My buddy Chad hates when I do that because he listens to every pod. Yeah, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Because I scream in his ears. He tells me he's sitting on his mower when he listens to the podcast. What are you doing? What? Okay. I thought that was purely for decoration. I like it. I'll have a whiskey.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Why not? He's unhinged. Okay. Not a sponsor? No, but it is very good whiskey. Guys, it's a new year. We got to start the year off. with, you know, our livers know it's a new year as well, right?
Starting point is 00:01:42 It's been the new year for several weeks, but sure. You know what I'm saying. So you're still not back on the wagon? I am and that's why I need this today. That's why I need this. Okay. Well, this is the Wild Times podcast where we're apparently sip whiskey and hang out and talk. I'm your host, Forrest Galante, joining me, Pat and Peter.
Starting point is 00:02:02 That's the intros. Well, how are you doing, Patrick? Doing great. Yeah? What's been going on in life? you're back to work after the big break here at the end of January. Back to work, making TV. What are you working on?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Anything, any adventurous? Nope. Nothing adventurous, just like terrible commercials. What about Quile? Is Quile having some whiskey? Quile. Is that me? Are you old enough for whiskey?
Starting point is 00:02:26 Yes. That joke never gets old, by the way. I have no idea how old Kyle really is. I think he's 18. I was guessing closer to 16. What's the answer? 29. Nah, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:02:41 This is the Wild Times podcast. I didn't know we were doing this. It's pre 10 a.m. by the way, anybody watching at home? That's quite a large pour there, Patrick. Mine? Is mine bigger than his? Well, not a chance. It's a weird glass.
Starting point is 00:02:53 No, I'd say, you know, people want us to get back to our roots. We've been doing this podcast now. This will be literally the fifth year in March. It'll be five years. If you would ask me how long we've been doing this, I would have said a year and a half. We said 18 months about. But so back in the day before we kind of like knew what the hell we were doing, didn't know what this podcast would be anything. We drank every time just to get through it, get together, hang out and drink, you know.
Starting point is 00:03:17 And then we had kids. You can't drink when you have kids all the time and shit. But today we're going to make an exemption. We go home to our wives. We say today, I will not be taking care of the children. I worked all day. Peter's been thinking about this because there was zero hesitation to getting into this. By the way, not a sponsor, but for a $30 bottle of whiskey,
Starting point is 00:03:36 you whistle pig's great. It's delicious. Very smooth. It's very smooth. Easy to drink. I'm a fan. And it has pig. And this is an animal podcast. Well, Kyle just made me feel bad about how much I poured. So I'm going to take it slow. You seem to get to drink and. You seem nervous about this now.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah. It was always fun on the older podcast, too, because Forrest, as manly as he seems, absolutely can't handle his booze. It's true. And I remember specifically, we did a pod with Laura Zira. It's on there in a playlist. Our guest pod playlist. got so hammered. He was at Laura's house. Oh yeah. I was obliterated. It was bananas. Dude, dude, nothing was as bad as when Mitch came on the pod, though. Do you remember that? Because I told him, he was like, I was like, dude, yeah, it's fun. You just hang out. We drink. We all get fucked up.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Like, he's like, cool, cool, cool. So he got like legitimately blacked out before the pod started. His wife was banging pots and pans in the background. It was just a disaster. I think people like it. I think people like that shit. All right. What we got going on? How's the start to your guys here? far. What's news? Well, I mean, we're a couple weeks in. What's, are things good? I'm going, I've got a story. What do you go? I got, I'm definitely not supposed to talk about this. Good thing I've had one sip of whiskey and I'm unhinged. You're completely off the rails. I'm going to Columbia tomorrow. Really? Sure am. What? I'm just going to get a new wife. How? What's definitely on host? I am going to catch Pablo Escobar's hippos.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Oh, really? Yep. What? That's ludicrous. We need a lasso? I am not. No, we have a whole process. But yeah, no, I'm working with the Colombian government and we are capturing and castrating as many of the cocaine hippos as we can. We'll be down there for a couple weeks. Yeah. Building Bomas. What's that? Boma is like a cow, pull up a picture of a Boma. It's like a on-land trap, like a funnel trap almost that you like trick animals into going into. So building on the ground bomas like that, baiting the hippos in, closing the bomas, tranquilizing them, and then castrating them. What's the bait? What's the bait? What's the, hippo bait. Bales of hay. Really? Watermelons, bales of hay. I've definitely seen them eat
Starting point is 00:05:42 the watermelons. That's a great video. I thought that was only to show how big they can make their mouth. No, they do. They do love it. But yeah, that's a, it's a project that I've wanted to do for many, many years. You've talked about this for a long time. Yeah. Well, we've talked about on the pod, like, several times, how would you catch the hippos? And now you're actually getting to do it. Now we're doing it. Working with Kornar, which is the Colombian government. Yeah. And, yeah, helping with this whole plan and, and creating a blueprint for how to do castration. And so you...
Starting point is 00:06:10 Who's going to cut off the cocks? Moi? Your Leatherman? I brought this. I hope it's more scientific than that. No, it's not. I'm just going to throw a sharpened boomerang at their genital area. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I hope it does the right job. No, we have a vet. We have a vet down there from Kornar from the Colombian government. I have all my tranquilizer stuff. We have all the building materials are on the ground ready to go. We're doing it. Now, so this obviously will make them in fertile, which will stop the reproducing of the hippos.
Starting point is 00:06:41 How many hippos did they start with in the beginning? Is it four or six? Damn, only four six. It's crazy out a couple of cups of whiskey and I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, but still. It started with either four or six. And now there's, I think it says online that there's 140, but there's over 200. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:57 And that was, do you know about how long ago? 70s? When did his? In the 70s. Four hippos. Four hippos in the 70s. And so now basically you're cutting off all the mails or as many as you can. As many as we can get.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I'm only there for two weeks. So it's more about creating a procedure. You know, like creating a blueprint for how to do it all. And how did you get permission? So I've been in contact with Kornar, which is the government in Colombia, the wildlife governing body, like their fishing game for, geez, probably four years doing this, like talking about it. And, yeah, it's kind of a confluence of things. But the guy who was my, like, main contact, who I really, really like, moved up to become the head of Kornar.
Starting point is 00:07:44 So he, like, reached back out to me not that long ago and was like, hey, I'm like the boss. I'm like El Hefe now if you want to come and do this. And I was like, I've always wanted to do this. And so, yeah, I mean, it worked out timing wise because I have a show that I can fit it under. Oh, wow. So you're doing this and this will be an episode of the show. Yeah, exactly. For a Discovery show that.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I'm doing right now. Oh, dude, that's awesome. So we'll all be able to watch this adventure. Well, I assumed you were doing it for YouTube. No, this is for TV. Yeah. So we'll see it in like 2028. Yeah, probably. Yeah. By the time TV has completely died. Where on some network that doesn't exist right now? Can you say what the show is? Uh, yeah, maybe. It's a Discovery Channel show. It's a three-parter and it's about, um, I don't want to get into the weeds too much, but it's about the effects that the drug industry has had on wildlife. Ah, okay. So it's not cocaine bear, but it's like how have illegal substances impacted wildlife across the globe? What a fucking perfect fit. Oh, totally. It's just right in the wheelhouse. Dude, so this is the same show where you had a bear guy in costume.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yes, yeah. Remember bear guy in costume? I talked about what a disaster. By the way, just saw the cut of that literally yesterday. Uh-huh. Didn't make one scene. The bear? Did not make the fucking I think he would have. $5,000 fucking bear guy, dude, didn't make one frame of the show. Just a miserable.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Did we talk about this on a public pot or just on a bonus? It was a bonus. Oh, dude. We'll just tell people to tune in. No, it's too good to share. Okay, but we got to just give a little background. You hired a bear, a guy in a bear costume.
Starting point is 00:09:19 We're doing, so for context, before all the crazy and naysayers get out of hand, we're doing a show on recreations. So we had a bear that had to recreate these crazy scenarios that bears had been. in, again, due to, like, drugs and alcohol and things like that. And we had a bear who wasn't an actor bear, but he was a bear that was like a pet, basically. So he was somewhat trained. You called in a favor to a bear, a guy who owned a beer. A guy who I know owns a rescue bear. Bear did about 20%
Starting point is 00:09:46 of the stuff we wanted him to do. So in like a desperate panic, 48 hours before we wrapped the shoot, I hired a bear suit actor from L.A. who showed up with the most horrendous bear suit you've ever seen. I literally looked like a yogi the bear. Dude, on the bonus pod, he shows like, behind the scenes video of this, you will not stop laughing. I was honestly wheezing laughing. It was so funny. No, the best part is you're like, okay, get down on all fours and he's like, what? I didn't bring the four-legged bear suit. It's only a two-legged bear suit. He's the bipedal bear. I'm like, who has ever wanted a two-legged bear? In what scenario has anyone ever wanted this. For like thousands of dollars. Thousands of dollars. He charged us an
Starting point is 00:10:30 overage too because it was a last minute thing. Oh, dude. But imagine like you order such a debacle. A two-legged bear is like for your kids party and like, okay, like maybe you pay a couple hundred bucks for this guy to come out and hug the kid. Right. For an Amazon costume bear. This is like an awkward. It's the equivalent of when I went to the park dressed as Elmo. Correct. It's exactly. That's what showed up to act for us. Yeah. It was bonkers. So that's, that's, it's so funny. So, That show, when does it actually come out that one? Who fucking knows, dude?
Starting point is 00:11:00 I'm not even joking. No, I would say it's probably like a Q2 show. I'm excited to watch. Kyle, press the button because speaking of bears... What's in the news? From the underground. Okay, thank you for the jing. Of bears, I've got a piece of bear news.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Burr news. That is incredibly important. Okay. Say more. It's as big as they discovered an extent population of short-faced bears. Wow. Wow. This is big. This is big. But it happened in Virginia.
Starting point is 00:11:34 In Lunenburg County. Oh, of course. Yeah, Lunenberg. Some guys were out bear hunting in Lunenburg. And they treat a bear. Okay. Climmed a bear. Or climbed a tree.
Starting point is 00:11:48 A gentleman. That's the correct terminology. Shot the bear while it was in the tree. Uh-huh. The problem was he was standing right under the bear. No. That's a big projectile. Oh, my, the bear fell on him.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Yeah. Oh, dude, I love this. The bear's getting vengeance from beyond. In death. Well, it's actually, I mean, it's incredibly sad, obviously. Yeah, it's awful. A father of five who had eight grandchildren died. Oh, I thought you meant for the bear.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Eight grandchildren. Yeah. But this is not the first time this has happened. In 2018, 2019, it happened in Alaska and North Carolina, where hunters were, were killed by their own falling bear. Dude, this is like the guy that climbs the Christmas tree to cut his own Christmas tree and then start sawing below him. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:37 It's like, come on, guy. Like, I get it sad. I'm sorry you're a family man. One, you shouldn't have been hunting bears. Two, like, don't stand under the bear. Agree. There's no way, it's like, it's not that confusing. I've said this many times before on the pod.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Like, if you're going out and you're trying to kill something and you're, you get injured or hurt, that's, that's the name of the game. Like, you can't, it's not even fair or fun. Like, if you're just going out with no risk, it's like, F you! Like, there's got to be some danger. Like, you know, so people who are out hunting bears now know that it's dangerous. They don't know, because this has happened three times. Well, three times since 2018 that we know of.
Starting point is 00:13:18 It will continue to happen. By the way, if we're ever out and I shoot a bear and it falls on me. Yeah. It falls on my head and I die. tell people that I that I already done fentanyl that it mauled me to death just please do it just say anything else
Starting point is 00:13:35 imagine being his buddy because I'm guessing he had a hunting buddy standing next to him and he was like Frankie Frankie are you okay buddy right before he let off the shot he was probably facing the other way and he hears he looks over he's like what are you doing it's got to go out of you no I don't think so you think there was that much forethought to it I think it has to be chaos though because how
Starting point is 00:13:55 it's in like how do you just shoot something that's directly above you? My guess is he had to get a clear shot right? So he's like moving around. He's like the bear is treed. But it's chaotic and there's adrenaline happening. Definitely. Definitely. It's also
Starting point is 00:14:09 But dude like this that picture you just painted I feel like is bullshit. It's bear shit. Dude it gets worse. I fucked up. I fucked up. No, it gets worse. He did have a buddy. His buddy was the one who shot the bear. Is that a, is that a, is that a murder?
Starting point is 00:14:25 So in other words, like Peter's standing over there and I shoot the bear and it lands on Peter. He's so focused on getting that bear that he doesn't notice that forest is standing right there. That's worse. That manslaughter. I don't think, I don't think so because, actually, I don't know, dude. Definitely bear slaughter. If you kill somebody in a car accident and you're stone sober, that's still manslaughter. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Well, I think it's like if you like have wet paint out on your stairs and your stairs and your mailman trips and falls and dies, I think you can get manslaughter. Absolutely. I think you can. You definitely can. Kyle, can you put a pin in this. I'd love to come back to it later and see what happens to this guy. But it's put a pin in there.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I mean, the buddy's definitely torn up about it. It's not like you wanted this to happen. What do you think the family thinks, man? Oh, fuck that. Who was it Dick Cheney that, like, shot his friend with a shotgun? Totally. Like, you got to be, okay, these are the people that are walking around with high power weapons, by the way.
Starting point is 00:15:24 like people who would do something like this and not just take a look how high could the bear have been, right? That you don't see your body also. 200 or 150 pound bear lands on your head. There's nothing you can do. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I'm just saying like the bear is maybe what, 20 feet in the tree? Like is the guy completely out of your view here on the bottom of it? You don't see him standing there? It's just chaos like Pat said. It's adrenaline, the tree bears in the tree. You have a shot.
Starting point is 00:15:52 You take the shot. And then the bear, I don't like people hunting. Like, do people hunt bears as sport? Yeah. I don't like that. What's up with that? I don't agree with it either.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Some people do, no, but people hunt black bear and do eat it. Yeah, but I've eaten it. It's not like, it's like one of those things where you're like, yeah, black bear's good eaten. You're like, you're saying that because you want to kill a black bear. Not because it eats good. You know what I mean? Yeah. How hard could it be to get a bear?
Starting point is 00:16:20 You can eat a fucking shoe if you want. You can be like, I stewed the shoe all night. It's like, great. But did you need to kill the? shoe. You know what I mean? It's like the same guy, like you didn't need to eat the bear. Shoes stew. Yeah, but I don't know. Like there are places where bears
Starting point is 00:16:33 are overpopulated. I'm not going to argue with that. But I get that. Yeah. But like just going out and sport hunting a fucking bear that is running away from you and hiding in a tree is like fuck off. I don't get the appeal. I get the appeal of deer hunting. I really do. Or boar hunting or something. And you're like the meat's really good. Like, bore
Starting point is 00:16:50 in a particular is an invasive. Oh my God. The boar that you brought. I knew you guys were going to say it. It was the best. So we had our... Patrick's hyperventilating over there. I'll let you go. You're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Oh, no, I was just going to say we didn't... Yeah, for our little wild times Christmas gathering for us brought wild boar and cheddar. Cheddar jalapeno. Cheddar jalapeno. That's right. Oh, my gosh. It was unbelievable. By the way, I thought it was super interesting the story that you told about how you acquired the bore and how much you have of the bore.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah. It's great. Tell, retell that story. Yeah. Yeah, I went with some friends. So, hey, this is an ad, but don't skip it. It's the best way to support the podcast. If you listen, we try to bring you great content, make you laugh.

Starting point is 00:20:47 Hearst Ranch is, I think it's the largest private ranch in the state of California. It's huge property. and they grow a lot of crops, obviously, being a large private ranch. And they have a massive feral pig issue, like super destructive feral pig issue. So a buddy of mine manages that population. Like he tries his best to eradicate the pigs and manage the farm. The pigs do a lot of damage to ground squirrels, all kinds of stuff. So he called me one day and he's like, can you come help with this project?
Starting point is 00:21:14 I think we talked about it on the pod. Maybe we didn't. I don't remember. A long while ago, we were in a helicopter? No, no, no. I went up. We were on horseback. but I just went up and helped him for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah. And between myself, him and like the five other people that were there, we got six, no, eight pigs. Eight, we knocked eight pigs down. And we could have done like a lot more damage, but we're trying to get like the big breeder pigs because that's what helps control the population. And they typically just like leave the pigs out for the coyotes or whatever because he, you know, he like shoots him every week kind of thing. And so, not every week, but enough that it's not, it's not novel to him like it is to me. Sure. So he's like, yeah, we're not going to do anything with the pigs.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I was like, can I have them? He's like, yeah, sure thing. So I took all eight pigs, gutted him, and loaded him in the bed of my truck. So what is that? Four thousand tons of meat? How much is that? The biggest one was like 480 pounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 It's a lot of me. It took a lot of people to put them in the truck. So there were some big pigs. Yeah. So put them all in the bed of my truck. And then driving home, I found, uh, see if you can find this, Kyle. Uh, bills? No, a Tascadero butchery.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Type that in, like wild animal butchery. This tiny little hole in the wall, man. is awesome. It's called like Bill's butcher shop or something like that. Ben's, there it is. Ben's custom meat cutting. Nice little local business helping out. A dad and son. Dad's probably in a 70s. Son's in like his late 40s. That's it. You're looking at it. Wow. That's a house. Yeah. That's Ben's right there next to the grain silos. And I pulled in with the truck. Where does you keep the human bodies? He pulled in with the truck, met, met Ben. And so you called in advance. He said I got eight pigs coming in. Yeah. And he wasn't even.
Starting point is 00:22:51 motely shocked or concerned. He was like, yeah, no problem. And I was like, cool, like, I'll be there in 40 minutes. He's like, no problem. He's ready, waiting there with his butcher's apron on. He hangs him up in his chilling thing. And then he's just got this crazy menu of stuff on the walls that he can do with wild game. Sausages and whole hams and ribs and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:23:10 So I had him do a bunch of different stuff. And then of all of it, by far, the cheddar jalapeno sauce. It was so good. Stand alone. So how many pounds of meat did you leave with? probably over a thousand. Jesus. I have two stand-up freezers in my garage filled with it.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's the only... So I've talked about this before on the pod, but I'll re-emphasize it. I'm not like pro-hunting. I love spearfishing. I'm not against hunting, but I'm not like a sport... I'm not a trophy hunter.
Starting point is 00:23:37 But I fully believe in sustainable harvest, especially when it comes to eating invasive species. Sure. Almost exclusively the protein that we eat at my house is protein that I catch. Right. And that includes, you know, I didn't catch all these pigs.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I got one of those pigs or maybe it was two. Yeah. But that is, I have a thousand pounds of wild boar in my freezer. Hey, it's a bonus when you're eating an invasive species. 100%. It was so delicious. I said, and it was not hyperbolic, is the best sausage I've ever tasted. I mean, by many magnitudes.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And everyone agreed. Yeah. So you bring in a thousand pounds of meat. So you're not actually paying for the meat. You're paying for the butchering services. Yeah. He's adding spices and ingredients. Correct.
Starting point is 00:24:17 What do you charge if you don't mind me asked? It was a lot. It was $600. Yeah, but for a thousand pounds of meat, 60 cents a pound? That's the thing. I remember it was 600 bucks. Maybe that's, yeah, it was 600 bucks.
Starting point is 00:24:29 That's a lot of work too, by the way, for eight pigs. It took him like three weeks, by the way. Like, he called me in like three weeks. He's like, your stuff's ready. It was all frozen and, you know, ready to go. But like, packaged it up for you. All package, frozen, like, processed, amazing. So good.
Starting point is 00:24:42 And then, yeah, I like did the math and I was like, damn, 600 bucks. Like, I don't spend 600 bucks on steaks or a nice dinner. Like, that's just not, what my family does. Yeah. But then I was like, Jesus Christ, am I really going to drive an hour
Starting point is 00:24:53 and a half and pay 600 bucks? And then break it down. Like that pack of sausages was like 40 bucks. No, like four bucks. As long as you got the space and had the freezer, it's like,
Starting point is 00:25:04 well, I didn't. I had to go buy a second freezer. How much was the second freezer? I, Craigsler. I Facebook marketplaceed a chest freezer because I didn't have enough space
Starting point is 00:25:11 in my freezer for 40 bucks. Oh, dude, that's nothing. And by the way, again, the caliber of the sausage was great. say this. My wife has been,
Starting point is 00:25:21 she found a local person who sells eggs, right? Yeah. And it's five bucks for a dozen eggs, which is like now par for the course unless you're getting like the cheapest eggs. How much? Five bucks for a dozen. So they're now, eggs are like two, three bucks with the way of grocery store.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah, so for, they're even more expensive for like the, and these eggs. Black box organics. Oh, dude. We all know the one. Like $10 for a fucking 10. Yep. But so dude, these eggs, like at first I was annoying. I was like, why do you have to, like, why is it? Just get the very cheapest, the two hours.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Oh, oh, no. But then she's been making the eggs and I was like, God damn, these eggs are so good. It's incredible the difference that comes from, whether it's just fresh or local, I'm not sure. I think maybe it's because it's fresh. Like, because even the eggs that you get at the store are probably already a month old before they get there or something. And they're just grain fed and full of antibiotics. And the yolks are like yellowish white and the ones you get. I better orange.
Starting point is 00:26:19 They're so good. Dude, and it's such a bartering tool, too. Like having all this stuff, I mean, it sucks because I travel and work so much. I don't get to dive and fish and do all the things I love as much anymore at the moment. And then there's kids and everything else. But like, I remember, man, whatever it was like four or five years ago when I did, when Rogan was still in this area. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I drove down and I'd just been lobster diving like two days before and I took him four fresh lobsters. And I don't even know if he eats lobster. But I was just like, hey, thanks for having me. It was like the second time we were already buddies and texting and stuff at that point. And I brought him those four lobsters. He's like, dude, he's like, thank you so much. And he went, he gave me 40 pounds of elk. I remember that. I was like, oh my God, this is the biggest score of my life. Like 40 pounds of fresh elk,
Starting point is 00:27:02 like hadn't even been frozen yet. And it was like, unbelievable. I was telling people I was like, I ate Joe Rogan's elk. Did I bring some down? I don't remember. Yeah, we ate it at your house. Oh, nice. Yeah, dude. It was like the biggest score ever. And I've never shot an elk. I, not something I probably will do. But it was, that meat was so incredible. Oh, so good, dude. It's so much better. And also, you're like supporting the local, of the local ecosystem. And when you go to these
Starting point is 00:27:26 small businesses like the butcher and my wife with the eggs, you're supporting, like, actual people in the community. And we're so far away from that in the world. 100%. Yeah. Kyle? Canoes. Canoes? Didn't we already do this? We did it. Did we already do? Oh, we did. Yeah. And to have some more
Starting point is 00:27:44 booze. You know what? I'm not. I'm actually. I'm going to have a magic mind because I'm feeling kind of silly. Good call. Yeah. A little upper, a little downer. I mean, I need some clarity and some focus.
Starting point is 00:27:55 There you go. Love magic mind. Okay, so speaking of harvesting your own meat, let me ask you this. I bet Pat's going to know where I'm going with us. We'll see. Would you eat a giant rat? No.
Starting point is 00:28:07 No? I might. A giant rat could be good. I'm talking giant. I'm talking 40-pound rod. I feel like that's not really a rat. So, yeah, I would eat it. Well, it's not.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It's a Nutria. And the reason I did this as a watch in the news, first time I've ever heard of it, but it says returned, Nutria, if you live in the Bay Area, meaning San Francisco, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:25 You go out and shoot yourself a Nutria these days. Oh, wait, are these the ones that you went down to, like, Louisiana and we're shooting with the cops? Yeah, not with the cops, but, uh, fishing game, right? Uh,
Starting point is 00:28:35 no, it's just because they have a bounty in Louisiana. So anyone can just go out and you kill Nutria, cut the tail off, and then you bring it in. And I think back then it was six bucks a tail. But they, people eat them, right? Kyle, look up Nutria
Starting point is 00:28:48 recipes. This is a thing, right? You eat Nutria. We didn't. So these things are, these things have now come back across. They used to be a problem in the Bay Area and now they're back. I'd eat that. You tell me you wouldn't eat that taco? Dude, that was dry as fuck. It's got cobwebs on it. It needs,
Starting point is 00:29:04 here's the problem. They didn't do it in the crock pot. I can tell you right now that needs to, that's a crocbrook rat. That guy, that Nutria rats been smoking for a decade. But, dude, Nutria are a huge problem in Louisiana. They're incredibly. destructive, they basically just tunnel underground instead of just making a den. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Right? So they're constantly just cruising through the fucking ground and chewing through all the saplings of the Cypress trees and whatnot. And now they're in San Francisco. I had no idea. Which like I get it in Louisiana. I've been to that part of Louisiana. It's hot.
Starting point is 00:29:33 It's sticky. It's swampy. It's kind of like South America. Yeah. San Francisco? Like what? How did these guys get up there? Contra Costa County.
Starting point is 00:29:40 No shit. I'll be up there next week. Can you zoom in on this a little bit? Kyle. I'm curious to see how they got up there. because, you know, what's the theory? Close to a thousand Nutri have been hunted down in California already. I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:29:54 They've spread to Contra Costa County posing a critical, aristocrity. How do you think they would have... That's the thing. That's what they're fucking up in Louisiana. It's all the watersheds. How do you think they would have gotten up there for us? So they're obviously, I don't know how they got there. I don't even know how they got introduced.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Let's look it up. I wonder if they were farmed for pelts or something. But so that area obviously has the Delta, the Sacramento Delta. right and so that's that's the watershed that they're going to be able to prolificate through proliferate what did I say prolificate that was the bourbon it's fornicate plus got it yeah so how the hell did they get up here so they were they were introduced to the US for the fur trade yeah that's right um there was like a rumor and I remember we covered this for a show I was doing for National Geographic but unclear if it's true I believe but that it was originally
Starting point is 00:30:43 brought in by the founder of Tabassas Oh, really? Yeah, and that for fur. Yeah, I mean, he needed himself a nice rat skin coat. Yeah. Who doesn't? It keeps you very warm. Ugly little buggers.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And each one can create 39 offspring per year. Good Lord. And they eat a quarter of their body weight and mostly like tree roots. That's crazy. So, Kyle, what does it say? Are they expecting that these little buggers are going to become a big problem in San Francisco? Yeah, apparently there are some of them.
Starting point is 00:31:14 articles are saying that it's, you know, they're already to the point where they can't get rid of them. They're established. Damn. And they can't get rid of them in Louisiana either. I mean, you're going to have to do a fucking bounty. Yeah. It's the only thing you can do it. But there's nobody's going to do it.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Like in Louisiana. Our gun laws are a little different in California. Yeah. Oh, but but so Sam Sheridan who was the host of this show for National Geographic, who was a super smart guy as an author and fucking crazy. guy lived in Antarctica for a year. Oh, cool. He's had a lot of cool life experience. He was the host of that show, and he went out hunting the Nutria rat.
Starting point is 00:31:53 And he was collecting the rats, and the guys were going to cut the tails off, right? Yeah. And he got this fucking gnarly rash. Oh, interesting. It's called Nutriah Itch. And it was bad, dude. And it lasted, I think it lasted like a couple weeks. Ew, so they carried disease around. I don't want rat it. Yeah, Google Nutria Itch. It sounds terrible,
Starting point is 00:32:13 man. I'll say this, though. The only reason I know, look at that shit. That looks, that looks gross. He got that. So for those of you who aren't that's watching, it looks like smallpox. Yeah, it's gnarly. That is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:32:25 It's so, it's so boyley. Yeah. I was disgusted by him. Come and take a look at the YouTube if you guys are just listening. You really got to see this so you can pew. So, Kyle, they're saying that this is already to the point where it's fucked. Yeah, just because of their rate of reproduction.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, it is in the Delta. though, it's what I was saying. Yeah, it's terrible. The only reason I know... I mean, dude, the Nutriot problem exacerbated the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Yeah. Wait, how so?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Just because the trees were not there? Yeah, because they're fucking... They're fucking up the Cyprus. I mean, humans fucked up the defense wall that the Cyprus provided. Yeah. We fucked it up. We logged the shit out of it.
Starting point is 00:33:06 But what's remaining is being really decimated by... It's not to say that Hurricane Katrina wouldn't have had horrible effects. it still would have. But if it made it five or 10% worse, because this fucking invasive fat rat. Yeah, these guys kind of suck, man.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I mean, like, so these were brought over. The only reason I was going to say that I know what these are is because there's an episode of Seinfeld. Have you guys seen this one? No. Where Elaine is spending money on the company credit card, and she has to justify why she bought all these things. And one of them is a hat that she buys,
Starting point is 00:33:43 and she paid several thousand dollars for it. And Jerry is in with his friend's restaurant, and he's got the hat on just because it's raining. He starts shaking it around. Oh, there's the hat. Yep, start shaking it around, and all the fur starts coming off all over the place in the restaurant into people's food.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And when she tries to justify it, she's like, it's a Nutria, this Nutria hat. And she's like, what's that? She's like, it's a type of rat. And at the same time, it cuts to Jerry doing it at the restaurant. and the fur's just going into people's foods and shit. Nasty. But that's why I know what a Nutriot is.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Kyle, if we show that picture, is Larry David going to sue us? Yes. That's so wild, man. No, that one's near and dear to me just because I,
Starting point is 00:34:29 it's something I paid attention to because I did an episode. Yeah, yeah. You've met them in person. I have. Their teeth are incredible strange. I've never seen one. Really?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah. Did you guys know that? YouTube content for you. Yeah, true. Did you guys know that ostriches eat rocks? Yes. How? Why? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:34:47 Well, what's up with that? Pretty much every bird. They're called, what's the name of it? Not a gallstone. What's the name of the stone? There's a name for the stone that birds eat to aid in digestion. Okay. They eat these stones that they keep the stones in their gullet.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Yeah. And then they use the stones as teeth. Oh, because they don't have teeth. Right. It crushes up and grinds the grain that they eat. How fascinating is that? Are you kidding me? Yeah, but still, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Nobody talks about it. That's true. Dude, speaking of Big Bird, sorry. And then I want to play this game. Oh, yeah. It's called a tease. We're going to play a game. Do it, maybe.
Starting point is 00:35:22 So I forgot to ask you this in the last pod right after I'd been to the zoo. My favorite thing that they actually do have at the LA Zoo, not the bait and switch elephants. Yeah. The non-existence. Is the cassoary enclosure. Oh, boy. So they had one, there's two casuaries in different enclosures that were separated. one was fucking huge.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Okay. The other one was smaller. Like, it was probably half the size, both adults. Northern or Southern? Do you know? Ah, shit. Super yellow or not much yellow on them? Exactly this.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Okay. Black, bluehead, it's Southern. Yep. Was the one that you encountered in Australia on Extincter Alive, a big cassowary or a small one? Huge. Full grown, massive. Watching that thing from across the fence, by the way, it's like a four-finding. foot tall fence. So obviously they don't have the power of jumping. Yep.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Because you're just right there. They're gnarly, dude. I could not believe how intimidating it was. My daughter was scared of it. Yeah. And then I heard another kid tell his dad that he was scared of it. They just didn't want to go near to it. Dude, it is a fucking terrifying creature up close. It's essentially a modern dinosaur. It's like a velociraptor. They really are just like
Starting point is 00:36:39 velociraptor. So I, for the first time, got to interact with a southern, sorry, a northern cassowary at Ventara, that zoo place in, or it's not a zoo. I've never heard of it. What? No, I'm just kidding. Oh, okay. It's all we've talked about from past seven ponds.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Well, I think it's incredible and I've been going there a lot, but I just think Kyle the video because I've never seen the northern before, which is much more colorful. Whoa, yeah. Can you do the audio, Kyle or not? Wow, dude. Look at this thing. Listen, listen, I'm not, one of them has the sound. Wishing you could be there live for the big.

Starting point is 00:38:23 Was that you? I think that's me talking about No that's someone with an Aussie accent boy Oh Well Play it again Oh my god That's incredible
Starting point is 00:38:33 How loud is it It's hard to tap through the phone I mean not deafening but very loud Like holy shit And what's that call? Was that an intimidation Yeah so he like I was walking
Starting point is 00:38:44 through an area and he came bolting over and then like jumped up and kicked the fence like you saw on that one photo and I nearly fell over because I was like not expect I didn't even know what was in the enclosure yeah I was very close to poop in my pants and and um and then yeah and then I stood there like looking at him and first he was doing that that first video where he was like kind of pecked through the fence and side eyeing me yeah and then he just cocked his head back and let out that belch and I was like that's insane dude they are I know we've talked You talked about your close encounter on Extincter Alive and whatnot, but just seeing one up close, man, I could, I just, they are, it's as scary to me as a
Starting point is 00:39:25 fucking big male gorilla. Yeah. Oh, they're an absolute dinosaur. Incredible specimen to see. I saw, I saw this video that somebody put out that recreated the scene in Jurassic Park where the kids are hiding in the kitchen and the velociraptors are coming in through the doors. Yeah, it's that.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Yeah. Dude, and they... What do you mean they recreated it? What's why? So they recreated the scene and made the velociraptors how they actually looked, and they had feathers and shit. Oh, interesting. So it looked like the Cassowary...
Starting point is 00:39:56 Well, right, theoretically, but it looked like the cassowary when these things came in. Yeah. And, I mean, the face, though, and the eyes, it's 100% bird. Bird is 100% dinosaur, you know? It does feel that way when you look at it. Dude, I was trying to see if I... Did I... Have I ever told the story of my turkeys?
Starting point is 00:40:13 I've heard many of your turkey stories. Let's real quick before we segue. I have a question. Sure. I want to segue to your turkey. No problem. So we're there and we're looking at them and it's one of the few things that was out. So we spent some time viewing it.
Starting point is 00:40:28 It was just pacing around. It was just, it was looking for stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rocks probably to eat. But so that, you know, the kids is like, yeah, dad, that's scary. And then dad was like, he knew about them. Yeah. He was like, these are really aggressive.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And I was like, I really wanted, even though I wasn't there when the caswary happened, to pretend I was and tell them the story. And I was like, do I talk to a stranger and lie at the same time? Yeah, it's the best way. Just leave them alone. Let it go. Let it go. Yeah, that's funny. Lying the strangers is the best way to lie.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Well, you never get caught. Exactly. Except ours is all documented on TV. Well, so speaking of these scary things, I think I've told the story. When I was out mushroom hunting here in Santa Barbara, or in Santa Barbara, I don't know. It was like five years ago. I spooked a turkey, a hen off her nest, and I took two of the eggs. Oh, you son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:41:23 No, no, I mean, turkeys are a problem, whatever. They're not supposed to be here. And I was like, oh, this is cool. Let's like, let me take two turkeys. Okay. There's a big clutch of eggs. I took two eggs. I've shoved them in my wife's cleavage to keep them warm.
Starting point is 00:41:35 True story. Wow. And how big is a turkey egg? Yeah, they're pretty big, like that big. Let me see. That's big egg. I've seen your wife. That's true.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Especially not a cleavage. Yeah. Well, one in the butt cleavage. Yeah. And the bleavage. That she's got. Anyway, shoved two turkey eggs in my wife's cleavage. And bleavage.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And walked out of there and put them under the chickens and these two turkeys hatched, right? Have I never talked about this? No. No. Definitely not. True. Old true story. Turkeys hatched and they were adorable.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And like, we let them get raised by the chickens. We didn't have to do anything. You know, they don't really get raised by the chickens. This is like the island of Dr. Moreau style. He was playing God over here. Yeah, so they get raised by the chickens. But after about not even that long, three or four months, we have two male turkeys, two jakes.
Starting point is 00:42:26 You know, they start getting the beards and stuff. So they're males. They were fucking terrifying. They decided they hit like three or six months or something. Even as Pultz? Dude, once they were out of Pulse, once they were Jigs. What's a Pult? A baby.
Starting point is 00:42:41 turkey. Gotcha. And man, I just searched my phone. I bet Jess has some photos or something we can add in here. You were just happy that you knew that word. It was on the screen. Oh, gotcha. But dude, these two turkeys, they were both males.
Starting point is 00:42:54 They were so violent that we had to walk around the garden with broomsticks for a while. And they would come at you. Like, you'd be, I'd be like walking between my house and my office and out of the bushes, you're bull! And these fucking things would beeline you. And if you didn't have a broomstick, you had not. nothing to defend yourself and they jump up and kick. Now, you don't think it's scary, but no, I do. Dude, they were a massive problem. So one day, one day. Thanksgiving was right
Starting point is 00:43:22 around the corner. No, I didn't do that. One day these turkeys, there's actually the funny video where I pretend to shove the turkey in the oven. Have you ever seen that video of mine on Instagram? No. That was one of the two turkeys, because they would calm down if you could get your arms around him. But they, uh, when my son was maybe two years old, one of them got them, like jumped up on and knocked him to the ground before I whacked it with a broomstick. Oh, man. And that was the end. So I wrapped the turkeys up.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I went and tackled him while they were sleeping in the night, wrapped them up in a towel pre-dawn. True story. Took them back to the mushroom spot and re-released them. So it's just funny for me to think of the dichotomy of the two of you. And I'm in the middle, but much closer to Peter. Yeah. But like, you know, three o'clock in the morning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:05 You've been known to sneak down to the kitchen and devour some sweets. That's right. You know, last night or full pizza, maybe. Two full glass of the whole milk. Yeah. Six to eight cookies and he puts it in his tracker and he screenshots it. I put it in the outside garbage cans. I've seen the screenshots.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I just like to think that while you're doing that and nothing but your birthday suit. Yeah. The forest's alarm goes off and he's like, quang to tackle the turkeys. Yeah. 100%. He's like, oh, I know they're sleeping. I'm going to go tackle those fires.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Take them down. Put them in a dog crate, ship them back up to the valley. It's so funny. By the time that you have. had a release them. And by the way, like, I commend you for not just killing them because I thought about it very much. It's just destroy them. Especially because you can eat them too, you know. Well, yeah, exactly. Like, even like I think about killing Charlie once a week. That's the dog for new person. Charlie. And because he's just so goddamn mean to me sometimes.
Starting point is 00:44:59 So I commend you on that. But how big were the turkeys when you, when you, like 20, 30 pounds? I'm trying to get a video for my wife right now to send a Kyle if it comes up in time. But Did the other one wake up when you wrapped the first one? No, so they would go into like where the chickens go at night and sleep on a perch like a chicken because they were, they got too big for that. They started sleeping in the tree. But they, yeah, I just had to go in there and like grab them, but they're ferocious. And they had these big ass spurs. Like look at Google Turkey Spur real quick.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Do you know that they get these? No. So that's how they fight? That's how they fight. Do they have claws or no? No, they just, well, they do. Oh my God. What?
Starting point is 00:45:37 They have that on their leg. And that's what they jump up and kick you with. So it's about, I would say it's shoot. It's like a two to two and a half inch sharp tooth basically. Yeah, one and a half two inch. That's a small one. But ours were huge corn-fred turkeys. That's what ours looked like.
Starting point is 00:45:53 That is what ours look like. That a turkey has a dagger. Yeah. It looks like the most terrifying tooth. What's that? What's the monkey that has the crazy teeth? The mandrel? Yeah, mandrel.
Starting point is 00:46:03 It looks like a mandrel tooth. Could kill. Go to that. It could kill. 100%. That's why I got rid of them because I thought they might. actually kill my son. If that hit your son in the throat or fucking eye?
Starting point is 00:46:13 100% dude. But yeah, no, so these guys had like that second picture Kyle pulled up, like good two and a half inch spurs on them. And they jump up and try and kick you with that. And if I swear to God, dude,
Starting point is 00:46:23 if you didn't have a fucking broomstick to fight back, you were in big trouble. How can you fight you that? The gardeners stopped coming. I'm dead fucking serious. Our gardeners come every other Wednesday, twice a month and clean the garden, like leaf blow and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Yeah. I got a knock on the door one day. I swear to God. And the gardener was bleeding on his leg and he's like, I'm not coming here with the turkeys. How do they jump? How do they jump?
Starting point is 00:46:47 How high can they jump? Oh, like five feet? Well, yeah. So they could get up to fucking head level? Oh, yeah, because they jump and like flap at the same time. Turkey. He wrote, Kyle just Googled Turkey how high jump on Google images.
Starting point is 00:46:59 And it was all pictures of Olympic high jumpers. Yes, that was very odd. That makes absolutely no sense. This is wild though. I think, you know, I think you're an interesting person for us because you're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Thank you. Not really. Because like nobody would, like it's just you you stole some turkey eggs. You had your own chickens hatch and raise them. And then, you know, it's like, well, let's see what happens here.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Dude, even then it almost killed your child. I mean, you're fucked because, yeah, without the broomstick, like, even if you threw like, even if you were a moiety proficient kicker. And you threw just a filthy, roundhouse kick, if that plants that thing in your shin, you're fuck.
Starting point is 00:47:41 It's dude, it's a little knife blade that they're running around with. It's crazy. It's straight up. Like, that point is, you know, the most in, like, tiny little point. That could that slice right through your skin. I used to, I do. It got so bad because there was probably like a four month period where we had them and they wanted to kill everybody and like we didn't get rid of them.
Starting point is 00:48:00 And so for four months, for four months, you'd literally like, I'd come out my front door. And I'd like, look left, look right and be like, okay. I'm good and I like jogged to my car and get in and close the door. Because I was like I could not take it a broomstick to the car, you know? And then there was like there was a front door broomstick, a house broomstick, an office broomstick, a backdoor broomstick. And if you're going on the garden, you just just grab the broomstick because you don't know when the turkeys are going to attack.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Did you ever like wake up in the morning and you had an alert from your ring that there was activity at your front door and you checked the video and it was the turkey? Just like a giant turkey. Yeah, yeah. Where's that bear when you need them? Dude, seriously. And the bear came like two or three times. course ate all the lovely docile chickens and ignored the turkeys.
Starting point is 00:48:40 They're too much. Too much work. Dude, they're too much work. Too dangerous. That's really funny. Hey, Kyle, do me a favor. Google,
Starting point is 00:48:47 what is Turkey's native name in Native American? While he's doing that, here's the thing, right? Because we go up to Forest House. We bring our kids up there once in a while. Yeah. It's very dangerous there. So the way that we would have found out about the turkeys is not him saying,
Starting point is 00:49:03 just so you know, by the way, if you see the turkeys avoid them. No. By the way, there's these two attack turkeys. that are attacking children. Attacked turkeys. It would be after the turkeys attacked. Yes, of course. He'd be like, oh, I didn't tell you about that?
Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah, this is true. Like, my kid would be sitting on the miniature donkey and one of the turkeys just like if I invited you to a pool party. Yeah. And I just had a guy living in my backyard who was walking around slapping kids. I would tell you in advance. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:49:31 It's just different brainwires. We talked about it in the last podcast. The guy walking around slapping kids. He does not. Oh, yeah, that guy. I didn't tell you about Leonard. On the last part, we talked about how he, like, he went to the island with the uncontacted tribe with his wife and everything. And he just, like, glossed over the fact that his whole family almost died.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Yeah. Until his wife told me, like, the real story. And I was like, dude, you got to tell us on the podcast. This is like bananas. All right. What's the native name? It's Naham from the, what does that say, wampongo? Wanpa.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Wampano. Wampana. Kyle? Kyle, what does it say? It's Cherokee basically. An indigenous American language, yes. I want to hear Kyle try to say it. I think it's Wampanoag.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Wampanoag. That sounded way better than what I said. Phonetically good. All right. Phonetically. It's wonderful. This made me think of my favorite game that Edwin always screws us over on. Guess the animal based on their native name.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Give us a jingle, Kyle. We got a jingle. Browsners. I hope you like this game because we like it. I like it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I don't know. Kyle, you read the comments. Do people like this game? Love it. Oh, okay. Actually? It's really a favorite game. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Legit might be their favorite game. All right. Kyle, you host because we like hearing you try to say it. That's the only good part of the game. If you don't know how this game works, I'm going to read a word that is an animal in a different language. And these guys are going to guess what that animal is. And where it's from. And also, comment if you want Kyle to be on camera.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah. We could get a camera for in there. Sure. Just right there. Also, shout your answer. out in the comments. People love playing along with this one. All right, let's go, Kyle. First up. Antichondra.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Gee, it kind of sounds like something, but that's got to be a trick. Anicana. It's an anaconda from South America. Thanks, Peter. That's my guess. All right. Can you give us a country of origin? South America is a large, that's not a country.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Well, South Africa is. Okay. Not helpful. I'll go Brazil. Okay. So Portuguese? Portuguese. Oh, that's actually a really good guess. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:51:34 You think the Portuguese came in later. They heard anaconda. They made anacondra. It's a good guess. Thank you. That's what I was thinking. I do too. It's too obvious, though.
Starting point is 00:51:44 It's going to be some other snake. Yeah. Well, you guys can't guess what I've guessed. Okay. Well, yes, we can. Well, because you made fun of me, though. That's the thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Anichondra, Portuguese. Okay. For Portuguese in Portugal? For anaconda? Just the language. That's all I need to know, boy. Okay. For anaconda, though.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Yes. All right. Okay, I'm going to say it's not. I'm going to say that Anaicondra is Dutch because they heard it from the Portuguese. What's a Dutch colony? For an African rock python in the Congo. Python. So, oh, God, what is this?
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah. What's that noise? What was that sound? I want the correct buzzer noise, you son of a bitch. No, it's a half point. He's out. Is that a half point? It's not a half point.
Starting point is 00:52:30 It's incorrect. Well, it's kind of a half point. What? This is ridiculous. I'll just try and justify the bad noise. I'll explain the buzzer. I don't have the correct. I don't have the right buzzer.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Anyway. Kyle, get out. So it's the girl he took the red lobster. So it is anaconda. However, it's a Tammot word. What's that? Which is a South Indian language. It's a half point.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Half point. But here's the where it's kind of interesting. It translates to elephant killer, which is used to describe large snakes, which are likely pythons. when European colonists encountered large, constricting snakes in South America, particularly the green anaconda. They borrowed the term and applied it to these reptiles.
Starting point is 00:53:10 The first recorded use of anaconda in English dates back to the 17th century, though it actually referred to Indian pythons. So let me ask you this, Kyle. What is your native tongue? English. No, actually, it was very well done. I appreciate it. Me no, read.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I was actually going to say, Kyle's pretty good at reading. He goes be no read good. Okay, half point, me and Peter. All right. I mean, that was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:35 So we know that so? But to sum it up real quick, it was an Indian language, one of the many Indian tongue languages, for large snakes, meaning elephant killer, that somehow got applied to large green anacondas in South America. It's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:53:49 That's interesting. Yep. All right. Next. You're unhinged. I'm a little tipsy. Yeah. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Leon Marino. That's a kid who'd be. the shit out of me in seventh grade. Wireless can feel like a world of traps, but not with Visible. It's one-line wireless with unlimited data and hotspot. Powered by Verizon for $25 a month. Taxes and fees included.

Starting point is 00:54:56 That is a... I got it. It's Italian for lion. Ooh. Nice. Leone is Spanish for lion. But Marino makes me think of wool or sheep. Italian is very close to Spanish. I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Oh, boy. That's a sea lion in Spanish. Oh. Why did I tell you that? Are you effing, kidding me? Wait, so I get half a point, right? No. I said that's all, that's all past. Well, I said lion.
Starting point is 00:55:23 You dinged him before I got a chance to guess, asshole. What was that? What was wrong with you? Oh, I don't know. It wasn't sea lion. You definitely got that. Kyle is really on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Marine lion. Yeah, Marine Lion. Thank you. Kyle, we need to get Ed. He's going to take your job soon. He's even younger than the little boy, Kyle. Did that correctly? This is Kyle's game.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Leave him. Oh, stop alone. You got a straight ding. It's an hour and a half points. I'm smashed. Yeah, you're way ahead. All right. Next up, flitter mouse.
Starting point is 00:55:51 This is a. Fletermus. Fildermouse. Field mouse from Germany. Yeah, that's a good guess. I think it's flying mouse. So a bat in German. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I think it's a flying squirrel in Austrian. Okay. I'm going to give a half point to Peter. That's right. Make the noise, please, without before saying things. For a half point? I get, yeah, it's the, it's the, what is this new buzz? I like it because Kyle does a little head gesture.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Yeah, he's not happy with it. Yeah. Not entirely happy. So the translation is bat in German. Oh, wow. Bat is. I said bat in German. Oh, you did?
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah. I said flying mouse. Yeah. So a bat in German. He stopped listening after the flying mouse part. Yeah. So the bat apparently translates to flutter mouse. Flutter mouse.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I mean, that's still a full point for Pat. Yeah, absolutely. It's literally cold bat in German. But only because, only because I gave him the prompt. That's how that's,
Starting point is 00:56:47 that's how sea lion came about. It's true. He's stealing points. Two and a half points to one to Zilch. No, no, I get, yeah, I have one full point. Zippo. Okay, go ahead. All right.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Chippemberry. Chipin, chimbinberr. Chipinbear. Chipinbell. Chipembre. Chipembre. Chipembre. Well, I'm not going to say first because you guys will ride my coat tails.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Well, it doesn't matter who speaks first. Pat's going to steal it. Then I'll go first. Okay. You go first. I'm not. Did I say first? Did I say thief and you said first?
Starting point is 00:57:20 We got to drink every pot. I know this isn't good to listen to. I'm just going to take the low-hanging fruit. yeah it's gonna go chip chimpanzee and uh wow
Starting point is 00:57:32 swahili get it out swahili all right uh go ahead for host you go I really don't I mean chimpanzee
Starting point is 00:57:42 is the obvious guess I think this is a like a a chip monk in in Mexico it's like eh chipambre nice
Starting point is 00:57:50 chepembre but why would you go eh first well it's like it's name Chimex don't get excited when they see a chipmunk fuck yeah
Starting point is 00:57:56 you're kidding me why wouldn't they be all right I am gonna go. I'm going to go just off the cuff here. Odds are that this is a rock hyacinth.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Small, small, you know what that is? Doesn't matter. Oh, my God. He's drunk. Yeah, I am. Rock hyacinth in Zulu. Zulu. Did you got to get the old thing. There's no point. You got to get the old buzzer. There's no good buzzer today.
Starting point is 00:58:25 So everyone's incorrect. I want the bad buzzer. This is Rhino and Shauna. Oh, I didn't know that. Did he give any context? Nope. Well, Sean is the Zimbabwean language. Kyle,
Starting point is 00:58:35 Kyle, find the bad buzzer now. Or I will I will destroy the green room. Did the board change? Does the sound board change? You cannot have. I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:58:44 He got a new computer. Uh, I lost the, I lost it. You can't have the same for the half point as you can as the, what a fucking. The morning.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Let's go. Next. I can't believe we hired this kid. Pat's way up. Go ahead. I was hired a. He'll. That's part of our show.
Starting point is 00:59:00 We can't get rid of them. 18-year-olds, dude. Next up, Lupo. I'll go first. I'll go first. Canis Lupus is the Latin name for Wolf. So Lupo, to me, is Wolf in Inuit. This is the Greek leopard.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Don't believe Inuit would have any... I don't believe their language would be Latin-based. Don't think. But Latin... You don't think. It could be... This is Green... I'm going to steal that. Greenlandic for dog.
Starting point is 00:59:36 All right. Half point of forest. It is wolf. It's Wolf in Italian. Oh, okay. All right. Your logic was sound. Your logic was sound, unlike Pat, who stole my answers and then just added to them.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Because it's in Latin, which is Italian's Latin derivative. I think so, yeah, like Roman and Italian. All right. Well, this is another gimmie over here. This is Puma. No, no, this is a true question. P-O-O-O-M-A. Yeah, like Puma.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Nope. Puma. All right, I am going to go, it's Puma or Mountain Lion, if you will, in Chilean. This is a Bobcat in Southern California. Chilean is definitely not a language. Bobcat. It's a... Spanish.
Starting point is 01:00:24 No, it's not. Yeah, it said Southern California. No, I'm trying to figure out what language. It's a... No, it's a fish. It's a sea bass. Oh, in Portuguese.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Kick his ass, sea bass. If I don't hear a ding. It's pods a mess. So what is he doing? I'm going to give a half point to forest. What's the noise? Play the fucking buzzer before you do the explanation. I hate that news.
Starting point is 01:00:47 I want to fucking see. It's like when you do the thing that keeps the door from a doorstop. Take a deep breath. So it is Puma, but it's in Ketchwan. What's that? Ketch one if you can. It's the language in the Andes. That's a full point.
Starting point is 01:01:02 But you said Chilean, which isn't... I mean, I don't know the languages that aren't Spanish that are in Chile and Argentina. Just give him the full point. You don't even have the right sound effect. Can we compromise on three quarters of a point? Sure. Okay. Hey, Brouser's way in.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Just tell Kyle that he's an 18 year old fool. How much should Forrest get a half point or a three quarters point? No way. It's a full pointer, boner. Three more. Let's go. I'm crushing. Next step.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Sikoi. Sikui. Sequoia. This is a coy fish from the regarded territory of the African mamagnana. He's not even saying words anymore. That's what my son does. You've had two whiskeys. Why are you such a mess?
Starting point is 01:01:43 My son does it. I'm always just like, oh, really? Why can you guys be nice? Okay. This is really hard because I have no beat on the language or any root words here. Seek. Seek. Seek.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Like, okay, say it. Jesus. Like seek. Sikoi. Sikoi. but you could do that with anything. You can just take any language. You can do that.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Well, Peter just says noises. Vagina. I'm going to say that this is Arabic for... Smart. Some kind of snake. I love how Kyle's taking notes with a pen for some reason. Yeah, I'm just going to go, this is your common house cat of unknown language.
Starting point is 01:02:23 You don't even guess the language? It'll make you maybe get a half point? Nope. So incorrect. Cross the board. it's hippo in Afrikaans. Yo, if you don't play the fucking noise. Google Hippo in Afrikaans. It's like German.
Starting point is 01:02:37 No, look, I'm telling you, it's not correct. K-A-A-A-N-S. Yo, can we get Edwin on the horrid? I'm going to call them on video. Forrest, do you want to apologize? I do. I'm wrong. Edwin, you're a saint. I'm going to get Edwin.
Starting point is 01:02:50 All right, this is the one I'm most interested. No, hold on. Don't call Edwin. What are you doing? It's like 1 a.m. Stink-tier? Sorry, Kyle. Hey!
Starting point is 01:02:57 Yeah, stinkier. Stinkier. Stinktier. Stinktier. This is general term for lemur and Malagasy. This is skunk in a Native American language. This is naked mole rat in Russian. Okay, I'm going to get a half point to forests.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Oh, wow. It is skunk in German. Oh, that's better. Yes. It translates to stink animal. Stink animal. Stink animal. It's the stink animal.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Stink deer. I mean, it is. It had to be skunk, right, with the word stink in it? Yeah, I guess. It's funny, like, I had a guy who lived at my apartment for free, and he just tidied. He tied his name. Really? Yeah, his name was Rich.
Starting point is 01:03:38 That's a good deal. Yeah, he's just this British guy. But he, but everything was just called what it does. So he called elevator's lifeties. He called gum chewy. He was from where? I like that. It's from England.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Chewy. Chewis. Should we take the lifty? That's the proper nomenclature. Well, that's the Australian way of doing everything. he's just add a why to it. You're like, by the way. That's a lampy, might?
Starting point is 01:04:00 You're like, why? Why is it a lampy? It's just a lamp. That's a cherry, mate. Totally. The most responsible vomit I've ever seen and it defies science. Yeah. Go on.
Starting point is 01:04:10 We had a hard night of drinking and he decided he wanted to try his first ever dip. Okay. Full like, you know, skull. Straight up tobacco. He threw it in in the car and almost immediately turns green and realize he needs to vomit. Pukes into the thin spout, a full gut wrench puke into the thin spout of a empty two liter bottle.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Wow. Very impressive. Did not get a drop outside the bottle? Very impressive. By the way, responsible vomit is the best band name I've ever heard. Responsible vomit. All right, Kyle, last one. Last one.
Starting point is 01:04:49 For all the marbles. Spake hooger. Wow. Spake hooger. Speak huger. This is obviously Icelandic for. what's a space hugger for a common crow
Starting point is 01:05:03 in Iceland I'm gonna go Austrian for a koala bear because he hugs the tree Yeah I was thinking spike hugger So I was trying to think what Hugs a spike hugger Spake Hager
Starting point is 01:05:14 Spice Hugg again Spake Hager By the way Edwin do not ever put pronounced what it's pronounced like it ruins the whole Spike Hugger This is for the Lord
Starting point is 01:05:26 house stick insect in in um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um if i don't hear a jingle noise before this i will kill this entire we cannot drink anymore on these pods okay no points that's no point i like the old buzzer way more okay all right what is it orca in Danish nonsense danish or what is it hug translates to fat chopper chopper fat chopper chopper. It chops through the fat of the seal pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:05:54 So, so Patrick won that with two and a half points. I got a whole point by the time you add up my two. You got one and three-fourths. What did I get? One. Oh, I got a full point. That's not bad. It's incredible.
Starting point is 01:06:05 That's not bad. Yeah, it's better than that. Dude, we were going zero-zero one, zero zero-zero one. I do like this game. If you made it all the way through. Yeah, exactly. We normally don't drink on the podcast. Well, Peter does.
