Latest / Privycast / Koala Pap and Chlamydia (Groundhog Day Special 2023)
Transcript
- 0:01>> Speaker A: Because they're, like, weird. They, like sweat milk, and their baby's
- 0:03like it, and, uh, it's just
- 0:06strange. And if you think that's the most disturbing
- 0:09thing I'm gonna say, a baby animal does this week,
- 0:11you're wrong.
- 0:19Back to privy. Privy is a
- 0:22podcast about bathrooms,
- 0:24recorded from my home
- 0:27bathroom. I'm your host, hunter
- 0:29hoover, and I love bathrooms.
- 0:32Uh, happy belated
- 0:35groundhogs day, everybody. I hope you
- 0:38guys, um, had the opportunity to
- 0:41observe however you choose, um,
- 0:44to do know.
- 0:47It's interesting, because
- 0:50little plumps of every
- 0:53year, every year, the little bloke just gets
- 0:56yanked right out of his hole. And here's the
- 0:58thing. I can't tell you what plumpsatami saw,
- 1:01because the way that I have structured and ordered my life,
- 1:05the release of this episode is too
- 1:07close to the actual
- 1:11yoinking, um, of plumps atomi himself.
- 1:13So I'm sorry if that's a disappointment,
- 1:16but plumps atomi, at the point of this recording, is
- 1:19still sound asleep in islumber, uh, and
- 1:21is totally
- 1:25unbothered by the nice blokes in the funny
- 1:27hats. Um, but I hope that, uh,
- 1:31I know that right now, me recording, I am looking
- 1:33forward to my groundhogs day celebrations. I'll
- 1:36be celebrating privately and publicly. Um, and
- 1:39I hope that you were able to enjoy your celebrations
- 1:42as well. Uh, and, um, that you were able to
- 1:45observe plumps atomy's big day. But
- 1:48here at privy, we have somewhat of
- 1:51a tradition, um, when it comes
- 1:54to the groundhog day season,
- 1:58uh, every year we take
- 2:01another look at one of
- 2:03God's great and unique creatures.
- 2:06There's all sorts of these little guys. And the interesting
- 2:09thing is animals poop, and they do weird things with their
- 2:12poop oftentimes. And so, uh,
- 2:17often these animals distinguish
- 2:20themselves from the
- 2:23strange bathroom habits and the things it does
- 2:26in the privacy of its own burrow hole or
- 2:28otherwise. In past years,
- 2:31we've discussed prairie dogs and the act of prairie
- 2:34dogging. It. Um, we've also discussed the glory that
- 2:37is the wombat and the terror that is their backsides.
- 2:40You get that wombat, and he's just over here, like.
- 2:44Just, like, butt smacking. Just
- 2:47butt smacking the predators. And
- 2:49so, here in
- 2:52privy, every year, we want to take a look at one of these beautiful
- 2:55creatures and just see what we can learn
- 2:58from these animals. Uh,
- 3:01so that's where we're going at the top of the show here. I think I need to
- 3:04do a little bathroom check in.
- 3:07So it's been kind of a
- 3:10weird front and I was having kind of a
- 3:13slump. Um, for those who have
- 3:15been listening for some time, I record all of my
- 3:18bathrooming in the poop map app.
- 3:21You can join us there. Follow the privies, join
- 3:24our group. Um, but I have
- 3:27recorded every poop in the poop map app. And one
- 3:30of the things that happened recently, I don't know what happened
- 3:33here, but on average, I would say I
- 3:36poop three to five times a day.
- 3:38Now, I understand that that number is
- 3:41astronomical compared to some. Um,
- 3:43I'm watching these TikToks, and this one guy is like,
- 3:46yeah, I've pooped once in the month of
- 3:49January so far, and I'm going, sweet
- 3:51Jesus, that's not enough.
- 3:54That's troubling to me. I am
- 3:57troubled. I
- 4:00think my concern is I went from pooping
- 4:02between three to five times a week or a
- 4:05day. My bad. Um, a day. A week would be
- 4:08probably normal to, like, once or twice. And it was,
- 4:11like, four or five days in a row to the point where I
- 4:14noticed it. I was like, man, I really feel like, um, this
- 4:17also coincided with the
- 4:19installation of a new bathroom
- 4:22fixture that will be featured prominently on the show
- 4:25before too long, it may be the reason that I am testing
- 4:28video. Uh,
- 4:30and there was a few days where I just was having
- 4:33this stuff happen, but then
- 4:36I got the great american
- 4:39unclogger, uh, and that is protein.
- 4:42So I had texted my wife. I said,
- 4:45hey, um, Anna, can you make me a
- 4:48protein shake? Now, we had
- 4:51purchased this protein shake. It is made from, like,
- 4:54pea protein, um, or something. I
- 4:57don't know. Um. I do know it smells like
- 4:59the bottom of a wet dumpster. It's awful smelling.
- 5:02It's absolutely heinous smelling. The taste is
- 5:05not terrible. It's mostly just a texture thing.
- 5:08Um, but, man, this protein is real rough.
- 5:13I get it. But I was not
- 5:16prepared for the bathroom situation
- 5:19that this protein shake produced, because
- 5:22I drank this protein shake around 06:00 p.m.
- 5:25And I kid you not, by 930, I had
- 5:28the stankiest beefers, and I had to poop
- 5:31so bad. I never have to go to poop that
- 5:34time. My bathrooming
- 5:37is focused between five and 10:00
- 5:40a.m. And then, like, once or twice in
- 5:43the afternoon. So for me to have
- 5:45to go take a pre
- 5:48bedtime shaz is just
- 5:50not normal. It's unheard of. And it
- 5:53struck me, but that's
- 5:56enough. Ah, that's just enough.
- 6:00You're over it. Everybody's like, yeah, thanks,
- 6:03hunter, but we really want to hear about
- 6:06this year's Groundhogs Day episode. So,
- 6:08um, this year,
- 6:11we're going to the land down
- 6:14under. Welcome to
- 6:17Australia. M. I can't do an Australian
- 6:22Australia mite. Uh,
- 6:24I can't do it. Um, the land
- 6:28down under, it would seem,
- 6:31is host to just the really freak of the
- 6:34bunch animals on this great planet.
- 6:37Um, last year,
- 6:39we talked about the wombat and his
- 6:42wonderful, butt smacking glory,
- 6:44and he's cute and he's
- 6:47cuddly. Ah. And he always got square
- 6:50poopies, and so that's kind of cool.
- 6:52But the thing that
- 6:55is so just down the road from the wombat, just
- 6:58down the road from our local neighborhood, wombat
- 7:01is the cute and cuddly. Uh, you just want to give
- 7:04them a big old hug. You just want to give
- 7:06them just a big Old
- 7:09Hug, is the koala.
- 7:13We have to travel to the eucalyptus forests
- 7:16of southeastern and eastern Australia.
- 7:19Koalas, according to National
- 7:21Geographic, ah, uh, are both a
- 7:24MAmmal and a marSupial. Now, you're going to hear that, and
- 7:27you're going to go, hunter's just special.
- 7:30He doesn't know how to read. He doesn't get it. He
- 7:33has goofed this thing. Now, here's the
- 7:36facts. Here's straight facts about it.
- 7:40I do, in fact, know how to read.
- 7:42Um, the problem is,
- 7:45I took a screenshot of this in case people didn't believe
- 7:48me. But the National
- 7:51Geographic website has it
- 7:53twisted, because on one portion they list
- 7:56it as a marSupial, and on the next portion, they list it as
- 7:59a MAmMal. Either that, or I'm blowing this fat out
- 8:02of proportion, and I don't understand what either of those things
- 8:05is. But in my education, which, again,
- 8:07science was, I was told science isn't real.
- 8:11Uh, uh. I was under the understanding that there
- 8:14is a difference between a mammal and a marsupial, that a
- 8:17mammal feeds its young off the
- 8:19teeth.
- 8:22And I know a little bit more about how
- 8:24marsupials feed their young, but it has something to do with that pouch. Do you know what I'm
- 8:27saying? Um, but
- 8:30according to Nat Geo and their website, koalas
- 8:33are both mammals and marsupials. So search me. Um,
- 8:36you know what? Maybe
- 8:39Nat Geo's got it more figured out than I do. You know what? I'm going
- 8:42to defer to them. I think it's an error, but
- 8:45I digress. The koala, for our
- 8:48purposes today, is, in fact, a marsupial.
- 8:51Other noted marsupials are the
- 8:54opossum, the kangaroo,
- 8:56and that's all that I know because
- 8:59I'm limited in my knowledge.
- 9:02I think that a platypus is like
- 9:05trying to be a marsupial but can't figure out how.
- 9:08Um, because they're like weird. They
- 9:11like sweat milk and their baby is like.
- 9:15It's just strange. And if you think that that's the most
- 9:18disturbing thing I'm going to say a baby Animal does this
- 9:20week, you're wrong. Uh, the Koala
- 9:23is in fact a marsupial. And much like me from grade
- 9:26seven to eleven, it's got a pocket in the
- 9:28front, uh, because
- 9:31I would wear those weird hoodies. Do you
- 9:34know the hoodies with the edgy teen
- 9:37pocket where they
- 9:39stuff their hands in it and they're. Huh,
- 9:42huh. Was.
- 9:45Anyway, the Koala is often
- 9:48mislabeled a bear as Koala Bear. It is not
- 9:51a bear. He is not a bear. That is Ursa. Ursa
- 9:54is Bear and Koala, this is
- 9:57the scientific name. And here comes a butcher of the
- 9:59week. It's
- 10:01fascolarkdos
- 10:04scenarios now.
- 10:07It's gibberish Latin
- 10:10nonsense. Um, ain't it
- 10:13usually. But a common misnomer
- 10:16is that these Koalas, as I noted,
- 10:19are so soft and cuddly and they're fuzzy.
- 10:22But what's actually really frustrating
- 10:25is that they're not like, they're
- 10:27not, koalas are not fuzzy. They're like
- 10:30coarse. They have coarse hair which is just awful.
- 10:34When you see a cuddly little Bear Animal. He's not a
- 10:37bear, but he is kind of a bear.
- 10:39Um, you want him to be fuzzy,
- 10:43you don't want them to be coarse. That's
- 10:45bad though. They are a marsupial.
- 10:48They have opposing thumbs on their feet. They're those
- 10:51weird like rant, rant, rant feet. Um,
- 10:55and they're used for climbing and they have
- 10:57fused toes and the toes they use to actually
- 11:00comb their hair. It's weird. Um,
- 11:03okay.
- 11:08As was noted, koalas live in the
- 11:10eucalyptus forests of Australia.
- 11:13But they not only live in the
- 11:16eucalyptus forests, they
- 11:18consume the eucalyptus. It's
- 11:21their treat of choice. Like
- 11:25little Dougie koala gets home and
- 11:27he's itching for a snack. He's like, mom, I
- 11:30need a snack.
- 11:34And he's of age because if he's not of age that
- 11:37snack's going to be troubling. And
- 11:39just slinging eucalyptus at little.
- 11:42Here's take your eucalyptus bites. Get
- 11:45these going.
- 11:48They consume eucalyptus.
- 11:51Oh. Rip it and grip it, baby.
- 11:56It's satisfactory. Ginger lime,
- 11:58satisfactory. It's perfectly serviceable.
- 12:02But they are one of the few
- 12:04if not only animals on our earth
- 12:08that consumes eucalyptus as part of its
- 12:10diet, mostly because
- 12:13usually to do so, to eat eucalyptus in this
- 12:16Way would be toxic. It's usually toxic. More
- 12:19on that in a moment. They eat more than a
- 12:22pound of eucalyptus a day and
- 12:24the koala sleeps so much
- 12:27it's almost a joke. It's kind
- 12:30of funny. They sleep about 18
- 12:33to 22 hours a day and I'm just going to go out and say
- 12:35it. That's all day. That's
- 12:38all day. There's 24 HOurs and it's Dark for
- 12:41six to ten of them. And so if they're sleeping
- 12:441820, that's all Day. Uh,
- 12:47you hear that, Teens? Hey, Teens.
- 12:49This is PSA for the Teens. I don't know if I doubt
- 12:52Teens listen to this, MOSTLy because I think Teens think
- 12:55podcasts are for old people who
- 12:58drink Coffee too mucH, which
- 13:01I mean, kind oF. But
- 13:04it's not just that. It's much more than that. Okay,
- 13:06Teens, but Teens,
- 13:10uh, I'm going to just say this to you.
- 13:13If you sleep for more than 12
- 13:15HOuRs of a DAY,
- 13:18I am going to go ahead and say you slept all
- 13:21Day. If you sleep for more than 12 hours of
- 13:24any 24 hours day,
- 13:26I'm going to go ahead and say that you have slept all
- 13:29day. So the
- 13:32koala is sleeping 18 to 22. There's hope
- 13:34for you yet, teens. Um, or you can view
- 13:37that as challenge issued and really go
- 13:40for the gusto on it. I would suggest
- 13:43not going for the gusto on it. That's just my
- 13:46perspective. Uh,
- 13:49I would be remiss if me,
- 13:53um, noted
- 13:56Pokemon enthusiast, I would be remiss
- 13:59if I didn't note one of the.
- 14:02It is the only koala Pokemon. But right
- 14:04now, who knows Pokemon company.
- 14:08They're all time putting out these strange creatures.
- 14:11Uh, but I would be remiss if I didn't
- 14:13mention Kamala. Uh, he is
- 14:16Pokemon's Koala
- 14:18Pokemon. Um, and he's based on
- 14:21this trope that the Koala sleeps too much. Like
- 14:24he is asleep. Like half the time. He's got this big
- 14:27log and he uses bonk people, other
- 14:29characters on the head. It's pretty great.
- 14:32It's a top notch design. Like, koala is a
- 14:35great pokemon, great design, gets good screen
- 14:38time in the cartoon, uh, it's all around
- 14:41just a good guy. Koalas have
- 14:44a really weird call that they make
- 14:47and it's kind of creepy.
- 14:50It is kind of creepy.
- 14:54I don't know. And what's really weird
- 14:57is much like my friend Austin
- 15:00in college
- 15:02Koalas don't really like. They don't really
- 15:05drink much water. They don't drink water.
- 15:08They get most of their moisture from the eucalyptus leaves
- 15:11that they eat. Uh,
- 15:15some koalas will store their
- 15:18eucalyptus in their cheek pouches for later. So
- 15:21they'll like chipmunk a big pile of eucalyptus
- 15:24leaves and stuff and they're like. And they'll get
- 15:27the big chuff over here to store the
- 15:30eucalyptus for later, whatever. Now for
- 15:33this next section we need to discuss a little bit of history
- 15:36of specifically Australia. In
- 15:391788, the British began to send
- 15:42its criminals to the land down under, thus
- 15:45colonizing the area shortly
- 15:48after its colonization. People did what people so
- 15:51often do. They started to settle and
- 15:54cut down stuff and m move into new territory
- 15:56and actually settle in the Land.
- 16:00In the 18 hundreds and 19 hundreds,
- 16:02koalas were readily hunted and
- 16:05harvested for their furs, boots with
- 16:08the furs. What started
- 16:11as threats to hunting
- 16:14turned into threats via loss of
- 16:17habitat. So at first they're hunted for their
- 16:19furs and then they begin to encroach
- 16:22on the eucalyptus forests, thus
- 16:25causing more trouble for the koalas.
- 16:28Save the KOALAS.
- 16:31One KOALA. To give you some perspective here,
- 16:34one koala, one small. He's not
- 16:37small, he's about 3ft tall. AH, 2ft tall.
- 16:40One koala needs about 100
- 16:43trees to just itself to
- 16:45maintain its diet and have sufficient
- 16:48territory to itself.
- 16:51So as the eucalyptus forests
- 16:53shrink, the koala population does
- 16:56in turn as more and more are pushed together.
- 16:59Today koalas are listed as a
- 17:02vulnerable species. But
- 17:05in our modern times
- 17:08a new challenger has approached the koala.
- 17:11A new threat has posed itself to the koala
- 17:14population. And for this portion
- 17:17of the program, I'm going to take you to what I
- 17:20like to call health two and the
- 17:23STD unit of sex ed class.
- 17:26Chlamydia is a common and
- 17:28notably treatable Std.
- 17:32The CDC notes, you may have chlamydia
- 17:35and not even know it. What a TERRIFYING THOUGHT. I think
- 17:38you would, um, I digress,
- 17:40but
- 17:43could you imagine you just go in for
- 17:46a cold or like, you go in because
- 17:49you need to get an x ray and they're like, oh, by
- 17:52the way, friend, you have this.
- 17:55Uh, okay.
- 17:58But chlamydia has lasting health
- 18:01concerns. Symptoms of chlamydia
- 18:04in humans include a burning sensation when you
- 18:06pee. Not good, very bad.
- 18:09Um, there should be no burning sensation
- 18:12on anywhere below the waist, in my opinion. Like, I'll
- 18:15go out on a limb and say it.
- 18:18The only place that have should burning sensation is your mouth when
- 18:21you eat a spicy pepper, or in my case,
- 18:24my eyes from the month of, like, April through October.
- 18:27But you may also experience strange
- 18:30stuff coming out of the peehole. Sweet.
- 18:34Uh, what are we doing?
- 18:36Like, strange quote, strange stuff coming out
- 18:39of the peehole. Good lord. Pain
- 18:42and swelling in the zone of truth.
- 18:44Like, golly,
- 18:48some people experience unusual soreness.
- 18:51I'll bet. Rectal pain. How'd it get
- 18:54back there? Bleeding very bad from
- 18:57anywhere down there. Stench from the privates
- 19:00and burning when peeing. No thanks
- 19:03in general there, like, no, thanks in general to all
- 19:06those. Just, I'm going to go ahead and
- 19:08say no thanks to any of them.
- 19:11But that's in humans. Like, when a human
- 19:14being gets the chlamydia. That's what
- 19:17they got going on. But what
- 19:20does any of this have to do with koalas? Like,
- 19:22hunter, you wished us a happy
- 19:25groundhog day. You told us a strange story about
- 19:28your bathrooming. You've introduced Koalas
- 19:31to us, and they seem like a strange creature. Why are you telling us
- 19:34about this Std? Well, that's because
- 19:37it is kind of like one of the more growing and more
- 19:40widely known facts. Now,
- 19:42unfortunately, that
- 19:44koalas have or carry
- 19:47chlamydia. It's
- 19:50an embarrassing and troubling thing to just have as a
- 19:53fun fact about you.
- 19:56Gosh, you're just an animal
- 19:59trying to do his best. And when somebody hops on
- 20:02the interwebs and punches in you
- 20:05as an animal, they're met with the
- 20:07description of the chlamydia that you carry. It's a SAD
- 20:10DAY. In
- 20:132008, only about 10% of
- 20:16all koalas had chlamydia. Those are good
- 20:19NUMBERS. Worse than HUMANS, but good
- 20:21NUMBERS. Uh, I guess. I
- 20:24think the GOAL is ZERO. I'm going to go out
- 20:27on a limb and say the goal for a percentage of
- 20:30people and koalas that have
- 20:32chlamydia is 0%. That's the GOAL.
- 20:35It's not NONE, THOUGH. 10% is.
- 20:38I'd wager that's more than the people who have it, right?
- 20:41Right. There
- 20:44has to be more koalas that have it.
- 20:47Yeah, it's not worth THINKING about. NOWADAYS,
- 20:50those NUMBERS are just ASTRONOMICAL. In
- 20:53about ten years, we are up
- 20:56to 80% to
- 20:5890% of koalas have chlamydia.
- 21:01That's almost all of THEM.
- 21:05And while some of the side effects of chlamydia and koalas
- 21:08are similar to those in humans, sores in the PP
- 21:11zone, that can lead to infertility in koalas
- 21:14it can also cause blindness.
- 21:17So the chlamydia
- 21:20is a danger to the koalas. But
- 21:24like we said, the CDC told
- 21:27us that this is
- 21:29treatable. So then just like do what
- 21:32you do to treat it. KOALAS
- 21:35in HUMANS, that is US.
- 21:38CHLAMYDIA is. I'd like to quit
- 21:41talking about chlamydia, by the way.
- 21:45I want to stop saying it.
- 21:48I feel like I've said the word chlamydia too much
- 21:51this episode and I'm sorry,
- 21:54but how else do we move forward?
- 21:57Take it up with the KOALAS. They're the ones who have it, not
- 21:59me. JEEPERS.
- 22:03But in CHLAMYDIA, NO, SCRATCH
- 22:05that. In humans
- 22:08chlamydia is treatable with
- 22:10antibiotics that kill the harmful bacteria
- 22:13that is causing the concerning
- 22:15std. Hooray.
- 22:17Antibiotics will solve this. Now
- 22:20treatment is the same for koalas, but
- 22:22koalas cannot take those antibiotics
- 22:25and it is not that they are unable or that they
- 22:28cannot swallow the medication or that it is allergic
- 22:31to them. The problem is it works too
- 22:34well and it actually kills the
- 22:37bacteria in their stomachs.
- 22:39Koalas have a gut
- 22:42biome that has specifically
- 22:45adjusted and has specific
- 22:47amounts and types of bacteria that
- 22:50help break down eucalyptus
- 22:53leaves and help deal with the toxins
- 22:56of eucalyptus leaves. They are special, their tum
- 22:59tums are very special and they have very special
- 23:02bacteria in their tummies that help what they
- 23:04eat. But the problem is if you give them
- 23:07antibiotics to cure the std, that somehow is in
- 23:10their eyes as well, that will
- 23:12kill the yummy bacteria that helps eat
- 23:15the good green eucalyptus bushes.
- 23:18So if you give a
- 23:21koala those antibiotics, their natural gut
- 23:24biome is going to get all sorts of whack. And then
- 23:27it's kind of like me after eating like a pound of nachos
- 23:30or uh, that protein shake, you know what
- 23:33I'm saying? But if you kill all the
- 23:36good eucalyptus, breaking down bacteria in the
- 23:39koala to get rid of the StD,
- 23:43then they aren't going to be able to eat their
- 23:45eucalyptus leaves anymore. Their diet is gone,
- 23:48they will be unable to digest it. And
- 23:51in my experience, in my experience, you're going
- 23:54to want to digest it like you want to
- 23:57digest your. Digesting your food is a very good thing.
- 24:00That's a problem. And so you'd think
- 24:03that well then they must be born with that
- 24:06biome in their tummy. Like they have this very good
- 24:08microbiome. They must be born with it.
- 24:11Well, we haven't gotten to the worst of koalas yet.
- 24:15Maybe they're born with it.
- 24:20Or maybe they suck it out of their mom's butt.
- 24:24Every day we stray farther from God.
- 24:28Now, if you hear that, if you hear the
- 24:31sentence that I said earlier and you think to
- 24:34yourself, well, my goodness, that's crass. Well, that's
- 24:36not my problem. That's what's what we're dealing with.
- 24:39It's just the TrUth. That's what koalas are doing.
- 24:42Okay, as
- 24:45we discussed, koalas are
- 24:47marsupials
- 24:51and mammals. I get it, NAt
- 24:53Geo, that one's for you. We get it.
- 24:57But koalas are marsupials and when
- 25:00a marsupial is born, the baby, also known
- 25:03as the joey, resides in the pouch of the mother,
- 25:06where its mother feeds the joey. Here's the
- 25:08DEAL. The koala's mother's milk is
- 25:11great. They feed through this, like, weird. It's
- 25:14kind of like LAcTAtion, but it happens inside the Pouch.
- 25:17I don't know another word I'd like to not say again
- 25:20is lactation. It doesn't
- 25:23necessarily model the diet of eucalyptus.
- 25:26Like, the mother's milk in the pouch
- 25:29and the babies are one day going to quit being
- 25:32babies and they're going to have to
- 25:35leave the pouch and go eat
- 25:37stuff outside the pouch. And
- 25:40so
- 25:43the koala Joeies aren't born with the
- 25:46very good bacteria to break down the eucalyptus. That's
- 25:49a problem because as we've already seen, the
- 25:52koalas need that. That's important. That's
- 25:55why the STD curing
- 25:57antibiotics will not function
- 26:00well. And so,
- 26:02uh, they're not born with that bacteria. But to
- 26:05get it, koala Joeys
- 26:08have to commit or perform something
- 26:11that I'd like to call the deed. When
- 26:14the baby koala reaches an age where it can crawl from
- 26:17the pouch, it commits the deed in the goal of
- 26:20gaining the ability to one day be able to consume
- 26:23eucalyptus.
- 26:26The joey koala has to consume
- 26:29something that has that bacteria inside it.
- 26:32And so it crawls from
- 26:35its mom's pouch down to its mom's
- 26:38butthole and eats a
- 26:41runny poop slurry called pap.
- 26:45The weird part is the sentence,
- 26:48and I'm quoting now from Internet
- 26:51sources that are scientific in nature and highly
- 26:53researched by me,
- 26:57it says, quote, the koala
- 26:59nuzzles the butt until the slurry
- 27:02comes out. So that's
- 27:05COOL. Uh,
- 27:08that's why we just called it the deed. Like anytime you're
- 27:11nuzzling a butthole until something comes out of it, you have
- 27:14strayed far from the course.
- 27:17The deed produces a sloppy wet pile
- 27:20called pap, which is a transition
- 27:22nutrient between the mother's milk and the
- 27:25eucalyptus leaves. The koala will eat the rest of its
- 27:28life. This pap
- 27:31contains the kickstarting
- 27:33bacteria for the microbiome that the
- 27:36koala needs to eat the yummy eucalyptus.
- 27:39And honestly, the pap is great. It
- 27:42has the nutrients, it prepares
- 27:45the joey koalas.
- 27:47But, like, why
- 27:50does it have to come out of the butthole?
- 27:54Why would they have to eat it from the butt
- 27:56area?
- 28:00Why can't the mom just, like, dookie pile and
- 28:02the baby, then go over and visit that? Or why can't
- 28:06the mom just regurgitate something that
- 28:08contains the pap? God, in all
- 28:11of your infinite wisdom, why was this the
- 28:13arrangement? Why is
- 28:16Joey koala supping pap from the
- 28:19mom's butthole? I don't understand it.
- 28:23Koalas have to eat their mom's poop
- 28:25as a means for survival. It's
- 28:28troubling. It's just troubling.
- 28:31But as we said, these blokes are
- 28:34struggling between sucking their mom's
- 28:37beef for poopy gut health to just kind of
- 28:39being guaranteed to have chlamydia at this point. Like,
- 28:42they're having a rough go. But
- 28:45perhaps the future is bright.
- 28:48As stated, to treat chlamydia and
- 28:51koalas would kill their microbiome
- 28:54needed for eucalyptus consumption. But
- 28:57what if, after the koala was treated for
- 29:00the clam, they underwent a fecal
- 29:02transplant, but this time as an
- 29:05adult? And with this proposal,
- 29:08the lifespan, or the life pattern of a
- 29:10koala would be you're born,
- 29:13you perform the deed on your mom,
- 29:16then as an adult, you contract chlamydia. It's the
- 29:19DREAM. That's the top three.
- 29:22You're given antibiotics, your tummy
- 29:25hurts and you need to eat or have
- 29:28poop injected into you so you can
- 29:31continue eating those very good leaves again and likely get
- 29:34chlamydia all over again one day?
- 29:36And I think, with that in mind, I think the goal
- 29:39is to get the chlamydia under control. Can we all
- 29:42agree we need to get the chlamydia sQuare?
- 29:45That's where we're at.
- 29:47KOALAS are WEIRD. UM, they're a very
- 29:50strange BEING. They have hopefully helped
- 29:53you celebrate groundhogs day as you've taken in
- 29:56another one of these amazing creatures.
- 29:59I hope you had a fantastic groundhogs day.
