. And you can watch bears eat trash. Oh, God. That's so gross. Like that's so just like anti-fucking conservation anti-anything bears eating trash

at the dump, man. It's just such a bad visual. They thought they were going to the Disney's jungle cruise. Yeah, exactly. They're like, why aren't they out on display currently? Yeah, I think it's hilarious.

You know, it's funny. It's pretty funny. You mentioned, you said, yeah, especially today because everyone's trying to take a stupid selfie or whatever. Yeah. I show you on my phone. This was either last night or the night,

two nights ago, my niece who just graduated college, her and her friends are on a cross-country trip. I remember when the same niece was a snarky 15-year-old. Yeah, now she's a snarky 22-year-old. Wow. But her and her friends are on our cross-country trip. I didn't know.

And she sent to our family thread a picture of her and a couple friends at Yellowstone and said Yellowstone. I was like, oh, that's cool because, you know, I made the show. Yeah. Worked there a bunch. A special place to me. Yeah. And I literally was like, I need to be a dad here. Yeah.

You stepped in with some words of wisdom. Four 22-year-old girls are going to possibly do something stupid to post it on Instagram. Absolutely. So I literally wrote like a long thing. I was like, you actually need to stay on the boardwalks because you're that guy now. You're that guy in the family group chat. Yeah. What was the response?

Crickets. Absolutely. Nothing. Of course. Nothing. Oh, my God. Peter, what do you do when your mom sends you a text message telling you to be careful of something? Well, first of all, her text message would be like,

like, hey, my honey bongy, love you. Like all jumbled words. Hungabong, I love you. Your kids are both cute. His mom is Billy Ray Cyrus. I'm trying to mimic like the typos and capitalized letters mixed with. Dude, the random capitalized letters. If I ever get to that, can you, what do you just put a bullet in my head?

If I ever just start texting you gibberish with random capital letters, just put me down. Dude, texting is going to be like obsolete. elite by the time we're that age. What, what, what, what's going to replace it like VR? It's got to be like VR video. A neural message. But I won't be. 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. Oh,

people won't get it. So we're still sending texts. We're still sending texts. That are gibberish. Okay, so what would be your number one thing that you would warn a group of four 22-year-old recent college grads to not do it,

Yellowstone, knowing that they're probably going to be posting a lot on social media. My brain went directly to the office. and all four girls being on their cycle at the same time and it being too dangerous for them to be around Bears. That's an office joke. It's very funny. We've got to find out if she's on her period.

Kyle shaking his head that this guy's going to show. When he listens to this. I'm going to let Forrest continue, but what would happen and that bears would be interested? No, of course not. It's just funny. Bears are attracted to blood, dude. What would you happen if you sent that text?

feelers out in the family. I think my mom would just pretend she hadn't seen it. And then my brother who's the dad, would probably call me and be like, are you drunk? What are you doing? All right, my number one piece of advice would be

they're four 22 year old girls on a graduation road trip. Yeah, you've got to be posting mad selfies. Yeah, but they're going to be drinking and smoking pot. That's what they're doing. Probably. I mean, sorry to your brother's kids, but I mean, they're You know, like they're having some boozy drinks. Yeah.

And Yellowstone. Plus. Yeah. Yellowstone is conducive to that. Like there's the lodges and blah, blah, blah, yeah. Just be smart. Don't go drink a bunch and then go like, let's go see the bears by the guys. That's what you would do.

That is what I do. Yeah, I know. He's like, I've done it. I know. That's what I'm saying, don't do it. Yeah. That's a good way to live, by the way. I should always just do things that Forrest does do.

Do not do them. Kyle, what do I say when when we're out shooting now? I say, do as I say, not as I do. because if I'm doing it, it's a bad idea. But if I tell you not to do it, it's probably a good idea. That's smart. Yeah. That's good words to live by.

I didn't realize he was such a dictator on set. Yes, you did. Oh, God, I could imagine. Yes, you did. Dude, he walks in here. He's like a dictator. He's like, I got to get coffee this morning, so I'm going to be in late. He sends the text this morning.

That's not how that was. But he did, Forrest did walk in and handed us our coffees. There you go. We're like, what the fuck are you whispering? And then he goes, he was on a call. but we didn't know and he's like, all right guys, this is, I'm done with this, bye. I didn't do that. I hadn't said a word in like 11 minutes.

What was the call? It was a group of people talking about network notes. Oh, okay. And I was just like, most of these are bad notes, ignore the bad ones, do the good ones. And I said that like 14 minutes ago. And then they were dissecting every single individual note. And I was just like, there's no reason for me to be here. So you're an executive producer now, which means you don't have to do that anymore.

I know, but I'm still, you know me, I'm very like hands-on with everything. So I want to be there. But when they're talking about, oh, well, at minute 347, there's a note about bridging the scene between the VO and the, I'm like, just fix it. We need a line of VO that explains the scene that we just saw, even though the scene explained itself. Yeah, the word sign posting. Yep, but say again what just happened. Exactly. And then tell me what's going to happen in the next scene so that I can't be surprised.

when I watch it. Exactly. Yeah, I want no surprises. I want it all laid out wall-to-wall VO. Don't let there be one second without talking on screen. Nope. Yeah. It's just funny hearing like you guys as somebody who's on the opposite end of that many times, like with the notes, the guy that's like reading the notes and being like, well, they said, they said that they can't understand this scene. And then you guys are like, well, just fix it. Yeah, that's it. Just fix it. Yeah. No, it's all good stuff. But yeah, that's, That was my call. Sorry, I'd just been on it for way too long.

No, I know. Also, I was kidding about the coffee. You seem like you thought I was serious. You're like, I didn't say that. But I was just kidding because you had, I was throw him. I just didn't want to be holding us up because I was like, I really want more coffee. We just got an expensive coffee machine at my house. Finally.

Well, that's news. Yeah. What do you mean? Yeah, which one? I don't know. It's a Ness Cafe. It's the big round pods, you know, the like semi-circle pods. It's big.

It's like this fucking big. I don't know. I kind of operate it. Jess has to make my coffee. It's funny. There's like 14 buttons on it. We got one. Yeah.

And you can make like the fancy drinks. You can swirl the fucking design on the top. Whatever. Yep. Ours is bigger than any of those, Kyle. I don't know what it is. I have no idea how to use it. No,

I can't do it too much. You have to like de-scale it and clean it and it becomes a real deal. Descale it. I review. Jessica got mad at me. Oh, it's that one. I saw it for a second. That one?

No, no. It's not quite that big. But I refuse Jessica. It's like that's in a restaurant, bro. Dude, it is like a restaurant one. But I got home from Florida and Jessica's like, look, I got us this coffee machine. She's like, let me give you a tutorial and I refused to walk out of the house. And she's like, I hate you.

Never to come back. Yeah, I was like, I won't, I don't want to learn how to use the coffee machine. She just wanted to bond with you, bro. That's the reality. I know, but I refused to acknowledge the new coffee machine. I walked out of the room. I don't want to learn how to use the coffee machine. So now instead, instead of taking five minutes to learn from my wife how to use the coffee machine,

I have to spend 15 minutes angry that I don't know how to make coffee every morning. And then drive a round trip of 30 minutes to go get a coffee. Until you finally watch a 60 second TikTok while you're driving on how to use the very same coffee maker. There's a value, I think, to going to the coffee shop for me, which is that I get out of the house. I work from home most of the time. And so I don't want to make coffee at home. I like that I get to go. I see some strangers.

I have a conversation with the person at the cashier. that's my interaction for the day face to face. I don't want to talk to my kids or wife. I know this is a lot of coffee talk but I just want to add. That's the name of the podcast. We never introduced ourselves.

Who cares? Who cares? I have an old school coffee pot, dude, and it's amazing. You fucking fill it up. My wife does this every morning. The house smells like coffee. I come down.

It's like being at my grandma's house back when I was in the day. And then there's a full pot of coffee and I can drink several cups of coffee throughout the day without having to do anything. I just come back. It's still warm. Ooh, more coffee. And I think that that's the way coffee should be drank.

That's old school. So I had a thing where is more coffee talk? No. Okay. No, it's time to move on now. But I want to know if you do this. So I think a lot of people who listen probably go to a coffee shop at least once a week order. Coffee talk. No, it has to do with me being a fucking lunatic.

Okay, sorry. So Oh my goodness. What are you? Got still a little present. Trip! I am going to Key West. Did you just change out of your jeans? That's right, man. Sky's out, thighs out.

Legs look good. His legs do looks good. Fresh pair of chubby swim. I have two of these already. Dude, those are the lined ones? These are the lined chubbies. Very fun. There are so many good things about that.

Not just the look, but they have pockets. People don't like pockets in swimsuits nowadays. It's crazy. It's insane. Not to mention that line swimsuit keeps your nuts from slapping the inside of your thigh when you're running around. When you're frolicking? Yeah, I'm a big frolicer.

By the way. Here's what I do at the beach. Frolick. Yeah, it's all he does. I've seen him at the beach. He's a frolicer. That's a sweet, dude, for cocktail hour. That's right, man.

You were talking about how like P.S., everybody just wears this. So I was like, oh, it's perfect. You're going to look good. Yeah. You're going to look good. You're going to feel good. No, let me ask you for us.

Because I'm a five and a half inch in seam guy. Yeah. You can get, I think, with Chubby's, you can either get four, five and a half or seven. Yeah. Five and a half is where I draw the line. I wish they made a two inch in. Yeah.

I know it. There's no such thing. I'm a rugby shorts guy. I've been wearing rugby shorts my whole life. That was what I was known for in college. I want the shortest possible inseam. But I'll tell you this, for a pair of shorts that looks good off the shelf,

the four inch in seam chubbies, chef's kiss. I swear to God, I gave both of my brothers a pair of chubbies well before they were a sponsor for Christmas. I have two pairs. Bought them for Key West last year. Yep.

Had a lot of fun. Felt great, super comfortable. will genuinely love the brand. Yeah, look at these legs. Look, whether you're getting dressed for your workday, a workout, a weekend getaway, Chubbies has you covered, and for a limited time, Chubbies is giving our viewers 20% off your order with our code wild at chubbies shorts.com.

Support our show, support Retepp's phenomenal calf muscles. Tell them we say you, don't blend in with the crowd. Stand out like Peter with Chubbies. 20%'s nice. That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. For a good pair of shorts, it's great. Please don't come over. Oh, no. I realized that, uh, because, because I was, somebody told me that they were like you, there's a psychological condition that explains a lot of your behavior. That's what you're therapist, I presume. Yeah. Narcissistic personality disorder. It's called, uh, he's hypervigilance. Oh, yeah. Adam Carolla has this. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, yeah, that all makes sense.

And I was thinking when I go to the coffee shop, you order, and then I sit at a table and I read MLB box scores. It's nice. I enjoy my five minutes of cell phone time. Yeah, for sure. But I must be in the right spot in the shop with full view of the door and everyone who's coming in. Oh, and you in the fucking lighting thing? Oh, yeah. I've walked out of more restaurants with you because of the overhead lighting.

Peter, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. This is an insane tick that I think our audience needs to hear about. I somewhat agree with this, though, because the lighting can just ruin an entire vibe meal. Dude, we were in Zanzibar. There's like eight restaurants on the whole fucking island. Yeah.

We drive 40 minutes to a restaurant that we made a reservation at six days prior. We walk in. Patrick looks up. He goes, nope, we're not eating here. Really? I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, I kind of eat here with these overhead fluorescent ways. So we had to drive 40 minutes to a different restaurant.

See, no, that's a mental disorder. The lighting was terrible. I wasn't going to waste my money on it or my one night. So I got stuck in a situation. I was visiting my mom and stepdad. The whole family's there. My brothers, my nieces and nephews, we go to this fucking restaurant and they've set up a table for, you know, 15 people. Yeah.

And the lighting's abysmal. I mean, direct overhead light. This is insane, right? I'm not eating in the first. eating in the fucking on an aisle 12 of Walmart. So you actually forced everyone? No, I didn't force everyone to leave because they'd set the table. There was no way we're getting another place.

Sunlasses? I just got up. Unscrewed bulbs. Did you really? I unscrewed four or five bulbs. And it's not like they were fluorescent bulbs. We're going to click them. Right.

Well, the fact that you know you have to click fluorescent bulbs is even weird. But yeah, I unscrewed four or five bulbs had a lovely meal. Okay. Good for you. That's smart. and not at all insane. But you do have hypervigilance. I mean, it's like,

sometimes, like, when you're distracted by things going on and not focused on the conversation, it's like watching a cat chase a fly around, like, while having a conversation with you. But then you'll come back to the conversation and know everything that was just said. And I'm like, horrible. I'm like, how do you know what I just said?

You were looking like over there. Yeah, no, it is a crazy thing. It's bad for me. I'm working on it. You guys want to do a bizarre animal the week? Love to. Hell yeah. Let's get back

to some animal non-coffee talk. Did it? Activate creature report. Ooh. Cousin' cousin fucking tarnation. How bizarre?

Okay. How does this work? How does this work? How bizarre? How bizarre? How bizarre? All right, this is bizarre animal of the week.

So the way this game works, I give you some clues. You guys guess what the animal is. We narrow in on it. And we'll see who gets it first. You guys are the brosters in the comments. I love it. How's that sound?

Okay. Sounds real good. All right. We've gotten a couple of these before. You have. Yeah. You have. All right, today's bizarre animal of the week.

Your first clue is it has a long, slender body, and it lacks limbs. Eel. That's a good guess. Thank you. Now, that's not bizarre enough. It is Marais eel. It is a, I don't know, I'm just going to, a pit viper. Okay.

These are good guesses. Very bizarre. Let's narrow in, shall we? Yes. Clue number two, these animals are. primarily found in tropical regions. Here's the clue, dwelling in moist soil, leaf letter, litter, litter, or freshwater habitats.

Wow. I know what it is. No limbs. What is it? It's an earthworm. It's a good guess. Not that bizarre. They, so far, this is an earthworm.

That's true. Those clues would give you earthworm. Okay. This feels, dude, I, I, I, what are those creatures in Dune? It's one of those. Bobbit worm? Yeah, it's a Bobbit worm.

Bobbit worm's a deep sea creature. That's what I said. Okay. Carry on. My next clue, third clue, for this long, limbless creature that lives in moist soil and leaf litter. Patrick said it's an earthworm. I'll give you this as a clue. It eats earthworms.

Yeah, take that. Active at night, you said? It can be. Okay. They are nocturnal. Did you not say that? I didn't, but that's okay. Sorry, I read it.

You're reading the clues. It's a naked mole rat that can. got its limbs blown off. That's a guess. Have I heard of this animal? Yes. I've talked about it before, right? Kyle says yes.

Yeah. Okay. Shit. I'm going to keep going. I need another clue. Okay. Next clue, they have an excellent sense of smell. So while they're living in this leaf litter, moving between freshwater habitats and

drier areas, they can smell their prey that they're chasing down. The limb thing should have been the last guess because I can't think of anything. Yeah. I mean, I would. It lives in leaf litter, you said, right? Yeah. So it's not leaf letter. And in and out of fresh water.

That's what makes it really unique. God, fresh water. Like, what goes in? It's it, everything has limbs, bro. Like, I can't. Or do they? Is it a frog with no limbs? A legless frog?

Wouldn't that be a cool animal? No. Still eat. It's a, it's a, some sort of weird amphiuma species. Very close. This is good. He's on to something. Amphalufus?

I think I'm going to get it after this. He's getting there. Let me tell you this. They're predatory, as I mentioned, nocturnal, long, limbless, living leaf litter and fresh water, predatory. And they have uniquely arranged sharp backward curving teeth, which aid them in capturing and gripping onto and ripping their prey. Hagfish. It's sort of like a land hagfish, to be honest. Siren. Very close.

He's good at this. He's getting good at this. Getting close. I don't even know what that animal is. All right. I told you where they live. I gave you all these clues. They have specialized adaptations for borrowing through soil and swimming through the water.

How do they borrow soil? Yeah, they go to their neighbor. I said borrow. I said borrow. I didn't say borrow. Did I say borrow? You always say borrow. Fuck.

Well, it's, I'm from Africa. I think he meant burrow. Oh, they burrow, bro, bro. This is fun. Special adaptations. Like, can you give us more on the adaptation? Yeah, they think of this, right? They're a limbless creature, as I mentioned.

Right. And they can still burrow, burrow through the soil and leaf litter and dive through the water. How do you burrow? So like you have, is it an appendage? But it's got. And they have a fantastic slime coating that protects them. And you already guessed hedgefish. But the hagfish is actually a fish.

It doesn't live in leaf litter. Correct. And it's in the ocean. Okay. Yeah. So that's all then. Okay. Keep going.

Something will get us there. This amphibious creature that has all of these unique specifications that I've mentioned is also one of the only amphibians that has very interesting paternal care behavior. They give birth to live young and even protect it. The male does? Yeah. What? Not interesting.

Well, the male doesn't give birth. The male protects it. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah. Is it a penguin? A penguin of some sort? No, it's not a penguin. It's an amphibian.

You said amphibious creature. fuck. I thought maybe siren or amphibate, but this one, no, I just, I got it. All right, let's sum it all up. Ready? Okay, you've got a long limbless creature. It borrows specially, see, I just want to keep saying it now, through the soil, through the leaf litter, into the water.

It's predatory. It has crazy backwards facing teeth to capture and consume its prey that it finds with its unique, an amazing sense of smell, and exhibits this parental care that it is unique. It's very bizarre. And wait till you see it. because our bizarre animal of the week is a Sicilian.

A Sicilian? Like from Sicily? Oh, it's like a millipede thing. That's an amphibia? Yeah, it's very close to a siren and amphiuma, which you mentioned. Right. The amphibum has little arms, though.

I don't know about the siren. This guy doesn't. Dude, I've never... Can I see a video of this? Yeah, Kyle, can you give us a couple? Look at the teeth. Holy crap. Yeah.

They get like seven feet long.

Bro, that's crazy. These things are, I've never seen this type of animal in my entire life. Can you get some, can you get Sicilian? I got to remember that. Oh, he's going to eat the frog? Probably. I think that frogs. Kyle, let's go get to Google images there.

And just type in large Sicilian or Central American Sicilian. The teeth look like glass. Yeah, they're crazy. And a bite from them's bad. See them protecting their eggs there? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're fascinating creatures. Have you ever handled one?

I have. Yeah, I've, uh, in. in the Amazon, I think, is where we found one. Wow, look at that. It says makes an amphibian that makes milk for its babies. Yeah, isn't that wild? Look at that. Look at the babies there. Isn't that crazy? I think if I came up on that, like in my backyard, I'd just puke. And then it opens its mouth.

Dude, look at that. Look at that. Smiling. Isn't that crazy, though? It is smiling at me. Dude, see, that's a great thumbnail. Keep that one. Put that as our thumbnail on this video. The what is this? What is this one? Yeah, I like that. That is bananas. That looks like something created by CGI.

Check this out. Check this out. Kyle, type in Sicilian for sale. Uh-oh. You can get them in the pet trade. Oh, get out of here. I've thought about it. I have.

You know that tank I have in my corner office? Yeah. I've thought about it. I think it would be an awesome thing to keep. Do they go? Adult giant Mexican Sicilian. Out of stock. $125.

Treat yourself. Treat yourself. You'll take good care of it. I will, but I don't need more pets. I've been done by. Pets for yours. There's no more buying pets. Somebody's going to send us one of these to the P.O. box. Good. Yeah. That's what. Let it live in the 98 degree P.O. box for a couple weeks.

It's funny. That, mate. So, Sunday, I'm flying to Florida with the family, two kids. Oh, yeah. It's your Key West trip, right? Yeah. One of them's a baby. Yeah. Tiny Tott. A baby. And a three-year-old. And starting yesterday, my house is being torn apart, ripped up the floors. Wait, what? I thought you're doing the pool. Now you're doing the house as well? Just doing the whole thing. I just said, fuck it. Let's make it a miserable summer.

Yeah, it will be. And I'm sure there'll be no fighting involved in that. No, so the whole kitchen's tarped off. The floor's ripped up. We're living in it for three more days. Oh, boy. Got a pack. All this shit.

The most stressful part of the trip is dealing with the pets. Oh, absolutely. Got to shuttle the cat over to this place. Got to take the dog over to this place. Got to make sure they got all their shit. I'm like, we need something less. Yeah. And like we should have had one less kid.

I was going to say one less child. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because the cat and the dog were there first. Yeah, that's only fair. You should have, you could still put one up for adoption. One of the kids? One of the kids, yeah. I mean, she's what?

She's eight months, nine months, six months. She's about six. Yeah, just go put her in front of the firehouse. Still very cute. I think you could, you could basket down the river, old school. Oh, yeah. Like Moses. Put a chicken in there.

Yeah. A nice note. Whoever finds her, finds her. Yeah. Oh, God, the horrible people. We are bad people. So, Kyle, what is this list? I need to know what you're doing here.

Yeah, so this is a list of the top ten smartest animals. Okay, but how is it? Like, what's the qualification? Just intelligence, general intelligence. Okay, as measured by who? AI. Some website? Google.

Some random website. All right. Let's have phone with this. Okay. According to BBC, I believe that is for the, British broadcasting company. I believe so. We all know BBC.

They do a lot of animal stuff. A lot of good stuff. I think probably the best. Yeah, definitely. All right. BBC science focus is the source. Okay. So we can...

Sounds believable. We can argue, you know, whatever. But this is according to BBC science focus. Okay. The ten most intelligent animals on Earth. Okay. I don't know how they measured it, but the rubric is. They made them do a rubik's cube.

But let's go one at a time. Just guess if it's on the list, you get a point. Let me go first so I can just burn an obvious one because I won't be able to think of anymore. Go. The chimpanzee. That is correct. It's got to be number one. Definitely on the list.

It's literally ranked number one on the list. So scroll to it when they guess. It's the only one I know. I only know popular things like this. So, yeah, it says that they have a great variety of tool use. They're excellent problem solvers, complex social hierarchies. It's on the list for us. What do you got?

I'm going to take one away from Peter Early, Octopus. That's correct. It is number three, according to BBC. I'm not sure. Yeah. They can break out of tanks. They're very aware. I mean, they're camouflage.

Clearly aliens. Yeah, clearly. I saw this amazing. Problem solving. Oh, God, I saw this amazing video on YouTube. They've used tools. Yeah, they use tools, dude. This guy set up, he bought an octopus from a pet shop.

And he... You know you could do that. Yeah, and the thing is, they actually, all the octop. supposed is that they sell at pet shops are taken out of the ocean. Okay. So they don't, like, breed them like that. And, uh, he, uh, he set up this giant maze tank with all these obstacles for it to get through.

Like it had to pull down a thing to get balls to come out, like all this crazy stuff. And, uh, and it was his, his thing was it had to get through this maze so it could return it, know that it was okay to be returned to the sea so it would live. Oh, interesting. That makes no sense. I got to show you guys this video. Okay. All right.

What else you got? Am I up still? Yeah, so far you each have one point. Uh, pig. Go ahead, Kyle. That's some bullshit. Don't argue with me. Are you with the BBC?

All right, I will, British Broadcasting Company. Send them a letter. I will. I'll send them a letter complaining about their lack of trained pigs. Pigs are said to have the intelligence of a four-year-old. I've heard this. Yeah. Yeah.

That should be on the list. Four-year-olds aren't that smart. No, but there's, this is true, but they're smarter than an octopus. us. So, you know. I would beg to differ on that. But anyways, I'm going to go with a crow. Yeah, it's on there.

Ding, ding. That is correct. What number? What do we got here? Number six. Nice. Says they learn very quickly suggesting four-month-old ravens could be as intelligent as some adult apes.

Wow. Interesting. That's crazy. They can plan for the future with tools they're taught to use by humans. Excellent memory. Remember human faces identifying. certain people as friend and others as foe. That's incredible.

Very good. And remembering it over time. I'm going to one up him. Can I one up him? Yeah. So he said crow and I wasn't thinking of birds, but I am now. Parrots. Hey, that's true.

There's no way. Sorry. There's no way. Come on BBC. Let me just say Kyle's wrong. It is on the list. Oh, you give himself an end. Eric, Kyle.

Yeah, number seven. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he says. Oh, yeah. I was very upset there. I was like two in a row. Oh, thank you, Kyle. Now he's happy.

I got extra dink. The African gray parrot is said to be the most accomplished talking bird. It also experiments have proven that they can understand words and perform cognitive tasks beyond a five-year-old human. So what number is this guy, two? Seven. Oh, where was the crow sitting? Six. Oh, damn it.

I didn't want up him. That's okay. I just like how Kyle, he made the text so small so you guys couldn't read it. Yeah. Fooled himself. Yeah, he got himself. Yeah. Fool me, can't be free.

All right. Here we go. I'm going big old mammal, but not like. Lots of hair. Elephant. Now, fuck off. BBC's an idiot. They mourn their dead.

They mourn their dead. Yeah, I'm with you, Peter. BBC's an idiot. Yeah. All right, there's a couple obvious ones that are still on here. I got one for you, dolphin. Yeah. Yeah.

That is on there. Dolphin and pig are the same, by the way. That's why I went pig first. They're the same. They're considered like the same level of intelligence by most people. Not by the BBC. No. Not by the BBC.

Dumb. I'm going to go. Hang on. Hang on. Let's give a little fact. Facts. We all know dolphins are smart, actually. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. I'm going to go dog. Go German Shepherd. Wow. That is a yes. Not German Shepherd.

They are adept at manipulating humans. They're very good at it. Yeah. My dog manipulates me constantly for treats. Totally. They have twice. This is just a shot at cats. Dogs have twice the number of neurons in their cerebral cortex that cats do.

and they're very easy to train. They can learn complex behaviors. Wow. So do you, are you saying dog not smarter than pig? No, that's bullshit. I want to have a talking to whomever put this list together.

What number is dog for? Wow. Oh, come on. A dog above crow and dolphin? Well, also if they're saying that a crow is as smart as a five-year-old human, then they're saying dogs are as smart as a six-year-old. Yeah, that's what I'm getting from.

They definitely did this with AI and had an, editor like read it. Just tweak it. How many left are there? There's two that I can think of. Okay. Pretty low hanging fruit here, buddy. Oh man.

Okay. Okay. Orca. No. No. Really? Yikes. I'm going to go just with like your, well, I mean, a monkey.

That's not specific. Orangetang? Yep. That is correct. That's not a monkey, but okay. Well, that was his fault. Well, I gave him another guess because monkey was not specific enough. It did jog by my memory, primate.

Okay. So this cites their ability to, in quotes, talk about the past. I don't know what it's referring to. It says a behavior otherwise only seen in humans. Wow. So essentially it said that in 2018, there was a study that Sumatra and orangutans saw a predator in the area and delayed their alert call by 20 minutes to not allow the predator to know that maybe the orangutan's babies were in the area.

That's pretty clever. Okay. That's pretty clever. So you're missing a very easy, obvious one. All right, I got it. Go ahead. Gorilla. That's correct? Oh, there we go.

Yeah. Well, you know. I just, I didn't know if they were doing more great apes because I was like, once they did chimp, I was like, oh, that's it. They're done with great apes. That was why I didn't guess anymore. But yeah, they're talking about Coco who learned sign language. A thousand hand signs and understood.

Two thousand. What are you, me? Yeah. We're just old decrepit. 2,000 words of spoken English. That's pretty impressive. That's very impressive. So would that, of course, I'm asking,

between these three primates, you have the orangutan, the, what do we say, gorilla? Guerrilla and chimp. And the chimp. What is their rank of smartness? Chimp, gorilla, orangutan. Wow. So the gorilla is in between me. I mean, how do they rank it?

I'm curious, but that's how I would rank it. They had chimp, orangutan, and then gorilla. Gorilla? The other way. I think it's the other way. I've heard that orangutan is the smartest primate. Chimp is known as the smartest. So maybe I got those two minutes.

There's two left. One you're just not going to, one is humans. So we're not going to, we're not going to guess that. There's one left and it's one you might not expect. Let's give it one solid guess. Can you give us like, is it an insect? Is it a mammal? It's an insect.

Okay. Is it a praying mantis? No. Oh. Is it a dragon fly? Oh, wow. Bumblebee. Oh my God, I love bumblebee facts, Kyle.

And it's number one on the list. So this is what it says. They can solve puzzles, exceptional navigational skills. Wow. An experiment found bees work out the optimal route to a flower with repeated visits, significantly reducing the time it takes to get there. Wow. Another experiment found they create mental images of objects like humans.

How can they tell that? Dude. It says that they could identify objects in the dark by touch if they had seen them before. That's interesting. I don't know how the bee tells you that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Dude, you know what I find just fascinating is that an octopus lives for like two years.

Yeah. Yet it's like crazy intelligent. If it lived for longer, it would be like number one on the list. But the bumblebee probably lives for what? Two weeks? No, but definitely not as long as two years. I'm curious. And it's like so it must just know these things.

Dude, don't read this new Google AI stuff. It's shenanigans. It's ridiculous. Four weeks, okay. Four weeks. But dude, to be that intelligent in four weeks as an insect is like just genetic? Do they, they must learn this stuff just super fast. So wild.

Did you guys ever see? I remember, I think Pat, maybe we wrote about this at one time. I don't remember what it was. It was like seven, eight years ago. And I thought it was going to like change the world. And this guy created little microchip backpacks for bees to track bee behavior and stuff. Do you know what I'm talking about? Do we ever talk about this?

No, I think. Look at this. Microchip Backpacks for bees. and this guy, because, you know, bees are just, here we go, bees with backpacks. Bees are disappearing, right? Like honeybees are disappearing. If all honeybees collapse, that's like a big deal. Yeah, yeah.

And we really, I mean, we know for the most part why bees are going away, but we don't really understand where or when or how and, you know, all this other stuff. So this company created these tiny little microchip backpacks that they were going to put on all of these bees and track all of their movements and their hive management and their social behavior. That's incredible. Yeah, because look, it's a $200 billion. annual global economy stimulus from bees pollinating crops and flowers.

Sure, yeah. 200 billion is a lot of billion. It's like 75% of the plants and one third of the food eaten by humans is pollinated by bees. Right. That's important that we have bees. That's like everything, yeah, pretty much. So I remember when this news came out that they were going to start tracking bees with these little microchip backpacks. And I was like, this is going to change the world.

We're going to figure out how to everything bees are doing, how to fix it, blah, blah, and then it just never heard anything about it again. So I took bio, a freshman year in college, before I switched majors, because it was too hard. And so one thing we had to do was, you know, you had to go to class, you take tests, but then you had to do like one optional full day immersive thing on just a topic. A lab. Yeah, but it was just one day. Okay. So you just go to like one eight hour thing.

Yeah. And it was on the weekend. So like you just had to like get it, you know. basically it was just like when are you not hung over and you go to this thing you sign in and then you take a little test at the end and so I went to like an eight hour thing on

the topic was altruism in bees oh wow interesting it was I don't remember anything yeah I don't remember anything except that I was like bees are the smartest animal on the planet this is fucking crazy and I was like engaged the entire time

and I was rarely engaged Yeah. But it's just crazy. Like it's really complex and like fascinating and it's an anomalous. The hive mind that I think we can't understand. Like bees don't operate as individual minds. They operate as a hive mind, which I just, I mean, they do. They also operate as individuals. But the power that they have is in the hive mind. I don't think we can comprehend that as such like individual organisms. It's like the, it's like the, my cordial network underneath the trees and shit. It's basically just a giant, you know, not a high mind, but like a network. Yeah, it's a neural network.

A giant brain. But dude, I will say regarding bees, I have like a weird, they get me emotional, man. When I see bees, I'm like, I love them more than my children. When I see it, when I see a dying bee on the ground, I get like sad. And I'm like, oh, man. My wife got stung by one in the neck last night on our couch while watching TV. Dude. Yeah.

My buddy called me that is one of my oldest friends from, uh, growing up a couple days ago. I was in the shower. And we rarely talk on the phone. Yeah. Like just when you guys are both in the shower? Like four times a year, we'll talk on the phone. And he calls me, I'm in the shower.

I'm like, I'm going to answer, see what he's got. And he's like, yo, he's like real quick, funny story. I was like, yeah, go ahead. He goes, yesterday I got stung by a bee in my asshole. Tell us more. So he, I said, what happened to just go up your shorts? he was chop he was chopping wood yep and like just went and like sat down on a log oh boy and just sat on a bee i was like were you nude but no it just stung him through his shorts

directly in his anus oh no yeah he said it was rough yeah that sounds really unpleasant also i don't know if everybody knows it or not but when a bee stings you you have to get the stinger out if you got stung through the shorts the shorts probably pulled the stinger out but yeah when a bee stings you it leaves its stinger behind with the venom sack. Right. And Kyle, maybe you can pull up an

image of a bee stinger. And if you don't, actually, this is really important for people to know if they don't know this. If you get stung by a bee, do not pinch it and pull it out.

Because if you do so, that venom sack that you can see there in the image if you're watching and not just listening. Yeah. You will pinch that like you're pinching a syringe or a water balloon. It'll eject more venom into you.

What you want to do is take your fingernails and go to the shaft of the stinger and lift up. So see it there on the guy's skin? Yeah. You want to actually lift it up and away because if you want to do you you pinch it and pull it out, you're just pushing all that venom through like a syringe. Through a syringe

and the sting gets 10 times worse. Wow. Whoa. That's super interesting. They don't have a pumping mechanism. That's why it disassembles like bees die once they sting, right? Because their organs actually get pulled out and everything else. They don't have a pumping mechanism. So if you pinch it, you're injecting more venom into yourself. Whereas if you take your fingernails or a knife blade or something and lift it up and out, sometimes you get

barely any venom and it's like a thorn. But if you do what most people do is go oh shit and like grab it or push at it, you're just pushing all that benefit. Right. Yeah. You kind of want to, you go, yeah, shit. That's your reaction, right? You twitch and you're like, ah, and you grab it.

Yeah. That's part of the genius, man. You know what I do. What's that? Whenever I get stung, because I did know that. Yeah. What do you do? Pull up my fucking leatherman.

Yeah. Use the knife blade. Yeah, just pop it right off. Scrape it out. It's the way to go. This has been fun. Real fun. This has been fun.
