- 0:45Sure, children.
- 0:48Your suggestion
- 0:49is star.
- 0:51Star? Star?
- 0:53Star. Let the ones
- 0:55that watch over you and your little beds
- 0:57when you go to sleep at night.
- 0:59Thanks, Pa.
- 1:03Do you wish on stars?
- 1:06No.
- 1:06What?
- 1:07Like when you see them.
- 1:08It's like flashing.
- 1:09Shooting.
- 1:13I've only seen a couple shooting stars
- 1:16and they were like within days of each other.
- 1:19And you didn't wish?
- 1:21I don't have a ready-made wish.
- 1:24what
- 1:25I don't
- 1:27I don't have three things you want at all times
- 1:30I mean if I thought about it I probably
- 1:32would but I didn't you take
- 1:34that class in the fifth grade
- 1:35the wish class
- 1:37whenever you see a shooting star that is your
- 1:40cue to immediately be like what do I
- 1:42want and say it you got a like a three second
- 1:44window I know that's the thing is I'm not I
- 1:46wasn't fast enough with my window I wasn't
- 1:48prepared and the universe gave you a bunch in a
- 1:50short period of time I know I was wasted
- 1:52when was this
- 1:5315 years ago maybe oh my god i wished for a podcast with my dear friend
- 2:02oh my gosh and it didn't come true just kidding just kidding it did okay i'll put the bazooka down
- 2:10um wow that's crazy i wish on all of them when i see them i literally gasp and wish
- 2:16how often do you see them i've seen a lot really you look for you find uh are you looking up in
- 2:22the air a lot? Is that why? I'm always looking at the stars.
- 2:24As a matter of fact, I just changed the lights in my
- 2:26house from regular outside to
- 2:28red bulbs.
- 2:30Because that's what I did at the observatory.
- 2:31Because it helps your eyes adjust to the darkness so you can see more stars.
- 2:35Ooh, I did not know that.
- 2:36That's interesting.
- 2:37I think so too. See how my neighbors feel
- 2:40about the red rum house.
- 2:41I was going to say, do they all think that you've got like a little
- 2:44brothel going on?
- 2:46Think or no?
- 2:48That's your other neighbor.
- 2:49Yeah, it's alright.
- 2:51I go there sometimes.
- 2:52it's cool.
- 2:53Yeah.
- 2:55You get the neighborly discount Yeah I seeing about going to all my neighbors with and with like a little pamphlet that I going to make on Canva and a sponsor us Canva and be like
- 3:05we should all switch to red bulbs when yours go out.
- 3:07I'm not saying you need to buy them now.
- 3:08I'm saying if we all did this,
- 3:10we'd have a beautiful dark sky community.
- 3:13Hmm.
- 3:13It would cost you the same because you need a bulb.
- 3:17But does it,
- 3:18does the red light severely prohibit seeing things?
- 3:24no no you can see just as much yeah so red is the color they use on submarines did you know that
- 3:33i guess if i had to pick a color that gets seen around submarines i would say red
- 3:39but i didn't think of it as anything specific other than kind of like an alert or whatever
- 3:44and i trust them to see it's true we all every day are trusting submarines
- 3:48that they know what they're doing.
- 3:51Yeah.
- 3:51And you know,
- 3:52that light pollution disrupts like bats
- 3:56and they're like feeding patterns.
- 4:01It's too bright.
- 4:01They can't like,
- 4:04and that one might be bullshit.
- 4:06Maybe it's true.
- 4:07I don't know.
- 4:08Okay.
- 4:09Well, I thought they were blind,
- 4:11but now blind.
- 4:14You wonder why?
- 4:16Because of the light pollution?
- 4:18No, they hunt by echolocation.
- 4:20I don't know if that means they're blind.
- 4:21I think they're, I thought blind as a bat was a saying.
- 4:28Why would God do that?
- 4:31Why would you make an animal blind?
- 4:33All of them.
- 4:35Um, I don't know.
- 4:38Just drunk Friday night?
- 4:39Yeah.
- 4:40And they're blind.
- 4:42Wait, Joe.
- 4:43Oh my God.
- 4:44Bats are not blind.
- 4:46You owe me a huge apology.
- 4:48I think you owe God an apology.
- 4:50While they use sound waves to hunt insects in the dark,
- 4:53many bats also use their vision for long distance navigation.
- 4:57Francie.
- 4:58Can you ask if their lives have been disrupted by light pollution?
- 5:01Because I'd like to go two for two.
- 5:04Yay.
- 5:07Sorry, was that a preemptive A?
- 5:09Yay.
- 5:10Should I have waited?
- 5:11No, it's fine.
- 5:12Cool.
- 5:13Bats are highly affected by artificial light at night.
- 5:16Wow.
- 5:17The vast majority of bat species are severely harmed.
- 5:21Light pollution degrades their habitats by disrupting hunting,
- 5:23navigation, roosting, and migration.
- 5:26And they're huge pollinators.
- 5:30So listeners, if you want to get your shit pollinated by bats...
- 5:34Maybe put a red light on. You're welcome.
- 5:37And now, improv.
- 5:39Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, look.
- 5:48What?
- 5:49What?
- 5:49Where?
- 5:50Where?
- 5:51Look.
- 5:51Where?
- 5:52Oh a yellow Honda Civic just drove by Make a wish Oh it too late Oh Oh darn I never I too slow for these things Oh but you gotta be looking There opportunities for wishes all around us
- 6:07You know, I heard by the time you see a Honda Civic dart by, it's already crashed.
- 6:11Oh, I know. By the time you hear it, you hear the crash, your wish has already either been granted or not.
- 6:19Did you wish?
- 6:20I did wish.
- 6:21Are you, can I share?
- 6:23don't tell the universe that I'm cheating.
- 6:25I wish for a million more yellow Honda Civics.
- 6:28Oh my God, that's brilliant.
- 6:29Thank you.
- 6:30Oh, wow.
- 6:31Yeah.
- 6:31Oh gosh.
- 6:33I love,
- 6:33I love hanging here with you, Atlanta.
- 6:36Yeah.
- 6:37Thanks.
- 6:38I appreciate it.
- 6:38Yeah.
- 6:40Yeah.
- 6:40I love if we can just find opportunities for wish making all over.
- 6:46Oh, I agree.
- 6:48I love that there's so many different ways that we can really let the universe
- 6:51know what our intentions are.
- 6:53Yeah.
- 6:53I think if you intend to echolocate it, you will find it.
- 6:58Yeah.
- 6:59Yeah.
- 7:00Yeah.
- 7:01Yeah.
- 7:02That's why I always speak into a megaphone.
- 7:05To echolocate my wishes.
- 7:07That's cute.
- 7:10Oh, look, look, look, look.
- 7:12What?
- 7:12What?
- 7:12What?
- 7:13What?
- 7:13What?
- 7:14What?
- 7:15A woman on her way to work, but she's got a run in her pantyhose.
- 7:18Make a wish.
- 7:19I got one this time.
- 7:23Oh, good.
- 7:23What'd you wish for?
- 7:24A million more ladies with runs in their pantyhoses.
- 7:26Oh, bad for the ladies.
- 7:28Good for us.
- 7:28Yeah.
- 7:29God.
- 7:29Did you ever think about, uh, this would be cheating.
- 7:32It's deliberately being on your way to work and giving yourself a run in your pantyhose
- 7:35just so you could make a wish.
- 7:37Then you're a walking wish.
- 7:39I think that's okay.
- 7:40You think that's okay?
- 7:41You don't think the universe would frown upon that?
- 7:42No, it's a loophole.
- 7:43I think the universe gave us the creativity to think of a loophole.
- 7:49That's true.
- 7:49Why even give me this big, beautiful brain in old Atlanta's head if I couldn't use it?
- 7:57And why give Georgia this upturned, cool nose if I can smell it?
- 8:03Exactly.
- 8:04Yeah.
