Did you really? Oh, no, that's unfortunate.

Welcome back to the Wild Times podcast, everybody. I'm your host, Forrest Galante, the broologist. With me is the broducer, the brofessor. Let's get into it. Here we are. How are we doing, guys? Fantastic. February, you know, hope it's better than January.

Well, hopefully the state isn't on fire. That's right. Yeah, or half of it. But yeah, you know, things are looking up. I quit nicotine. How's that going? It was easy. I just decided.

I thought it was going to be impossible. Okay. See, I never smoked. Right. Right. Right. I messed around with like dip when I was a kid. And then snooose and Zen.

Uh-huh. I graduated to Zen like so many. Like so many. Dude, everybody I know uses Zinn now. It's ludicrous. It is in the entertainment industry. It is ubiquitous. Did you see how much trouble the Nalk Boys got in for giving

tribe Zinn. No. It's pretty funny. Kyle, pull up some of these headlines while we chat. Oh my God. So wait.

When they were with you? Yeah. Like they're, uh, yeah, they're like a bunch of posts being like, the Nelk boys gave uncontacts of tribe Zins. Like these guys are the devil.

Did they like it? They loved it. They didn't like it. They fucking loved it. Dude. The thing that you don't understand is that these guys, these like tribal folks, they,

they're all heavily addicted to anything they find. Oh, anything. The Motta Island tribe, like, they smoke, like, so many heat sticks every day, whatever they can make, whatever they can roll. They drink cove all night and puke all night every night. Like, they love it. It's part of their lifestyle. Oh, yeah.

I mean, that's what you would be doing. That's their recreation there. Pretty much. Yeah. So these guys gave them sins and vapes in it. Vapes? Oh, yeah. Holy shit, dude.

They're loving it. This has got to be the most viral thing they've ever done. I don't know, but it was definitely got some bad PR. I cannot believe. there. Look, he's giving the Zinn. Yeah. He's like, Upper Decky? You want an Upper Decky? Holy shit. He's upper decky.

You probably like... I'm gonna miss those. You miss the upper deckies. Now that we're talking about it. This is not helpful for Patrick. Do the heat sticks that they smoke have to bat nicotine in them? Or is it like some of their form of whatever they can get? Some of your drug.

I had these guys bring a bunch of cigarettes because I know how much the tribe like cigarettes. Okay. So they went to the duty free in Vanuatu and picked up like 500 bucks worth of darts. As like a piece offering? Is like a piece offering? Exactly. Filtered or non-filtered? I don't know, dude.

I don't smoke. I don't even know what any of this means. No, I know, but like I feel like I'd be pissed. Why are you asking so many questions about the specifics of the cigarettes? I feel like you're putting me into a corner. I know the answers. No, bro. It's not a, it's like an untanked, an uncontacted tribe.

Basically, they've seen a couple of people. Semi. Semite. Semit. Seymighted by a bunch of YouTubers. Exactly. But I mean, it's just, it's fascinating to me. Like, you know, I'd be.

if I was them, I'd be like, what's this fucking filter fiberglass? What is this thing on the end of the tobacco stick that I used to smoking? Oh, the filter specifically. Yeah, yeah. I could see that. But it's still obviously, I'm sure, appreciate the F out of it. They liked it.

Well, anyway. But you're feeling good. Yeah. Any mental fuzziness? Because the nicotine is supposed to make you sharper, right? Too early to say. I think today's day seven or eight. Have you ever noticed how Pat has sharp features on his face?

It's like, it's got corners. On his corner. It's called being angular. It means you have a bad profile shot. It's very trendy right now. Being angular? Yeah. I don't know why.

I saw this on like Instagram. It's like a trendy thing. There's like a meme thing about it. It's a meme thing. Yeah, about having an angular face. And then I clicked on that. I made the mistake of clicking it because it showed like the guy from, I don't know, the guy from Dune.

I forget his name. Right. Yeah. The little guy. And showed like a bunch of these angular face guys and I clicked on it. The very next thing I got fed on my Instagram. Instagram feed was a doctor in Mexico who gives you like cheekbone implants, jawline implants, chin implants, like up here implants, just trying to make your face like pointy.

And I was like, who's doing this? Who's going to Mexico and get a pointy face? Kyle pulled up the angular face images here and this is like the Twilight vampire guy look. Yeah, but it's like what's the guy from Dune? What's his name? Timothy Shalema. Yeah, that guy. He's like made it cool to be very, have a pointy face.

There's like something that like women are doing on TikTok about this. About angular faces? About men with angular faces. It's like a big thing, right? Yeah. It's the new cool. Oh, one thing I will say. Well, we're fucked, Peter.

We don't have a lot of sharp points to our faces. Your head is the size of a rhino's ass. But like, and it's very round. Like I used to call you Chuckie with a big head, like Chuckie the doll. Just wait. About five years from now when Angular's going away, we're going circular face. Oh, I agree 100%. That I'm in, babies.

Pat, it's too bad you're married right now with kids in this time. This would have been my time. It would have been your time. I will say one thing that I, that did happen with quitting nicotine. And I'm speaking of it as if I quit a year ago. It's been eight days. Right. I was snacking like a motherfucker.

And I forgot that I think nicotine does. It's a bit of a stimulant. It's probably a little bit of an appetite suppressant. So, sorry, you're saying when you quit, you started snacking. Like for like four. like the four days first four days yeah snacking dude i was like eating like little sweet bites at night interesting i never did i think i put like five or six pounds on you i mean but now i got used to it i'm like okay pat you you've you've always had like an unhealthy relationship with food and lighting

you so i've never had an unhealthy relationship with food in any way i said that what about lighting terrible i said that in a derogatory matter i didn't mean it that way you and i used to joke about when we get hammered we've done talk about, we literally call each other and talk about our body dysmorphia. And not like, give an example. No, like I have body dysmorphia and we'd be like, like we, you look in the mirror and we always think that we're fat. Like I look in the mirror and I'm fat like my God love hand. No, things that will never go away.

Excess skin. Like, extra skin. Peter has too much skin. Yeah. I'm just saying. That's not body dysmorphia. You do have too much skin. We talk about it.

When you leave the room, we're like, can you see how much skin Peter has? Bro, I need to go therapy. I just wanted to throw that jab out there. You know how like mushrooms are the new thing, right? Like we drink the magic mine, that's a mushroom drink. They're very trendy. I didn't know it was a mushroom drink. Nice.

There's mushrooms in it. And then, you know, like mushrooms are the thing. I just ordered for the first time. I think it's a Rishi or a lion's mane mushroom like zinny pouch. Stupid. Yeah. Let's not show it or say the name because it's not a sponsor. I also don't know what the name is, to be honest.

But I just ordered it. I got Instagram targeted. But you, oh, dude. I haven't got it. I haven't received it. But you got an Instagram ad and they got you. Is this just because you wanted to get in on the Zen camaraderie when you're out on shoots? Correct.

And I'm too scared to actually do it. That's smart though. See, okay, I respect you for that. That's the truth. You have to let me know if those are good. I will. They're not. I can tell you right now.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Oh, man. Well, at one time when I was trying to quit snooce. Yeah. Because that had actual tobacco. Right. That would cut your gums open. Oh, yeah.

Well, it has carcinogens. Yeah. Right. Right. I bought these coffee snooze pouches that have coffee grinds in them. Oh, interesting. And they just made, they were fucking gross. Yeah, it didn't work. I was like, this will be a good replacement for the habit. Yeah. Yeah, my one and only experience was I was in Bishop, California. You know where Bishop is? We've been through Bishop together. Yeah. I was at Bishop, California, going trout fishing with a buddy right out of high school. And I threw in just a fat, you know, horseshoe lower, never had it before.

and just went for the whole thing. Yeah, that's, you know me. Well, you know, you know he's never done it because he just called it a lower because they called it an upper. I don't fucking know. Whatever. I threw in a big old horseshoe in the lower lip.

And yeah, I mean, same story everybody has. Just yacked my brains out 30 minutes later. And I never want to do that again. No, it's horrible. It's like when we sat down to pot record one day when we were still doing it at my place. And Pat gave me, I think it was a six milligram nicotine zin, I turned fucking green.

I was so sick. I was like, why would anybody do this? This is absolutely ludicrous. It's a dangerous, I mean, I think it's a psycho, does something to your brain. Absolutely. For sure. Neuroopic.

I don't know what the fuck it does. It's supposed to make you smarter, like sharper. Oh, neutropic is what they call that. Yeah, I started nicotine as a means to focus because I didn't want to take Adderall or Ritalin. Interesting. But I have like severe ADHD. So I was like, let me try this because it worked for some other.

people. Yep. And then I just did it for 15 years. Love it. So we'll see. Before we get into the animal news, which this is an animal podcast, so we will. I was itching that way. I do, I do want to say, you started a candy bar company, chocolate candy bar company. I do think that you need to do something with mushrooms. Mushrooms are all over the freaking place in everything now. You got it in coffee. Evidently you have it in Zins. Yeah. I mean, and you go out and actually collect mushrooms now. It's like a thing. Well, I'll tell you this. Don't get into the fucking chocolate business. That's a commodity you don't want.

Here we go. What's in the news? What is in the news? What is in the news? Patrick DeLucah. You've been itching to get at this story. I've been itching? No, I thought this was interesting.

When you think of fun creatures that you can see in the waters off the coast of Florida, what is one of the things you think of? Manatees, without doubt. They're big. They're interesting. You go there just to see them. I was going to say, like, what? Apropay?

What was that giant invasive fish that was found? Arapima. Arapa. An aprapea. Bring me an aprape fish. I didn't even bring me an aprape of Aripa. I had nothing. No, but apparently archaeological and archival records have shown that they're relatively new to Florida,

which I found very interesting. I certainly didn't know that. Oh. Wow. Yeah, because I mean, I remember in college we had this TA who was all about saving the manatees and they were there then. Well, yeah, but as late as like the 1700s, it says, when they started migrating there. I was going to leave room for you to jump in. No, I think I...

It's interesting. That's fine. I get what's happened. What's happened is humans have actually, what's the word, like engineered the habitat so much that it's become more and more fruitful for manatees. They've connected springs to the oceans. They've made canals, yacht basins, power plants, all these things that's actually helped Florida's manatees thrive. In the late 1800s, early 1900s, their population was massive. And then it started to dwindle.

And now people are trying to save them again. So it's kind of imbalanced. It's like, I don't really, like, where is the right place for manatees to be in Florida? That's crazy. Because we're reading this beautiful show doc provided by Edwin. Kyle can't stop fucking moving it. I don't know what he's thinking. While he figures that out, where do manatees originate?

Hang on, hang on. To his point, they're saying that the closure of fossil fuel plants, which we would think would be good for the environment. Right. And I'm sure it is in a macro sense. But it's saying it's going to threaten the manatee population in Florida because closing these plants will cause the waters to be less warm. Yeah, because they use waters from these springs and areas like that to cool down these

plants. Right. And the offshoot puts out hot water. Right. And it creates these massively tropical, like, wetland ecosystems that the manatees love. And that's why, Kyle, pull up a picture, you go there in the winter and you go to some of these places like Crystal River and there's 300 manatees in their old winter. And it's because it's 85 degrees in the water.

It's 48 degrees out. And you're like, oh, this is nice. And that's what it looks like. And these are all manatees getting warmth from some of those thermal pools. Well, thermals are wrong word. Manatees look to have like a very lot of blubber or fat on them That you would think would keep them warm But they do they

That's that's AI That was a manatee hanging out over a pool I didn't see that You cannot get away from AI on pictures these days I know But so back to my question Do you know where they originated at Like are they from warm waters originally

Like the tropics or? Well they must have come up Like I know there are manatees in believe and places like that. So they must have come up from Central America and just sort of slowly expanded their range.

They kind of got the fucking life, though, don't they, man? Just float around. Float around in warm water? Yeah. Like whales and stuff, they're going through like Arctic waters.

They're huge. Like they got to be blubber. I'm sure they keep warm and everything. It just sounds miserable. Manatees are like relaxing off the coast of Florida with a dachery,

just floating around. Again, that was AI, the one with the DACA. They used to be. be, but you know what's actually really sad that you see when you go to these springs now? Kyle, what's the name of the spring we went to with Billy? Can't remember. Silver Springs.

No, Silver Springs. Pull up Silver Springs. What's really sad is like, so when did I get engaged? Like 12, 15 years ago? I don't remember what it was. I went and got engaged. Yeah. Huh?

Sorry, no. Fuck off. I went and got engaged at Crystal River, right? That was, we went and did the manatee dive. I hit a ring in the shell. I was like, what's that? Go find it. Blah, blah.

I was great. And you saw all these manatees and very few invasive fish. A year-ish ago, last summer, I went to the Silver Springs State Park with Kyle and our buddy Billy. You guys know, Billy, yeah, yeah, yeah. And one thing, you're not going to see it in Silver Springs because we're the only people that have ever been a lot to dive there. But look up the Plecostimus rasping on the manatees. So do you know what placidus are? I would say a dinosaur, but I know it's not.

So, yeah, just pull up that first pick and pull it way up. So Plecostimus are armored catfish from Central South America, most of South America from the Amazon. I thought you meant like a muscle in the water, but you were talking about the dinosaur muscle. Nice. But what's happening, see if you can find a video, Kyle, that we won't get in trouble for playing. What's happening is these giant, so just pause it for one second. Let me explain it. These giant fish, they're giant armored catfish.

We went and ate them and everything else. They have these really raspy mouths. In fact, they're so bad that sometimes they're algae eaters, first of all. Let me explain this. So these giant armored catfish, these Placostomis are algae. Eater's very common in the pet trade, super hardy. I have them in every single one in my tanks. And even in my tanks, they'll survive in my turtle tanks.

Any other fish will get fucking munched in a second, right? But these things are armored. They're like rock hard. You can knock them and you can hear it. I could show you that from one of our YouTube videos. So they'll live in my turtle tanks and they'll clean all the algae off the walls, everything else. But the second they run out of algae, when there's nothing for them to eat, they go, I'm

starving and they start rasping on my turtle's necks and legs. and they'll create open wounds because they have this crazy grinding plate for grinding algae off of the glass and the rocks and the wood and stuff. Interesting. Now, what's happened in Florida is they've gone fucking crazy. Like, you can't go to a waterway in central or south Florida without shining a light at night or even walking around in day and seeing dozens of these things this big, huge, huge, placostomus.

Yeah. So what's happening now is like that picture you see there, fourth over. Yeah, that's what it's like, right? They're just everywhere because these beautiful warm springs grow tons of. algae, but now the placostomists seem to have learned that you can rasp onto a manatee to get like slime coat because all these animals have a slime coat, right? Natural defense and they're eating the slime coat off the manatees. This is a long way of saying it's really sad because the manatees cannot rest.

They're so irritated. Look at these fucking things. That's what it looks like. Holy shit. Yeah. Oh my God. I mean, so we're looking obviously down into some river. Blue spring.

Blue spring. And there are, I mean, millions. of these fish just congregating. Like what? A foot long? Yeah, they get up to like two foot. They're huge and they're armored as hell. Kyle,

find a real quick, find one rasping like a video of them rasping on the manatees. And you can see the distress in the manatee's face. I was going to say it's like giving like a rug burn. Yeah, look at that. Exactly. And you can see these.

Manatees, like you're saying, they're slow. They should be chilling. And it's like, imagine if every time you tried to take a nap, eight guys with little finger sandpaper came up and just started sandpaping, sandpaping.

It would be nice. I literally can't do any, I mean, this, I can't even look at it. This pissing me off. And you can't get away. I mean, you're just, they're just going to attach and follow you. They don't go into salt water, the manatee. Sorry, the placostomis, so the manatees have to go to salt water, but then it's too cold, so they have to come back to the fresh.

You know what I mean? It's just terrible, but they're getting legitimately like driven fucking insane by these awful fish. You still think they have an amazing life now that you know this? Well, I was just going to say, but so manatees can go salt or fresh? Yeah. Oh, I mean, dude, that is such, that, that's a battle royale ability, right? there as far as the aquatic kingdom goes. Kyle, pull up our YouTube video

where we shot the Placostomis. So just show them like how hard and armored they are when we were cleaning them. What'd you shoot it with? Crossbows. What else would you shoot a fish with? Oh, you were killed. Sorry, I thought you were shooting the ones at your house. No, no, no, no. This was...

Like filming. No, this was filming shooting. So we went, you know, down in South Florida with some buddies and we were just getting them any way we could. We were gigging them with sticks. We were shooting them with crossbows. And then the most disgusting thing is we tried to eat these stupid armored catfish.

But just go to the cleaning park. I don't hear about that. I think we need to see less Mitch on camera. He looks really good. He's a mess. Well, he's got a newborn. Of course he does. Look at trying to clean these things, though.

Look at it. It's like, you can't tell, but they're literally rock hard. They destroy the knives. You have to use your hands and like rip the meat out. The meat tasted like just, I mean, listen to that. Can you play that audio call or not? That was Billy right there. Yeah.

Billy was the other guy? his buddy Pete Pete Crawford he's a one of those other little fish you got down there all invasives those are my encyclids tilapia blah blah blah it doesn't matter Kyle's on to a video of us now it's so funny I was just laughing

because I you know I gave we give Kyle shit if he does anything that it's not even wrong it's just that we don't like not quick enough but I'm just like watching him in there like he's he's so good at what he actually is doing and is working the entire time and then he does one thing that's not to our taste Oh, yeah.

He's taking notes on stuff about the podcast to produce it and edit it layer, which he edits it to. When I look, hold on, you'll hear this fish for a second. Where's the head tap? It's just crazy. Really? Do you really do that, Pete? Okay about that. I'll pull this.

Let's see if you can hear it here. If you're just listening, listen for the sound. Look at this armored catfish comes from for Plycostim. It's yellow. Maybe. Yeah. Because right now I just want to off myself. Yeah.

If I was listening on the car, I would have crashed. I mean, anyway, so you're trying to clean this rock hard fish. It's disgusting. Real quick, on the point of Kyle, I just want to say, when I walk into the green room in the studio, have you ever looked in, like, the cockpit of a Boeing 747? Yes. Yeah. There's like 10,000 buttons.

There's like two steering wheels. There's pedals. There's shit over your head. There's shit under your seat. That's what Kyle's little space is like to me. I'm like, if I touch one button, the plane's going to crash. Oh, please don't ever touch anything in there. Please, for the love of God.

Well, so we had a little snafu. We were supposed to record yesterday. Yeah. Yes. Kyle drives up the night before. Yeah. And then both me and Peter are both of our kids' schools canceled morning up. Yep.

Yeah. So tell us about your night, Kyle. Oh, well, I got in, I don't know, 11 o'clock or so, fell asleep and then woke up to a bunch of text message saying, we're not coming today. So I just drove home. Oh. Oh, I thought you stayed here for a little bit. Nope, I know. What?

I think it's pretty funny because college by far the furthest away. It's over two hours away. I was just being facetious. But why did you just stay here? I wasn't confident that we wouldn't cancel today as well. Is that what it was? I told my wife the situation. She's like, he drove two hours back home to just drive two hours again.

I know. I'm shocked. No. But you thought we would cancel again. Correct. I thought you would go to the gym to shower and try and talk to girls, which wasn't going to be successful. Take yourself out for a nice lobster dinner at Red Lobster on the wild times. That's what I thought you'd do. I thought you'd hang out.

I was convinced that we weren't going to be here today. Dude, so I used to do Kyle's job on the podcast like three years ago, two or three years ago. And there was nothing more infuriating than dealing with the scheduling and the changing of things that happened. And you really got to be a certain type of personality to let shit like that roll off you. Like if that happened to me while I was doing that, I'd be like, I quit. Yes, you would.

I fucking quit. We know. We'd get the text. You'd say I quit. You'd send like a four minute long ranting voice memo. It's only because I've, we'd each have to call you individually and talk talk to out of it. Oh, that's 25 younger.

Remember when we had to side talk to get, because someone was mad enough at someone else? That they weren't talking to them. I don't even remember what the dynamic was like. Oh, I will say for us. That is a long time ago. Everybody has threatened or officially quit the podcast more than once. Not a long time.

Well, not a long time. But that's because we have Kyle. Yeah, or Kyle. Yeah. Kyle in the studio have made it much more enjoyable. Yes. Absolutely. All right.

Prize picks, baby. Run your game. I found this pretty interesting, and I want to dig into the why of it. So the headline is two links captured after being illegally released into the Scottish Highlands. So it was two Eurasian links, which are from that part of the world, that were for some reason illegally released

into the Scottish Highlands near something Scottish-sounding, drum-gwish Drum-gwish Drumgwish Scotland But here's the thing The illegal release is Allegedly Suspected to be the work of activists

Frustrated with the slow pace Of rewilding these animals in Scotland Because they're trying to rewild them in Scotland But wait, take that into account for a second I kind of like, you know, I like the renegade biologist Like the rogue It's not the right way to do it But I'm kind of like, I kind of like

The Conservation Cowboys here But then the links were recaptured under the guise of these links wouldn't be able to survive the harsh winter. So what the fuck's going on here? So let me paint you a picture.

This is my understanding of this. News headline comes out that like these assholes released two Eurasian links in Scotland. Now they've been recaptured. There's a group that's actively trying to rewild Eurasian links in Scotland. They were unhappy that these two other people did it.

And of course, rightfully so. They did it the wrong way. or these people did it. However, they're in the process of trying to reintroduce Eurasian links to Scotland. And the two that were captured were, I don't know if they were put down or whatever, but they were captured for the reason that they weren't going to survive the Scottish winter. Meanwhile, there's an entire group working to reintroduce them into Scotland that can survive the winter.

Right. But it's just, yeah. The Scottish government has not approved that group's plan. Right. But then why? Yes. but why, if they're recapturing them, are they saying it's because the links

aren't going to survive the winter? Here's why. We used to have saber-tooth cats. They have them at the Libreia Tar Pits down the road. We had saber-tooth cats. Through CRISPR and, you know, your buddies that are going to bring back to William.

We got six saber-tooth cats. We got two saber-tooth cats that used to live here. Yep. The state of California and city of L.A. has not approved our plan to release these giant saber-tooth cats in the downtown LA. Sure. But we're working to do it. Yep.

If we release them, they would just capture them or kill them. For sure. So that's the same scenario. Yes, but the city of L.A. isn't going to say, we're catching them because they kind survived the harsh California summer. Sure. That's the part that I'm struggling with here. It's why that they said the reason that they had to capture them is because they were not going to survive

without the proper preparation. I see. So you're just saying it's a bit of a lie. Yeah, it's a lie. That's what I'm saying. I get it. I'm not saying that they should have left the links out there.

They shouldn't have. That was not right. And I do know that, you know, it's the same as the stuff I'm doing with the colossal. Like, you have to abituate the animals. You have to get them used to the climate. They have to have a small outdoor area and a big indoor area

and then a bigger outdoor area until they're acclimated. You know what I mean? Like, you kind of just dump things out there and be like, oh, you'll be okay. But it still just seems like a pretty bold, face lie for the Scottish government to be like, hey, hey, we got to pull them in

because they're not going to make it through winter. It's like, shut up. Well, I mean, when the government's not lie, bro. I mean, they lie about everything. They want to control the narrative, of course, for whatever agenda they have. And that's the way that it is. I like to think of Scottish people as being incapable of lying. Due to their mouthful of marbles. Have you ever heard a

Scottish person talk? It makes no sense. Have you ever met a Scottish person? They are, I mean, dude, they are much less refined than, like, you're talking about like, like, people from England, like highfalutin. Scottish people, they can lie, they fight, they like to drink.

Just like me. My little sister's best friend growing up married like a full on Scottish guy. Like I don't know where he's from. Like whatever the most redneck part of Scotland is, I'm guessing, based on his... Yeah. He speaks English.

He doesn't speak another language. He doesn't speak Gaelic. He speaks English. I cannot understand a single word that... What does it sound like? Try and find like a heavy Scottish... No, no, no, no. You do it.

Yeah, you do it. I got over to the bulletin, blah. He actually, he nailed it. And then you're like, I'm sorry, what? And then his wife, who's our family friend, will literally have to translate, but he's speaking in English. I had a friend named Kevin. He came out in like 2015. We had a group of us who got together.

He's from Scotland. He came over. And like, dude, like, it was a struggle to ever understand him. So the whole time, it just kind of became this joke. where I think he just stopped saying real words and was just like, just understood. Or is this like, why is everyone ignoring me? Yeah.

It would just turn into like a body language thing where everybody kind of started to understand what we needed and what we wanted. If you're on the flip side of that, though, and you've grown up in fucking redneck Scotland and you've watched American movies and you can understand everybody else speaking English anywhere in the world,

how frustrating is it when you think you're speaking English and one can understand you? That would be so frustrating. Right. In your mind, you're saying it exactly as it should be said. Correct. You're the same as everybody else. You know one can understand. And that if you wrote it down and handed it to them, they'd be like, yeah, yeah. Of course I know what you're saying. Exactly. Yeah. Well, Fight Club had, what? Were they from Scotland or the Pikes? Was that from? A movie called Snatch. Was that Snatch? Oh, I was like, what? There's no Pikes in Fight Club. Sorry. Oh, yeah, not Fight Club. Yeah. Anyways, Snatch. And, dude, he does such a good, uh, exactly. example of what you're talking about. You can't understand them in the movie. There needs to be

subtitled. You like dags? Yeah, I like dags. Imagine being able to act that. Like, just like, be like, yeah, I want you to speak kind of English, but so that you can't understand it. But it needs to be really weird thing. Yeah. Yeah, just do it. Just do this. Okay. It's pretty good. This is the last new story we're doing. I'm going to paint you. I'm going to paint you. Kyle was cackling. And I thought it was something I had said, of course. No. And it was him reading the article. Petter. Yeah. Don't look at the screen.

I want to paint you a picture. Please do. It's New Year's Eve. It's cold out. If they're cold, if you're, what's the saying? You know the thing, the meme that's all over the internet? Nope. They're cold.

Of course not. If I'm cold, you're cold. Whatever. We're all cold. Whatever. We're getting derailed here. You're a lovely lady. Oh, yeah.

Don't see her name. Is her name there? Doesn't matter. This picture is being vividly painted so far. You open the doorstep. Is she tipsy? She's a little tipsy She's in a pink blues

She's in a black blouse She's slightly heavy set She lives in Canada Okay I'm making all this up I know none of this She opens the door And shivering

On her porch Is a poor Defensless hedgehog Oh It's ice cold It's dying It's New Year's Eve Did the hedgehog bring the doorbell

No of course not No she saw it on her ring Just to open the door It's a movement detect So what does she do Like any good Samaritan She scoops it up She puts it into a shoebox.

She brings it inside to warm up. She even offers it. Yeah, a hot water bottle to heat it up. Probably stalking to it. She's talking to it. She gives it food? What did she give it? A dish of cat food, of course.

Oh, wow. Wet or dry? I don't know. Wet. It says wet. It's wet. It's expensive stuff. Yeah, the good stuff.

And you wake up in the morning, Petter. Yeah. Your heart is broken. Because why? Why? The hedgehog hasn't moved. It was dead. She brought in a dead hedgehog.

Just take a bite of the food. Has it. Not one bite of the food. It's sad. I would be heartbroken. Not one lick of the water. What does she do? This good Samaritan rushes it to the vet. Any good Samaritan should.

Maybe you can save its life. Yep. I hope so. Well, guess what? It's dead as a door now. She couldn't save its life. Oh, it's sad. You know why?

Because it was dead. No. Why? Patrick? Because it was just the little cushiony ball on the top of a winter hat. A hat bubble. It was a hat bubble the whole time.

This is a true story. There's a picture. It was never a head job. There's a picture of it next to the cat food. Next to the wet cat food. It was somebody's beany bubble that had blown a skew. Oh, it's the thing on top of the head. The Kyle from South Park bubble.

Oh my God. If you're only listening, this is about halfway through the show. Come back to see this photo. Yeah. The lady took a. photo, she had it in a little shoebox. I will say it's the most hedgehog looking hat bobble of all time.

It really does look like a hedgehog. So here's what I think happened. She opened the door and it was probably windy. Yeah. Right. So the thing's blowing. It was blowing and so it gave her the perception of movement. Sure.

And she probably has never handled a hedgehog. I bet when she picked it up she was like, oh my God, it's softer than I thought it would be. Definitely. And you know she's talking to it. maybe singing to it. Yeah, sure. Mr. Hedgehog. But she must have...

Was there a name to she name it? It had to be win. Yes. Right? And it was moving in a way. And maybe even, like, went a little bit. I bet. It must have.

I bet she put it in the shoebox and it like shifted. Yeah. You know what I mean? And she's like, he's going to make it. Yeah, yeah. Looking at the... Looking at the picture, I mean, you... Would you think that's a Hedgehog

if you just saw it not moving or blowing in the wind? Well, I'm assuming that she's had 11 eggnogs when this happened. So, yes, if I had had 11 eggnogs, I think so. This was New Year's Eve, you said? Well, I don't know. It was. Yeah, it was. So, yeah, I mean, the way you know it's not a hedgehog is it didn't fucking bite you the second you picked it out.

I was going to say, there's so many other signals. But you're right. She was definitely, you know, you said she was heavy set wearing a blouse. None of that is known information. He was making that up. Don't even know if it was a woman. I've just made all of this up. But now I'm just adding to it.

She had had 11 egg knocks. Of course. Yeah. If I had, if I was so, like, like, a little bit tipsy. even, I would, my first thought would be animal. I think it was on my porch. And get it wet cat food. Yeah.

I mean, you do make weird animal decisions when you're tipsy. 100%. I mean, as like an inert, that's just somebody who stays inside. I made it up right now. An inner. Like, if I'm tipsy, like, I'll go outside at nighttime and like start seeing if there's like insects crawling around on my porch.

and like, you know, mess with them and not pick them up at all. So I had a really cool encounter. I did text it to the group. I just, it's, I was saying something and then I was distracted because neither of you were paying attention. I was trying to say yes to this.

And then what I said at the end of it, Kyle, it didn't make any sense. Like I just finished it off like, but I thought it was the end of the thing. I didn't, but I don't even know what I said at the end because I was paying attention, you two guys not paying attention. I understand what happened here.

Kyle, leave all this in, by the way. I understand what happened to your. Peter, we thought Peter was wrapping his story. Exactly. Kyle scrolling through the show doc and it landed on dinosaur muscle. And I liked this game, so I gave it a nod. But then I looked at Kyle who was looking at Patrick. Yeah.

And it looked like Patrick was giving it like a no. So I looked over and in eye contact gave it like I think we should do it. And the whole time I'm just over here talking to both. So then meanwhile, I gave him the yes, but then was stepping in quickly to do one thing before it. Right. Right. No, I get it. It's got fucked up for you. I just have no idea what I was.

It's just I shouldn't pay attention to what other people are doing ever. It's a problem. It's a problem. What were you going to say? I had a really fucking incredible encounter last night. I went outside because I bought like some heavy things at the grocery store. Okay. And I was with my kids.

It doesn't matter. I just went outside to get the stuff out of the trunk. Yep. And I hear really close an owl hooting. and I heard this owl in the general direction of across the street from me quite a few times, but I've never seen it. And it's just standing on the telephone pole. Oh, cool.

And so it was pretty cool. And I was like, wow. And it was, so I just watched it for a minute. It was hooting. And then there was another owl hooting from behind my house. Yeah. It sounded really far away, the second one. So I went and I grabbed my daughter and we were just watching it.

And I put her down because I was about to grab my phone. because I want to take a little vid. And as I'm putting her down, you're the second out came in, mounted the first one. They were flapping it and doing it. I can't say that I saw penetration or even know how birds procreate.

But you can envision it. Probably like that. But it was definitely mating that lasted like 10, I don't know, 8 to 10 or 20. I don't know how long. It was insane. Did you get a video? I know you texted the group.

I was driving. I sent the video basically it was too late because it was literally as I was putting my daughter down this happened. So it was too late. The second owl went and stood on the next telephone pole and they just hooted at each other for five more minutes.

Pull up bard owl. I assume it was a bard owl. Pull up bard owl mating. Let's see what I've never seen it. I definitely want to know what this looks like. I'm very jealous of that you got to witness this. I'm jealous that it only took 10 seconds. Yeah, you wish it was you're like, I wish it was five. I've never, I've never

witnessed. Oh, here we go. Bard owl fornication. We got it? the one owl is uh maybe see they're in a bird box yeah this is shenanigans just try owl mating so you think they're gonna like it's it's it's too comfortable they're gonna they're gonna court her that's what you saw yes that was it it was like it was like three seconds pat peter as an asexual is that exactly how you wish turned on right now yeah you're

like that's that's how i want it to be oh so kyle when i said sex yes it should be 20 seconds 20 seconds and you said that's really long is it because it is only like bird mating known for being five seconds. No, I was just trying to make a funny joke. No, he's just never made it 20 seconds. It just seemed like a really long time. Yeah, he has no frame of reference. Yo, but so.

Turns out all along, Kyle's like an owl expert. None of us knew. He's like, that's a really long time for owl mating. The average is 1.8 seconds. Yeah, yeah. That's what I thought he was doing. No. And I said to my daughter, she's almost four.

I said, that was really, because I was hyped up. I was like, that was really cool. And she just goes, It's cold What a fucking bitch Which one was it? I'm gonna let her know next time I say Was it the one year old?

No, she doesn't know to say anything Oh, it's the four year old? Yeah Fucking, God damn it Just kidding Your wife's gonna lose it if she ever hears this She knows she won't I want to know

Wait, willed Yo, so it gets It busts a nut in like Subsonic numbers or what? Like, it takes one second for an owl to bust a nut. Is that what I'm getting here? Kyle, let's Google average owl.

Nutbusting time. It'll come right up. Yeah. A peer-reviewed journal. Yeah. It'll be an AI fake answer. I'll tell you this. It's not long based on that video.

That's ludicrous. But that's, by the way, just so you know, most animals don't have sex for pleasure. No, I get that. But I think, like, you know, a fish, right? A fish, what happens as far as I can remember from eighth grade high science it drops the eggs the then the fish the male comes by and

spits sperm out of its body and then it and then it spits it out it fertilizes the eggs that way right but like most animals like you know like a dog has to get its thing in there and like study the female this was like like just boom yeah that's it what a joy and what a joy it's only a few seconds to a minute typically wow a few seconds is crazy the process and involves the male mounting the female, a brief cloacal kiss where the reproductive openings touch. Wow. And boom, it's done. Kyle, now ask it, what animal...

Well, I saw some fucking mating last night. Yeah, you did. Nice. What animal has the longest penetration during mating? Like hyenas and things, there are some animals that'll stay... It's crazy. Wait, wait. So, barnacle's a terrible answer.

I need a mammal. So longest copulation time. That's better. But I want to just leave, before mating owls perform courtship rituals, including food offerings calling him mutual preening. Dude, so they actually do a lot of stuff before the insertion of the peni. Well, I'm glad I got to see the copulation. You got to see the copulation. And then a little bit of the post preem, the post like, the pillow talk, if you will.

The pillow talk. They hung out for a little bit. Well, did you see that some possums will stay in copulation for 12 hours? Oh my God, what a nightmare. Sounds horribly boring. Did you guys hear what I just said? I said pill owl talk. Yes, it was funny.

I just wanted to make sure. I got a good grin out of it. I hope that listeners did too. Anglerfish. Well, they do the latch on thing, you know, and then the male absorbs into the female. So it's basically permanent. Stick insects made for up to 10 weeks. Continuous copulation.

12 hours. I mean, that's like what Mormons do when they're soaking. 10 weeks for the stick insects, dude. Wait, what's soaking? Can you? Wait, there's no way. you don't know what this is. I know, but only because I watched jury duty. Okay, I don't want to be the one to bring this up.

But who was our Mormon buddy that told us about, no, we shouldn't name drop. It wasn't Tommy. Tommy is a Mormon? You know who it was. Frommi is a Mormon? Some guy named Frommi. It wasn't Tommy. It was, you know who it was. We were in Illinois. Oh, okay. Yeah, I just don't know that I want to name drop him for this. If you don't say, I'll kill both of you right now. Say the name. It doesn't matter because no one in the audience knows who it is. It's true. Irrelevant.

Move on. His name was irrelevant. We were at a bar hanging out after fishing, and he goes, do you guys know what soaking is? And we're like, you know, like getting sprayed to the hose? Yeah, of course. I'm old. I'm a fucking dad. I don't know these terms.

And, uh, no, so soaking is what, what Mormons do to, what is it, like cheat code having sex. It's probably some Mormons. No, all for sure. Okay. All the males. I really want to dig my grave here. Um, no, apparently some Mormon, like teenagers, high schoolers, will, do this because it's not necessarily seen as having sex. So it'll just be penetration,

no movement. Because if you're not thrusting or whatever, you're not having sex. But then, stand by, stand by. To take it one step further, you can get a buddy to, what's it called? Prine? Jump on the bed. No, yeah. There's one guy who'll go jump on the bed for you. So you're not thrusting. Then there's another guy will go under the bed and push with his feet. Yes, it is. These are terms that they all do. So there's like, there's soaking and then there's like rumbling and then there's like, fuck it. I don't know what the names are, but yeah. See, back in my day, if you wanted to remain aversion, you just had anal sex with the girl.

Right? And then you could just say like, yeah, I'm still aversion. I've only done anal sex. The woman can too. And then, you know, this is, this is ludicrous. Jump pumping. Jump pumping. No, there was a way better term for it than that.

Kyle, does you remember we had this conversation? Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember what it was called. So I mean, there was like a rumbler and a grumbler and a, and a, and a soaker. And, dude, it was crazy. Look at the, look at the, sorry, he pulled up the Wikipedia of what soaking is. Who did this artwork? Have you guys seen?

That penis is the size of like, what are those, the, the, the, the, the, the thub, no, uh, oh, thimble. Thimble. Have you guys seen jury duty? No. Not in years. The show, right? The show.

It came out like, like, a year ago. Oh, I thought you're talking about the Pauly Shore movie. Oh, no. No, dude, it's so fucking funny, this TV show, JuryDuty. Oh, it's a scripted show? Everything's scripted except there's one guy who isn't in on it. Oh, that sounds amazing. This one guy gets picked to be on a jury.

Oh, I've heard about this. And everything, everyone else is an actor. But James Marsden, the actual actor, is also picked for the same jury playing himself. Oh, interesting. That's so funny, dude. And, like, talks about movies and stuff. and so and they're filmed the entire time not only in the courtroom but like in their sequester

yeah and their discussions yeah and uh the guy who's not in on it right is hanging out with James Marsden because they're like locked in a hotel like playing a video game or something yeah he's hanging out with James Marsden and this nerdy guy comes in and he's he wants to do soaking with one of the girls on the jury

but he's and he's like really sheepish sheepish she's like he like says the whole thing and you know they're both shocked and he's like would one of you like consider jumping on the bed and James Marzen just goes yeah I'll do it he just goes yeah I'll do it and the guy who's not in and I was like really? He's like yeah he's like yeah I'll do it this so they go into the adjoining room and like pretend that they're doing yeah yeah the non-actors probably just like just dying laughing dude yeah this this is this is like

He's talking to the camera guys. He's like, is James Marsden jumping on the bed while they're soaking? Was soaking explained to him like or something in the show? He comes in, he sits down with him. He's like, I have a big favor. And he explains the entire thing. And you're just seeing the guy who's not the actor just die. Like, he'd never heard of this.

Of course not. And then he makes the jump on the bed request. And he's just like, whoa. Dude, I mean, I got to say, like this is an animal podcast. Let me bring it back to animals. The things that. Test Darnell was the DP on that series. Oh, really?

Yeah. The things that humans will do, a male human will do to insert penis into a vaj is they are far beyond what many other animals will do. This is true. Yes. This is true. Because quite, well, we. But it's like, you can get a very dark turn and you can be like, well, you can be an otter and just rip everything. Well, yeah, dogs.

Birds are the biggest. Pretty really. There's some animals out there. You're going to have to bleep that word from this. Just make enough. Oh, he's been, dude, his pen's been scribbling for 10 minutes. Yeah, this is going to be an 8-minute podcast. I can not believe that this shit exists.

All right, you know what? Yeah. Let's play a game. Let's do it. Do we have a jingle? Let's do this one. Guess the animal based on their scientific name. Can you do, can you do?

Did you get a better fucking sound back or not? I sure did. He set it up when he was here for the whole day yesterday. That's all he did. All right, hold on. I'm going to do the title. Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm going to do the title. Kyle's going to play the music.

You do the, the vocal. Whatever that's called. Scat, scatting. All right, here we go. Three, two, one. Guess the animal based on their scientific name. Nice. That's pretty good.

All right, Kyle, host it. Let's go. All right. This works just like any other of these games, but this one's scientific name. How many got? Six. All right. Here's the question.

Will you, in the audience listening or watching, beat wildlife expert for Scalante? Well, unfortunately, I'm looking at the list. I know what some of these Latin names are. So I should go last. He's looking at list. All right. First up, Canis Lupus. Oh, God.

This is obviously a dog from Lupus, the country. It's a, I believe it's a wolf. Correct. Correct. Jesus! He found it. He found it. Identified it.

It's a less pleasant day. It's not his ear high-pitched. Canis Lupus is the gray wolf. Okay. So you're out of this game then? Or are we? No, he doesn't. I don't think he knows this next one.

Oh, no, I'm not out of this game. This is definitely a feline cactus. Kyle, how do you pronounce this? The next one is Phelis. Phyllis cadis. This is a, I know Felix the cat. Yeah, this is a city in L.A. Los Felis.

Phelis cat is a cat from Los Felis. I'm going to say, This is your run of the mill. Wishing you could be there live for the big game, soaking up the atmosphere of the crowd. But too often, life gets busy. Or the price hold you back. Priceline is here to help you make it happen.

Panther. House cat. From where? You get it. Yeah, that's Peter. That's a house. Peter got it. Peter got it.

Wait, literally just a house cat? Literally a house called. Feles. Yeah. Fuck. Okay. I mean, he's really,

he's making it kind of easy. Look, here's how you learn about, let me teach you some Latin real quick. Please. When they're really phoning it in in Latin, they make the last word, like where it says, Phelis Catas, something that's just like,

I don't know what this is. It's a, it's a cat us. You know what I mean? It's like, Phelis is the group of all cats. Like every leopard, every jaguar is a felus.

But the only reason I knew it was a house cat is because all of those other philids have a real legitimate scientific, like Latin name. Right. But they're like, what the fuck's a house cat? I don't know.

They're just phoning it in at that point. Yeah. Okay. Okay. One to one. Next one is Equis Cabias. It's a horse. Of course.

I think, yeah. Equestrian. Yeah. It's a horse. It's a horse. They do seem to get harder here. Caballis, though. So how about, I'll say this is a Clydesdale horse.

Okay, well, it's just a horse. Fuck off. All right. We're getting into the good stuff now. All right. Thank you. Here we go. All right.

Heterodontas, Portis Jacksonai. Heterodontas. Okay. Before you guys answer, can I give you? Do you know this one? I do. Why? Because the Latin translates to English.

Okay, so that's that, that's not an answer, but okay. Okay, if you can look at the entomology of the Latin words, it translates to English. So like a lot of these are, the scientific names are based, oh wait, never mind, that's the name of the game. Yes, but it's good. So heterodontas is about what? I don't, that's the part I don't know. I know the other part. So it's about, it's about their mouth, okay?

which is weird, I understand, and you won't understand why until we dictate what it is. It's a naked mole rat? No, but. Okay, so heterodontas is about the mouth and the teeth. It's about a grinding plate of an animal. Now that animal, where do you think it lives? Port Jackson. Very good.

So you have to, and assuming I'm right, I don't know this for sure, but you have to in your head go, okay, what has a very unusual grinding plate weird mouth that lives in Port Jackson? I don't know what Port Jackson is. Did you just make that up? It's a place in Australia. Wait, did you make up Port Jackson? No, Portis Jackson. I was like something about Port Jackson.

Correct. Oh, you actually knew Port Jackson was a location. No, I assumed. That's very intelligent because I never would have kissed that. Okay, but now that I've said that, take a stab at what it is and then I'll answer. I hopefully am right. Rinding plate and Port Jackson. Port Jackson, knowing that it's in Australia.

It is a port, so it's going to be an ocean, it's an ocean mammal, some sort of seal. with a grinding plate The Australian monk seal Nice, it's a guess I mean, I I mean crocodiles don't live It's gonna be a tur it's gonna be a turd Definitely a thing

With like a tortoise It's like a hard I am gonna go to I was gonna go like crocodile But they don't live in a port I am gonna say some type of Turtle It's so upsetting

Greg me even wrong Kyle I hope I'm right here But it's the Port Jackson shark That's what I was gonna say Let me see. Well, let me see. Now, the reason being those heterodontids sharks have this crazy mouth. So, yeah, Kyle will pull it up.

See if you can find its mouth here. Yeah, look at that mouth. Oh, my goodness. That is a weird alien-looking mouth. When I make fun of Forrest's head, this is what I'm talking about. Thanks, Peter. Do the other one. I'm going to have you bitten by one of these.

Are you offended by that? On your pecker. Oh, God. I would actually probably feel good. Those teeth are. Oh, that would not. They use those grinding plates to crush shells. I mean, it's a new vocabulary word.

that I can use for jokes. That is... Heterodontos? Just be like... You see that guy? He looks like a heterodontat. Yeah. Like a guy who's got...

You know, and that two teeth that are too big? Like, what's that actor? You know what I'm talking about? Timothy Shalman. Him too. I'm too big. I'm thinking of an 80s guy.

It doesn't matter. All right. Tom Cruise. Next up. Hippocampus erectus. I mean, if it's a hippo... Hippo. It's ridiculous, so it's not.

Hippocampus. Erectus. walks on two legs. Good. Campus is like the brain. The campus is part of your brain. Yeah. So like a big brained

primates. You're in the right direction. It's an orangutan. I'm going to disagree. No, get another guess. All right, fine. I'll go chimpanzee. Oh, I thought it was a chimpanzee too.

Forrest was doing a toothy agreement grin. He was shaking his head. Okay, then I am. And then I got the buzzer. Heterodontia. Sorry, hippocampus erectus, what stands on two feet? I don't know. What is it, Kyle?

According to this, it's a lion to sea horse. Wow. Oh, that's right. Hippocampus are sea horse. Arectus because they stand tall. You know what I mean? They stay vertical in the water. Sure.

That makes sense. You can learn something there. You couldn't logic our way out of that one. Uh-uh. No, I couldn't. Okay. Yeah, I wasn't figuring that one out. Would you drink a glass full of sea monkeys?

Oh, yeah. Wouldn't you? Probably. What are sea monkeys? I actually don't know. It's true. Good question. They're a brine shrimp.

Ah, so they're a shrimp. In fact, I just went with the sea center to my son. Well, none of that made sense. I just went with my son to the sea center yesterday. And they were selling those like 80 style brine shrimp kits. Remember those? Just add water. Get them out of the back of magazine.

Yeah, exactly. They had them at the sea center. That's the one they had, the sea monkeys ocean zoo. That's hilarious. Yeah, it's still around. So they're like freeze dried and you just reconstitute them and they stay alive? Yep. Because the way the brine shrimp.

Life cycle is, you could see this in California, by the way. It's absolutely fantastic. You go out to the Toofa Towers near to Bishop, California. Okay. And those salt flats and stuff, they fill up with water and they're full of sea monkeys or brine shrimp. And then when they dry up, they go dormant. Their eggs go dormant until water hits them again. And the eggs are what come in a sea monkey package. And then when you put water in it, they like hatch or whatever turn into it. Dude, I should have got my kid one. I'm going to go back to sea center. Look how cool that. is when it's all full of sea monkeys over there. And then what do they do, though? That's it. Well, what they'll do? I'll feed them to my fish at that point.

Have you started one of those terrarium self-sustaining ecosystem things? No, we're supposed to do it in here. I thought you had done that at your house. We must do it. All right, one more. One more. February of the month that we do it. This one's worth eight points.

Correct. I think I know what this one is based on breaking it down like the Port Jackson's. It's from Africa. Yeah. Okay. What is it? Loxodanta, Africana. Loxodon.

So Danta is going to be mouth related, dental related, tooth related. Smart. It's a, uh, locks is a delicious salmon. That's all I can think about. Yeah, smoke, smoke salmon. It's the African smoke salmon. Loxo. What would Loxo be?

Loxo. Something African. This is bad podcast for us. All right. All right. So Loxo at Danta, something with a mouth in Africa. I'll have to go with a howler monkey. I'm going to say.

It's a, no, it's not a hyena. You know how longies aren't in Africa, right? I do now. I'm an abstain. I'm pretty sure it's an African elephant. Luxodanta. Big teeth. Tusks.

Oh, yeah. Tusks. Tusks of Africana. Oh, I actually, this is the most I've learned on the pod in many years. What's the, what's the new vocab word that I already forgot? Herodonta. Heterodonta. Heterodonta.

Oh, yeah. Heterodontata. Or a heterodontid. Heterodontid. In the port, in Port Jacksoni. Jacksoni. All right, that was fun. Can we play the outro, the same music?

And I'd like to just do a little, another vocalization to it. Let him do it. You can do the announcement out. Oh, okay. Guess the animal based on their scientific name. That was nice. Do we get, yeah, of course we record those. If anybody wants to like buy it or just have it for fun.
