  Speaker 1: You're looking delicious today, Jim. It's one more thing I'm
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: that was troubling to me for some reason. The website
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: New Scientist is trying to put a rosier spin on cannibalism.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We'll have that for you in a moment. They are, yes, what.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I was fascinated by that python farm story the other day.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I actually dug into that did a little reading, you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: because pythons are big and giant and meaty, and they're
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like super efficient with the way they turn calories into
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: muscle mass, and they taste like chicken.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I got a question about that, But when I get
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to the cannibalism, I'll I'll hit you.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: With it, all right, all right, fair enough. So after
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the show, before we started recording this, Hanson replayed a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: clip of me saying something rather dry about Jack, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Jack commented, that's a very I'm just Diane thing to say,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and I was reminded of a longtime listener to the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: show and hilarious tweeter I'm just Diane, and I went
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: digging into her twitter feed. She doesn't tweet as much
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: as she used to, I think, which is a shame
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: for humanity.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But she's had grown up with a job now and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it's not easy. You should follow her, Katie, if you've
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: never checked out, I'm just Diana. I am on her
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: change now. She is a listener we became aware of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, and she's very funny.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Her pinned tweet is I'd rather go home than go big,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: which I agree with. How perfect is that? And then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: somebody tweeted the the Nancy Pelosi this is not an
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: attempt to pan TikTok, It's an attempt to make TikTok better,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: tic tac toe a winner, a winner. Her comment has
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: simply nailed it. Oh boy, man, I love Understatement's hilarious.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Oh looking forward to the day my new phone stops
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: autocorrecting vape to raping.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Oh boy. Her best stuff is how much she hates
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: her job and her coworkers. But that's a different topic.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So New Scientists is a real science outfit, and they're
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: trying to take another look at cannibalism, and they mention
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: these bones that were found in a cave in southwest
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: England which beared all the marks of cannibalism. It is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: pretty clear that cannibalism was going on. Their teeth marks
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on the bones and the way. I won't get into details.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It's pretty gross. But and this was fourteen, seven hundred
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: years ago that they were practicing cannibalism there in England.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: To Protein's protein baby, that's what I say today, they
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: write in New Scientists.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Today, cannibalism is a taboo subject in many societies. We
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: see it as aberrant, as a clear in film such
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: as the Texas Chainsaw massacre. We associate it with zombies, psychopaths,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and serial killer like hannibal lecter. Positive stories about cannibals
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: are few and far between.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I would agree with you there, what I haven't heard
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: one of those? Wait, what a child's book about cannibalism?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Or Jimmy is a good guy like to golf, he
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: treated his family well, and he was a cannibal. He'll
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: be missed. Yeah, but perhaps it's time for a rethink
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because despite our preconceptions, evidence is accumulating that cannibalism was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a common human behavior. Our ancestors have been eating each
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: other for a million years or more. In fact, so
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was torture for years in the years, for centuries. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we should reconsider it. What a bizarre
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: story this is In fact, it seems that down the ages,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: around a fifth of societies have practiced cannibalism. While some
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of these people, while some of this people eating may
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have been simply to survive. In many cases, the reasons
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: look more complex. In places like this cave in southern England,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for example, consuming of the dead seems to have been
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: part of a funerary ritual, something they did when people died.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Far from a monstrous affront to nature, cannibalism may have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: been a way of showing respect and love for the dead,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: say archaeologist.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: No, uh yeah, no, no.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Whoever wrote this needs to be investigated.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He's like trying to sell this. I don't like it right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He's trying to soften a revelation that may occur someday
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about the barrels in his.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, he's trying to set the table cannibalism.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: We need to reconsider it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I just watched a horrible horror movie about cannibalism where
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: these guys invite a bunch of people over to their
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: house for a dinner party and they're serving them the victims,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: but they don't know it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Jim, never watch episodes of hannibal The prequel to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs. Yes, oh, my god, when he
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: would when he would sit down at the table in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: his suit, with his fine wine and his beautiful home
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and start slicing off pick pieces of the liver that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he cooked up. God, that dinner table events. Do you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: think because like you, you're so you're talking the other
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: day about the snakes and how that might become a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: meat of the future. And I said you because the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: idea of eating a snake disgusts me. There's something about
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: eating a reptile that I find.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And I've had snake, I've had alligator, there are multiple
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I've had it, but I don't want.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To It's gross. Alligator was great. Let's just fried meat,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that's all right. But could could you eat human? No?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: No, that's repugnant, repulsive. While I don't know, it's an
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: extinctive horror, I think now the concept of it being
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a funerary ritual. Does anybody have anything else they'd like
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to say about jim Okay, well, then we're passing out
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: knives and forks. If we could all make our way
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to the cast get.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got one more thing to say about Jimmy
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: looks delicious. Now that's some marbling. I mean, I know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I know he didn't exercise much, but that is some
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: delicious looking marbling.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: He's creating a nice rub for it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: If you heard me, I think, did I tell this
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: on the air? I can't remember my favorite joke now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: which also takes place at a funeral. If you've heard
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: this before, forgive me, but it's short. Uh. It's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: funeral and uh, and people are talking about the dearly departed,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and the widow stands up and says, is there anybody
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: else who'd like to say a word? The guy stands up,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: He said I would, and he says plethora, and he
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: sits down, and the widow says, thank you, Jim.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That means a lot to me.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is a good one I have. Actually you've
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: told that before, and I wrote it down to tell
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: it to somebody else, and then I never did, so
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: thank you for reminding me.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Pass it on.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, the beauty of that joke is you think the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: punch line is that he just says one word.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It is a twist, my love. It caught the twist,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: well done, got a good twist. That's funny. So back
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to cannibalism. I'm guessing that we're designed to be disgusted
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: by it only because most of human history people have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: been starving. And if you weren't disgusted by it, I mean,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: if you if you thought of eating another human the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: same way you thought of eating a cow, we would
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have all eaten each other. I mean, just the strongest
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: would have survived and eaten each other, and the societies
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that didn't find it up hurt and died out pretty
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: quickly because of that. That'd be my evolutionary guess.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're just like an epidemiological reason why it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a bad idea because obviously humans can catch human diseases,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: but I don't.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I suppose that's possible, but you know, we've mostly been
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: starving throughout history. If you weren't disgusted by it, and like,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the only the only way you could possibly do it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is if you're you know, the Donner Party, and you're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all starving to death. And many of them didn't participate,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: They went ahead and starved before they did it. Uh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: if it was okay with you, people would have turned
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to that right away. Yeah, I know I hates Jim.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: We all hate Jim. Let's eat him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I tell you what though, it's it's all about the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: method of preparation, because like, I'm not gonna have human
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: sushi or anything like that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's too much. Now I'm a medium rare guy, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going well done on Jim.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm like, maybe he smoked all day, like.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: A long maybe jerky even I want it really quick.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Could it be like a company.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Could it be like a sandwich, or maybe like a
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: wrap or something.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It's not just that, yeah, you know what I mean.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want it like tender and falling off the femur.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I just oh, you like a turkey leg you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you see it the fair.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I'd have to have small portions because I'm diabetic. That's right,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You're at the fair and you're eating a human legs.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Got that foot still see that's disgusting. So will see
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: if this catches on and if New Scientific is successful
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in their effort to I don't know, mainstream cannibalism, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: guess deserves.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: You know what the world we're in right now, it wouldn't.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Shock me, right right you it's a sick enough Well,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
