  Speaker 2: Question one. Before the NHL team, the Carolina Hurricanes were
• 17:45

  Speaker 2: Question three. An Internet challenge in late December twenty seventeen
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: in early twenty eighteen challenged kids to eat what Procter

  Speaker 2: and Gamble product.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And your final question again the categories animals, Which animal
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: can produce the loudest sound on Earth?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And now the answer is to the Big Bang Round
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Question one. Before the NHL team, the Carolina Hurricanes were
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: established in Raleigh, North Carolina in nineteen ninety seven, They
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: spent twenty five years under a different name in which
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: state Connecticut.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Question two, Little ceremonial fires are lit for a small
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: wooden idol named Yojo, who helps guide the decisions of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a character in which novel Moby Dick.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Question three, an Internet challenge in late December twenty seventeen
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: in early twenty eighteen challenged kids to eat what Procter
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and Gamble product tide pods If any children are listening,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: don't do that. Don't eat tide pods or other chemicals
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: things that aren't food. Don't do it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And finally, which animal can produce the loudest sound on earth?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Found in groups called pods? The state animal of Connecticut
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and presumably the Hartford Whalers, which was the hockey team,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And it's the title character of Moby Dick. Sperm whales nice.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: They can go over two hundred decibels with some of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: their clicks.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I think that's amazing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Some contenders for that title are blue whales, which apparently
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: don't get quite that loud. And the pistol shrimp, which
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: has a little claw that creates a little boom under
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the water and the cavitation of the water causes fish
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to be stunned or killed. And it can I think
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: fry some things, wow, literally cook them because of the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: heat that's produced with its little pistol claw.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's wild. Yeah, that's a.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Nice way to hunt. Moby Dick excellent book.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Oh I haven't read it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I love the beginning in the end. The middle
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: has some sections that it's okay, But.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Annie, you know everything about whale anatomy.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's just like, here's a chapter about flags
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that use on ships, here's a chapter about whaling categorizing.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Here's a chapter about blubber. Here's a chapter about he.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Snucks and learning into that fictional novel.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Right, amazing, but he also like it's learning, but it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: also out of ten because he goes on the speech
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: about whaling and how important it is. But he like
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: does this argument as if you the reader are arguing
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: with him, but you're just sitting there passively reading this
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: text from whenever, And he's like, oh, you don't think
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: it's the most noble profession, Well, here are the reasons
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you're wrong.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And he gets really like.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: It's very like preachy and passionate, and it's it's kind
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of it keeps it very entertaining because he's at A
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: twelve the whole time.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: And you said that was kind of the same way
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that Le Miz and War and Peace were written.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Right, Like it's well, but yeah, like you'll be reading
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Le Miz and it's about you know, this guy going
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: on their run from the law, and then they're like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: let's talk about French agriculture. Here are the different crops
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and why they're important, and it's just like, what what
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: is happening? And I guess it's just how they used
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to write books, where they're like it's half book and
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: then half philosophy. So yeah, like Warren Piece is like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: here's the here's a plot, here's some characters. We should
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: talk about soldiers, and we should talk about how only
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: leaders are remembered. But are they the ones who change
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the course of history. I don't think so. And it's
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: like okay, So it's like it's interesting. I mean, it's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: it's thought provoking, but it's also we're not used to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you know, we're used to like if you're doing audio books,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: like a six hour whatever, and it's all plot and
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: it's all characters and there's no deviation, and they're like,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's make this fifty six hours and
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: talk about crops in Wales and flags and anything else
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: that comes to mind.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Some lonely writers out.
• 23:17
