Woo! Here we go. Wild Times late night show, the Skinnamax of podcasts as Papa P would, or no, as Peter would say, not Papa P. I got my fat tree for whatever, whatever Peter calls it.

I'm hoping it's fat, tap of fat tire. Here we go, Wild Times podcast number 781, Kyle, is that right? Very close. In the chat. Yeah.

I think you're about three, four, 600 off. I know, 128. whatever. I'm your host, Forrest Galante, the broologist. It's late. We're all old men. We're staying up late. We're having a beer together. It's cocktail hour. And joining me is the PhD in podcasting himself, Mr. Peter Fitzer. What's up? Hey, tired, just had a second child, getting my wits about me. It's been a day or two now, so I'm okay. You're done with your dude. Yeah, I was thinking about just leaving the house tonight, never returning. So, well, that's called the Guanté model of a new boy. That's correct. Yeah. Sweetie, I have to work. I'm going to Florida to hang out with my friends for nine days. Do you do, do you actually do the air quotes? Like if you're on the phone

with her. I have to work. No, that would give it away. And of course, no, on the phone, on the phone, I said. Sorry. If you don't know him, he is the Papa P himself, the producer, Papa P. P. Patrick, the spice one. What's up, man? Congrats to re-tap. I'm glad to see you. You know, you look great. Don't you know how many bags under your eyes?

It looks like you might have got a spray tan. You look great for having a filter on my camera. No, I'm very excited. Silk. Go ahead. Look, I'm excited. I want to get into there. There's some great news stories.

Yes. Yeah. Do me a little favor. Move your head out of the logo. Just get in the middle of your square, dude. You see that logo? Can you see it? Do you see it?

But it is interesting. The boys are my square. Yeah, I know. You need a little pizzazz. Anywho, you're very... Monday night, getting ready to watch Monday night. Football, it's going to be fun. Forrest, yep.

What's in the news, buddy? What's in the news? Well, I think the entire foundation of this podcast is basically based around a slight obsessive and combative battle over thylacine. And some big news in the world, If you don't know what we're talking about, yeah, you should. I don't know what this news story is.

Even I saw this. Thinking about Neil Waters all day long. Well, I desperately avoid animal news and I know about this. The guys, big deal, big deal. For the first time in history, researchers have successfully extracted, sequenced, and analyzed RNA from a 130-year-old thylacine specimen. This is the first time that RNA has ever been recovered

from any extinct species. of any kind. Oh, dude, I didn't know that. Wow. This is a big, big deal. And obviously, leaps and bounds for the field of the extinction. Yeah. Yeah, beautiful.

Leaps and bounds for the field of de-extinction, which is really exciting. The extracted RNA was obtained from the skin and skeletal muscle tissues of the desiccated thylacine specimen, as you're seeing here. The RNA sequence were found to code for protein, providing insight into the thylacine cells. Most importantly, it provides insight into the biology and the metabolism right before the animal died. So what this does is it tells those working in the field of the extinction. Here's how the animal functions, basically, right, from a cellular level and allows that de-extinction process to, you know, it just accelerates it tremendously because we've obviously

been able to do DNA, but now we're doing RNA. So this is a big deal. So which, first of all, it was, this was the natural history museum of Stockholm. Right. Sweden. Swedish people, they just, they just get it right. Like, I trust anything out of Sweden. Happiest place on earth. Dude, if it comes from a Scandinavian country,

I'm just unequivocally like, yep, you got it. That's, you're very good. Everything right. Whatever it is. Yeah. No questions. Yeah. Yeah.

Part of my understanding, too, is that the RNA is like a messenger that communicates with the DNA. Right. That carries instructions, basically, from the DNA on how proteins need to be synthesized, which obviously sounds very useful if you're trying to bring an animal back from the dead. Right. If you're building it all and you need that exact communication. It's like the other half of the instructions, basically.

Pretty much. It's the Wi-Fi. It's the Wi-Fi. That's a good way to put it. That's basically my understanding. I know, yeah. So, you know, for me, it's, I'm not a cellular biologist. there's a reason I left that very early in my career.

But all I know coming out of this is that it makes leaps and bounds in, you know, gene edging technologies and tools that can benefit all kinds of things when it comes to the extinction of this animal. So it's a big deal for them to pull this out of the thylacine. Do we know, is there is, did a colossal have anything to do with this? I know there was some big colossal news that just came out. There is another colossal story, which we, we can certainly talk about around the white rhino.

Oh, I couldn't remember. Oh, the white rhino. If we're on the topic of de-extinction slash extinction, let's just get into this one. It's a good segue. Yeah, the white rhino thing? Yeah, no, it's really cool. So, first of all, I don't know. I haven't spoken to anybody about at Colossil since this news came out, which for me was today.

Right, but the white rhino thing is the thing I was thinking of. That's over a week ago. So, yeah, Colossil teamed up with Bio Rescue to save the northern white rhino from extinction. which is incredible. They're functionally extinct, you know, due to poaching. There's literally only two females left in the world. Oh, crap. So obviously when you only have two females of anything,

there is no hope for the future. There is no reproductive possibilities. Right. So the partnership between colossal and bio-rescue, the whole point is to assess the genetic diversity in the historic samples of Northern White Rhino, you know, male, of course, and employ like genomic sequencing and gene editing to improve the genetic diversity and ultimately

figure out a way to add genetic diversity back into these females in embryonic stages and breed them and end up, you know, saving them from extinction. So, you know, the goal of restoring genetic diversity, this mitigates disease impacts. It addresses adaptability to climate change, all kinds of things for these animals. So it's a really, really exciting partnership. And it's, it's, It's great because it's the kind of thing, Colossal, what they are doing is what they should be doing. But it's, I think people associate colossal with, oh, they're bringing back woolly mammoths. It's like, yes, but they're a giant conservation biotech company. And like this is a, this one just happened to make headlines, which is great for them.

But they're doing a lot of work like this. So this is a good, like, PR thing for them to be like, look, it's not just about mammoths. Like, we're literally here going to save the northern white rhinos. So it's good. It's amazing. Yeah, it's really, really. And there's only, there's only what? Two, two males left.

Two female just died. Oh, two females. And the male recently died just a couple years ago within the past five, ten years or something. Three or four years ago now. I remember when he died, that was like it. That was like send off. And it was like devastating. It was big news.

Yeah, I remember that. And that was it. That was send off to the species because it was like, all right, well, that's the last male gone. You know, 2018, Kyle put in the chat is when it happened. So, yeah. Can I do a little quiz? I mean, Forrest, you're, you're an African. Yep.

Well, you're an American also, but you're born and raised in Africa. Peter, no Googling. Born and raised in Downer's Grove, Illinois. Kyle, can you pull up a picture of a white rhino, Northern white rhino, please? Peter, yeah. Why is it called a white rhino? I thought you look at the picture.

It looks gray. I don't know. Why is it called a white rhino? Oh, dude, you know, that's really interesting because every time I visualize this in my head and even thinking about pictures I've looked at, I could have sworn that it was an albino rhino. An albino rhino, that's funny. Dude, I don't know. Dude, I don't know. I thought like, because we have a picture up here where it looks very brown and golden, but there's a picture where the horn at least looks very white.

Well, hold on. Let's do this. Let's do this. I might be able to help you slightly, Peter. Yes, that's a good idea. Another photo or maybe pull up Northern versus or sorry, white versus black rhino because those are the two kinds. And maybe maybe if you look at the faces, you'll be able to tell them apart. So it looks like there may be, the white rhino has a longer forehead, the black rhino, a shorter forehead.

I don't know what that has to do with it. No, it just says that in the picture. I have no idea. Tell me, please. I'm dying to know. Do you know the answer, Patrick? I do. I do know the answer of why it's called a white rhino. You don't speak fluent Afrikaans, do you for us?

No, no, I don't speak any Afrikaans other than a couple of casual greetings. You happen to know the word in Afrikaans for white, wide? Vide. Vide. Yep. So, Vide, which means wide, was missed. They just called the animal Vide. Because it was a big, yeah, it was a big fucking wide.

Yeah, he's got a big, big, wide. Wide vino. Yeah. It's the lip that makes it different. Correct. Yeah. The face. I think it's the face, but definitely around the mouth.

Yeah, there you go. See that? Weidtryno. So that's, that's like, I'm German. Wait, so are you literally telling me that Vite just translated to white rhino? No. English, Europeans came in and misinterpreted what they were calling it and thought they were calling it a white rhino. This is a wide.

A wide rhino. See the mouthpieces of the black versus the white rhino. the white rhino see how the mouth is much wider that's a wide rhino aka white rhino dude that is ridiculous and makes me feel way better about myself so speaking of speaking what if we called you vide peter yeah we should call you vide peter what about a vide receiver oh is that is that are you talking about monday night football baby it's coming up i think we should we got a little something cooking tonight monday night football i yeah baby i am having a lot of fun. This is a little joy for me. Oh, nice. Lovely. Yeah, because I like to,

I like to, I like to, I like to, to, to, to, to enjoy my sports and, and, like to game, you're gamer. Have some things going on? Prize picks. You like to pick your prizes. You guys gotten into it. Yeah. Just because we started talking about it. It's, it's pretty fun. I know. Yeah, you got this science nerd over here into prize picks. Dude, let me, quick, quick, side story here. I stopped watching football years ago because I'm a bear's fan, and they sucked. for like a decade and they never get better. But now I'm actually excited to watch Monday night football tonight. It's a very fun way to increase your enjoyment of watching sports.

The most fun I've had winning 25 times my money is football season. What are your picks? What are your picks? Hang on, hang on. I'm going to tell people how to do this. Okay. Because we got a little code for the nerds excited. Okay, so you want to try.

Yeah, because I'm trying to learn. You select, all you got to do is you go on, you select two or more players. All you do is you pick more or less on their projected stats. So they post a number. It's more or less, you place your entry. It's definitely a very fun way to get into daily fantasy that is not super difficult. You've tried to get me into fantasy for going on six years. And I'm always like, it's way too complicated.

I was like, all right, I'll take a look at prize picks because you keep badgering me about it. And it was just like, here you go, do this, do this, do this, boom. And I was ready to go. And I was like, all right, I can do this. I can do this. All right. And even Forrest can do it. All right.

So let's, let's do it. Let's give our picks for the Monday night game, our best, our best more or less. Yes. Forrest, what do you got? I'll go first. I went for that nerd, Daniel Jones, going less. I mean, look at him, man. He looks like a nerd for a professional athlete.

And that's coming from a professional nerd. Daniel Jones less than 34.5 rushing yards, for sure. That's a good one because I think people think he's a little faster than he is. He's not that quick. I don't even know anything about him. He has the same chance of getting 30, of getting more than 34 and a half as I would if I was playing. I'm playing this like a attractive woman watching The Bachelor.

I have no idea. I don't know anything about him. Don't know anything about his stats or his abilities. I just looked at his picture and was like, this guy's not that good. That's how I did. Dude, literally did the exact same thing. My top pick was Tyler Lockett,

less than 53.5 receiving yards, just because he's tiny and meager looking. That's a great. That's the way he looks. That's how easy prize picks is. Yeah. My pick is 100% based on a guy who's pooped all over

my season long fantasy team so far this year. I'm going Darren Waller more than 45 and a half receiving yards. That's my pick of the week. Well, anyway, I get excited because it's, you know, Mondays are tough. Prize picks, baby. No, but I'm just saying, like having something to look forward to, like Monday night football, it helps me. Dude, my life better.

A hundred percent. I am excited to watch football for the first time in five years. The Bears suck. I'll end this on that. Yeah, they're garbage. All right. So what's in the news other than extinction and rhinos? Hey guys, if you're enjoying...

have you had any moments since your lightning strike? And then the guy encouraging you to go to the ER and get an EKG. Have you had any moments where you felt something? You're like, ooh, is that the lightning? Yes, and you're going to laugh. but it happened last night. Literally. Wet dream.

No, it's so stupid. I was a touch rugby Thursday night last night. I was a touch rugby Thursday now. Kick off of the night of rugby. I catch the ball, step three guys and run in for a try without getting touched. And somebody.

I'm sorry. I have to interrupt. Did you just say catched? I might have. But I didn't carry on. This is worse than out of space. He said catched. I didn't.

not. Did I say that? You said catched. Go on. You catch the ball. I caught the ball. Step three, guys, and ran it in for a try with nobody touching me, literally as the opening play of the night. And somebody goes, it's the fucking lightning. And, uh, like that whole team started laughing. And I was just like, yeah, might be the lightning. That is the only, your new nickname. It's the only side effect I've had is me being slightly better. And by the way, let me, let me just tell you something real quick. I'm going to doggle, I guess, for a second. there is nothing than being a there's nothing better for your ego than being a mediocre athlete on a below average team of athletes like you feel are such a champion yeah i got to you're like oh my god i'm good why am i not a professional and you're like oh that's why i look at my competition this is this is why i'm going to join my kid's t-ball team yeah exactly go out there smashing homers oh man dude I went to the park.

I went to this park. Oh, did I just interrupt your story? I did continue. It was done, wasn't it? Me? I'm done. That was the whole story. I got nothing else.

I feel great. I feel fine. That was a complete coincidence. But no, I'm good. People are talking. People are talking about somebody mentioned it today. Jared.

Oh, Jared Hick. Yeah. He was just like, I was on the phone with him. He was like, hey, your boy,

Forrest. I saw he got hit by lightning the other day. It's good. Well, Barstool reposted it the other day. So that, that ad is that. That added an element of, of whodunitry.

So, yeah. Dude, get Rogan on the phone, dude. Get Rogan on the horn. You got to get on there and talk about getting struck by lightning. Now, it's a 30 second conversation. There's nothing more to it. Dude, Rogan can stretch that out for three and a half hours. He could.

I know. I went to the park. There's this little park that we go to in Malibu. It's nice. It's like 20 minutes from my house. And they got a couple little league fields. and as someone who never had a home run in Little League, you know, it was like this thing.

And, you know, most, most of the people who had home runs in Little League were like, it was their last year when they were 12. Yeah, I never got one. It wasn't very good. And I'm looking at these kids playing and I'm like, man, I can fucking crank them out of here, dude. Yeah. And like, I'm just watching it and I'm like,

I think I might come back, like, alone with a bat and a ball and just, I just need to see what it feels like to crank one out of a little league field. It sounds sexual, but yeah, did you do it? No, I said crank one out of. I didn't say crank one out again. It does sound sexual, though. Wait, so have you done this? I mean, no, this was like a week.

Like, I haven't had any time. I'm coming out there with my fucking cell phone and I'm going to record you doing this. This will be the best content while times ever puts out is you trying to crank a home or out of a little league field. Obviously, I'll just immediately, immediately, just get hit by lightning. it'll hit the aluminum bat. Dude. Then you'll steal

Forest title of the lightning. Dude, home run derby, us three and Kyle out of the Little League field 20 minutes away from Pat's house. This is the exact setup for the movie,

The Ringer, by the way, where Johnny Knoxville, have you guys seen that movie? Is it Johnny Knoxville? Yeah. Oh, it's so good. Johnny Knoxville

thinks he's going to enter the Special Olympics and just smoke everybody to win the prize money. So, you know, he acts like he has a disability. and enters into the Special Olympics, only to get completely smoked by everybody

because they're actually tremendous athletes. It's so funny. It's such a good premise. Yeah, it's really good. So funny, dude. And there's a line in there where the guy goes, when the fuck do we get ice cream? And it's just like, if you're watching it,

you couldn't make that movie today. It's like trying to make the office today, right? I couldn't do it. I'm feeling like we're going to get canceled just for mentioning it. I don't care. It's so funny. I recommend everybody watch it. It's a piece of cinema.

It's great. And yeah, anyway, that line like there's nobody who hasn't heard that line that didn't just fall down laughing it's just no it's it's genius dude i really uh i'm excited to join my kids sports teams as a competitor and not the coach oh can i can i bring something up that's just gonna it's gonna create a massive rift in our brosner community and i'm actually with it's highly controversial it's going to create a big rift it's going to make a lot of people hate somebody on this pod. Okay. Jesus. I hope it's not me. It's not just telling you how this works. Okay. Kyle pointed out in our, in our little private messaging here, he said they're trying to reboot the office,

which is great. Great news for me. Great news for you, Peter. Not great news for the Spiceman doesn't like the office. Oh, dude. Well, I've got two problems with this. Number one, I'm not on your side for us because I hate reboots and it'll be horrible. But number two, Fuck off, Pat. What? You don't like the office? That's crazy. Who doesn't like the office?

That's what I'm saying. Everybody loves the office. I mean, like, okay, I'm not talking about like the final, the last season's Will Ferrell and all that bullshit. He doesn't watch them. You, right? You haven't watched them. You didn't get into it.

Not even the first couple seasons. Like, let me explain. Let me, let me explain something. Before I throw them under the bus. The Office. A show called The Office is my number one favorite comedy of all time. I'm aware.

I've seen every episode at least 10, times, I've listened to every podcast of the main cast member. I was obsessed with the British office starring Ricky Jervais. That's where people really found out about Ricky Jervais. Then when the American version came out, I was just like, oh, I just don't think I'm going to get started on this. Like, it's going to feel weird. And so I just never watched it.

It's not that I hate it or think people who like it are dumb. I just love the British version so much that I don't want to watch the American. The fact that you said it's not like I think that the people who watch the American version of the officer dumb makes me 1,000% think that you think that the people know, because most of my favorite people that I associate with in the world love the American I just never watched it. No, no. I didn't know at that time of my life where I wasn't watching sitcoms either.

You had a bad taste in your mouth because you had already seen the original version of the office. It does kind of make you sound like a big old snob boy. Look, I like that version. Which is fair. He's allowed to have that opinion, but he's literally, I don't care what you say. The only person I've ever met who's like, I don't know anything about like care for whatever, the American office. Refuses to watch it. Well, dude, I've never seen Top Gun either, the original or the new one.

You're kidding. Come on. No. No. I don't even like movies and I've seen Top Gun. Yeah, I just, like, yeah, I'm just not going to watch it. I just haven't watched it at this point. You know, that makes you feel better about your position on the office, really.

I'm not even kidding. Like, now it makes you feel a little more genuine. Well, and everybody's, let's actually, let's do a little game here. Everybody's got one of those, right? Everybody, I don't care who you are. I'll tell you what mine is. Never watched a single Mission Impossible movie. Never going to.

Okay. I've heard, I've heard they're wonderful. I've heard they're great. Tom Cruise is an icon. Never seen one. Never, no interest. Yeah, yeah. What's yours?

Listen, I mean, I'm trying to think. It's something, it's so difficult for my brain to reverse the process of something that I like and watch religiously. Just something that like, I just. Go for something that's like cult following massively loved that you're like, I just don't care. I'm just not going to watch it. Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter, like any of those. Oh, okay, sure.

I mean, Harry Potter's a cop out. But 100% Harry Potter truly, truly for me is, and I'm even annoyed like, that Harry Potter is at Disneyland here in California and shit. It's so dumb, dude. It's a universal. Shut the phone. You've never seen a single Harry Potter film? Me?

No. Definitely not. Yeah, that's one. That's definitely one. It becomes a point of pride to have not seen the movie. Because people get so mad. And that's where I'm at with the Fast and the Furious movies. I saw the first one.

Never seen another one since. And people actually get upset that I've never. They're like, you haven't seen Fast 4. 14. I'm like, no, neither of I seen 13 through two. Like, you know why? That's because you're coaching 20 year olds who play rugby. I know. Those are the ones who are saying that to you. It's no one already. You're like, you haven't seen the new Vin Diesel flick. You know, Pat, put me in a bad mood just now and I'm trying to get over it, but it's hard. I mean, come on,

dude. How am I supposed to fucking know it's at universal and not Disneyland? Oh, I didn't even know what you're talking about. It's just so rude, man. I still want to get sued by Disney, man. I've also never seen any of the diehards or lethal weapons. Wow. Now this is a problem. You're making this song.

That's a mistake. That's crazy. I've never seen five minutes of any of those movies. Great movies. Why the fuck? Will you? Will you do it this holiday season? If you watched it with me,

are you in the, Are you from the camp of people that consider diehard a Christmas movie? Yes. Yeah. Holiday, holiday Thanksgiving or Christmas. Yeah, it's a holiday class.

I'd like to watch it with both of you. I'd like to be sitting in the middle on the surface. Can Ethan come? No, that's disgusting. Sorry, that nobody knows what I'm talking about. Can we play a game?

Yeah, I think we just did, but yeah. Let's do another one. More than Mary. All right. I got a little game. So I found,

I found, it's called Animal Trivia. Oh, good. It's animal related. Thank God. So I found, because sometimes they're a little easy. Sometimes, you know, they're a little too easy. That's what some of the brosiers have said. I found one that says only, only the smartest, most knowledgeable animal enthusiasts will get these right, a little trivia quid.

Should I sit out or? I'm out. No, it's kind of fun. Okay, let's go. It's actually not. They're not all that insane. Okay. So I'm going to do, what do you think?

Let's do five questions. Yeah. One of each point system. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Okay. All right. Here's the first question.

You and I, Peter, as usual. Yeah. Yeah. I'll keep SCO. Peter, compare the size of a, this is one point will be awarded to whoever gets closer. Okay. Without going over?

No, we're not doing Bob Barker rules. We're not doing that. No, no. That's so confusing. I'm going to let Forrest go first to give you a little advance. here, Peter. Whoever gets both. Okay, I like it.

That's smart. Compare the size of a newborn panda for us to a common food item. Okay. Okay. A newborn panda. Huh. Common food item is the size. I mean, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's the size of this fat truer right here. Size of a beer can. Wow. Goal a can. What's a fat truer? Yeah, fat truer.

If that's her. Fat tire, our sponsor for years. No, I intentionally said it like shenanigans. Go on. I'm going to say it's the same size as a spaghetti squash. Oh, I unfortunately have to award one point to Forrest Galante. Nice. What was the food item, though?

A stick of butter. Oh, interesting. I was trying to think of something like small and round. How do you know what a spaghetti squash weighs versus a fat tire can? I've seen a few. I've seen a few. Tis the season of spaghetti squad. Okay, that was a good one.

I like the framing of that. Again, whoever gets closer, Forrest will again go first because he's in the lead. Forrest, how long could a Galapagos tortoise go without having even

a simple little lick of water? Good question. I'm going to say three months, a dry season, three months. Okay. You know, the wrong with, with forest going first is that I can't tell if he's acting or not. He might be throwing, but all you have to do, it's like prize picks, just do more or less. Right.

If I am, yeah, if I am. It's true. It's true. All right. So, uh, you said what? Three months? Three and a half? Yep.

Three months. Three months. I'm going to say, I'm going to go, uh, 12 months. Wow. That is Karam. Peter, there you go. 12 months. 12 months.

They're getting their moisture from the cactus, from the cacti. I was just like, dude, yeah, I was going to say like a camel, I feel like gets zero water for decades. So a tortoise. Water, they just stick a straw in their buddy's hump and drink out of it. Exactly. All right. I love that picture of the tortice that Kyle just brought up. It was a nice big long neck.

If someone, so now I'm going to throw it out. I'm going to ask this question. the first person to answer correctly, if they know it, will be a word of the point, because I think you'll both know this. Okay. Okay. What, which mammal has no vocal cords of any kind?

Well, know it? How would know this? Yeah, I don't know. I'd dissect one and be like, oh, that's why it doesn't think. I'm still thinking. I'm still, yeah, same. There's a silent mammal. Yeah.

I know it. That, that. That. No, because they make a little shrieky sound. Yep. Now, now, Forest cannot. Can you give us a little hint? Give us a little hint.

And then we're still going to go, whoever gets it first off the hint. It's a good. I don't know the answer. Don't Google. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.

I'm done. I'm not saying anything. No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. That's not it. Oh, he Googled it. I actually haven't. I actually haven't got there yet.

I stopped. He did a majestic long tongue. A giraffe. Correct. No. Giraffes have no vocal cord. Dude, that's fascinating, man. Their neck's probably too long.

Like the length of the cord. That's so true, too. That makes perfect sense. Yes. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Wow, do we guess right? Kyle just confirmed it's because the next too long to have vocal cords, man.

Wow. That's interesting. There you go. We're all learning on this pod. We're still learning. It doesn't matter if we're alleged animal expert here, over here, me. still learning. All right.

This is kind of easy. So let me go first then. Well, you won the last one, so you have to. It's going to be the first. It's a little bit of a trick question. So first one to, oh yeah, you're up two to one. So you have to go first. Yep.

Peter, what is the largest herbivore in all of North America? Oh, God. The largest herbivore. I'm glad he's going first. Yeah. This is ludicrous. I don't even know what a fucking herbivore is. Yes, you do.

I do know what it is. I'm going to say a human being. Or is that an omnivore? I'm sticking with it. A moose. Moose. Wrong? Let me go again.

That was wrong? Wow. Actually, no. I'm going to give a clue. First one to yell it out. Okay, here we go. Okay. Leison.

It's a quote. Correct. That was my next. He said okay. How did you get bison? Because that was my second guess. I thought moose was technically bigger. I didn't know how they defined bigger, but...

It is the largest mammal in all of North America. Wow. All right. So it's two to two. Wait, so the bison is also the largest mammal in addition to the largest herbivore? That's why I said it's a little bit of a trick question. Yeah, right. I copy that.

I went like biggest. I was like a moose is bigger, but it's not as heavy. So I didn't really know. But yeah, that's why I was had that ready to go. This is going to be the tiebreaker. I'm going to let Peter go first for that reason. Certainly. This might be obvious.

Like, Forrest, you might know this right off the bat. I find this to be one of the most interesting things I've ever heard. Which animal is invisible when viewed through an infrared camera? Oh, wow. I'm going to go with a snake. I don't know. Cold-blooded. It's not a bad guess.

Whatever. I don't know why this is true, so I'm going to start looking it up. So it's definitely not a snake. It is not a snake. What animal is invisible through an infrared? A jellyfish. That is not correct. Nope.

Okay. Hint, and we shout it out. Sudden dad. I'm going to give you a hint, but it's a visual hint, which I will describe later to the listeners. I'm covering my nose with my hand. Skunk. No, I'm not doing the P-U thing. What doesn't have a nose?

This is ridiculous. I have no idea what is happening. Give us something else. It's just a bad charade, dude. You got to do something else, something else. It will make sense later. It sure will, but not until we know what the animal is. What if I was perfectly camouflaged for my environment except my nose?

And I had to cover it when I was hunting because my nose stood out in the environment, but the rest of me didn't. Okay. That's good. Cover your nose. nose while hunting. Follow your nose. Now you know it's a predator.

It's perfectly camouflaged for its environment, except its nose stands out. A color of it? Correct. Oh, that is smart. I know why, too. I think I know why too. Go ahead. I looked it up, but go ahead.

Well, no, because you're saying infrared, not thermal. Well, I would think because the light refraction off of the whiteness of the whiteness of the fur is so perfectly camouflage, like you said, with its environment, that nothing stands out except for the nose for the skin. I want to add, hold on, don't say. But their fur isn't actually white.

It's translucent, isn't it? Look at that. That may be true, Peter. It made us win that. That made it win that thing that we did. Okay, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. So what is it officially? No, because the infrared technically is detecting, is detecting.

somehow it has to do with the heat. So because they have so much fat under the skin that heat levels, they literally don't register on an infrared because they're not emitting enough. Yeah, because it's so well insulated. It's all contained. It's interesting. Honestly, the more interesting thing to me is that they cover their nose when they hunt. How bummed would you be forced if you were on an expedition where you're like,

this is going to get hairy with Poli? Bears. Like there's a lot of them like let's make sure we bring the Fleer cams. Yep. Bring all the I-R stuff. Yep. You get out there and there's like a local PA. He's like, well, you know, they're not detectable on flea. I'd tell them it was full of shit. I'd be like, I know more than you. This is nonsense. You don't know what you're talking about. And then I'd be wrong. That's what I like about you though. You're wrong a lot and you don't care. Nope. Sure don't. Sure don't. You always admit when you're wrong, though. I like that about you. I will definitely admit when I'm wrong, which is quite often. You do.

Which a lot of people don't, which is annoying. Yeah, I remember the first time I went on Rogan and everybody was like, you know, oh, dude, you do Rogan, whatever. And Pat called me up and goes, dude, you know what you did best on Rogan? I'm like, what? He's like, you admitted when you didn't know something. I was like, isn't that what everybody does? He's like, no, that's the opposite of what most Joe Rogan guests do. They just say something if they don't know the answer. And you're just like, I don't know.

Which, you know, where you just, you were like, yeah, I actually don't know that one. And a lot of times people are like, well, I think it's, um, and then you're like, ah, you don't fucking know. Yeah. And then you put Joe on the spot and Joe's got to come up with another question. See, that way you put the, uh, all the pressure on the interviewer. Was that wasn't my intent, but yeah. No, I did. I was just kidding.

It didn't come off. No, it does. It does interviewer. He is. Dude, he's next level. But anyway, um, well, there you go. That was a good game. Dude, I like it.

Forrest, I, really good. We were just recently all together in Florida. Indeed. And we talked a lot just when we were there, like, oh, my God, like, Tegu were running rampant. Like, we were talking a lot about basic species. I started looking into, like, Florida animals and stuff. I discovered an animal that I had never heard of before that I'm real interested in. Okay.

It's not invasive to Florida. Okay. It's an amphibian surprising. Can I guess what it's called? Yeah. Do you want to give me a hint or should I just guess? It's an amphibian and its name sounds like amphibian. Two-toed amphioma.

Dude, had no idea this thing existed. Hey, brosters, thank you for being loyal subscribers. We appreciate everything that you do. And now we have a membership offer for you.

It's debated between that and the greater siren, which is North America's largest salamander. But these are these swamp dwelling amphibians that live in the muck layer. And I actually saw one when I was there on this last. Oh, you did?

They're apparently hard to catch and hard to find. Grab my dip net and it was, it shot out of there. I didn't even get close to it. But he won. And, yeah, the thing that I find the most interesting, maybe you can pull this up, Kyle, amphiuma jaw or, or bite or something like that. People are legitimately scared of these things. So I went out, this will probably film some footage.

it'll never, never end up going anywhere because we didn't find one. And we're wading around in this swamp that's knee deep with gators everywhere at headlamps on. And it's like pure mucky, gnarly, sticky swamp, like stinking, rotting vegetation trying to find these things. Florida swamp. Yeah. And, yeah, you don't want to take a bite from amphiuma. They have these gnarly teeth. And apparently it's like pretty awful.

Everybody that's been bit by one says it's excruciating. What, so Pat, Pat, why did you fall in love with, with the, with this creature. They're just so interesting looking. I mean, it's like a cross between like a moray eel and a snake and what I think of as a salamander. And they're, they're just interesting looking and they're, you know, they're native to Florida. I think they're native to Florida. They are. Yeah. Yeah. And scientists are like trying to catch more of them and study them because they're like, they're such a good indicator species of like what's going on with the environment. Yep. And I just, I had never heard of it. And they're super cool.

looking. There's another cool animal that also lives there called the Greater Siren. Can you pull that one up? Quickly, Kyle. Which, uh, it's like the, the amphium is like the, the hell dog version of a greater siren. A greater siren is like a much more peaceful looking, uh, animal, but you'll see here. This is, this is the greater siren. It's like a long skinny axolodal or mud puppy or something, but the amphiuma has a much more devilish look about it. I was going to say, these are cute. The amphibular, Umah literally has the, the head and face of a hippopotamus. It's ludicrous. The, uh, the amfumas apparently do really well in captivity too.

I, I, I know a guy who, I think he caught it, but I don't really know. He has a huge tank with one in it. And it's huge. It's like they get really big, by the way, Peter. They get like three feet long. They get massive. These are not like little slugs like this. They're like fucking massive.

Could literally take off one of your fingers, no problem. I don't think so. I don't think they have the bite force. for it, but it is allegedly incredibly painful. Where is the guy who has one in a tank? In South Florida. Like a roadside thing, like one of those near the skunk ape headquarters area. It might actually be at skunk ape headquarters.

I can't really remember. But I just remember seeing one in a tank and was like, holy crap. And he's like, yeah, found that in the swamp. And I was like, damn, how's it? You know, and I was like, oh, wow, that's an amphiuma. How's it doing captivity? He's like, I had it for 10 years. This thing's great, you know?

I was like, whoa. By the way, I had a real good time with you guys in Florida. I know we haven't talked about it much on this pod, but we did go into it in depth on the last bonus pod we did on Patreon. Yeah, we showed your buttocks. We recounting your buttocks on Patreon. Recounting all of our good times, all of our good times in Florida at AnimalCon was probably the highlight of my month,

even just recounting them. It was better than AnimalCon itself. I just want to point out that. your child was born day before yesterday. Yeah, well, listen, I mean, there's the thing that we talked about in the bonus pod, I don't know if I should even get it. Well, I missed my flight. So there, we know.

But it was, it was. So here's what we're going to do because there's much swearing, debauchery, some illicit substances, and Peter's naked bottom. If you want to hear about what happened at the aftermath of AnimalCon and how Peter missed his flight, go check out the Patreon. if you're not a subscriber too damn bad because there's no way we'd be allowed to clip that out and put it on YouTube. So, yeah, go have a listen over there. But it is very funny.

Yeah, we tell stories about being at AnimalCon with all the brosters who came out interviewing all the people. It was legit, probably one of the best times I've had in a really long time. And, you know, it was fucking great. Peter, where's that? Go ahead. Patrick. I just, I was laughing again today. thinking about Peter expelling Corbyn Maxie from the pool.

Forcifully and with the like vitriolic guttural utterings of a fucking hippopotamus. It was not a giraffe though. But it was it was it was all in jest. Corbyn posted a picture of us of him up on stage with us on at AnimalCon. And it and it tagged wild times, but I thought he tagged me. I was like, oh my God, Corbyn Max, he tagged me. And I was like, oh, fuck, it's the wild times of coming tag. Corbin's the man.

Love Corbyn. Love that guy. You had so many laughs with that guy. Yeah, he's hilarious. So, listen, Edwin put a game together. It's going to be a little bit different, but I really like it. And it's called the Animal Skulls game. And what we're going to do is we're going to look at a skull.

Cal go in order. And we're going to pull it up. And you guys are going to take a crack at what animal the skull belongs to. Now, this is a really good game for you to host, because I feel like you would know a lot of these. Correct. Well, it reminded me, the amphiuma thing reminded me of it when we looked at that jaw structure. And I was like, you know, nothing else has a skull like, and then I was like, ooh, animal skull game. So yeah, for sure.

I think we should play it. I think you'll like it. I'm very happy to play this against Pat, not you. I'll put it that way. Yeah, it sucks when you're in that situation. Are we doing Bob Barker rules? No, because I don't know how to do that. I don't know how that would work with trying to get some animal.

What do you got? All right, Kyle, pull up the first one. Pull up the first skull. Ooh, okay. Okay. So it has, it looks small to me. It's got a little knobby top skull bit. Three inches.

It's not, yeah, okay. It's not a dragon contrary to the image. It has incredibly long, sharp fangs that are pointing backwards. Huh. Okay. I know what I think it is. Go ahead. So, I mean, listen, the top part of the head with the scales looks like some type of reptile.

I got to go to snake. It just looks like a snake. But the teeth really confuse me. But still, I got to go with just, I'll go with a rattlesnake. I'm going to say this is definitely not a snake of any kind. It is definitely a, you know what? I don't think it is a reptile. I think that is a mongoose.

Good guesses. I'm going to give one clue before we finalize. Okay. Can we do a speed round? Venomous lizard that we have in North America. Oh, North America. Does that help? I feel like we've talked about it on the show.

I made you hold one at the reptile show, Patrick. Or no, you didn't want to hold it. Maybe you did hold it. I don't remember. I did not succumb to peer pressure. All right. Take the point. What was it?

A Gila monster. So, Kyle, pull up a proper pick, if you will. So people can see, you don't need to ax out. Just Google search it. Don't worry about it. It's a Gola. So pull up a proper pick of one once we get to the other. Heala spelled with a G though.

Yes, Gila monster. So it's that guy. So those bumps you see on his face and head there, those are in the skull, which is pretty incredible. Whoa. I would have never thought that. That's why I was like, I was like, the skull has the lizard like snake bumps. embedded as if it was just would have been spray paint.

I was like, I know it's not a steak, but I don't know enough to know what this fucking thing is. It's amazing. All right. It's like southwest, the southwest of America, right? Yep. Arizona, that area. Wow.

The Gila river. Oh, that's that I got this. Can I go? Yeah. Uh, is it a chimpanzee? What? I don't know. The fangs, I guess, are, I don't know.

I don't know. All right. So this is, appears to be a large skull. There's no frame of reference here. it has massive what I would almost call tusk-like fangs. Look at those molars. Wow. You know what's weird, though?

All of its other teeth are incredibly dull. It just looks like an really, really old humans' teeth. And then he's got four huge, like tusks. I think that's a walrus. No, no. I'm going to go with a bansche. You already guessed. Banchi final answer.

Okay. You're going to get one clue and one quick crack at everyone. What if I told you that you have a mini one of these, you both have a mini one of these in your own house. This is a wolf. No, it's a, some sort of cat.

It is a... Savor tooth tiger. North American bobcat. That is a clouded leopard skull. The adorable clouded leopard that we often think of as being so lovely as that... Who came up with this game? These are way. too hard for a fucking layman.

Look at that cute little face. That's what's underneath it. By the way, I said, I said saber tooth tiger and I pretty much consider this a saber tooth tiger. I mean, look, it's, it's the closest living relative to a saber tooth tiger. Give me a quarter point. You're right. Sure.

Quarter point. All right. Quarter point. In a point system that means absolutely nothing, Peter, you're winning by one quarter point. Give me a thousand points. By the way, couldn't be cuter. insane that that's the closest living relative to the saber tooth cat.

Dude, also would never guess from looking at a picture that that's the skull because the teeth are hidden so well. It's too adorable. It's too adorable to have that menacing skull. All right, next. Next. All right, what do we got here? That's a chimpanzee.

Are you just going to guess that for every skull to come up? That's a fucking, that's either a chimpanzee or a Neanderthal from fucking, that's like a skull on a primate. I think I know what it is. It's a primate skull. I think it's a not particularly well tooth endowed. I think that's a mandrel.

These are good guesses, good guesses. They're both really good. It's an orangutan. Ah, okay. Really good guesses, though. I mean, you guys have one half point each awarded. Thanks. Thanks for your sympathy points host.

All right. Next up. Yeah. The skulls look nothing like their faces. Hey, we both got that it was a hominid. Yeah, you guys were right there. You both knew it was a primate. The skulls look nothing like a hominid, sir.

Yeah, I know. Yeah. All right. I'm sure, I'm sure people are going to destroy me. That one needs to floss. Who cares? Who cares? What is that heinous creature?

I know what it is. That is the skull of the Atacama humanoid that was found in the Atacama Desert. I might have said. cash. This is a crazy looking skull. It's round like a baseball. It's got a huge eye. Can I give you, yeah, describe you guys a hint before you take a crack at this one? Yes, please. We made this. Oh, it's a pug. It's a pug. It's a pug. It's a pug. It's a pug. Fascinating. He says it's a pug. It's not a pug. Oh, I know what it is. It's a bulldog. Both really good guesses. I don't know how anybody would have guessed this. It's a Boston Terrier.

It's the same thing, you know, it's a small, that was a wolf skull at one point in time, and look at what we've done to it. For the next one, let's slow it down and describe the skull for the listeners. I feel bad because of the not. I forgot we had those people. It was bulbous. They've already tuned out, but let's describe it anyways. Yeah. All right. What have got next?

All right, here's this. I don't know how to do this without typing. There's the bulldog. There we go. Oh, my goodness. It's the weirdest. This is the weirdest skull I've ever seen. So this appears to be a massive.

Oh, I know exactly what this is. You do. I know it. You can shout it out. We talk about it all the time. It's got to be some kind of... I was going to say a bird. Dude, this is interesting because this looks like the head of an actual bird,

whereas all of the other skulls didn't look anything like the animal that they were. This looks like a tree. giant bird skull with human teeth and then just a huge mass of bone sticking out of its head. Yeah, it's clearly got to be. Peter, I'm going to direct this at you before anybody settles on bird, just realize there's teeth in there. So birds don't have teeth. Don't have teeth do that. Correct. How is that not a casseroorary skull minus the teeth? It's a human teeth in a casso. It's a bad texture. Dude, okay, come on, Pat, we can figure this out. Let's do this together. Look at the thing on the top of the head.

Like that can only be a certain, like one animal. Like, well, nothing has that. Except the best. I'm saying. He's got a bone to paste. Is it a dinosaur? It does look like one. All right.

It is a very old one hint. Okay. These creatures occur. There are two relatives of the group. One is in South America and the other is in Southeast Asia and nowhere else on the planet. Okay, so this thing has flat teeth. It's an herbivore.

It's a large mammal, too. How about that? Let's just, let's narrow in here. It's a large mammal. It's an herbivore. It's a bovid. Is it a bovid? It is not.

Just fucking tell me. Yeah, just tell me. I can't. I have no idea. If you're not watching, come and look at this fucking thing. It is a mystery of a lifetime. It's a frustrating game. I'm a big fan of it.

It's a tapir, specifically a Malaysian tape year. Which I think you guys, You guys could have got tape here. I really do think you could have got there. Go to the pan. What's that thing on top of its head? You can see the bone ridge on top there. I don't know.

I don't know. I'm not saying I would have got it either, by the way. Like, I don't know. So that's tough. That's obviously dead space, if you know what I mean? Like the trunk comes down from there, right? That's where the trunk comes out. So see how you're looking at the trunk and then you see the jaws.

It looks like a beak. Zoom in there, Kyle. Yeah, exactly. That's the bridge of the trunk. So that's, you know, they use it like a trunk. So that's. You know what's super interesting about this, what's super interesting about this game is like,

go back, go back to that. Last pick real quick. Go ahead, Peter. And then I want to say something inappropriate. Seeing the skull and then seeing the actual animal. Yeah. It really does like make this connection where you're like,

holy shit. Like, look what was under that face and head like this whole time. Well, there's like a, man, there's some really good memes that float around like the scientific world where you see like the skeleton of animal and then they're like,

artist rendition of what it is. is and then what it really is and it's like an adorable hippo. But the artist's rendition, it has like claws and all these things because the bones are so weird. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe Kyle can find one of those memes later. But we got two more.

Two more. Oh, I was just going to say I want to kiss it in its mouth in that last picture. Oh, yeah. When my dog does that, I want to kiss it like in its mouth. It's disgusting. But that's what I want to do to this tape here. It's got a cold, wet, elongated pig nose and I want to suck the snod out of it. All right.

What do we got next? Two more. All right. So this, describe this, Pat. You're good at descriptions. It's shaped like a football. It's got two cone-shaped, not particularly sharp kind of, actually four of them. Fangs.

And it's got some other teeth. It's got two super sharp big ones coming out of the bottom, big eyes. God. A predator of some sort. Oh my God Dude it's really hard Because if it didn't have those sharp fangs All the other teeth are flat

But get rid of those sharp fangs That big wide nostril opening You got a camel dude But it's not a camel No this is something that eats a lot This hunts it uses those teeth to bite things It's big What the fuck is this?

This has got to be the hardest clue Clue hint clue Okay I'm gonna narrow it in I'm going to narrow it in twice. Here comes narrowing once. It's very close to, it is, in essence, a canine. What kind of canine would have this kind of snout, dude? In essence, it's a canine.

This is a mained wolf. Good guess. This is a kangaroo. Bad guess. All right, now we're going to narrow it in one more step because this one's cool. It's a sea canine, an oceanic canine. It's an otter. That's a much closer guess.

It's a beaver. That's a terrible guess. It's a sea lion. It's in the water. That's a sea lion, which I think it's so great because you can totally see like the dogness of it, the canineness of it in the skull there. Yeah, you really can't. Yeah, these guys are basically sea wolves. You know, that's what the sea lions really are.

Wait, are sea lions related to canines or close relatives? Yeah, they're divergent from that group. but, you know, millions and millions of years ago. But they are. They're wolves of the sea. It's exactly what they are. Yeah, 46 million years ago, they diverted from a common ancestor.

That's wild. Yeah, isn't that? I mean, they're so damn cute. And then you look at this skull and you're just like, what the fuck? All right. One more. I want to get one right. Desperately.

Come on. What is that? What are those teeth? Look at those teeth, dude. Do you know, I just got to pause. Go ahead and describe it. What is the street. Again,

another football-shaped skull. It's got what appears to be about 450 sort of humanoid looking long, skinny teeth. None of them are particularly sharp. With like a ganglion nerve ending on the end of its teeth. I know what this is. You know what this is? Broccoli teeth. This is a Komodo dragon.

That's interesting. I mean, I do want to just. That's a great guess. You're in the family. You're in the family. You're in the family. It's a monitor lizard. What's that?

What's the worst monitor lizard? It has a real devilish name. A crocodile monitor. Yeah, it's called like the kill monitor. Just real quick, pull up a crock monitor skull. Just so you can see like what, what, yeah, no, dude, you don't want to, you don't want to fuck with a crocodile monitor. The thing that, the thing that's also interesting about this skull. That's a crocodile monitor is.

Look at that. Like there is nothing more dinosaurish than that period. You're right. It looks like a crocodile's head. Yeah. But the interesting thing about this is it. looks like the actual where the eye sockets are and the big nostrils, that part of the top part of the skull above the top row of teeth there looks paper thin. It looks like it's just like tiny

and very, very fragile. All right. So take your guess and then I'm going to give you a narrow in. All right. It's got to have some kind of armor. Look at it. It has the bumps above the nose there, dude. This is so hard. I don't know, man. I don't know any animals. I don't know what I'm doing. Okay. I'm going to give you a narrow in here. Thank you. Those teeth that you're seeing, keep in mind, you've already had one clue, which is you're in the family with Komoto Dragon. Those teeth that you're seeing are used for eating algae.

That's a grinding tooth for grazing algae. And those giant nostrils have evolved to shoot salt out of them. Jesus Christ. I just, is it an alligator? It can't be. Nope. I don't know what this is, dude. I don't know.

Pat. Yeah, no, I took my shot. Oh, it's, it's a marine iguana, obviously. He put it in the chat. No, he did in the chat. I thought that chat was private, Kyle. I wanted someone to get it. I put it in the chat.

I wanted to get somebody to get it. It's a marine iguana skull. That is a marine iguana skull. I thought Pat would get it because of the shooting salt out of their nose. Um, but yeah, I actually wasn't listening. I was looking for this bonus skull. so I wasn't listening to your clue, unfortunately. Marina Gwana's a one.

Can you go back to that last picture that you just pulled up before this one where he's like fat and like, dude, that looks like a couple of buddies I knew in college. Look at them, just flat rolls hanging on the rocks. Kyle, go to a full-size photo of this bonus skull that I've procured. Oh, here we go.

And I would like to have Forrest and Peter describe it, and then guess what it is? Sure. Kyle, please avoid the text. Okay. This is going to take a few minutes. Dude, come on. That's,

that's obviously the fucking, the alien skull that they found in the real. Yeah. What does it look like? What does it look like? It actually kind of looks like my, uh, paternal grandmother.

It looks exactly like, here's what it looks like. Kyle, open the new tab. Type in the movie poster, Mars attacks. That's exactly. It does.

It looks like the alien from Mars attacks. Yeah. It does. Whatever. You have to say. and movie poster. Just, yeah, just alien. That's what it looks like.

That's it. It's the Mars attacks alien. It's that with a brain on top. What if Mars attacks is a real movie and it's hidden? It's a secret message. It might be. That's how that's how Atlantis was destroyed. No, but what creature do you really think it is?

Oh, I thought it was the Atacoma. This is not a real creature. This is not the Atacama, humanoid. Do you think it's human? Do you really think it's human? All right. Let me go back to it. Hold on.

Is it a maca? Okay. Is it a mac? No, it's It's an orangutan. It's a baby orangutan skull. No. Sorry, sorry.

Not orangutan. What's closest? Chimpanzee. It has no teeth. There's no teeth. So that is actually an Aztec juvenile skull

because they would do this thing where they, as the skull was still forming and growing, they would mishape, you know, they would intentionally manipulate the shapes of heads. Right. Right. So that is an Aztec human skull. Jesus.

So it's a, it's a human deformation. It's a deformed human base. But it was like the upper class that would do it. It was like the top, the nobles and stuff would try to shape the skulls of their children. It was like a sign of, a sign of wealth or whatever. What do the adults grow up to look like? Adult, human. I don't think they live so long.

I guess, I don't know. Yeah, I don't even know. Yeah, dude, it's the same, the same thing with the foot binding in, I think it was in Asia. I'm not exactly sure, but insane, insane thing. So gnarly. Kyle, pull up a picture of that. Pull up the foot binding thing. Like, I don't know if you want to see all the feet.

No, it's interesting. Dude, it's crazy what people do to each other. What human beings do. Yeah, in the name of beauty and all of that. It's unbelievable. Well, yeah. See, this is why I, listen. Oh, God.

Oh, that's so hard to look at. The toes are curled. The toes are supposed to be pointing frontwards, but they're actually bent all the way to the side of the foot, curling under as if they're grasping. The fingertips are grasping the underside of the foot, while the big toe remains pointing forward so that it looks like, like Cinderella's glass slipper.

It's ludicrous, dude. Dude, it's insane what people do. By the way, it was a sign of beauty to have these tiny little feet inside the shoes. Yes. Then you pop that shoe off, baby. It ain't so great. No, it's terrible. And also, like, this is just one more reason that I hate myself and all other humans.

But it was a footbinding was a kind of interesting. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Have you seen it was a sign of being elite and wealth. Yeah. And yeah, absolutely. It's small and petite and beautiful and all. And you know, and you know that this, this tradition started from one.

I can't remember where or what his name was, but it was just a king and a royal family who did this and then everybody in the entire country did this because that one person and then it stuck as like a tradition because that one royal family did it. All right. I got one more. I got one more which is just to create a dig but this one's more for you Peter. Ready? Have you heard of the Bodhi tribe B-O-D-I tribe ritual?

I'll see if you can find this. It's an Ethiopian tribe where they spend I forget what they do but they basically they don't eat for a long time. And then they, I think they eat a bunch of corn millet and drink a bunch of water. And whoever's belly can distend the most is considered the most beautiful. So look up the, uh, stomach hurts right now thinking about this. It's crazy. And it's literally called like the Bodie Fattest Man contest or something like that.

And, uh, yeah, it's literally like, they look pregnant. They just want to see who can get the biggest fattest belly. And whoever does is by far the most beautiful man in the tribe and gets to pick, pick the women. by the way like these people are kind of beautiful even though they they have this big belly going I mean I was going to say look at that guy look at my friend yeah yeah that guy's awesome my friends blur out his cock and balls

but yeah that's how that's how all of our our athletic remember those guys who are really good at football in high school that's how they all look now it just looks like everyone you see on a cruise dude I mean so you can see something like this and then you can look at these hot dog eating contests that we have here in the States. And these people weigh like 125 soaking wet and eat 85 hot dogs in a sitting.

And I'm just like, what is, like, human body is so goddamn adaptable to whatever you throw at it. You got to specifically make these alterations. I mean, if I was to eat 85 hot dogs, what do you think I'd look like? That guy we just looked like in the picture. Exactly.

That's what I'm saying. That's my point. I would love to have Joey Chestnut on the show at some point. Oh, that'd be great. I mean, a man who can eat 73 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Dude, the buns. The buns are more filling than the hot dogs. And a lot of times what they'll do, they'll eat just the hot dogs and then dip the whole

bun in water and just shovel it down. Pack it, pack it, pack it. What do you just said is a technique where they eat, they break the They break the meat in half, hit it. Then they dip the, break the bun in half, dip it in water and eat it. That's a technique. What do you think it's called? Dipping.

The breaky bunny, dipy water technique. It's literally, it's literally referred to on the competitive eating circuit as Japaneseing. Wow. That's really. I'm guessing a Japanese. Yeah, Kobe. Did he really? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, because everybody knows Kobayashi. He's like the hot dog. You talk about hot dog eating champion. Yeah. Yeah. Like, Joey Chesknot smashed him to bit.

Yeah, but nobody like, listen, Kobeashi will be the name that goes down in infamy. Yeah. Sure. But his 69 and 10 minutes ain't touching Joey Chessnet. Is there a fucking prize picks on the next hot dog eating? Yeah, seriously. Seriously.

Peter. More or less than eight hot dogs in 10 minutes. Me? Yeah. 10 minutes? Jesus. Okay. Well, why am I answering?

my, am I answering my own? Yeah. Or are we actually doing this? Your own. Your own. Jesus. I mean, okay, yeah. I could. I mean, come on, give me, like, is there money? Is it like, are there money in?

No, I don't know. No, of course. I could do it. I could do it, but not for free. I could, I couldn't do it. I could do it. What can I do? Can I do the thing? Do I got to do the thing? Do I do the thing.
