Yes. What are you drinking, Pete? I got a little IPA going on here. Yeah, why not? I mean, it's like 10 a.m. Good for you. I go ahead, do the thing. Do the thing.

I'm your host, Forrest Galante the broologist, joining me, as always, pop a pee on my right and to the right of him, Petter Fetzer. Why are you doing, like, don't do a Hitler salute. Don't do that. Bro. What was that?

Have you ever seen a Hitler salute? That's certainly not it. It didn't look right. It's just like a salute, a regular salute. Okay. Well, good salute, I guess. Are we allowed to do that because we didn't serve in the military? Is that like a,

is that a fucked up thing to do? Well, we'll find out. Peter did it. looked very like zig highly to me. Fuck off, bro. You got to do like two fingers. Two fingers is like cool, but the flat hand looks weird. So Kyle looked it up.

Yes, civilians can salute to show respect or gratitude. Well, I mean, so I look at like his nice posture and his bent arm. It looks very different to Peter. Yeah, I might want to watch a YouTube video. That's your perception of it. I'm happy to be here with you guys. I was in, uh, in Vail, got three days of skiing in. Oh, lucky.

Do you ski? I snowboard. Okay. That scares me. He's snowboarding? You snowboarding or skiing scares me. I literally thought about it while I was skiing through some trees. Why?

Because, so I ski carefully at my age, right? I'm pretty good. Yeah. And I go fast and have fun. But I don't go insane. Yeah, I have one mode. I know that. Okay.

It's fun though. I was literally kind of going through some trees. Yeah. And the conditions were great. So it was like real easy to control. your speed, but I was like, Forest shouldn't be here. No, no. It was like... You should have seen him in India on the go-kart track.

I knew he was going to bring that up. I was going to try and brush by that. What is this? I'm sure there were no rules. You can expect, you know, you can... Did he roll it? You didn't roll it. I tried. I did try and I took out a big corner of the track. Oh, my goodness. No, so there were these go-carts that go 50 miles an hour. Oh, my God. That is fast for a go-car. They were, were they 120 horsepower? Something like that. They were like legit go-carts. No rules over there in India.

Private track, no rules. So we went at 10 p.m. It was me, Kyle, the rest of our crew, and a couple other guys. There was what, eight or ten of us on the track? And I was like, for the first three laps, I was determined that I was going to win. Yeah, of course. Very competitive. Very competitive.

And I was not winning. So by lap three, I was like, all right, well, if I'm not going to win, nobody's going to have fun. Oh, you're such a prey. It's similar to the water slide at AnimalCon. Oh, exactly. Getting it shut down. But Kyle, I just, I just, I just. I just turned into like fucking Bowser from Mario car.

And I was like, I'm just going to trash as many people as I can't. Were you shooting turtle shells at people? I was throwing stuff. I refused to wear the helmet. Like I did the whole thing. And then I was just go full speed. Like there'd be a corner and you'd see the whole like everybody's starting to turn the corner. And I just go full send dead pan at every car I could.

And I take out like seven, eight cars at a time. Wow. And then, you know, like big pileups. How hard are you laughing? Oh, I'm screeching with laughter. I mean, at the end of the day, we're going to get the last lap. He's going to be dead by 50.

Without a question. He rolled that fucking dune buggy in, uh, where the hell were you? Mexico. Mexico. I still have the scars. Yeah. You're going to be dead.

That was fun, though. But so there was a, uh, so they, in Vail, they have all these like high end shops. Yeah. Right at the base there. Right. Yeah. Exactly. So there's a,

I look and there's I see a woolly mammoth skeleton, you know, full. Oh. constructed skeleton. Yeah, super high in like rock and gem shop. Oh, cool. So I go in there, it's in Lyonshead Village, this place. But so I go in there, I'm looking at their stuff. They got all sorts of bones and I see an elephant bird egg. No way. Yeah, and I'm looking at it right as the guy comes over, like the geologist comes over and he's like, you know, can I, anything I can help you live? And so I kind of wanted to get into a convo. So I said, oh, I said, I'm curious how much you're looking to get for this elephant bird egg. Was it perfect or

cracked like mine. No, it's, it was, it was one of 40 completely intact. Oh, wow. Not cracked. 65 grand. They're trying to get for it. 65. Yeah. Well, I mean, you're in veil. That's like where you, where else would you put that egg to get that price. I'm going the other way. I think that's underpriced. Oh, really? There's 40 of them in the whole world. Yeah. They'll probably never be more. Well, he did say, I was like, wow. I said, I knew it was going to be some thousands. I didn't know it was going to be that many. And he said, honestly, I think the, because someone else owns it and he's displaying it trying to sell it for him. Oh, I see. He said, I think if you, if you offered 50, I could, I could give it to you

for 50. And you thought about it because you were drunk. No, that's pretty pretty sober at this point. How many credit cards do you take at the same time? So, so when, remind me what you paid in Madagascar for the one that was in pieces. Uh, probably like 25 bucks, 30 bucks. So even, so then that that got me thinking. I was like, fuck, because Forrest has this cool elephant per day. Is that the one in your office? It's in the back? Kyle, you could pull it up in one of our, like, the YouTube's in the back.

Yeah, you can see it. But yours kind of looks like a soccer ball, right? Because it was in pieces. Oh, you mean like the patterning? Very much so, yes. And it took me hundreds of hours to put it back together. Right. Like, it took me so much time to put it back together.

Tell the story of how you got the same. Oh, there it is. There it is over your right shoulder there. Yeah. Can you zoom in on it, Kyle? Do you have the technology to do that? Do you have the technology? But see how his is all kind of, it almost looks like a volleyball.

I'll say Kyle some pictures because I documented the whole process of putting it back together and I was texting you and Scott Stanley. Do you remember? That's right. Yeah. But for those who don't know, elephant bird is the, it's an extinct bird. It's the biggest bird that's ever lived. Ever.

Okay. From Madagascar. Sorry, we probably should have explained that. There's a rendition of how big it is compared to an ostrich. Wow. That is. So you're talking like 12 feet tall. Oh, it's massive. Yeah, it's bigger than a moa. It's huge. And thick. Big bigger legs than

than forest for sure. I mean, it's a fucking dinosaur essentially, right? Everything, Peter. Yeah, it is. But anyway, so, okay, we should preface this by explaining that we all went to Madagascar. In Antana Vervo, I don't know if they've cleaned this up yet or not, but there's this unbelievable market. It's like a gem, try and see if you can find it, Kyle. It's like a gem and rock market in Antana Vero, the capital city. of Madagascar. And we went, Patrick and I've been there twice together. We went on these big shoots. And then I think at the end of the second one, if I remember correctly, we went to this like gem market. And we went there looking for intel on pygmy hippo skulls because they, they have traded in them before. They found extinct pygmy hippo skulls and they've been found at the market. So we went

there looking for that. But when we got there, I don't want to speak for Patrick. I was blown away. Oh, it's continue. And then I'll jump in. Okay. It was amazing. one of your mushroom things? Yeah, go right ahead. Mushrooms in? It was absolutely amazing. I mean, unbelievable. Like, Peter. Yeah, tell me, what was so incredible about it? This is not doing it justice, but... It literally looks

like a bunch of crates with... No, and that looks like what you see at like the Alley trade show, you know, where you pick out the Tiger's Eye for a $1.50, but... That's a good picture of it. And it's huge. It's like six of those. So just like tons of rare stuff that couldn't be found otherwise. But everything at that market

collectively is probably the value I'm making this up of 150,000 U.S. dollars, what they're selling it for. If you bought it. If you bought it. The value of it is probably 150 million U.S. dollars. Billions. What? Wow.

I mean, there's everything. Dude, there's rubies. Business venture idea. Let's just go wipe it out. Bring it back. I'll explain why. I've thought a lot about it. We'll explain why.

Yeah. I've also thought a lot about it. Keep that picture queued up the last one with the blue. Yeah, that one? Yeah. Okay. So anyway. So we go there, we dig for Intel, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm asking about extinct animals and what hippo skulls you have. We don't find any hippo skulls. But this guy shows us an elephant bird egg, a real elephant bird egg. And I'm like, oh, my God, it's amazing. First time you ever saw one? Of course, yeah. I mean, I think I saw one in the Copenhagen Museum, a whole one, like what Patrick just saw. Right, like under glass, completely inaccessible.

Completely removed from it, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, we start haggling, we start bartering. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it wasn't a lot of money, maybe a hundred bucks. You know what I mean? It was definitely less. Yeah. It wasn't a lot of money. Month yearly salary though for that guy.

Right. So I bought that. Patrick bought some fossils and some gems and stuff. We all bought a few things because it's incredible. Come to find out when we get back to the hotel. There's a reason it's also cheap. Can't bring it back. Can't bring it back.

Not allowed to fly home with it. So it was weird. So now you guys turned into smugglers. Correct. Yeah. But it was weird because it was a mess. had Malagasy law and not a... I don't remember, but...

It's right. It's the... You can't get it out of the country. There's no concern about bringing it into the U.S. It's getting it out of Madagascar. Right. And then there were weird stipulations about whether it's intact or whether you found it versus you bought it. All this weird stuff. We like said, you know, we're researching it all at the time. This is like, what, 10 years, eight years ago now, whatever.

Statute of limitations. I was going to guess five. They'll let you back in now. Call it whatever. So I took my elephant bird egg, which was perfect. but in pieces, as you say, like looks like a soccer ball. Kyle,

see if you can find one like in, like maybe a full office from my YouTube where you can zoom in on it. How big compared to an ostrich egg is this? Is it bigger? You can see it in my office because... It's almost as big as your head,

which is probably six ostrich eggs inside. It's huge, dude. What forest head? Both. Both. Anyway, what I did with mine, I don't know how worthwhile the story is,

you could see it in the back corner there. Yeah. You could see it for a second there. What I did with mine, is the inside is, it's paper mache basically. Oh my God. Who shot this video? It looks very cinematic. Sorry, not to derail. So see the ostrich egg next to it there? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. I didn't know that was an ostrich egg there. It's huge. I thought it was just a regular chicken egg. No, that's an ostrichet. I think people want to know how you smuggled it. Well, that's what I'm getting to, but Peter keeps interrupting. I know. That's what I do. I derail things. So I take that giant egg and I draw a little like pencil lines on and everything. Soak it in water because I didn't know what was inside of it. But, but I didn't know what was inside of it. But, the inside of it was paper mache, so all the pieces fall apart. Then I have my little survival cooking pot stove thing. Yeah.

And I lay all the pieces like this, you know, cupping into each other in that little survival pot stove thing. Also, well knowing if more pieces break, it's just more of the puzzle to figure out later. Yeah. Put the pot in my check luggage and flew home. And that was it. And that was it. And that was it.

Wow. However, Patrick had a slightly different experience. Yeah. What happened with you? So I bought a bunch of stuff like what you see on the screen here. gems and cool rocks. Beautiful like crystals and this awesome like two foot tall

chunk. I think I've seen it in your house. Yeah, had a bunch of ammonites. Beautiful. And I wrapped them just like in my clothes and was just like, well, see. See what happens. And immediately. It also said, sorry, I want to just want to interrupt, I'm trying to find my egg building video.

I just want to interrupt to say it also said online, if you're caught with it, because it happens every day, they just confiscate it. Okay. Like it wasn't like a big deal. You don't get your hand cut off. No, it was like, it was very like they just take it away because this market is literally 20 minutes from the airport and every tourist goes there. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So, sorry. Well, they probably make a killing and bribe money too. That's what happened. Yeah. And so, yeah, they immediately found it, unwrapped it. And they're like, what's this? Yeah.

What's this? And I said, oh, just gifts because it was around Christmas time. Yeah. And they were like, oh, gifts, gifts. And then they like, unwrap more stuff. We're like, what's this? I was like, gifts. And they were like, gifts for us.

And I said, yep. And they just took me back. There was just a little shower curtain thing. And me and three dudes crammed in like dick to dick. Oh, yeah. And I just was like shaking as I like went and pulled out 20 bucks, 20 U.S. dollars. And I was like, here you go. And they were like, oh, brother.

Like massaging my shoulder and stuff. Oh my God. Let me take it all up. But what I want to get to is so this is a picture from the Tucson Rock and Gem show. It's the biggest mineral show in the U.S. People from all over the world come to it. Right? You see like people like congregations from like Dubai, people that are there and like for the

Sultan of Brunei buying fully intact dinosaurs. Okay. So Madagascar is really interesting geology, but some of the pieces that you buy at this little market for five bucks, you see that the same gems and the same crystals at the rock and gem show for $3,000. Wow. So it's hard to export stuff out of there. Yeah.

But it's a lot of the crystals you see that are really popular that people like are all from Madagascar. I mean, if you went in there with $10,000 and found a way to get everything out, you could easily flip it for probably $500,000 or a million. Go in there with $12,000, $2,000 for bribe money, $10,000 for product. So it'd just be about getting it out. Private plane? You got connections over there, huh, Forrest? I do. In fact, we met this guy.

Remember the crazy guy whose house we went to? who had all the collectible stuff. Holy shit, I forgot about that. He had a pygmy hipposcar. That's right. He had some crazy stuff. He just reached out to me again recently telling me he's found this extinct chameleon

and that we should come and film it. We had a lovely dinner and booze at his house. It's a compound that he had. Wait, Kyle, go to the picture I just sent you. It's all the way to the right in the camera. Okay, so Kyle's pulling up. This is the egg. That's the egg.

So there I am at the market. I'm thrilled because I've found this egg. And it's very perfect looking, as you can see. I mean, it's obviously all pieces. obviously not even one egg, it's several put together. Don't care. So soak it, blah, blah, blah. So when I get home, it looks like that.

Yes. That's a lot of work. By the way, that's like a 500 piece. I would have looked at that and just been like, no. You would have hired Ethan or friend Ethan to put it together. It was so much work. It took so long because each piece had to fit together and then into an orb. You know, it's not like a flat.

Yeah. This is me at like 1 a.m. like looking straw with a headlamp because I needed each piece. This is why you're always busy. Because there's never, you can't sit still. No. I'm actually shocked that you did it and that you didn't have jest to it. I can't believe. She did much of it.

Knowing your ability to, your ability to not have patience. It is very shocking that you put it together. By the way, like, pretty cool, though. Pretty cool thing to have. There it is. Oh, there is finished now in the office. I finished it. That took so long, dude.

Dude, I mean, getting the pieces, because when you glue it, like you're gluing it and it's permanent. Like, I would be so frustrated because I'd be like, you put one wrong piece and you got to fucking, you know, switch it around. You smash it again because you're furious. I wonder. I wonder if, if, okay, so the guy wanted 50 for his perfect one. Mine's probably worth like five grand.

So I started doing some research because I was like, oh, how much are the, as the guy in the shop said, you know, most of them look like soccer balls. Right. Because they're in pieces. The cheapest I could find one that looks like yours was like $4,000. on eBay. I'll take it. Well,

if you ever... You bought it for 25 bucks. And it came with a story. Yeah. If you're ever, you know, in need desperately, he can just go to market

and sell that egg. Kyle, when did the elephant bird exist? I want to say it was around 20,000 years ago. No, it's more recent than that because there's records

of people hunting them. What does it say there? It's not extinct 1,000 AD. So... Holy shit. Yeah, that's like a thousand... That's a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. well, Kyle, do me a favor. Give me a little, give me a little jingle, jangle, just anything. Ay, aye, aye, aye, aye, yeah, yeah. Oh.

What's in the news? Okay. What's in the news? Good little segue here. The elephant bird existed around a thousand years ago. Okay? Sounds good. The woolly mammoth existed up until they found out

about 10,000 years ago, right? And that one little island up in the Bering Sea, where they survived longer than everywhere else. Well, we all know we've talked about it a lot. In fact, I'm wearing one of their shirts. Colossal is working on bringing them back. That's right. Yesterday, they announced something very cool that I personally have known about for probably four months and been keeping a secret.

Secrets. I didn't want to keep it a secret because it's so cool. Yeah. What they've done as a proof of concept to show what they're going to do. Because we've talked about this before. In order to make a mammoth, they take an elephant and they give it mammoth traits. They put mammoth DNA in it, right? They give it longer tusks, a big shabby coat, make it cold tolerant.

Well, they've done the same thing, sans tusks, to a mouth. That's right. Introducing the world's first woolly mice and boy are they cute. Oh my goodness. This has been, I've seen this all over social media. Okay, so on this picture we have a regular mouse on the right. Yep. And the woolly mouse on the left, which is. Yeah. So these are like the test subject animals, right? So you have the regular one and that's what their offspring look like once they've genetically engineered them. So they basically created a gerbil. But regardless of that, it is. It is a very, very cute thing. So these are now very fluffy, cold tolerant mice. The cold tolerance thing's pretty cool. Yeah, but no tusks. No tusks. No tusks.

No tusks on that bitch. Oh, my goodness. Some guy sent me an AI thing he did. It's pretty cool. I could send it to Kyle of the mice turning into mammoths and growing tusks. But yeah, they're really darn cute. I mean, that's all there is to the news. Like you can dig into it as much as you like, but it's just a proof of concept.

So what did they, what did you think and what did they say? when they told you about this four months ago. Are you like, is that that silly or like that's incredible? It's not going to work. It'll be, it'll look really cool. Okay. So the first thing I said was,

can I have a pair to which they said yes. So one day I will get a pair of woolly mice. And the second thing I, you know, said, well, I knew they'd been working on it for a while. Like I've spoken to Beth Shapiro about it. I've spoken to Ben Lamb,

like all the main people, Matt James. And we've talked about this because it is a proof of concept, right? you can't just take an elephant and make a big hairy elephant, be like, ta-da! I mean, you can, but a more natural progression is to be, as we've always done, through clinical trials and human testing, like, do it on mice,

show that it works, show that it cures cancer, show that it grows hair, show that it can hang out in the Arctic. These suckers have already been in the freezer, you know what I mean, and they're doing just fine. That's crazy. It's pretty cool. So I knew they were working on it, and I knew that this generation was being born and that they were going to announce it

and all of that. And I was very excited because at the end of the day, it just looks like a gerbil. So I was like, I don't know if the world's going to care or find it interesting. What's the story behind it? The fur texture is unlike any sort of mouse-like thing that I've seen. It's a very clearly different fur texture. It looks like a mammoth.

Yeah. It's worth noting that what they, so they've identified 85 different genes and what they think they did for the mammoth, right? Fur texture, cold tolerance, and whatnot. And so they injected some of the genes into mouse embryos. And then these fucking things were born. So, dude, this is, remember when Chris, came out and it was like huge news this was done with like crisper yeah and like this is now well they've actually probably done other things with crisper but i feel like this is the biggest news i've seen

with like what they've actually produced with crisper other than the people are doing some fucking shit in their garages oh yeah yeah some weird stuff i've seen it it's pretty you have yeah what have you what have you seen like a guy uh a company was trying to make a documentary about basically like basement and garage crisper people yeah all the weird shit they're doing Tech is so available now. Because I saw a crazy thing on that. Are you thinking of the glow and the dark dog? Yeah, exactly.

Oh, I do remember. I think we touched on this a little bit. I don't remember why it's in my brain. He must have injected like some bioluminescent. Yeah, GFP, green fluorescent protein from jellyfish. Okay. Do you guys have any idea you might not? Skibico nowhere, how CRISPR actually works?

No. No whatsoever. That's like asking me like, could you build a cell phone? It's like, what are they, they must just, it's under a microscope and they have some kind of automation that goes in and literally just removes a piece, like a tiny piece of a microscopic chromosome, a gene. I don't, what is a gene? It's like a sequence of like protein.

Okay. I think. I mean, I'm sure we sound like idiots because probably most of the people that are listening know more about it than we do. Well, comment down below if you know how CRISPR works. So it's saying here, uh, what it transcribes. So it, CRISPR sequences trans. Yeah, I don't fucking know.

Forrest don't read so well. Well, I'm trying to understand it as I read it, but it's to do with the MRNA and how they space it and then put other stuff in to make DNA. But I don't understand it. I mean, I'm not even pretending. But like through YouTube, I think you can, some of the people that are doing this stuff are just like, they're not scientists. Right. They're CRISPR influencers. Yeah.

The one that I saw that blew my mind, which may be the same thing you saw. I don't remember. I don't know why this in my mind. but you can buy these like black web or dark web, whatever it's called, like, you know, the nefarious internet. Yeah, yeah, the dark web. Yeah, the grisper kits. Wow.

You know, so you buy a kit and it like ships to your house from some fucking loon that puts it together in his house. Yeah. And then it has all the pieces of the puzzle in it. And then it's like, have fun with your CRISPR. Wow. And this guy was literally, when, when Pat says it's not scientists, this guy was living in a trailer park, dead serious that I saw.

We saw the same thing, yeah. Yeah, I don't know where, I don't know what this is. from. But this guy was living in a trailer park and he basically made glow in the dark dogs. So, I mean, you picture like you can have, just like when you're making meth, not that I know how, you can have just like when I was making meth. You can have trailer park meth, which is a glow in the dark dog. Yeah. And you can have like colossal meth, which is a woolly mammoth. Pharmaceutical company. Yeah, right. Sure. Anyway, I think the woolly mice are really exciting. I don't know if or when I'll ever actually get a pair, but I'm excited at the prospect that I will.

there's a little bit something else in the news that's been going around it happened right here in our backyard speaking of skiing also in big bear hey petter yeah do your balls stink dude they reek but not anymore i got these this mando starter pack dude the worst dad we've ever done oh no dude this this stuff is great not only does it smell good keeps the balls fresh for up to three days man it's the ball stink is the number one cause of celibacy among college students.

I see an alert that there's someone at my door. Mm-hmm. And I literally watch as someone steals a package from my front porch. Oh, that's fun. And I'm like, oh, God, it's probably just some, like, useless stuff.

No, it's the worst case scenario. A package thief stole my shipment of pretty litter. Oh, my God. And it screwed me up because they should. So pretty litter, you guys, everyone knows that I think it's one of the best products ever created for my cat. Genuinely. I love it. I'm subscribed to it.

It shows up three months worth at my door. I never have to go shopping for litter until today. someone stole my pretty litter. I'm so angry.

which I guess is a semi-rare event. Bald eagles? I haven't seen this. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Is this the cam? Yes, man. I literally will watch this live cam of just these eagles

chilling in the nest. Kyle, how many people are watching this live cam right now? Is this a live cam? This is probably the one where they're actually born. This is the live here, 65,000 people. Oh, look, are currently watching it. Currently right now. So right now there's 65,000 people are currently watching this eagle sit in its nest.

That's right. Oh, yes, yeah, that's correct. But I mean, dude, it's so relaxing. We're doing something wrong. A little lo-fi music, AI generated behind it. But so, yeah, pop back on them being born, man. It's shot so beautifully, too. you watch him, man.

You watch him help him come out of the eggs, the dad or the mom. And, dude, it's just so, if you skip forward a little bit, so we can actually see the little bird come out. He's not listening. Watch. There he goes.

He's pecking his way out. Now, I did notice that the, the mother or father eagle helped along, helped him get out of the egg a little bit. And by the way, I was also fascinated. It's probably a nightmare to try and get out of an egg. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It sure is. I have trouble with breakfast. Why you have to have an egg tooth. And they all, there's this a monogamous bald eagle couple that just live in this nest, dude. And well, yeah, they're, I mean, supposedly they're like the most monogamous animal on earth.

Bald eagles are? Yeah. Yeah. Because they'll choose a single partner at the age of two, typically. And then even, and then they live to be like 50. Right. And even if it dies, they don't mate again. Exactly.

Yeah. There it comes. What is FBI? Oh, Friends of Big Bear Valley. Got it. Yeah. Oh, the little guy comes out. He's just like, and you got a new, you got a new baby eagle. Do you know, like, are Eagles still endangered, or are they good to go now? Nobody's ever asked it that way before. Are they good to go? I don't know. Bald Eagles, look at their conservation status. I think they're considered like vulnerable at this point.

But they're all protected across the U.S. You can't do anything to hurt a bald eagle. See, look up specifically bald eagle conservation status. So if you want a little like unethical life pro tip, put put a bald eagle nest on your property if you don't want anybody coming in there and fucking with it. That's such a hard thing to do by the way. A least concern. Never mind. You can also do it. This is legit. And I saw this as an unethical life pro tip on Reddit. You can put a bat box on your property. I have one. And then and then they're, they're protected. So like the government wants to come in like, what's that thing where they can just take your property? Imminent domain. Yeah, imminent domain. Just run. They want to do.

like a road through there. Oh, sorry, just put a bat box up. Dude, I don't know that I believe that works. First of all, Kyle and I had this conversation once. It was you, right, who also put up a bat box? How many bats have visited your bat box? Zero. He's no biologist. I am a biologist. How many bats have you got? Zero. Ah, shit. Yeah. I've had that bat box up as high as I could get it in the tree for like 10 years. Zero bats have ever gone to it. All right. All right. So it's a little more difficult. But, dude, I just thought it was crazy. This was super viral this video of them hatching. Go back to

live cam, Kyle, real quick. I can't believe 65,000 people are watching this. It's just, I'm usually one. I just saw a single bald eagle sitting in the nest, which has got about six inches of snow in it, and it's snowing, and it looks incredibly cold. Looks miserable. And the eagle looks so

mad. The father, and he's closing his eyes, but it's like, this is fucking futile. I'm shivering. You think it's the dad the mom and the dad went out and she's just pissed. Like, why does he get to go out? Why does he's to ski? I was going to say he's out fishing with his friend. Yeah. And she's sitting there like,

I fucking hate that guy. Why did I marry him? I should never have had children with him. All the things our wives think daily. You think it's mostly, so 65,000 people are currently just, there's nothing going on. It's a beautiful frame. Yeah, that's it. You think it's mostly people that are just like at work and it's just, they're just watching this to like calm down? It's got to be. It's got to be background.

right? It's not like something you're tuned into. I'll have it up on my side monitor and then I have the two other monitors and I'll start getting stressed and I'll have the lo-fi music guy and I'll look over I'll be like, oh man, what a life. Is there a chat that is associated with this live? Oh, there's a chat.

Oh yeah, let's see. Are people talking? There's a vote. Looks like they got a little poll going. A lot of hearts getting strewn up there. This is crazy. Yeah, you got the live chat there. Kyle, type something in and be like, hello from Wild Times. Yeah, do it. Why not? I don't think you're...

Yeah, no, it's not allowing it. It's only allowing likes. But look at them flooding in. So, obvious... It's a legit thing. Wow. Yeah, I just thought it was cool. Turn to Ted.

Oh, boy. I saw something else in the news, Forrest. Yeah, tell me. Remember when you found an extinct animal in the Galapagos? Sure do. Another animal was found. Not as cool, in my opinion, just because it's not as big. Yeah, fair enough.

But after 190 years, the extinct galopos... Apagos rail, which is a very cool flightless bird. Very cool looking. Was found on Floriana Island. Wow. Originally extincted due to invasive species. Yep. But scientists recorded acoustic calls and, most importantly, a photograph of this flightless

bird, which is very cool bird. Yeah. 190 years, man. It's a long time. That is a longer than our tortoise. That means it was there when we were looking for the tortoise, by the way. It's true. You guys just couldn't find it.

So basically picture a flightless crow. Yeah? With the red eyes of the devil. Legit, unnaturally red eyes. Yeah. It's a very beautiful photo, though. Well, it's good because it says

that the discovery follows the eradication of invasive species that took place on Floriana, which I remember when they wrapped that up towards the end of maybe it was last year or the year before. And they're like, all right, like, we've pretty much got rid of all the rats and cats, which makes sense because now what you

should see is a boom in these sort of lost species or critically endangered things because if you're a tiny little nest and ground bird like this and there's rats and cats, you're twofold fucked because cats are going to eat you. Rats will also, by the way, eat a small ground bird, but the cats are 100% going to predate upon the birds. Of course. And then the rats are going to predate upon the eggs sitting on the ground. So the thing has no, you know what I mean?

It's like it's totally unprotected. Fucked on every sense. But yeah, by getting rid of. and it was naturally recovered too, which is pretty cool here. But that's what should be happening, right? Obviously, there was a few of them that were nesting somewhere that rats and cats weren't finding them. And now that they, for the most part, got rid of eradicated rats and cats from the islands,

which my guess is honestly, candidly, no disrespect, but I bet you they haven't fully got rid of the rats and cats. I bet they've knocked them down by 99% but I'm sure they haven't got rid of them. You know how hard it is to get rid of a fucking cat? Do you know how hard is to get rid of one rat in your house, let alone the entire island? Damn near impossible. Yeah. So, you know, I'm guessing they've knocked that population way down.

So now you're going to see some of the native flora and fauna start to like recolonize that's hung on. It says here that the Galapagos dove also is returning because of this, because these assholes getting eradicated. It's weird to think though, right? Like the, the dodo was a flightless bird. Yeah. And I think got wiped out in like 50 years, really, maybe less. Less, yeah. And like in New Zealand, a bunch of their flightless birds where they're almost gone.

Almost everything, yeah. Yeah. It almost makes you wonder how any flightless bird evolved in the first place. Because they had no predators. That's why New Zealand are just areas with literally no carnivores? Yeah. That's why New Zealand's such a fucking snooze to me. It's a beautiful place.

There's nothing on land of interest that isn't an invasive species. You know, the only things that evolved there. If I went to New Zealand 500 years ago right now, it might be the coolest place in the entire planet. They had host eagles and moas and all this amazing stuff. But humans came in and brought rats, cats, goats, sheep, all this other stuff. And for millions of years on the island of New Zealand, all the birds that landed there went, wow, this place is paradise.

There's literally nothing to eat our eggs or hurt us here. So over generational time, they're like, why are we bothering to fly? why are we bothering to nest in the trees? Let's just sit on the ground and lay our eggs here. They had a meeting. They had a meeting. No competition, man. It'd be great.

Can you imagine? Yeah. Just chilling, man. It's like living in on vacation. Can you imagine that meeting? The bird meeting? Yeah, we're like the first role. Bird was like, hang on a second.

We're spending a lot of time flying. Yeah. There's kind of no point. It's exhausting. Yeah. Oh, man. Speaking of being exhausted, did you see these? The gummies?

The Magic Mind Gummies. The yummy gummies? Dude, I consider this a workday, not really. But I want to get some focus here. Well, I like, because I've already had three cups of coffee this morning. I got up early, did a workout, that whole thing. This has all the yum-yms that make your brain smart, minus the caffeine. So they're nice for when you don't need more coffee.

That's right. You can eat them even after you've had your coffee, Patrico. You're talking about the magic mind gummies that you're shoveling in your gullet as we speak. Oh, they're so tasty. Chewed loudly into the camera. Everybody are into the mic. You can have one, even though now I only get two. You bastard.

Ah, yeah, I love these things, man. We got a promo going on. They got a promo going on. 25% off with Code Wild 25 for the launch promotion. So go check out the website over there. Magic Mind. What is it for? Kyle Chimeon.

Yeah, it's out. Here we go. No, no, see, this is fun. Let's see it. Let's count the silence. Magicmind.com. slash wild gm. Oh, they got to magicmind.com.

Dot com. So you go there, 25% off. Wow, 25. Go ahead. I was just going to do one more news story. Yeah, I was going to set it up. Oh, well, you said it. Can I set it up, please?

Yes, please deal. When you think about sharks intercoastly, right, shark in a river. Yeah. What species? Peter, what species do you think of? Great River dolphin. No, come on.

What shark do we have we talked about that can do just as well? in the river as it can in the ocean. Give me like a little hint. It's got horns. It looks like a devil. It's fucking stupid. Yeah.

I was trying so hard. Like Patrick was looking at you. You had to look at me and be like, what has horns? What animal has horns? A goat. Yep, that's it. A goat shark.

All right, fine. Everybody. A bull shark. You know this. We've talked about this hundreds of times. I can't remember everything. Forest, what if I told you that there's a shark in the intercoaster water, inner coastal waterways in Hollywood,

Florida that's raising eyebrows and let me show you this photo and you tell me if you think it's your standard bull shark in the river. It's jaws. There's a video of it. From the fin it looks, no, maybe a little more pointy. Right next to someone's backyard. Lemon shark. Oh, yikes.

Oh, what is this? What species is this? Newscaster? Newscaster. The big forehead guy. Sorry, yeah. All right, let's see here. So I saw point I saw pointy fin. Oh, wait a minute. Okay. What is we got? It's definitely not a bull shark. Ooh, it's, it's right

there up the shore. I mean, these are people's patios, right? Yeah, that's crazy. Big shark just hanging out. Which, by the way, if this was a bull shark in South Florida, that's normal, but that appears to be a maco shark. Oh, how can you tell? What, that tail fin? The tail fin, the pointiness of the fin, the way it's

swimming, and the fact that the newscaster had a yeah, and there it is. Oh, wow. That is a meco. What's it doing there? That's a weird behavior. No, it's jacked up. So this thing has something wrong with its brain. So it either has that, like, that PSP thing that a lot of the sharks we're getting. Dude, since you said that, that newscaster, it's the only thing I can see. He kind of looks like the shark. He does a little. But, uh, so makos have no eyes in their socket or what?

No, no, it's got a big black eye, but this thing's jacked up in the head. He's either got that like PSP syndrome that the sawfish were getting or some kind of poisoning. But first of all, makos are open water pelagic sharks. They should never be even near to the shore, really. Okay. I mean, I'm talking like deep water offshore animals. Like they very rarely kind of. coming close to the coast. And then to have one in the fresh water or the brackish waterways, this thing's definitely all kinds of jacked up. One of those like freak instances.

What is the PSP syndrome that you were talking about? It says the shark has been lingering in the area for several days showing sluggish behavior, possible sign of something. Well, yeah, something is wrong. But that's crazy. It hasn't died. It's the spinning syndrome. I think it's called PSP.

Check it out, Kyle. Spinning syndrome on sawfish. I think we talked about this. Didn't we talk about this on the pod? Doesn't ring a bell for me. So for a long time, as these HABs, these harmful algal blooms were happening in, I did a show on this. That's why I know so much about it. But the harmful algal blooms were taking place in Florida and the fish and sharks were getting this spinning syndrome.

So basically they were getting so intoxicated by this harmful algal that it was changing their brain chemistry. And all of these, it was the worst for these guys, these critically endangered sawfish. See if you can find a drone shot, Kyle, because they would just start spinning in circles. Like they'd get so crazy and dumb in the head from toxic water that they just start spinning in circles. Abnormal spinning, try it. I don't know. You'll find it.

And these algal blooms are just because they're happening more because the water temperatures are so high. It's a combo of things, but one thing that we actually found on our show that was so sad and so disgusting is that it's, everybody thought it was fertilizer from golf course and lawn runoff. It's mostly

human fucking waste is what it is. It's mostly sewage. Brue. So all of that like Jupiter, West Palm, all of that area that feeds into the inland waterways, specifically into the,

the IRL, the Indian River Lagoon, it's all septic dump and leaching, especially when these hurricanes come through and these floods come through, all the septic goes into the ocean. And so what it is is you have this massive influx of nutrients from all of our little pooh-poo's and pee-Ps,

and then you have this heated up water because the weather is so hot, and it's creating these massive splux, blooms and algae that suck up all of the oxygen and are toxic. And then that stuff comes in along the coast. I remember, was it, I know if it was seaweed or what, but when I was out there a couple years ago, you couldn't even go in the water in the Atlantic there in Mexico because all of that shit was coming up on. That's another thing. That's Sargassum. Oh, okay. That's called Sargassum. We can look at that as well. But yeah, no, it's crazy.

So yeah, and this is what's happening, right? These things were beaching themselves and spinning like this in circles. Stingrays, we're doing this, but it's because of this nutrient-dense water. And then it's a couple things. In addition to it being poop and pee and all of this and all these fish acting crazy like this, there's so much pharmaceutical leaching from our bodies that the fish are getting hormonal imbalances and irregularities. So mostly from Vicodin and Cialis. So we're taking so much Vicodin and Cialis, especially in Florida. Oh my God. That we're pissing that into our toilets. Then that's going out into the the waterways, and it's bioaccumulating up the food chain. So things that sit at the top of the

food chain, like the sawfish, are getting mass doses of Cialis and Viagra. In addition to everything else I explain, and it's literally making them insane and have hormonal imbalances. It sounds like the end of times. So, but you're saying it's mostly from septic tanks. It's not like the city of Jupiter's sewage is running. Hard to say. I don't know the answer. I don't know how the city planning works there. But yeah, the understanding is that, and nobody knows, everybody thought it was fertilizer and lawn runoff that was making these booms because fertilizer grows stuff, right? And you're like, oh, yeah, there's golf courses. It's Florida. The whole state's basically a golf course. And, yeah, we found out by doing a lot of water sampling up and down the IRL that it's mostly human waste.

That's a terrible negative thing. Let's talk about something. It makes me think. It's so dumb. I know I bitched about it once, but like, so stupid the way, like the state of California is supposed to be very. very like on the forefront of green as far as states go. And the fact that they still, that if, if I were to take a little 22 and go out and shoot a gopher, they will take me to jail. Correct. But I'm allowed to spread as much poison on my lawn as possible as I want.

Correct. It's so fucking stupid. It makes no sense at all. Yep. Makes no sense. Yeah. Anyway, what were you talking about? Oh, so I would say that that Mako has come inshore

with something wrong to begin with and then has all these other. symptoms of toxic water. Do you know what I mean? Like to it. It's not necessarily toxic to the animals that live there. That usually happens midsummer when it gets stagnant and hot. But to the Mako, it's definitely got something going on its brain. Do you think it's dangerous? The Mako? Yeah. No, I think it's too jacked up. Damn. So it's probably only, it's probably, it's probably, it's only got a couple days left, huh? I'm surprised it's still alive. It says here, man, that guy in his forehead. It's, it should see if this guy can come on the show and defend him. The Hollywood

But Florida, live, live news. Against me, Peter started it. I would say that it, I'm surprised it's still alive. It says in the article that it's been there for a few days. I'm shocked it's still alive. So I know people who only listen to the show. I was just with one of them when I was skiing. And he listens to it, but only listens, doesn't.

But once in a while, we'll talk about something. He's like, fuck, I got to go go look on YouTube. More people who are only listeners will come to see this guy's forehead. than the shark or anything else we've talked about. And that's fair. Kyle, just pause frame on it for a good second. Oh, that's a good one right there. I mean, I think he's probably considered a handsome man. Yeah, I think he's got good hair.

He is uneniably a handsome man, but his forehead to face ratio is way off. I feel like he took that shirt right out of Pat's wardrobe from three years ago. That's what you call a five head. He's also got a four head. He's got a lovely spray tan. Oh, man. Look at Forrest talking about the size of somebody else's head. I got a fun one.

I just had a little quick fact question. Go ahead. If I was to say... It's interesting, it's a fact and a question at the same time. I was like, what is that fact question? It's a fact-s-win. A fact-shu. Go ahead.

So there is one insect. I'll give you that hint. That causes a penile erection that can last for several hours. We might have talked about it, but do you guys have any idea? And I'll give you a more hint. It's Brazilian. Okay, now can I ask a question? Is it an insect or is it an arachnacid?

It's an erectnessic. No. Helpful. Is it an arachnid? Yeah, it's an arachnid, you pig. I didn't know they were different. Okay, well, that's helpful. Well, I'm glad that you asked that question.

I just had a feeling it was a spider. You're right. So you've got Brazilian blank spider. Petus spider. The Brazilian cock spider. Yeah, Brazilian hardwood spider. Brazilian wandering spider causes a penal erection. The bite from it that can last for several hours.

I mean, is that only if it gets you on the penis? No, no, anywhere. It's like a Viagra. Can I just point out that we have just solved two problems at once. Yes. We've just solved the Indian River Lagoon crisis that I mentioned.

That's right. And we've just made a billion dollars. We got to go catch these spiders. All we have to do is figure out how to isolate the spider's dick-hardening properties. Not even. I mean, if you're one of those people who's afraid to take pills for erectile dysfunction,

just get a few of these, you know, a couple of these in a cage and you just put your hand in there. Let's test this repeatedly on Kyle. It says it causes an extremely painful erection. So I think it probably causes a priapism. You probably have to go to the ER. And get it like a little go to sleeper.

I think so because otherwise it'll, I think the tissue will get destroyed. If that must be a throbbing hard on. Let's take a dog leg into something awful for a moment. Man, I'm debating calling my friend. Should I, I'm going to call her. Let's see if she picks up. Let's see if she picks up.

It's my buddy's wife. Let me see if she picks up. Penis surgeon? Yeah. She knows a lot about penis. Speaking of which friend of the pot, I just saw Laura Zara announcing that she went back on

naked and afraid again. Oh, wow. I saw that Forrest commented on it too. I did. I couldn't believe she did it again, to be honest. Because she said, I think she said she wouldn't do it again when we asked her that question. But it's been 18 years, I feel like,

since she's been on. Let's see if Alyssa picks up. I hope she does. The penis surgeon. Dude, this story's insane and you got to get it from the horse's mouth. It's about it's about penises. Oh, my God. Let's see.

Come on, Alyssa. From the horse's penis. She's going to be like, Why is this guy calling me? Is it quite possible that she's in the operating room doing real work while we're recording this podcast? Yeah, of course it is. And if she doesn't pick up, that's the out that we'll give her. Leave her the message, though.

Ah. All right. I'm going to leave her message. Here we go. I'm going to. Oh, that's her phone number. 5, 5.5. All right.

This is a good podcast. So she's doing a surgery. Probably. Life saving. Longest voicemail greeting. Alyssa, hi. It's Forrest. I actually spoke to your husband earlier today.

I was calling because we're currently on air for the Wild Times podcast, and I was hoping you would tell the story of the very handsome young man who took the Viagra and then whose penis wouldn't go down, so you had to cut it off. What? I gave it away. I gave it away. No Barry in the lead here.

But I was hoping you'd tell us because the way you tell the story is tremendous. Hope you're having a lovely day enjoying those penises. All right. Well, so now we got to hear. Don't say her last name because I think she's, Did I? No. Oh,

But she's probably not allowed. There's like hippo regulations. I don't think a surgeon can just cut your cock off and then go on a podcast and talk about it. Well, okay, let me tell the story, as I recall it, just briefly. And you got the giveaway. She was working in the ICU. Yeah, I see you. Must have been.

And this guy came in and it was her and it was two other women. And they're all like pretty attractive younger girls. And this guy comes in and the three of them are like, oh my God, he's dreaming. Like he's so handsome. And this is the way she tells me the story. Oh, dear. And then they're like, what's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?

And he had taken Seales or Viagra, one of those things, and he'd had an allergic reaction. And it's like, it's like a one in a thousand type or no. More, one in ten million or something. No, no, it's not. Because it happens more often than you think. Like it's like one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, whatever. Yeah. But usually when that happens, you have to go in within like four hours and they give you an injection.

It goes away. Yeah. He had waited and waited and waited. He had come in after like 10 hours or something like that. It was necrotic. It was necrotic. Oh, my God. And he was in excruciating pain.

And her and these other three giggling gals had to have to loft the, they couldn't save it. Dude. They had to take it off. Okay. Kyle looks like he's about to puke. He's turned to green. It's my worst nightmare. I did see on that note that Tadafil, which is one of them, I don't know which one it is, but it's the generic.

To Dallafil. To Dadaafil. You know. You're an expert. Is this the same thing? You know how to pronounce words. Well, so it's, yeah, it's basically, I can't remember which one is the brand name, whether it's Seattleis or Viagra or whatever.

But so they're now, they're now selling this as a longevity thing. So they're saying, A hard jevity thing. You basically can go online now and see a doctor, like a telemedicine doctor, whatever. I don't even know if you actually talk to them. But I got like an ad for this. And it's being promoted as like a longevity. Like you take the pill and it's good for your heart.

It will make you live longer. So now these ED pills, I guess. Dude, I don't like the way this is going, by the way. You can just get whatever like compound you want online without talking to a doctor. Yeah, but I mean, in all fairness, these are drugs that aren't regulated in many other countries. Right. Exactly. Fair enough.

You don't, you don't know much about it. You seem to be an expert. I'm with Patrick in the sense of like, it's so annoying when I want like Xanax, for instance, right? you guys know I have zero anxiety issues if I'm on a 16 hour coach flight you better believe I'm taking a Xanax yeah it's like time traveling we've talked about it's not prescribed because I get it when I go to Mexico

because I have no excuses if I went to a doctor here and they're like why do you want Xanax I'd be like because I hate flying for 16 hours and coach uncomfortably and I like napping I'd be like fuck off I think they'd give it to you if you told them would they no dude so when we went to the Galapagos I we were gonna I knew we were gonna have like an eight hour boat ride. Oh, yeah. And I was like, man, like, it's just like, you know, I don't want to be sick. I just want,

I like, I might want to like, just half a Xanax just to like knock out on this like miserable boat ride. It was a small boat. And so I emailed my doctor. Yeah. And I just described it. And I just said, and I'm probably going to be really anxious. Could I just have a prescription for one Xanax that I'll split in half? I literally did a whole proposal. And he just said no. Oh, really? Yeah. He said, no. If you have anxiety, I recommend you like, go see psychiatrist. The most hurt piece of shit, I never talked to him again. Yeah. And then we landed in the Galapagos and there was a pharmacy and I just went and bought a bottle

of 150 Xanax for $10. Exactly. That I've still eight years later, like, I take like one every like three months. I still have my Galapagos Xanax as well. Yeah. But that's my whole point. And a cute little bottle. You go into those countries and they're like, yeah, if this helps you fly or nap or

whatever. Yeah. You know, it's like, it's one of those drugs, I believe. I don't know that much about Xanax, but you can't overdose on it. You know what I mean? Like, I think you take you. I'm sure you could. Don't take that to heart.

Yeah, that's medical advice. Not medical advice. Not your doctor. I know you can develop a tolerance to it very quickly to where you have to take larger and larger amounts. I don't know. I've taken probably less than 20 in my life. It's usually if I'm on a flight over 10 hours in coach.

Yeah, it's wonderful. Regardless, my point is it's completely unregulated. places like the Galapagos and you just buy it over the And Mexico. And Mexico, yeah. Same with the ED meds too. You know, you can get them in the UK and stuff I've heard in EU or you just buy them over the counter. Or you can buy them at a gas station. What?

Yeah, it's just called rhino. Yeah, rhino or the little shots in the purple thing. The pill is like, is that a pill? It's a size of a rhino. The size of an elephant bird. It's suppository. Yeah, sticking gas station pills up your ass. That'll get your hard.

No, you're actually supposed to use it on your partner. Oh my God. Jesus. that. Can we play a game? Yes. Is there a jingle? Just do a jingle. Can we make one? Just play a jingle. Press a button.

In the background, Kyle, pull up a finish sentence so we can maybe hear, look at, leave it. Oh, he's going to play the actual. That's the word lives, Kyle.

This is Dong yem-Ci. Wow. Dong-Gem-Ci. I think you, I think you nailed that. Dong-M-C. Dong-Gem-C. Three words, by the way. I'll go.

Mandarin donkey. Because it says dong for the first three. Dongimte. Dong gemte is Vietnamese for a langer. Okay.

But Kyle looks very disappointed. Yeah. Yeah. He has such a judging look when we used. He's very judgy. But why is it three words? Because I feel like every name of something in Vietnam is three words. All right.

Cambodian. I'm a loser. Cambodian for monkey. You said the same thing. You just ripped mine off. Oh. You guys are kind of close. What is it?

It's Zonka. Zonka, which is the official language of Bhutan. Ah. I should have known that. For Tuckin. Pull up a Tuckin. And what was the language again? It's Bhutan.

Unbelievably violent, crazy fucking thing. It's hard to tell. It looks like a ram. Huge. Like 400 pounds? Yeah, like 400 pounds. like towers over you. That's a scary looking animal.

The one that I got to meet recently. It's like a bull and a ram. Her name was like bubbles or something. It had this like lovely name. Yeah. And then you call her over. So yeah, see it next to the guy there in the, in the little thing. The ones I met were bigger than that.

But so they're goat relative, the Mishmi Taki. And I got to meet one recently. And you call it over. You're like, bubbles, bubbles. And it comes over like, yeah. No, it's like super friendly and sweet and even like nuzzles against like, the side of the wall. And I was talking to the guy. I was like, can I go, can I go in with her? He's like, oh, fucking way you're going in with her. And as I'm petting her, she goes from like

nuzzling like this, me with the mic to just like, like, oh boy. Fucking headbutt. Ow, that hurt. Don't use your nose. Extreme like aggression trying to kill me. Where did headbutt you in the chest? No, it hit the cage. Oh, okay. Just through the bars. But then immediately went back to like purring and seeking attention.

Like completely spas. Just like light switch flipping. What does a Takien per sound like? Like actually sound like a cat? No, they make like farty noises. Yeah, pretty farty. Yeah, evidently there's a shoe that has the same name. Yeah, go to the talking tachine. Let's go with that.

Token. Is it called a Tocin? No. Okay. And then we'll keep them together until... Well, we're just going to listen to this guy. All right. That's horrible.

They make kind of farty noises. But yeah, no, really weird, because it would just go back and forth between being very, like, loving and friendly and wanting to murder you with all of its might for, like, 15 seconds. Which one was this? The Dong Yemsei? Yeah.

So what did I say, Mandarin? Yes. So it is from China. Just want to point that out. That's what the guy just said. Give him his half a point. Let him win today. That's a full point.
