- 0:07Speaker 2: Rogan Podcast, by Night, all day. My friend Joe's gonna say, ma, bro,
- 0:15Speaker 2: it's good to see you. So I've been sending you
- 0:17Speaker 2: stuff because like we've been, I knew that you were
- 0:19Speaker 2: coming on, and I sent you that one. Uh, that
- 0:22Speaker 2: video of the guy who got a trail camp photo
- 0:25Speaker 2: of a black panther. Yep, So is that just a
- 0:27Speaker 2: melanistic mountain lion?
- 0:30Speaker 3: So just that it's a great question. There's never been
- 0:32Speaker 3: a melanistic mountain lion. Nobody's ever seen one ever, never
- 0:36Speaker 3: hit one with a car, never born one, captivity, nothing,
- 0:39Speaker 3: whoa So mountain lions by definition, pumas, you know, whatever
- 0:42Speaker 3: you want to call them. There's never been a black
- 0:45Speaker 3: one ever. But every year, I mean, I got a
- 0:48Speaker 3: buddy in Florida swears blind that he's seen a black
- 0:51Speaker 3: mountain lion in his backyard. And yet that photo that
- 0:55Speaker 3: you sent me, that photo circulates like once every three years.
- 1:00Speaker 3: It's bullshit. It's a real photo, but it's a trailcam photo.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Oh it wasn't this one, but.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Well that's I think that's the first one. And then
- 1:06Speaker 2: there's another one with the cat gets like right up
- 1:09Speaker 2: to the ones.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that one, So that photo is a real I
- 1:13Speaker 3: want to say jaguar. It's hard to tell, but either
- 1:16Speaker 3: jaguar or black leopard, both of which do become melanistic.
- 1:20Speaker 3: And you can tell that because you can see the
- 1:22Speaker 3: spots barely like the rosettes. So all these melanistic cats,
- 1:26Speaker 3: like like jags and leopards and things that do get melanistic,
- 1:29Speaker 3: they still have those rosettes under the black coat.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 3: So not a mountain lion too bad. I know, it's
- 1:35Speaker 3: such a bummer. One day if somebody finds one, that'll
- 1:37Speaker 3: be like a huge thing.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Specifically funny that we want it to be different, because
- 1:42Speaker 2: just a mountain lion itself is amazing. I mean, if
- 1:45Speaker 2: they were all black and there was like a tan
- 1:47Speaker 2: mountain line, be like somebody saw.
- 1:50Speaker 3: It's like whatever is different and rare is what people
- 1:52Speaker 3: just are. Like, I want that one thing.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I've always said that about Bigfoot. Yeah, Bigfoot is kind
- 1:57Speaker 2: of interesting, but not as interesting as an orca, like right.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Like we have gorillas that are cooler than bigfoots.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Well, orcas in particular because they have languages that we can't.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Decipher languages, specialized diets some kind do you know. I'm
- 2:11Speaker 3: sure you know, us kind of even talk to each other, right, Yeah,
- 2:14Speaker 3: it's unbelievable. Like it's the same as if you or
- 2:16Speaker 3: I went to India or Africa. It's like we kind
- 2:18Speaker 3: of communicate. We don't eat the same food, we look
- 2:21Speaker 3: different and yet to us. And orcas and orca, right yeah.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And it's super smart and huge brains and don't kill
- 2:27Speaker 2: people for some strange reason except when they're in captivity,
- 2:30Speaker 2: that's right, Yeah.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Which is so crazy.
- 2:32Speaker 3: I did a thing in Baja Mexico maybe three years
- 2:35Speaker 3: ago where we were just cruising on this little ponga,
- 2:37Speaker 3: this little fishing boat, and we saw these orcas go by.
- 2:40Speaker 3: And now people seem to be doing it a lot,
- 2:42Speaker 3: but at the time it was like nobody had really
- 2:44Speaker 3: just tried this. And this was a transient population, which
- 2:47Speaker 3: means they primarily eat seals and sea lions, not the
- 2:50Speaker 3: sting ray eaters. And so we're like, fuck it, let's
- 2:53Speaker 3: just go, and we like ran the boat up ahead
- 2:55Speaker 3: and jumped in and the orcas came up and the
- 2:58Speaker 3: bowl never came out. So you know, the bowl has
- 2:59Speaker 3: a huge fin like he's the biggest, like the dominant
- 3:03Speaker 3: protector of the pod. But the cows and their babies
- 3:06Speaker 3: came up and the boat like drifted away and me
- 3:08Speaker 3: and my buddy Mike, and they just circled us, like
- 3:10Speaker 3: just looking at us with their big eyeballs and it
- 3:13Speaker 3: was me to you from orcas, And they did like
- 3:16Speaker 3: two circles around us, like what are these things? Then
- 3:18Speaker 3: we're just like eh boring and kept swimming.
- 3:20Speaker 2: They must know, right, if they're that intelligent and they
- 3:24Speaker 2: have language and they communicate, they must know that what
- 3:27Speaker 2: a person is, right.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I think of this. Oh dude, I saw the guy
- 3:31Speaker 1: that filmed this. This is so crazy.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Oorca headbutts of sunfish so hard it explodes.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Boom, turns into pieces. So this is a newly documented behavior.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Just in the last maybe six months, they've found that
- 3:43Speaker 3: orcas will literally explode fish from impact, whether it's a
- 3:47Speaker 3: game or what. But they're they're finding that this is
- 3:50Speaker 3: not the first time this is done. They're doing this.
- 3:52Speaker 3: They're starting to just explode these fish on impact. Just
- 3:56Speaker 3: because how are they doing that?
- 3:58Speaker 2: Like how fast are they going?
- 4:00Speaker 1: I do not know the answer to that, but it's impressive.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I would have never imagined that that would actually be possible, right, Like,
- 4:06Speaker 2: how fast can I I'm try?
- 4:08Speaker 4: Like, what does the starfish looks like?
- 4:09Speaker 1: Flat?
- 4:10Speaker 4: Like a stinger?
- 4:10Speaker 1: A sunfish?
- 4:11Speaker 3: It's like a mola mola, those ocean sunfish with the
- 4:13Speaker 3: big huge, a huge six hundred pounds.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I get huge. It's funny. I think literally turned to dust. Dude.
- 4:20Speaker 3: I think I think those are the orca equivalents of
- 4:23Speaker 3: like a redneck that wants to hit a turtle on
- 4:24Speaker 3: the road and they're just like, we're bored, let's explode it.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Or those guys that do that. Have you seen that game?
- 4:30Speaker 2: What's not game, but it's I guess whatever. It is
- 4:33Speaker 2: an activity where these guys just run at each other
- 4:35Speaker 2: full blast, dude.
- 4:36Speaker 1: RNC run Nation I love that are my favorite thing.
- 4:40Speaker 1: That's such a huge fan.
- 4:42Speaker 3: I love it because I played rugby, so it's rugby
- 4:45Speaker 3: boys that are doing it right. It's like an Oklahoma
- 4:47Speaker 3: drill except for rugby guys. And that's a drill that
- 4:49Speaker 3: when I was playing rugby we used to do all
- 4:51Speaker 3: the time.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Just run at each other. You just run it. It's
- 4:53Speaker 1: my favorite. Run Nation rn C. It's my favorite thing.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I watch every video. Look at these guys.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I would have never they both just went unconscious. Look
- 5:02Speaker 2: at they both want to Oh that guy's that guy's fine.
- 5:05Speaker 2: But I've seen it where they both get unconscious.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I want to bring these guys to the US and
- 5:10Speaker 3: see how they stack up against like NFL linebackers.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Jesus Christy both head but at each other.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Dude, dude, you love fight sports. What are you talking
- 5:17Speaker 1: about this sport?
- 5:18Speaker 2: This is just retarded.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I'm such a fan. Oh that's so silly. Oh, I
- 5:24Speaker 1: don't want to do it. To be clear, I see
- 5:26Speaker 1: that you like that.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I know too much about brain damage, and you should
- 5:29Speaker 2: too if you like rugby.
- 5:30Speaker 3: I've had too much brain damage to know too much
- 5:32Speaker 3: about right. No, I'm just kidding.
- 5:34Speaker 2: But how long did you play rugby for?
- 5:36Speaker 1: Well?
- 5:36Speaker 3: I grew up in Zimbabwe and so, like Southern Africa,
- 5:39Speaker 3: rugby is life, right, So it's like probably deep South
- 5:42Speaker 3: football kind of culture. So I still play, believe it
- 5:45Speaker 3: or not, except now I play very intermittently because one
- 5:48Speaker 3: game puts me out for weeks.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Have you ever got your brain examined?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Uh?
- 5:53Speaker 3: No, I have not one concussion in my life, so
- 5:56Speaker 3: I think I'm okay.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Oh that's silly because you guarantee you have subconcussive trauma.
- 6:02Speaker 1: What is subconcussive trauma?
- 6:03Speaker 2: Well, you where you don't go unconscious, but you get
- 6:06Speaker 2: rattled and then you have some brain damage.
- 6:08Speaker 1: You're probably right. Yeah, soccer players get it.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, soccer players getting Yeah, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Yeah,
- 6:16Speaker 2: that's soccer players get it. I did not know that
- 6:18Speaker 2: I'm heading the ball?
- 6:19Speaker 3: So is that And you know a lot about UFC?
- 6:21Speaker 3: Is that brain trauma worse than UFC type trauma?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Well, it's all brain trauma, and it's dependent upon many factors.
- 6:29Speaker 2: It's dependent upon how many times you've been hit. And
- 6:32Speaker 2: also there's a gene variation. It's apoe four. Is that
- 6:38Speaker 2: what it is? If you have this one particular gene,
- 6:45Speaker 2: it makes you more susceptible to CT for some interesting Yeah.
- 6:48Speaker 3: So like because a brain a concussion is when your
- 6:50Speaker 3: brain sort of impacts against your skull.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 6:53Speaker 2: There's that, and I mean I think it's also it's
- 6:56Speaker 2: not just that. It's like if you get hit in
- 6:58Speaker 2: the neck, you can get a concussion.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Also.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Also a lot of people don't realize you can
- 7:03Speaker 2: get a concussion from getting.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Hit in the body. Really, how does that work? Because
- 7:07Speaker 1: get rattled?
- 7:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Also another group of people that seem to get
- 7:12Speaker 2: CTE are people who ride jet skis.
- 7:15Speaker 1: That's wild. Oh does that work?
- 7:17Speaker 5: Well?
- 7:18Speaker 2: My friend Mark Gordon, he's a doctor who specializes in
- 7:21Speaker 2: traumatic brain injuries and treating football players soldiers, and he's
- 7:27Speaker 2: treated some fighters as well. He said that any repeated stress,
- 7:31Speaker 2: any banging, anything like that, head banging, Like if you're
- 7:34Speaker 2: fucking head banging, yeah, like you're probably gonna get brain damage.
- 7:38Speaker 2: No way, yeah, legitimate brain damage. Like I can't remember
- 7:42Speaker 2: what I was doing five seconds ago? Where's my keys?
- 7:45Speaker 2: I forget what I'm talking about? Mid sentence, you're scaring
- 7:48Speaker 2: me here?
- 7:48Speaker 1: Things I enjoy doing.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Enjoyed running straight at people for the last Yeah, I
- 7:54Speaker 2: just uh, those guys are animals. They're tough guys, no
- 7:58Speaker 2: doubt about it.
- 7:59Speaker 3: And those Pacific Island because those the guys that are
- 8:01Speaker 3: doing it primarily right, like they play rugby league and stuff.
- 8:04Speaker 1: They're built different. Oh yeah, like they're so hard it's insane.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Do you remember David Tua. No, David Tua was a
- 8:10Speaker 2: heavyweight boxer back in the day who was like one
- 8:14Speaker 2: of the most ferocious guys that ever fought in boxing,
- 8:16Speaker 2: and it just just built like like your prototypical island
- 8:23Speaker 2: warrior guy.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's David two. Yah.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Just a tank.
- 8:27Speaker 1: You don't want to run it at that guy, I'm
- 8:28Speaker 1: telling you what.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just a monster knock people out. And
- 8:35Speaker 2: you knocked out John Ruiz like famously in the first
- 8:37Speaker 2: round and like something like thirty seconds or something like
- 8:39Speaker 2: that was crazy different breed man.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Crazy left fook.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Yeah, that that kind of guy. I mean, we've had
- 8:44Speaker 2: a bunch of Mark Hunt, who's a famous kickboxer, was
- 8:47Speaker 2: another guy that built like that. Yeah, just just wide
- 8:49Speaker 2: as a fucking barn.
- 8:51Speaker 1: There's like no waste. It's just like a brick of
- 8:53Speaker 1: the rock. Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Again playing rugby, I played rugby against guys like that
- 8:58Speaker 3: and it was the worst.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Those are the dudes that have the balls to get
- 9:00Speaker 2: in a little tiny boat, make it across the fucking.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Ocean and then kick your ass. That's what it is, really.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I mean you think about it like only the super
- 9:08Speaker 2: robust survived, right, So it's like nature just weeding out
- 9:12Speaker 2: any possible weakness. Only the strongest human beings made it.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Absolute natural selection, similar to the African Americans that we
- 9:20Speaker 3: have in North America, Like, those are the strongest, best
- 9:22Speaker 3: guys that came over here, right right, and that's why
- 9:24Speaker 3: they're all the most incredible athletes all.
- 9:27Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, Yeah, I know what
- 9:28Speaker 1: you're saying.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean. It's also like when you look at
- 9:32Speaker 2: like guys from Iceland, the strong men. Yeah, so how
- 9:34Speaker 2: many strong leinner from Iceland? Well, how many fucking Vikings
- 9:37Speaker 2: from Iceland?
- 9:38Speaker 1: Legit? Yeah? Right.
- 9:40Speaker 2: It's weird when you think about it that, like nature
- 9:43Speaker 2: finds its way.
- 9:44Speaker 3: It's the same thing. It's like we think we're so
- 9:46Speaker 3: different and above like animals and stuff. It's natural selection.
- 9:49Speaker 3: We just bring the biggest, the best, and the strongest
- 9:51Speaker 3: into some area, whether that's Vikings colonizing Iceland or or
- 9:55Speaker 3: the Samoans on their islands, or whatever it happens to be.
- 9:57Speaker 3: And you're just like, well, here's a superior popular because
- 10:00Speaker 3: we all the biggest, best and strongest have made it
- 10:03Speaker 3: and all of the weakest have died off.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Isn't that weird?
- 10:05Speaker 2: Like you, as a guy who studies wildlife biology, isn't
- 10:08Speaker 2: it weird that we want to think of ourselves as
- 10:10Speaker 2: being a different thing. We are clearly not.
- 10:14Speaker 3: We're not We're not even at the top. That's the
- 10:16Speaker 3: thing that people never understand intellectually. We are obviously look
- 10:19Speaker 3: at what we've built, but like we're not even we
- 10:21Speaker 3: don't even sit at the top of the food chain.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But we kind of do because we kill everything else
- 10:26Speaker 2: if we want to. Well, because because yeah, well not
- 10:29Speaker 2: even our brains. Really, it's other people's brains that invented guns.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It's true. That's such interesting.
- 10:36Speaker 2: It is like our brains are our evolutionary advantage. It
- 10:40Speaker 2: transfers over to people that don't have good genetics. Yeah, right,
- 10:45Speaker 2: Like because you could be built like a bag of shit,
- 10:47Speaker 2: like a literal bag of shit, and you can kill
- 10:49Speaker 2: a grizzly bear.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Or the rifle. That's right, kind of nuts, right, it's crazy.
- 10:53Speaker 2: You can just be sitting there on a ridge with
- 10:56Speaker 2: a scope and boom and you kill a twelve hundred
- 10:59Speaker 2: pound Cody brown bear.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Because all of our biological energy goes into this thing
- 11:03Speaker 3: instead of being physically big or intimidating or any of
- 11:06Speaker 3: those other things.
- 11:07Speaker 2: We can transfer what we figured out onto other people,
- 11:11Speaker 2: which is no other animals ever figured out how to
- 11:13Speaker 2: do that.
- 11:14Speaker 1: No isn't that crazy? Wild? Yeah, it's really wild.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's when you think about it, it's like what
- 11:20Speaker 2: if you were studying us, if you were coming from
- 11:22Speaker 2: another planet and you were studying us, you'd be like, Wow,
- 11:24Speaker 2: this one animal was fucking weird. Yeah, this one, this
- 11:28Speaker 2: one's doing something different.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, but they.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Would still look at us and go, oh, well, they're
- 11:33Speaker 2: definitely animals, Like look at them.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you looked at the Earth from an
- 11:37Speaker 3: Earth shot, you'd look at what we've done and be like,
- 11:39Speaker 3: this is the top animal. But they're parasitic and colonizing
- 11:43Speaker 3: the whole planet and changing things and manipulating things, whereas
- 11:46Speaker 3: all the other animals are just getting by.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:49Speaker 2: If we found out that there were actual visiting aliens,
- 11:54Speaker 2: that there was actual intelligent life from somewhere else visiting us,
- 12:00Speaker 2: I think there a lot of us would probably be
- 12:01Speaker 2: like why didn't you help? Yeah, why why didn't you
- 12:05Speaker 2: come along and say hey, cut the ship?
- 12:07Speaker 3: It reminds me of the I don't know, do you
- 12:10Speaker 3: watch South Park ever? Yes, there was an old South
- 12:12Speaker 3: Park episode where Earth was like a reality show and
- 12:15Speaker 3: it's so like, let's see who's getting along this week?
- 12:17Speaker 3: The Zebras are fighting with the giraffes and the people
- 12:19Speaker 3: are doing this and it's like it's like, we're just
- 12:21Speaker 3: like a reality show for the universe where you just
- 12:23Speaker 3: put a bunch of species.
- 12:24Speaker 1: We're like a big big brother situation. Well we are
- 12:27Speaker 1: kind of that for us.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Oh tell where we are.
- 12:30Speaker 1: That's what a reality show is. A reality show for
- 12:32Speaker 1: us is the world?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Lindsey Graham. Did he die in a
- 12:36Speaker 2: rocket accident? Or did he die? Was he poisoned by Russia?
- 12:40Speaker 2: Let's tune in to Twitter and find out, you know
- 12:42Speaker 2: what I mean exactly.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Man, It's hilarious. We are.
- 12:45Speaker 2: We are locked in on whatever the fuck is happening
- 12:48Speaker 2: all over the world, all at once. And that's one
- 12:50Speaker 2: of the weird things about social media now is that
- 12:53Speaker 2: we're constantly being inundated with new things to occupy our attention.
- 12:58Speaker 3: You know, and we have no attention span to watch
- 13:00Speaker 3: anything for more than five seconds.
- 13:02Speaker 2: But yet at the same time, this is the rise
- 13:04Speaker 2: of podcasts.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Yeah, which are long form, right.
- 13:07Speaker 2: So it's clear that that's not really the case with everybody.
- 13:11Speaker 2: There's enough people that are interested in actual fascinating things
- 13:13Speaker 2: and have an attention span it's just like we're all
- 13:16Speaker 2: susceptible to the brain rod that comes with just scrolling.
- 13:20Speaker 3: It's so hard, not like I've tried to make conscious decisions,
- 13:23Speaker 3: because you know, you can imagine what my Instagram feed
- 13:25Speaker 3: looks like, right, it's animal after animal, half of its
- 13:27Speaker 3: AI now whatever, And I still try and make a
- 13:31Speaker 3: conscious decision to not look at it, and I find
- 13:33Speaker 3: myself just reaching for my phone and doing this. It's
- 13:36Speaker 3: just we're wired into it now. Yeah, dopamine hits crazy and.
- 13:40Speaker 2: It's not even really rewarding, which is really terrifying to
- 13:43Speaker 2: me because it's not something that's like really feels.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Great, and you barely retain the information. Like even if
- 13:49Speaker 3: you watch an educational one where you're like, wow, that
- 13:51Speaker 3: was amazing, you barely retain that information because it's such
- 13:54Speaker 3: a quick thing until you're onto the next one.
- 13:56Speaker 2: At least for me, Yeah, there's a little bit of
- 13:58Speaker 2: that in there for sure. But I think I've gotten
- 14:00Speaker 2: a pretty good algorithm lately. So lately, for whatever reason,
- 14:05Speaker 2: my algorithm has been really excellent. It's really dialed in
- 14:08Speaker 2: where I'm only getting like really fascinating things of the
- 14:11Speaker 2: couple of weeks.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, it's been great. That's way better.
- 14:13Speaker 2: And then every now and then some retarded shit comes on.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I just skipped through it real quick, and I'm like,
- 14:18Speaker 2: I keep this algorithm going good.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Or you text me at Bigfoot AI think Bigfoot budds
- 14:23Speaker 1: are so silly, They're so bad. There's so silly. You
- 14:26Speaker 1: actually texted me the Bigfoot one. Well it was the
- 14:28Speaker 1: same guy, you said, the same guy I texted you back.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think so, dude.
- 14:32Speaker 3: He's like this guy raised a baby Bigfoot in secrecy
- 14:35Speaker 3: for ten years.
- 14:36Speaker 1: So bad, so bad, so obvious.
- 14:38Speaker 2: It is like a shitty AI photograph of like like
- 14:42Speaker 2: a blurry polaroid photograph.
- 14:44Speaker 3: And then you read the comments and there's like four
- 14:46Speaker 3: hundred people going like, oh my god, I can't believe
- 14:48Speaker 3: this happened.
- 14:48Speaker 1: And you're like, come on, oh dude.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Duncan and I back in the day, like in twenty
- 14:53Speaker 2: twelve or eleven, whatever it was, when I did that
- 14:55Speaker 2: sci fi show Joe Brogan Questions everything.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Uh huh.
- 14:58Speaker 2: We went and hung out with big people. We we
- 15:01Speaker 2: actually went bigfoot hunting. No way, Oh yeah, we hung Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 2: We were with them for a couple of days. How
- 15:05Speaker 2: is that woods the Pacific Northwest. It's kind of sad, Yeah,
- 15:09Speaker 2: because the way I describe it, I said, here's what
- 15:11Speaker 2: you don't find when you go looking for bigfoot.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Black people.
- 15:15Speaker 2: You're more likely to find Bigfoot than you are Black
- 15:17Speaker 2: people looking for Bigfoot. It's just such a crazy, unfuckable
- 15:20Speaker 2: white guys out in the woods staring at shadows.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It's like making something out of nothing. Right, look at
- 15:28Speaker 1: that leaf. It must have been here.
- 15:29Speaker 2: It's just unfuckable, guys. It's really what it is. It's
- 15:33Speaker 2: it's unfortunately, that's really what it is. It's not that
- 15:37Speaker 2: there's not something to the story, because I think there
- 15:40Speaker 2: is something to the story.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:42Speaker 2: I think it's an old story.
- 15:44Speaker 1: It dates all the way back to Native Americans.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Well, not just that. There's how many we we looked
- 15:49Speaker 2: this up before, Like how many different names there are,
- 15:51Speaker 2: and I think it was more than fifty different Native
- 15:54Speaker 2: American Yeah, that looks great. This guy is dead big
- 16:00Speaker 2: by the way. You imagine sitting that close to that thing,
- 16:03Speaker 2: how bad that would smell.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it's revolting.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I mean the thing's been dead for who knows how
- 16:07Speaker 2: long and this guy's just hanging out. Yeah, taking a
- 16:09Speaker 2: picture However, look side fun fact.
- 16:12Speaker 4: This guy was on your mom's house like twelve years ago,
- 16:15Speaker 4: was he?
- 16:15Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 16:16Speaker 2: What is he like?
- 16:16Speaker 4: A fun guy on Instagram as a dog trainer.
- 16:19Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Tom found his videos a long time ago and they
- 16:22Speaker 4: brought him into a podcast with him, and I.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Just don't know. I know who this guy is.
- 16:26Speaker 4: No, no, I got in a big foot.
- 16:29Speaker 1: He has bigfoot's body that looks. That's so bad, dude,
- 16:35Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at these look at a smile.
- 16:41Speaker 4: I mean he could be just a full sapiric control with.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Oh into it.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Look at this it's a caken a cake. Oh my god,
- 16:52Speaker 2: he saw it? Into it?
- 16:53Speaker 1: Opening up Tom, Oh he found a foot. Oh yeah,
- 16:56Speaker 1: very real.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Very real looking foot.
- 16:59Speaker 3: So if you kind of trust a guy in overalls
- 17:01Speaker 3: with no shirt, who can you trust?
- 17:02Speaker 2: Wait, guys are in great shape for his age. He
- 17:04Speaker 2: is looks looks ripped. It's out there lifting up fake
- 17:07Speaker 2: pigfoots all day.
- 17:08Speaker 1: They're heavy. I think there was.
- 17:13Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we know the Gigantopithecus was real, but
- 17:16Speaker 2: we were reading about this the other day that it
- 17:18Speaker 2: seems like Gigantopithecus wasn't bipedal and that there was some
- 17:23Speaker 2: dispute as to whether or not it was bipedal. But
- 17:25Speaker 2: apparently there's some biologists that are saying no, it was
- 17:29Speaker 2: most likely walking around like an orangutans.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Interesting. Huge just just oh wow.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Just a huge orangutan looking thing.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Huh.
- 17:35Speaker 3: No, I've heard of it. I didn't know that it
- 17:36Speaker 3: wasn't bipedal though. That's fascinating.
- 17:38Speaker 2: I think it's under dispute. I think I think it's
- 17:40Speaker 2: been disputed. That's interesting.
- 17:42Speaker 1: It's hard to say.
- 17:43Speaker 2: They don't have a lot of bones, right, They only
- 17:45Speaker 2: have like a few jawbones and some stuff.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Like of them.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I learned something pretty interesting this last week.
- 17:51Speaker 3: So I I just got back from India, literally flew
- 17:53Speaker 3: in here from India and we were doing some elephant
- 17:56Speaker 3: rescues with Ventaara, that big Indian wildlife rescue place. This
- 18:02Speaker 3: elephant got hit by a car that we went and rescued,
- 18:05Speaker 3: so its leg was all jacked up. Speaking of non
- 18:07Speaker 3: bipedal things, so you would think just the elephant would
- 18:10Speaker 3: walk with a limp. Well, having that trunk, it's incredible
- 18:13Speaker 3: they use that trunk as a limb. So I was
- 18:16Speaker 3: watching this elephant walk I wish I had photos or
- 18:19Speaker 3: video to show you, but I was watching this elephant
- 18:21Speaker 3: walk and it wouldn't put weight on its leg that
- 18:23Speaker 3: was hit by the car, so it would walk with
- 18:25Speaker 3: three legs and its trunk as its fourth appendage. Oh wow,
- 18:28Speaker 3: which is an amazing thing to see because you think
- 18:30Speaker 3: of the size of an elephant's cranium and its head
- 18:31Speaker 3: and the weight, and in order to move that distribution
- 18:34Speaker 3: off of that broken leg, it was using this trunk
- 18:37Speaker 3: as a limb. It was just it was incredible. It
- 18:39Speaker 3: was really sad, but it was an incredible thing to
- 18:41Speaker 3: see the way they sort of figured out how to
- 18:43Speaker 3: maneuver using that fifth appendage.

- 19:45Speaker 1: So? L in India?
- 19:47Speaker 2: Is it broken?
- 19:49Speaker 3: I don't know it went so we went to Basically,
- 19:51Speaker 3: so I work with this place called Ventura, which is
- 19:53Speaker 3: the world's largest wildlife rescue.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And rehab center.
- 19:55Speaker 3: It's unreal, dude, it would blow your mind. I mean,
- 19:58Speaker 3: like on a whole other level, all privately funded by
- 20:01Speaker 3: a not and Banni, this Indian billionaire guy, the guy
- 20:03Speaker 3: who had the huge wedding if you remember that at
- 20:05Speaker 3: Justin Bieber sing at his wedding and stuff.
- 20:07Speaker 1: He's a great dude. Him and I are buddies now.
- 20:09Speaker 3: But so he's funded this world's large wildlife rescue and
- 20:12Speaker 3: rehabit like it makes the San Diego Zoo look like
- 20:14Speaker 3: a roadside attraction. I mean, it's like crazy big and
- 20:17Speaker 3: so he does all these rescues. Right, So the reason
- 20:20Speaker 3: I'm telling you all this is they go and respond
- 20:22Speaker 3: to these rescues and then take it into this gigantic
- 20:25Speaker 3: world's biggest animal hospital that they've built. So we went
- 20:28Speaker 3: and rescued the elephant and now it's probably by today
- 20:32Speaker 3: back in Vanara. Yeah, here you go, and they'll be
- 20:35Speaker 3: treating it.
- 20:36Speaker 1: So this is long toy. This is the other one.
- 20:37Speaker 1: We did two rescues.
- 20:38Speaker 3: This one was born with splay legs and then went
- 20:42Speaker 3: into logging, and so all the weight and stuff from logging.
- 20:45Speaker 3: See you see the splay legs on the front there.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Ouch. Yeah. So anyway, that was just incredible.
- 20:50Speaker 3: But the short answer is they do let people treat
- 20:52Speaker 3: them because these animals are raised by incaptivity by what's
- 20:57Speaker 3: called mahoots, which are elephant riders. And it's so really
- 21:00Speaker 3: the whole dynamics really fascinating. So you grow up with
- 21:03Speaker 3: an elephant as a mahoot in Indian culture, and then
- 21:06Speaker 3: there's usually one or two mahoots that spend their life
- 21:08Speaker 3: dedicated to the elephant and all they do is ride them,
- 21:11Speaker 3: log them, they use them as tools, but they still
- 21:13Speaker 3: love them very much. It's just they use them as
- 21:16Speaker 3: a tool. Elephants obviously aren't made to do that, so
- 21:18Speaker 3: they break down over time.
- 21:20Speaker 2: So that's why it's legs or like that. It's from
- 21:22Speaker 2: carrying the amount of weight that comes from.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Logging, so that one would have been born with a deformity,
- 21:27Speaker 3: but then yours of compounded weight and everything else makes
- 21:30Speaker 3: its legs like that.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy.
- 21:32Speaker 3: And then yeah, so we go and we take the
- 21:34Speaker 3: elephants in plus the mahoots and take them all back
- 21:37Speaker 3: to Ventar, give them ahoots a full time job. These
- 21:39Speaker 3: guys are sleeping on mattresses on the floor, right, and
- 21:41Speaker 3: then take them back and it's a whole thing. Reform everybody.
- 21:44Speaker 3: It's amazing thing.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow.
- 21:46Speaker 2: So when they treat the elephants, like what do they
- 21:49Speaker 2: do for an elephant that has a broken leg?
- 21:51Speaker 3: So most of it's just pain management, right because you
- 21:54Speaker 3: can only get so far.
- 21:55Speaker 1: So the one that got.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Hit by set them in a cast.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Uh not really, Oh you know, it depends. I guess
- 22:01Speaker 3: it depends on the fracture. I'm not a vet, but
- 22:03Speaker 3: I guess it depends on the fracture. But what they
- 22:05Speaker 3: do is they have and Jamie, you might be able
- 22:07Speaker 3: to see. It's incredible. They have this giant jacuzzie like
- 22:10Speaker 3: imagine a jacuzzi the size of your building here for elephants,
- 22:13Speaker 3: and it's their hydro therapy pool. So these animals that
- 22:15Speaker 3: have terrible arthritis or fucked up feed or bad legs
- 22:18Speaker 3: like that, they just spend all day in the water
- 22:20Speaker 3: because then there's no weight on their limbs.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Oh wow, which is really cool.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Do they have medication like anti inflammatories for elephants everything?
- 22:28Speaker 3: Man, this place uses unbelievable Eastern medicine, Western medicine. This
- 22:34Speaker 3: crazy hospital. There's a lot of guys talking on their
- 22:36Speaker 3: Instagram unfortunately, but yeah, yeah, yeah, look at that. Isn't
- 22:42Speaker 3: that crazy?
- 22:43Speaker 1: So they do these amazing things.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Oh fuck man.
- 22:47Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a really really cool place and we
- 22:49Speaker 1: get to do some fun stuff. So I was really
- 22:51Speaker 1: privileged to be part of those.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Elephant rescue is really emotional when you see an animal
- 22:55Speaker 3: like an elephant that has so much like intelligence look
- 22:57Speaker 3: you in the eye and be like, I'm in so
- 22:59Speaker 3: much pain, and then you like start to relieve it.
- 23:01Speaker 1: It's cool.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I went to visit this place in Thailand a few
- 23:06Speaker 2: years back that has wild elephants, so they're wild elephants,
- 23:10Speaker 2: but you can ride them, and that you feed them,
- 23:13Speaker 2: so you make you have you make friends with them first. Yeah,
- 23:16Speaker 2: like you feed them sugarcane, you hang out with them,
- 23:18Speaker 2: you pet them, and then they let you ride them
- 23:20Speaker 2: and they put their arm out like they's like good,
- 23:22Speaker 2: Yeah to walk out to Secon go ahead. So I
- 23:25Speaker 2: lets you know, like, Okay, I didn't like the riding part.
- 23:27Speaker 2: It felt wrong to me. It's just like it's a
- 23:30Speaker 2: thing that like all the touristed, but my family wanted
- 23:32Speaker 2: to do this, so I said, okay, but it's okay.
- 23:35Speaker 2: But the animals themselves are so sweet. They're like when
- 23:39Speaker 2: you're hanging around with them, they're like they're so one
- 23:42Speaker 2: of them. I got a video of it on my Instagram.
- 23:44Speaker 2: She was just like eating a log. She kept chewing
- 23:48Speaker 2: on this log and I'm just hanging out with her
- 23:50Speaker 2: and I made this like video with me. I'm like,
- 23:52Speaker 2: she's eating a log. I don't know why she's eating
- 23:53Speaker 2: this log, but she's really sweet. But it wasn't. It
- 23:58Speaker 2: was it was a weird it's a weird relationship that
- 24:01Speaker 2: they have and then you wash them at the end
- 24:03Speaker 2: of the trip. Yeah, so you get them in the
- 24:04Speaker 2: they get in this pool, this big pond yep, and
- 24:07Speaker 2: you could just wash them and hang out with them,
- 24:08Speaker 2: and they like it that you do that. Yeah, so
- 24:10Speaker 2: it feels good to them and they're like thank you, well, no,
- 24:13Speaker 2: thank you for carrying me.
- 24:15Speaker 3: There's good in bads. Like I mean, elephants have been
- 24:17Speaker 3: used through history right in war, in logging and circuses
- 24:21Speaker 3: everything else. But now I would say in the last
- 24:23Speaker 3: twenty years, we're finally sort of waking up to say.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Hey, a lifetime of being on an elephant's back.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Like, you can see the deformities, you can see the
- 24:29Speaker 3: bed swords, you can see the hip displays or hip
- 24:31Speaker 3: issues from carrying people.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Yeah, they're carrying people. They're just not designed for it.
- 24:36Speaker 3: You know, they look you think they are when you
- 24:38Speaker 3: look at them, and you're like, what could have you know,
- 24:39Speaker 3: we're like an ant on that thing's back.
- 24:41Speaker 1: But it it's pretty hard on them.
- 24:43Speaker 3: And the hardest part is actually not you or I
- 24:45Speaker 3: or anybody riding them. It's walking on concrete. Because elephants
- 24:50Speaker 3: have these soft, padded feet, they're not designed for rock
- 24:53Speaker 3: hard grounds. So the impact of walking on pavement is
- 24:57Speaker 3: actually that compounding.
- 24:58Speaker 1: With added weight. That's what's actually so bad about the
- 25:01Speaker 1: heat of the camp.
- 25:02Speaker 2: The asphalt too, and their dogs, like dogs hate the
- 25:07Speaker 2: heat of asphalt.
- 25:07Speaker 1: It's horrible for them.
- 25:09Speaker 3: And the weirdest thing about an elephant foot if you
- 25:10Speaker 3: look at its anatomy, they're one of the few animals
- 25:12Speaker 3: that walk on their toes, so they don't have toes
- 25:15Speaker 3: splitting out like we do. They walk on top of
- 25:17Speaker 3: their toes so that, you know, imagine that compounding on
- 25:21Speaker 3: heat plus weight.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Close up. I guess it was weird.
- 25:26Speaker 2: It's a weird animal.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Isn't it cool that they thought that that's what a
- 25:30Speaker 2: cyclops was when they found.
- 25:31Speaker 1: The sea because the skull. Yeah, that's why they cyclops
- 25:34Speaker 1: were a real thing.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Dude, have you ever seen Have you ever been to
- 25:37Speaker 3: the Explorers Club in New York City? No, that's worth
- 25:39Speaker 3: a visit.
- 25:40Speaker 1: You would love it.
- 25:40Speaker 3: They have the Champawatt tiger there, like the most famous
- 25:43Speaker 3: man eating tigers.
- 25:44Speaker 2: That's the one that killed like four hundred and seventy
- 25:45Speaker 2: six people.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is that the number. I actually have it
- 25:49Speaker 1: on my YouTube and I don't remember the name.
- 25:51Speaker 2: More than four hundred people.
- 25:53Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 25:53Speaker 3: And then Jim Corbett went and shot it. Yeah, and
- 25:55Speaker 3: he almost named my son Corbett because I love that
- 25:57Speaker 3: story so much. But they have the only four tusk
- 26:01Speaker 3: elephant at the Explorers Club in New York City. WHOA,
- 26:04Speaker 3: I'm sure Jamie, you can find a picture of the skull.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Nobody knows why, total anomaly. Nobody's ever seen it. Nobody
- 26:10Speaker 3: knows why. I think it's the only one in existence,
- 26:12Speaker 3: and it literally has four tusks coming out of it.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Just a weird genetic thing.
- 26:16Speaker 1: I think, so like that display legged one we look like.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Because sometimes with elk, they'll get an injury when they're
- 26:22Speaker 2: young and then they'll get weird deformities of their their antlers.
- 26:26Speaker 3: But is that different because they shed their antlers every year,
- 26:29Speaker 3: so they grow back in weird ways.
- 26:31Speaker 1: That's a good question.
- 26:32Speaker 2: I think it's an injury to the skull, so an
- 26:36Speaker 2: injury to like the area where the antler is. Like
- 26:39Speaker 2: sometimes they just have one sword. Like there was a
- 26:43Speaker 2: ranch that in California that had this one elk that
- 26:46Speaker 2: was killing all the other elk because he didn't have
- 26:49Speaker 2: antlers the same way. Oh, they got a Jetti skull.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Where did you find that, Jamie.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Eleven, Big interesting things you can see there, Oh interesting, sure,
- 26:59Speaker 4: that's legit.
- 27:02Speaker 2: So this one elk had on one side he had
- 27:06Speaker 2: like normal antlers, but the other side he just had
- 27:08Speaker 2: a spear.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 27:09Speaker 2: And so he was just stabbing all these other elks
- 27:11Speaker 2: and was killing the other because this guy doing because
- 27:14Speaker 2: it wasn't like they're used to their antlers interlocking, of course,
- 27:17Speaker 2: and this is the thing. They get together and they clash,
- 27:19Speaker 2: of course, they try to impress the ladies.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well there he is.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Look at that, all the tusks. That's so weird, very weird.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Four and they're they're like weird. The way they're in
- 27:29Speaker 2: they're going towards each other's weird.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Which makes you realize it's a genetic deformity, right, because
- 27:34Speaker 3: it's not like this perfect symmetrical like nature made it.
- 27:37Speaker 3: It's it's just it's a mutation of some kind.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Well that was weird about jeans, right, Like things go
- 27:42Speaker 2: wonky all the time. Someone's born with an.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Extra arm, like okay, yeah, exactly.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Sometimes people are born with tails and you're like, ooh.
- 27:49Speaker 3: So weird dude. You You and I talked about Barbarussa
- 27:52Speaker 3: one time. The pigs that have those.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Crazy yeah, to go into their own skulls.
- 27:57Speaker 3: My buddy who's a vet, he just cut a horn
- 27:59Speaker 3: out of a sable antelope. It was growing into its
- 28:02Speaker 3: own skull.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Oh god, it's great. I have a video of it
- 28:05Speaker 1: on my Instagram, jam if you want to see it.
- 28:06Speaker 1: But it's it.
- 28:07Speaker 3: So it got an injury, so it killed part of
- 28:10Speaker 3: the horn. And you know, they're antelope, they're not deer,
- 28:12Speaker 3: so they don't shed their horns so they grow forever.
- 28:15Speaker 3: So this guy had this giant horn just circling back,
- 28:18Speaker 3: punching into its own skull. Can you imagine that? It
- 28:23Speaker 3: was gnarly.
- 28:24Speaker 2: The pigs are nuts though or whatever that animals called barbarusa.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Is it a pit it's technically a pity yeah.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a Indonesian warthog. Yeah.
- 28:32Speaker 2: But the way it goes into its own skull no
- 28:34Speaker 2: matter what, like it always happens.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have to fight and break them off,
- 28:38Speaker 3: and if they don't fight and break them off, they
- 28:40Speaker 3: just it's Nature's so weird, man.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is fucking crazy. They're so cool.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I wonder what those things taste like.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I bet they taste great. I think all the swine
- 28:49Speaker 1: tastes great.
- 28:50Speaker 2: M I had to have a lean of you, which
- 28:52Speaker 2: is not technically a swine, it's a peckery.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Uh huh. It wasn't that good? Not good? No, huh,
- 28:58Speaker 1: that's unfortunate.
- 28:59Speaker 2: It's odd. Yeah, yeah, it's like no, just not the best. Like, well,
- 29:03Speaker 2: you got to think of what they're eating, you know, for.
- 29:06Speaker 1: What I know about happenings, they eat garbage primarily.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's part of the problem, because that's
- 29:11Speaker 2: the case with bears, right. Like my friend Steve Ranella
- 29:17Speaker 2: cooked a bear steak or a bear ham on his
- 29:21Speaker 2: friend's smoker and he said to his friend, he said, hey,
- 29:25Speaker 2: you should probably clean that smoker. It smells like fish.
- 29:29Speaker 2: He goes, I've never cooked fish in that smoker once,
- 29:32Speaker 2: and it was just from the bear. The bear had
- 29:35Speaker 2: eaten so much fish that as he was smoking the bear,
- 29:38Speaker 2: all you could smell was fish.
- 29:40Speaker 1: That's disgusting. It's like eating a seagull.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Whoa, that's going right into his head.
- 29:44Speaker 1: That's the guy. Yeah, Oh that's nuts.
- 29:48Speaker 3: And it's yeah, he like cuts the horn off and
- 29:50Speaker 3: you can see because the horn is a living thing,
- 29:52Speaker 3: there's always that animal still alive barely, like they he
- 29:55Speaker 3: had millimeters of growth to go before it punched right
- 29:58Speaker 3: into his brain.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Crazy gnarly.
- 30:02Speaker 2: That's so gnarly. It's like digging in. Imagine that, like
- 30:06Speaker 2: every day, just a tiny little amount more is growing
- 30:10Speaker 2: into your brain.
- 30:11Speaker 3: It's got to be this constant pain where like it
- 30:14Speaker 3: just it just gets tiny bit worse all the time.
- 30:17Speaker 3: See how much into the skull it went like it
- 30:19Speaker 3: was right there. That's crazy, so gross. I thought you'd
- 30:22Speaker 3: like that.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I don't know if that says about me.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like that, but I don't know.
- 30:28Speaker 2: That is gnarly, man.
- 30:30Speaker 1: That poor dude.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Now he doesn't have any antlers yep or horns, right
- 30:34Speaker 2: is it technically horns horns?
- 30:35Speaker 1: Yeah, but he still got a brain so that helps
- 30:37Speaker 1: well carry on, bro.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Yeah, Nature's a motherfucker, dude.
- 30:42Speaker 1: It's crazy. Where's the thile scene?
- 30:44Speaker 2: Man?
- 30:45Speaker 1: What's going on? It's gone pretty cold? Yeah, I mean,
- 30:48Speaker 1: so I.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Was hoping you'd come in with new evidence.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I wish I was.
- 30:52Speaker 3: There's a group that I've I've been working with called
- 30:55Speaker 3: Mammal Watching, like if you heard a bird watching, and
- 30:57Speaker 3: they've been going into Western pop win pop when you guy,
- 31:00Speaker 3: which is as you know where I think there could
- 31:02Speaker 3: still be a tiny population, and so I'm working with them.
- 31:06Speaker 3: They're giving trail cameras out to guys. They're still hearing
- 31:08Speaker 3: legends here and there. But it's just I don't know,
- 31:11Speaker 3: it's it feels like the legends are getting fewer and
- 31:14Speaker 3: further between, like almost over generational time, it's disappearing, if
- 31:18Speaker 3: that makes sense.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Oh that's a bad sign.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:20Speaker 2: That means whatever's left is probably dying off right.
- 31:23Speaker 1: If at all. Yeah, And I mean I still hold
- 31:25Speaker 1: out hope.
- 31:25Speaker 3: It's something I've always wanted to be and I'm like,
- 31:28Speaker 3: I want it to be there, But it just it
- 31:30Speaker 3: feels like those bits of evidence that were compounding have
- 31:34Speaker 3: all sort of started to fade.
- 31:36Speaker 2: That sucks, I know, really, so a very interesting thing
- 31:39Speaker 2: with the incredible variety of wildlife that we have, that
- 31:42Speaker 2: we're so fascinated by the ones that might not be alive.
- 31:46Speaker 2: This like the things like the Thilocene or the giant sloth. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 2: Like I remember I watched this documentary on the Giant Slough.
- 31:54Speaker 2: There was this one scientist as a biologist who it's
- 31:57Speaker 2: spent an inordinate amount of time, like years in the
- 32:01Speaker 2: Amazon looking for a giant sloth and was realizing at
- 32:04Speaker 2: some point in time during the documentary then he might have.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Ruined his career overdoing it.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Yes, he might have been chasing something that doesn't exist.
- 32:11Speaker 2: And it's this wild gamble if he listens to these
- 32:14Speaker 2: people and they're telling him the truth, right, because all
- 32:16Speaker 2: the natives are.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Like, oh, yeah, bro're out here.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, right around the next time, you'll
- 32:20Speaker 3: we'll find him tomorrow mountain. Yeah, I've been there. But
- 32:24Speaker 3: you know, if you don't follow those leads, like do
- 32:26Speaker 3: you know what the sala is? The Asian unicorn?
- 32:29Speaker 2: I've heard that.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Yeah, same thing, same story, but real animal.
- 32:33Speaker 3: And you know, there was there was basically one ever
- 32:35Speaker 3: seen by Western science, an animal named Martha. And for
- 32:39Speaker 3: years scientists, Western scientists were going into Vietnam and lass
- 32:42Speaker 3: They're going, yeah, yeah, we we have this thing called
- 32:43Speaker 3: the sala, the Asian unicorn, and they're like shut up,
- 32:46Speaker 3: you know, and then all of a sudden, turns out
- 32:48Speaker 3: here's this giant ovid that still exists.
- 32:50Speaker 2: What a cool looking animal too.
- 32:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and nobody knows whether they still exist now at
- 32:54Speaker 3: it right there?
- 32:55Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah.
- 32:56Speaker 3: So basically there's been three or four maybe more that
- 32:59Speaker 3: have ever been seen, most of them caught in poacher's
- 33:02Speaker 3: snares like this one. But then really cool, a guy
- 33:05Speaker 3: named Bill Robaschod got a call once from a prince
- 33:08Speaker 3: and he had caught one and it was in his
- 33:10Speaker 3: village and he flew in there and overnight the poor
- 33:13Speaker 3: thing died. And that was the only time a single
- 33:16Speaker 3: Western history has ever seen a live salah. And this
- 33:19Speaker 3: guy had it and then and then he's like, can
- 33:21Speaker 3: we please preserve it? And the king was like, now
- 33:22Speaker 3: we're going to eat it, and they ate it. Whoa
- 33:25Speaker 3: got nothing out of it? Yeah, he's got pictures and stuff,
- 33:28Speaker 3: so you know, it's all it's all real. But they
- 33:30Speaker 3: call it the unicorn because its horns are so symmetrical
- 33:33Speaker 3: that when you look at it from a side profile,
- 33:35Speaker 3: looks like one horn.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Yeah, they're very cool.
- 33:41Speaker 3: But it's a bovid. It's a it's a cattle. That's
- 33:44Speaker 3: that's not one. I don't know why they're using that photo.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Oh how odd.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the same thing as these you know,
- 33:51Speaker 3: these things around giant slots and and thilasine and bigfoot
- 33:54Speaker 3: and everything else. It's it's they are out there. You know,
- 33:57Speaker 3: some of them, not all of them, but they are
- 33:58Speaker 3: out there. And if you don't follow lead, if you
- 34:00Speaker 3: ignore it, then you miss things like that.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Well, it's also like when you think about things like
- 34:05Speaker 2: the Amazon, like if you ever see footage of the
- 34:08Speaker 2: Amazon from above, you.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Go, oh, there's no way, you know, that's so big.
- 34:13Speaker 2: You look down and you go, oh, well, well, there's
- 34:15Speaker 2: no way you know this is this is way too big.
- 34:17Speaker 2: There's no way. There's a bunch of people scouring every
- 34:21Speaker 2: inch of that place.
- 34:22Speaker 3: I mean, given there are still groups of human beings
- 34:24Speaker 3: uncontacted a lot.
- 34:26Speaker 2: My friend Paul Rosalie, yeah, yeah, he's come in contact
- 34:30Speaker 2: with them, yeah, multiple times. See if you can get
- 34:32Speaker 2: some aerial footage of flying over the Amazon. I mean,
- 34:36Speaker 2: it's it's in multiple countries. It's what is it.
- 34:39Speaker 1: It's crue Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina. It's so big, it's huge.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It's so fucking big.
- 34:48Speaker 3: And I had a similar experience in New Guinea talking
- 34:50Speaker 3: about Dioscene, where we got on a plane in a
- 34:52Speaker 3: place called two Fee and flew to another area.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Look at this, it was just like this. For four hours,
- 34:56Speaker 1: we didn't see one.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Building, Amazon and four K. So just like there is
- 35:01Speaker 2: no fucking way you know you know what's in there,
- 35:04Speaker 2: No way. There's probably a bunch of shit in there
- 35:06Speaker 2: that no one.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Has found, and then there's undeniably there are and then
- 35:11Speaker 3: there's stuff, you know, like you'll get a kick out
- 35:13Speaker 3: of this locknest monster?
- 35:15Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
- 35:17Speaker 2: Maybe a sturgeon or something like.
- 35:18Speaker 1: That, Jamie, What do you think a locknest monster is?
- 35:21Speaker 4: I mean, I think they know, but I don't know. Uh, probably,
- 35:24Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Whale dick what whale dick?
- 35:27Speaker 2: Whale dick, whale dick.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Pull it up, locknest monster versus whale dick. Look at
- 35:33Speaker 3: this and tell me this isn't what they think is
- 35:34Speaker 3: the lock Yeah, wait a minute, do.
- 35:35Speaker 2: You mean like the photos that the hoax photo of
- 35:39Speaker 2: the one that's poking out of the water.
- 35:41Speaker 1: That one.
- 35:42Speaker 3: I mean, you'll see it in a second here, I think,
- 35:43Speaker 3: But there are these photos of a whales penis compared
- 35:47Speaker 3: to the locknest monster, And I mean, I that's certainly
- 35:51Speaker 3: not proof, but it kind of answers a lot of
- 35:54Speaker 3: Like that's a whale deck right there.
- 35:56Speaker 2: That is a whale dick but that photo I'm pretty sure.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Is a proven hoax. That one is.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that photo was like a guy like
- 36:05Speaker 2: made something out of wood and like floated it in
- 36:07Speaker 2: the water and took a picture. Is that what the
- 36:09Speaker 2: story behind that?
- 36:10Speaker 1: There's something along those lines.
- 36:12Speaker 2: No, locknest monster isn't a whale penis. Professor says, Oh, okay, Well,
- 36:16Speaker 2: if the internet professor says it, then a professor, Oh,
- 36:22Speaker 2: let's take him seriously. He's out there. If you the
- 36:25Speaker 2: type of professor that they call upon when they're trying
- 36:28Speaker 2: to figure out something's a whale dick, maybe, sir, would.
- 36:31Speaker 3: You please study these nine whale penis and tell us
- 36:34Speaker 3: your thoughts on this.
- 36:34Speaker 4: Maybe that's what happened to the It was his claim,
- 36:37Speaker 4: and then he said he was just like kind of
- 36:39Speaker 4: messing around.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Well I'm sticking with it. I like it. I like, well,
- 36:42Speaker 1: he's the guy that proposed it. Oh darn it.
- 36:46Speaker 2: I like his series walked back his salacious claim.
- 36:50Speaker 1: That's so funny.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Maybe that's the guy that was looking for the giant sloth.
- 36:54Speaker 2: He's like, I need a new angle. This giant sloth
- 36:57Speaker 2: thing did not pan out.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I like it.
- 37:00Speaker 2: If you're a guy looking for a giant sloth in
- 37:02Speaker 2: the Amazon, like where do you look? Like, good luck
- 37:05Speaker 2: finding it.
- 37:06Speaker 3: You have to find geographically isolated areas, you know, because
- 37:10Speaker 3: they're little pockets, right, if little pockets of Okay, people
- 37:13Speaker 3: aren't coming in here, animals aren't going out. There's a
- 37:16Speaker 3: big ring of mountains, there's whatever it happens to be.
- 37:20Speaker 3: I met a guy who said he guaranteed he knew,
- 37:23Speaker 3: you know, all these people like this, But I always
- 37:25Speaker 3: enjoy the story of it that there was this pocket
- 37:27Speaker 3: in Peru that was completely geographically isolated by the mountains,
- 37:31Speaker 3: and that's where they were. And the idea is that
- 37:33Speaker 3: these areas remain unchanged. Right, It's like an island basically
- 37:37Speaker 3: in the Amazon, like things just don't change because it's
- 37:40Speaker 3: so isolated from everything else.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Well, I think the idea also was that giant sloths,
- 37:45Speaker 2: where we know they existed in North America, that whenever
- 37:51Speaker 2: whatever happened that ended the ice age, the younger driest impact,
- 37:56Speaker 2: that it didn't affect things below the equator or the
- 37:59Speaker 2: equator was more of a northern hemisphere thing.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Yeah, because the climate shift was so much stronger.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Exactly, and so the most of the animals that died off.
- 38:08Speaker 2: If you look at like the this, I think it
- 38:10Speaker 2: was sixty five percent of North American megafauna died off
- 38:13Speaker 2: during this very short window. That that didn't happen right
- 38:17Speaker 2: in South America, right, and that we're just guessing that
- 38:20Speaker 2: they're dead because if there was a healthy popul Like, think,
- 38:24Speaker 2: how many tigers are there in the wild. I think
- 38:26Speaker 2: there's five.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Thousand something like that. Yeah, it's gone way up, by
- 38:30Speaker 3: the way. It was down at four hundred.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Fun fact, more tigers in captivity in Texas, I know
- 38:35Speaker 2: than there aren't all of the wild of the.
- 38:37Speaker 1: World's Texas, crazy man.
- 38:42Speaker 2: A lot of people's yards in private collections in Texas,
- 38:46Speaker 2: there's more tigers than all of the wild of the world.
- 38:50Speaker 1: It's such an insane statement that should not exist. Yeah,
- 38:53Speaker 1: I love this date. It's my favorite place. Get away
- 38:56Speaker 1: with it.
- 38:57Speaker 2: It's just a wild place, like for all intentsive purposes.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hilarious wild for people, dude. I love Texas.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Every time I come to Texas, I'm like, this place
- 39:06Speaker 3: is great. It's always fun. Everybody's so nice too, exactly.
- 39:10Speaker 3: That's the best part. It's like nobody scowls at you
- 39:12Speaker 3: you're getting the elevator and they're like, hey, how's your
- 39:14Speaker 3: day going, And you're.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Like very friendly, I'll tell you how it's going.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Very a lot of people, especially coastal elites, it's like
- 39:23Speaker 2: to say, like people coastal snobs. They have this idea
- 39:27Speaker 2: of it being like filled with rednecks and ignorant people
- 39:30Speaker 2: and foolish people. It's yeah, not that away at all,
- 39:33Speaker 2: especially Austin. Austin is like one of the most like liberal,
- 39:37Speaker 2: easy going, progressive cities. Yeah, but like even the progressives
- 39:42Speaker 2: here they're like more reasonable.
- 39:44Speaker 1: It's like down to earth. Yeah, it's not like extremism, right.
- 39:47Speaker 2: Well, they they're definitely more crazy than they were twenty
- 39:50Speaker 2: years ago when I first started coming here. Okay, but
- 39:52Speaker 2: way less crazy than like liberals in La yeah, or
- 39:55Speaker 2: liberals and cow or liberals in New York.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Just where they're where it's just extreme right protest.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Well, it's like this, there's a saying about Austin. Keep
- 40:05Speaker 2: Austin weird and surrounded and surrounded.
- 40:09Speaker 1: What is the surrounded.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Surrounded by red people? Like it's all red states around you,
- 40:14Speaker 2: and this is pocket of blue that's in the center
- 40:16Speaker 2: of this red state. I think that's good for everybody.
- 40:21Speaker 2: I think that's good. It's a balance. And the like
- 40:24Speaker 2: the liberals that want to turn Texas blue, like, don't
- 40:28Speaker 2: you're going to ruin it. You're going to ruin it
- 40:30Speaker 2: for you too. You don't get it, Like balance is important.
- 40:34Speaker 2: It's like you can't kill all the predators because then
- 40:37Speaker 2: the deer will get overrun and you're hitting them with cars.
- 40:40Speaker 2: And you can't kill all the deer because then there's
- 40:43Speaker 2: no food. And I mean that's what they did when
- 40:46Speaker 2: they are market hunting balance, and you need balance with
- 40:49Speaker 2: humans too, and the Austin balance is a great balance.
- 40:53Speaker 2: It's a liberal city surrounded by like hardcore Republicans with
- 40:57Speaker 2: guns and tigers.
- 40:58Speaker 1: And it works, and it all work. It works. It
- 41:01Speaker 1: makes for nice people.
- 41:03Speaker 2: It's like it's a good mix and a misunderstood mix.
- 41:07Speaker 1: It's interesting. On the outside.
- 41:09Speaker 2: They have a very distorted perception of what Texas is,
- 41:14Speaker 2: especially Austin.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Yeah, well, how do you feel as a California I
- 41:17Speaker 3: mean you've bounced around, but as a California transplant? Did
- 41:20Speaker 3: you bring your sigeballs and you're you know, you're like
- 41:22Speaker 3: I need all that California stuff here?
- 41:24Speaker 2: What stuff I don't know.
- 41:25Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that.
- 41:26Speaker 3: That's like that's the thing though, right, it's like all
- 41:28Speaker 3: the Californians coming here and messing it up kind of thing.
- 41:31Speaker 1: I was never one of those.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Yeah, So my what I got out of California was
- 41:35Speaker 2: the comedy store and work and then jiu jitsu. So
- 41:39Speaker 2: like you get all that here. Austin is arguably the
- 41:42Speaker 2: jiu jitsu capital of the world right now.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Really? Oh yeah, Oh that's interesting. Is this where the
- 41:45Speaker 1: new League is based out of?
- 41:47Speaker 2: No, that's you mean the UFC League. Yeah, No, that's
- 41:51Speaker 2: in Vegas. They do that in Vegas because that's where
- 41:53Speaker 2: the UFC's headquarters are. But Austin has King's World, which
- 41:58Speaker 2: is Gordon Ryan's play. It's got b Team is out here,
- 42:02Speaker 2: shan Jibra Hibbero's out here. There's a bunch of grazy
- 42:07Speaker 2: Baja schools out here. There's multiple tenth Planet schools out here.
- 42:11Speaker 2: It's like there's an incredible amount of jiu jitsu out here.
- 42:14Speaker 3: So what I'm hearing is this is where to bring
- 42:16Speaker 3: run Nation, bring it to Autumn.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Don't eat that. They'll never win.
- 42:21Speaker 2: The only people are gonna win are those wild New
- 42:23Speaker 2: Zealand dudes.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Those Australia guys, those guys will win every time.
- 42:27Speaker 2: They're built for that shit. But it's uh, it's just
- 42:31Speaker 2: a great city period. Artistically, it's always been like a
- 42:34Speaker 2: great music city. Now it's arguably the comedy capital of
- 42:37Speaker 2: the country.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's so many comedians here now right.
- 42:41Speaker 2: It's because they've got here and they went, oh, this
- 42:43Speaker 2: is way better. There's no traffic, everyone's nice, yeah, and
- 42:46Speaker 2: you can do whatever you want. And also there's a
- 42:48Speaker 2: lot of places to do comedy and yeah, just on
- 42:51Speaker 2: my street where my club is, there's five or six
- 42:54Speaker 2: other clubs that have opened up since we opened up.
- 42:56Speaker 1: Oh wow. So it's incredible.
- 42:57Speaker 2: So if you're a young comic and or an established
- 43:00Speaker 2: comics that just wants to work out material, you could
- 43:02Speaker 2: go go to my club, you hop down a street
- 43:05Speaker 2: to the Sunset Room, which is my friend Brian's club
- 43:07Speaker 2: right down the street, and you can go down the
- 43:09Speaker 2: street to the Creek in the Cave, an amazing club
- 43:11Speaker 2: that's just two seconds away.
- 43:13Speaker 1: It's like one.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Block over, Like everything's close. The Vulcan which is right there,
- 43:17Speaker 2: everything's right there.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Huh. It's incredible. It's incredible. It's great. I'm glad you're
- 43:22Speaker 1: so stoked here.
- 43:23Speaker 3: I remember when the first maybe second time we hung
- 43:26Speaker 3: out down at your show in not Westlake, where was it,
- 43:29Speaker 3: Woodland Hills, right, and you were like, dude, I gotta
- 43:31Speaker 3: get out of here.
- 43:34Speaker 1: I wanted to get out a long time ago.
- 43:36Speaker 2: And fun fact, we started the podcast because I was
- 43:40Speaker 2: depressed because I had to move back from Colorado. Really
- 43:43Speaker 2: so I lived in Colorado for a little bit, but
- 43:45Speaker 2: my wife got pregnant, and when she was pregnant, it
- 43:48Speaker 2: was like, if you are an altitude, we're at eighty
- 43:51Speaker 2: five hundred feet level.
- 43:53Speaker 1: It's rough.
- 43:54Speaker 2: And we went back to La for a short period
- 43:56Speaker 2: of time and she was fine, yeah, and then we
- 43:58Speaker 2: went back to Colorado and she was sick again. I
- 44:01Speaker 2: was like okay, And then we were reading about low
- 44:03Speaker 2: birth weight, premature birth is a lot of like really
- 44:07Speaker 2: bad things that happened to people, especially if you're not acclimated.
- 44:10Speaker 2: So you move to these high altitude areas.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Huh.
- 44:14Speaker 2: By the way, working out there, when I worked out there,
- 44:18Speaker 2: I was I thought I was gonna die. And then
- 44:21Speaker 2: I went to Philadelphia and I had to do some
- 44:26Speaker 2: gigs in Philadelphia and I worked out and I felt
- 44:28Speaker 2: like I could run through a.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Wall wall you just had so much much I was like,
- 44:33Speaker 1: this is incredible.
- 44:34Speaker 2: It's the only time in my life I've ever been
- 44:36Speaker 2: altitude adjusted where my body had adapted.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like, there's as this is a
- 44:42Speaker 1: massive advantage. I wonder why fighters do.
- 44:44Speaker 3: It and you don't acclimate being up at that height
- 44:46Speaker 3: over months or anything else.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Oh I did.
- 44:48Speaker 2: I certainly did, like I could work out there and
- 44:50Speaker 2: I used to. I did jiu jitsu in Bolder, so
- 44:54Speaker 2: Boulder was I was in a place called Gold Hill,
- 44:57Speaker 2: which is eighty five hundred feet above sea level and
- 45:00Speaker 2: boulders like fifty five So I was doing shout out
- 45:03Speaker 2: to a mall Easton, my friend of mall. He was
- 45:05Speaker 2: a jiu jitsu gym in Boulder. Great place. And when
- 45:08Speaker 2: I was training there it was fine. I mean, you trained,
- 45:10Speaker 2: but you definitely could feel it. It was and I
- 45:12Speaker 2: had trained there once before when I had come from
- 45:15Speaker 2: LA and I was like, WHOA, this altitude is rough,
- 45:17Speaker 2: Like it's like working out in Denver. You're like, who
- 45:19Speaker 2: you feel it, but not like you feel it at
- 45:21Speaker 2: eighty five hundred feet eighty five hundred feet was I'd
- 45:23Speaker 2: do this these kettlebell workouts, and I was doing it
- 45:27Speaker 2: and I'm used to what it does, like I'm used
- 45:30Speaker 2: to be, and I was like, this is crazy. This
- 45:32Speaker 2: feels like I'm drunk, Like I found you.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Just had nothing.
- 45:36Speaker 2: It really felt like I drank a bottle of whiskey
- 45:38Speaker 2: and tried to work out. I was so tired.
- 45:40Speaker 3: I went to the Himalayas like maybe four or five
- 45:42Speaker 3: years ago to look for red pandas up in the trees,
- 45:44Speaker 3: you know, those cute little guys. And day one, I
- 45:48Speaker 3: literally maybe made it four hundred feet and then had
- 45:51Speaker 3: to sit down. And I was like, all right, we're
- 45:53Speaker 3: trekking for pandas. We're heading up into the mountains. We'll
- 45:55Speaker 3: find these pandas. And I just I don't remember what
- 45:57Speaker 3: the elevation was, but I'd come from Santa Barbara where
- 46:00Speaker 3: I live, which is sea level, to the high Himalayas,
- 46:03Speaker 3: and I had to sit down like every fifteen minutes
- 46:06Speaker 3: the first couple of days.
- 46:07Speaker 2: The most horrifying video the other day of this guy
- 46:11Speaker 2: who was on one of those summit hikes and slipped.
- 46:18Speaker 2: His friends watched him slide like all the way down
- 46:21Speaker 2: to just sliding down ice and snow and couldn't stop
- 46:26Speaker 2: and couldn't and they just had to stand there.
- 46:29Speaker 1: And watch this guy slide away. What can you do? Nothing?
- 46:32Speaker 1: That's so crazy.
- 46:34Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was trying. He was making it to
- 46:36Speaker 2: the summit and slipped, Yeah, and slipped off the you know,
- 46:41Speaker 2: just a very clear path and slipped off of it
- 46:43Speaker 2: and just start sliding and you realize, oh, he's gone.
- 46:47Speaker 1: That's it. He's going to go off forever. That's crazy. Oh,
- 46:51Speaker 1: it's horrible.
- 46:52Speaker 3: I always want to like take my kids to do
- 46:53Speaker 3: these things with me, you know, And I'm like, I
- 46:55Speaker 3: want to take them to track and see the mountains
- 46:57Speaker 3: and catch crocodiles and do all these various things that
- 46:59Speaker 3: I liked to do. And you realize it's like my
- 47:01Speaker 3: six year old can barely walk in a straight line
- 47:03Speaker 3: without falling down, you know what I mean, Like, imagine
- 47:06Speaker 3: taking him on a mountain track.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Oh, it's so scary.
- 47:08Speaker 2: But on the other hand, like you don't want to
- 47:11Speaker 2: protect them too much. You want to expose them to
- 47:13Speaker 2: a certain amount of danger because I think it's good
- 47:15Speaker 2: for them. Yeah, it's good for them to experience. It's
- 47:19Speaker 2: also good for them to have like a broader understanding
- 47:25Speaker 2: of what the world is, right, Like the world is
- 47:27Speaker 2: a bunch of different things, that's right. It's not just
- 47:29Speaker 2: Santa Monica, that's right. Yeah, Oh there's Costa Rica, Like whoa,
- 47:33Speaker 2: this is crazy. Get these bugs? These are nuts like birds,
- 47:36Speaker 2: Like there's it's nice. It's important, it is, yeah.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Because otherwise we live in a bubble. Like America's great.
- 47:43Speaker 3: I say this to my wife all the time. I'm
- 47:44Speaker 3: so patriotic. I love this country. It's great, but it's
- 47:48Speaker 3: a bubble. Everything's easy, it's safe. You can order shit
- 47:51Speaker 3: on your phone, it shows up at your house. You know,
- 47:52Speaker 3: there's a million restaurants to pick from. Obviously depends where
- 47:55Speaker 3: you live, but you get my point, yes, And then
- 47:57Speaker 3: you get out of here and it's like, okay, everything
- 47:59Speaker 3: closes at four pm, Like go figure out your food,
- 48:02Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And then you're like, okay, well,
- 48:03Speaker 3: now I have two kids who are hungry and we're
- 48:06Speaker 3: in the jungle or it's you know in a town
- 48:08Speaker 3: that everything shuts down on Sundays or whatever.
- 48:10Speaker 1: It's like, figure it out.
- 48:11Speaker 3: Those are important lessons for little kids to be dynamic
- 48:14Speaker 3: and figure out, like how the rest of the world works,
- 48:16Speaker 3: and that they have to figure out how to get
- 48:19Speaker 3: things when it's not old, just at the touch.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Of your you know, phone.
- 48:22Speaker 2: Also to recognize that there's going to be times where
- 48:24Speaker 2: you don't have food. Yeah, like, yeah, people are just
- 48:27Speaker 2: so accustomed to having food anytime they're hungry, and in fact,
- 48:30Speaker 2: sometimes when they're not even hungry, bored so they start
- 48:33Speaker 2: stuffing their face. Never existed in all of human history.
- 48:37Speaker 3: No, no, dude, I just read You might be well
- 48:40Speaker 3: read on this, but I just read something interesting, The
- 48:43Speaker 3: eight hour night of sleep.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Yes, invented by a mattress company. You know about those.
- 48:47Speaker 2: I didn't know it was invented by a mattress company,
- 48:49Speaker 2: but I do know that traditionally in the past.
- 48:52Speaker 1: People would do two sleeps. That's right.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this was Yeah, so you know about what
- 48:56Speaker 3: I'm talking about. I just read this literally yesterday and
- 48:58Speaker 3: one of my doomscrolling things.
- 48:59Speaker 2: But it's it's interesting because I did that a lot
- 49:02Speaker 2: when I was young, where I would wake up in
- 49:04Speaker 2: the middle of the night and I just decided to
- 49:06Speaker 2: watch TV, watch TV for a few hours, and then
- 49:09Speaker 2: I go back to sleep. But it was just for me.
- 49:11Speaker 2: It was just like being indulgent because I was single
- 49:14Speaker 2: and free and you know, twenty five years old and
- 49:17Speaker 2: I had my own apartment. I'm like, I do whatever
- 49:18Speaker 2: the fuck I want. Yeah, get up at three o'clock
- 49:20Speaker 2: in the morning and watch TV for a couple hours
- 49:22Speaker 2: and go to sleep till noon.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Why not sit around in your boxers, eat cereal? Yeah
- 49:26Speaker 1: a myth? Oh it is, Oh god, damn it everything.
- 49:29Speaker 1: I keep bringing up the myth.
- 49:32Speaker 4: The tailor of dreams all my stuff on the same
- 49:35Speaker 4: Instagram video. You guys saw it and I thought it
- 49:37Speaker 4: was interesting too.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the myth.
- 49:40Speaker 2: I think that might be a myth, But I think
- 49:42Speaker 2: the too, I think the too sleep thing it was
- 49:45Speaker 2: a way that people would get up in the middle
- 49:47Speaker 2: of the night. But you also have to think. I
- 49:49Speaker 2: think a lot of people went to bed way earlier because.
- 49:52Speaker 1: It got dark and we didn't have electricity.
- 49:55Speaker 2: And there's a normal circadian rhythm where people get it
- 49:58Speaker 2: gets dark out, you eat, maybe hang out in front
- 50:00Speaker 2: of a campfire for a little while, and then you
- 50:02Speaker 2: go to bed. Right If you've ever gone camping, that's
- 50:04Speaker 2: what most people do. Most people don't stay up till
- 50:07Speaker 2: four in the morning when you're camping.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Not without booze. There's nothing to do.
- 50:11Speaker 2: If you've got booze, you might be up late telling
- 50:14Speaker 2: stories and laughing. And if anybody breaks out a guitar
- 50:17Speaker 2: and you're fucked and you're up all night.
- 50:19Speaker 4: And you mentioned pandas, I was gonna ask about it
- 50:21Speaker 4: me and I'd just seen going around the same place
- 50:22Speaker 4: as that pandas are fake?
- 50:25Speaker 1: Did you see that zoo in China? A lot of
- 50:27Speaker 1: people talk about that.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Did you see the zoo in China that painted? They
- 50:31Speaker 3: say that?
- 50:32Speaker 2: But the thing is about pandas is that? And I
- 50:35Speaker 2: went down a rabbit hole this the other night. There
- 50:37Speaker 2: were no depictions of pandas in like ancient Chinese history. No, yeah, true, Yeah,
- 50:43Speaker 2: that's true. Yeah, they didn't show up until like god,
- 50:47Speaker 2: I want to say, it was like the sixteenth century
- 50:50Speaker 2: or seventeenth century.
- 50:52Speaker 1: That's bizarre.
- 50:52Speaker 3: I wonder why that is, because you know there were
- 50:54Speaker 3: explorers going through the area and all of that.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Well, the idea was that maybe they were engineered to
- 51:00Speaker 2: eat bamboo, because bamboo, if you think about it, is
- 51:03Speaker 2: like a very prolific print. Absolutely, like I have bamboo
- 51:06Speaker 2: on my property. That shit just grows like it's crazy,
- 51:08Speaker 2: how well it grows, grows.
- 51:09Speaker 1: So quickly, and there's almost no nutritional value in it either.
- 51:12Speaker 2: Right, yeah, so here's the panda interesting. The claim is
- 51:16Speaker 2: largely true with nuances. So was it what did you
- 51:20Speaker 2: search into perplexity our ai sponsor? Is it true that
- 51:24Speaker 2: pandas aren't in Chinese ancient history? The claim is largely true,
- 51:28Speaker 2: though with nuance. Okay, Giant pandas strikingly absent from China's
- 51:32Speaker 2: classical cultural record, unlike the dragon, which is weird. Tiger crane.
- 51:37Speaker 2: By the way, our conversation about it made it to
- 51:39Speaker 2: the view.
- 51:42Speaker 3: Texted you you changed your status to dragon believer.
- 51:45Speaker 1: It was so funny, joy be he believes in dragons, Like,
- 51:50Speaker 1: oh my god, this is wonderful.
- 51:53Speaker 2: This is so good.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Okay, so when did it happen?
- 51:57Speaker 2: Unlike the dragon, tiger crane or tortoise doesn't appear on
- 52:00Speaker 2: ancient bronzes or pottery in Tang poetry, song paintings, Huan
- 52:07Speaker 2: yu an, how do you say that? Yuan drama, ming novels,
- 52:12Speaker 2: or q i n g qing qing. Before the late
- 52:17Speaker 2: twentieth century, it had essentially no symbolic role in Chinese civilization.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Its status as a national treasure is a post nineteen
- 52:26Speaker 2: forty nine invention. After pandas became famous famous globally in
- 52:31Speaker 2: the twentieth century, Chinese scholars went back and combed old
- 52:34Speaker 2: texts looking for them. A few candidate references exist. The
- 52:39Speaker 2: shi Jing Book of Odes and shang Xu mentioned a
- 52:43Speaker 2: creature called Pi or Mo, which some modern scholars retroactively
- 52:47Speaker 2: identified as the panda, but the identification is contested, and
- 52:51Speaker 2: those same words were also used for.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Leopards, taper taper tape here.
- 52:58Speaker 2: Or mythical beasts. Emperor when of Han second century BCE
- 53:03Speaker 2: reportedly had a mo buried in his mother's tomb, sometimes
- 53:08Speaker 2: claimed as a panda.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Huh, but that's it's weird.
- 53:12Speaker 2: That is very bizarre, fragmentary, ambiguous and rare. Nothing like
- 53:16Speaker 2: the deep iconographic tradition around dragons, phoenixes or tigers.
- 53:21Speaker 3: Why the apps Rogan style claim.
- 53:25Speaker 2: I've never even said it before.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Fuck you, how dare you perplexity? That is so funny.
- 53:32Speaker 1: It's a Rogan style claim.
- 53:34Speaker 4: I think it is essentially on the podcast. Also, it's
- 53:37Speaker 4: listening right now because I sometimes they'll bring in questions
- 53:40Speaker 4: I've asked from like last month, and I be like
- 53:42Speaker 4: and I'm like, no, I didn't. This is a separate search,
- 53:45Speaker 4: but it's like all locked into the AI history.
- 53:47Speaker 2: Oh I. I asked it a question once and it said,
- 53:50Speaker 2: as you have previously stated, no way.
- 53:53Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA interesting.
- 53:55Speaker 2: I was trying to find out, like how many views
- 53:57Speaker 2: something had gotten. Yeah, and you're like, as you've previously
- 54:00Speaker 2: I told you, Yeah, you're using me as.
- 54:04Speaker 1: This is why AI is so fucked up, Like you're
- 54:07Speaker 1: trusting me, I'm trusting you don't trust me at all.
- 54:10Speaker 2: I get all my information from you.
- 54:14Speaker 1: Dude.
- 54:15Speaker 3: That's so weird because it was weird because it's not like,
- 54:18Speaker 3: you know, okay, there's no mention of ducks. I get
- 54:20Speaker 3: it because there's ducks everywhere. Who cares, right, Like, so
- 54:22Speaker 3: why do we write about them? But it's not something
- 54:24Speaker 3: like that. Kandas were never so abundant that it was
- 54:27Speaker 3: not worth talking about.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Yeah, see if where this theory? Who invented this theory
- 54:32Speaker 2: that they were engineered to eat bamboo?
- 54:35Speaker 1: So who did this engineering in this theory?
- 54:38Speaker 2: Well that's a question, like we did dogs right? Why
- 54:40Speaker 2: do we have dogs?
- 54:41Speaker 1: Right? Which is really weird? You know, why why I
- 54:44Speaker 1: have a dog.
- 54:45Speaker 2: He's a King Charles Cavalier, you know those adorable Yeah,
- 54:50Speaker 2: he's so cute.
- 54:51Speaker 1: I love him to death.
- 54:52Speaker 2: But he he's made appearance on the podcast. Oh nice,
- 54:56Speaker 2: he's uh the furthest thing from a wolf as far
- 55:00Speaker 2: as we've taken a wolf. Yeah, to make it so
- 55:02Speaker 2: fucking adorable and cute, but that is what it is.
- 55:06Speaker 1: Yeah, it was at.
- 55:07Speaker 2: One point in time a wolf, and somehow or another
- 55:09Speaker 2: we engineered it down to a dog that's adorable and
- 55:12Speaker 2: just wants to cuddle with you and sit in your
- 55:14Speaker 2: lap and play.
- 55:14Speaker 1: And weighs twenty five pounds.
- 55:16Speaker 2: So what happened? And how did we do that? And
- 55:18Speaker 2: could you do that with a bear? And could you
- 55:20Speaker 2: get a bear? Then take that bear and make it something.
- 55:24Speaker 2: I think it's the only bear that's a true herbivore
- 55:28Speaker 2: as well.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's correct. Yeah, which is all bear? Yeah?
- 55:31Speaker 2: Weird?
- 55:32Speaker 1: So what have we done?
- 55:33Speaker 2: Their digestive tract We've changed. Yeah, and they're required like
- 55:37Speaker 2: it's like koalas. I think they only eat eucalyptus, that's right, yep.
- 55:42Speaker 2: Fucking weird, bizarre.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Weird.
- 55:44Speaker 3: Also has no nutritional value and you probably know this
- 55:47Speaker 3: makes them like high. Basically I was looking up who
- 55:49Speaker 3: did it and started going on the thing that it's
- 55:51Speaker 3: not No one is known for the theory.
- 55:53Speaker 4: It's because they're actually carnivores.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Oh, they're at tax say so it's koalas I think
- 55:59Speaker 2: are the ones that are pure herbivores.
- 56:02Speaker 3: They definitely are. But they're not bears at all. They're marsupial.
- 56:04Speaker 1: They just bears. So then they say they are taxonomic carnivores.
- 56:09Speaker 3: That means taxonomically they're in the order Carnivora, if that
- 56:13Speaker 3: makes sense.
- 56:14Speaker 2: So, but it says with a short digestive tract and
- 56:16Speaker 2: gut microbiomes of a meat eater.
- 56:18Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's interesting, so the vegans. But you could
- 56:22Speaker 3: selectively breed for anything to some degree if you had
- 56:25Speaker 3: any time.
- 56:25Speaker 2: But look, but that's the other thing, like why are
- 56:27Speaker 2: they so cute that I think of that? Because there's
- 56:31Speaker 2: so much cuter than any other bear by far, like
- 56:33Speaker 2: that face even with the teeth out, like horrible buddy.
- 56:37Speaker 3: They also have the best pr campaign in history, Like
- 56:40Speaker 3: they're they're the dumbest.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Animals in the world. You know this, right?
- 56:43Speaker 2: Really?
- 56:44Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know if that's the right terminology.
- 56:46Speaker 3: But like you can hand a panda and apple and
- 56:49Speaker 3: it will hand you its baby.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I'm not joking, dude. You can find videos of this. Well,
- 56:54Speaker 1: isn't that.
- 56:55Speaker 2: More evidence that it's raised that it's been engineered because
- 56:58Speaker 2: it doesn't have the instincts that a wild animal would have.
- 57:01Speaker 3: Dude, their parental instincts are bonkers, bonkers, Like they will
- 57:05Speaker 3: drop their baby and go for an apple.
- 57:07Speaker 1: That's how zoo keepers take their babies away.
- 57:09Speaker 3: It's dude, it's like these guys are trying to go extinct.
- 57:13Speaker 1: I swear to God, it's insane.
- 57:14Speaker 2: So where did the theory come from? See if you
- 57:17Speaker 2: can find out where the theory came from that they
- 57:19Speaker 2: were engineered to eat bamboo.
- 57:21Speaker 4: That's why I asked that exact question. It says, it's just.
- 57:24Speaker 2: Well, just starts showing up on my Instagram about three
- 57:26Speaker 2: months ago.
- 57:27Speaker 3: Huh did Instagram? You never know what you're gonna.
- 57:30Speaker 2: Get, of course, but that's what's fun. Yeah, as long
- 57:33Speaker 2: as you don't buy into it, dude.
- 57:35Speaker 3: The problem is even like me and what I do
- 57:37Speaker 3: as a biologist, I can I mean, i'd say ninety percent.
- 57:41Speaker 1: I can tell, but there's a ten percent where I.
- 57:43Speaker 3: Can't tell if it's AI or real or and I'm
- 57:46Speaker 3: looking at it going, well, that behavior is wrong, so
- 57:48Speaker 3: it has to be AI. But it's crazy what's going
- 57:51Speaker 3: on in like the animal space with the AI mockups.
- 57:54Speaker 2: Now, I watched one today where it was a will
- 57:58Speaker 2: to be so a leopard had jumped on its back,
- 58:00Speaker 2: and the wilde bees jumped into the water, and the
- 58:03Speaker 2: crocodiles killed the leopard on its back, and then the
- 58:06Speaker 2: wilde beest got away.
- 58:07Speaker 1: Totally fake, it sounds fake.
- 58:11Speaker 2: Wildebese is smart all of a sudden, so smart that
- 58:13Speaker 2: it figured out all I have to do is get
- 58:16Speaker 2: to those crocs and the crops Also, like you're gonna run,
- 58:20Speaker 2: I don't like, you're gonna give yourself more problems.
- 58:22Speaker 1: Right by going into the water.
- 58:24Speaker 2: Yeah, well, by the way, multiple crocodiles, So why wouldn't.
- 58:27Speaker 1: They just eat you too? They would they just killed
- 58:29Speaker 1: It would kill everybody everything if they wouldn't.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Both of you are compromised. It's not going to just
- 58:33Speaker 2: grab the leopard on your back. It's gonna grab you
- 58:35Speaker 2: too because you can't get away.
- 58:36Speaker 1: Anything they can get. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, but it
- 58:39Speaker 1: was also fun.
- 58:40Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly it's also get away a different video but here. Yeah,
- 58:45Speaker 4: so this is a that's the longer cut of the video,
- 58:49Speaker 4: but you can see by like the saturation of the
- 58:51Speaker 4: leopard and like the way the claws are kind of
- 58:54Speaker 4: like there's no claws.
- 58:56Speaker 1: It's almost like soft pawing it, you know what I mean,
- 58:58Speaker 1: right right, Look how he's hanging on.
- 59:00Speaker 4: This could be a video of a real wheel to
- 59:01Speaker 4: be getting need by a croc and it just added
- 59:03Speaker 4: the leopard to the back very well.
- 59:05Speaker 2: Pretty, It's pretty amazing. It looks perfect. Yeah, now bro,
- 59:10Speaker 2: that's real. Guys.
- 59:12Speaker 1: Stop, this is different.
- 59:14Speaker 2: This one's different because this one will also by the way,
- 59:18Speaker 2: the wildebeest is doing way too well in that struggle. Yes,
- 59:20Speaker 2: because when the crocodiles do get wildebeest, they get them quick.
- 59:23Speaker 4: Forgot them. This one.
- 59:24Speaker 1: Someone put some time into this.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Yeah, when the crocks get a hold of something, it's
- 59:30Speaker 2: really it's a wrap, dude.
- 59:31Speaker 1: I just so much of a struggle I just did.
- 59:33Speaker 3: I'm probably not supposed to talk about this yet, but
- 59:35Speaker 3: I just did this show for Discovery that I've been
- 59:37Speaker 3: working on for a couple of years, where basically I
- 59:40Speaker 3: put myself in the perspective of prey. So I would
- 59:43Speaker 3: have been in the perspective of that wildebeest through engineering
- 59:46Speaker 3: and doing all these like builds and stuff like that,
- 59:48Speaker 3: and I lowered myself into a pond of crocodiles. It
- 59:52Speaker 3: was insane. I had a cage around me, so a
- 59:55Speaker 3: very small cage. It was basically a coffin.
- 59:57Speaker 1: May matter what though, what's the cage made? Whatever? The
- 59:59Speaker 1: guy's in the world workshop could find I think steel.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: Did we try it out first?
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: No, I mean we tested it with nothing in it,
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: and we're like, okay, this is working. I could send
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: it to Jamie iv it on my phone, but it
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: was okay, it was not do that.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, Well it's like those shark cages. Man,
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: those things don't hold up. You've seen that before. Oh yeah,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: where they go straight through the shark cage.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it's craziness. It's absolute craziness. I'll find here we go, dude,
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: we did. I don't know why I did. Oh you
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: know what, Jamie, go on the if you don't mind
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: going the Discovery Instagram. I think it's there. Good good
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: luck finding it. I can send you something in the meantime.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: But I think they posted like a short teaser of it.
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: It was nuts, though. So I'm in this little cage.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: We rigged up these cables.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Do you wearing scuba gear or so?
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: I had a scuba tank with me in case the
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: thing broke and I ended up on the bottom.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Sounds dumber, outline? Do you have so much oxygen before
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: they can get Yeah? Forty minutes minutes before ye, dude.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: And I was talking to our guy, so you know
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: TV production, So there's like stunt coordinators and all this stuff.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: And I was like, so, okay, cable snaps. I go down,
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: I grab the regulator. I've got thirty minutes, forty minutes
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: in my tank. Then what He's like, Oh, I have
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: this grappling hook. We'll throw it, hook it with the
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: grappling hook and pull it out. I'm like, bro, what
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: if you hit a log? He's like, hmm, I hadn't
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: thought about that. I'm like, how you getting me out
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: of here?
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: That's not only that that easily could take more.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: Than thirty of course you can take more than thirty, so.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: You might have to get out and swim. I could
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: can you get out?
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: I couldn't.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: I locked myself into the cage. There was no getting out.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Did this. Yeah, it was pretty dumb. It was fun.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: It was cool though, because it was such a unique perspective.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: But I told my wife when I got home from
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: that one, I was like, yeah, I think this is
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: my last year of doing this shit. It's getting too
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: too much.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: That's the thing about those kind of shows. It's like
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: it's not enough to just see the animals. You have
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: to do something that makes it spectacular enough get people
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: to tune in. Like that Polar Bear one where the
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: guy got in that big plexiglass.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: Box that literally inspired the whole series. I swear, yeah, I.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Hate that video. It's crazy. I mean I watched it
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: one hundred times.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: I know I don't hate it, but I hate the
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: idea of it because it just shows you how predatory
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: polar Bears are and how they don't give a fuck.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: It's just trying to get at that guy, isn't it crazy. Yeah,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: it's gary, I.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Mean, just actively hunting him. Yeah, it's so different than
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: the other bears, which like if you get killed by
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: a grizzly generally it's like you fucked up.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: Yeah, like you stumbled upon one.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: That's all startled or yeah, or you startled it or
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: you know, you zig when you should have zagged.
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: Have you seen the city in Russia, the abandoned island
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: city where the polar bears have taken over? No, oh,
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: you got to see this. It's incredible.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: I've seen videos of Russia of people like getting chased
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: by polar bears in their town.
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, there's like the one where the guy
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: jumps on the snowmobile runs after him and.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: It certainly gets away. There's a whole.
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: Area in the Bearing Sea that was I want to say,
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: a former mining town or maybe fishing town, and people
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: moved out because it collapsed for whatever reason.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: This place. Look at this, and the polar bears have
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: just moved into town. Oh, they live in the house.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: They're living in the house. Look at this.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: They're just like they took it over as a den,
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: completely took it over.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Ah, that's amazing.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: They're just fully moved in, like living in the house.
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: That's a drone shop. But this is not AI. This
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: was legit.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: They're so cool looking. Oh, they're the coolest.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: They're so interesting.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: How amazing is that? Though?
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: Imagine like imagine you're out on a boat and you're like, oh, man,
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: we've been saying for three weeks.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Oh look, there's like a little village. Let's pop in
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: there for a day. Be a cool movie. Yeah, that
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: would be a good movie.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Yeah, a bunch of people like, oh, we found a village.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Let's go there.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: You like head in and turn, you know, like set
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: up in the and then all of a sudden you're surrounded.
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all polar bear. You're like, why is there
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: so much shit in this house? Because they probably just
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: shit right in the house. So they're pawn at the drones. Yeah, wow,
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: look how cool. They're hanging out the window like, Hey, Tom.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: I'm on over, have a drink.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: You could put me in the glass box on this island.
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: This looks so cool.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: It is so cool. They're an amazing animal, they really
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: are are. But they're they're so weird. They're so long too.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: I went and did a sort of a trek with them.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: Which where they getting food on that island? If they're
- 1:04:09Speaker 4: the only ones.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: There, Oh, well, they're the only ones there, but it's not.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: They're steels all kinds of other ship.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: They'll be hunting all the marine mammals in the area.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're the cleanup crew.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: And they swim huge distances. Oh yeah, a couple of
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: turned up in Iceland.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Did you know that?
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: What?
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I think two or three cases of polar
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: bears that have swum from Greenland to Iceland and as
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: far as that, I'm not sure, but it's not close.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: Obnestly took the Vikings like one hundred years ago. Yeah,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: that's crazy.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and they swim that far.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Hundred miles? Are you hopefully this isn't a myth? Are you?
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: Skin One says it was shot dead after it did
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: it in.
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: Eight Yeah, and it swam across right, Yeah, I get
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: offered one hundred miles.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: How crazy is that?
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: Just take a swim one day and end up colonizing
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: an entirely new place.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: So it's like the David Gog of polar bears. Bro,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: I can make it feel no pain. Operation to kill
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: the animals captured on film. Let's fucking gold video might not.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: Let's fucking go.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Let's see that video.
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: I got it air.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: Yeah, but isn't that craze? Two hundred miles swim as
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: a bear?
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: This says it might have well jumped off with just
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: a piece of ice somewhere, So it could have you
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: got a little float, right, it could have hung out
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: for a little bit, sure, but still even fifty miles
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: that's pretty far.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: Well, they can last so long with the fat that's
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: on their body.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: And they like snooze float. Have you seen that?
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: They like they won't just like actively swim, they'll like
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: kind of like snooze float in between hunting.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: It's kind of amazing.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: In the winter they have so much fat, you know that?
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: Or yeah, in the winter stored up getting ready to
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: chill because they.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Don't eat as much during the summer. Am I getting
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: this right?
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: I think so that they they like, yeah, you see
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: like snooze floating in the ocean.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: Well, they eat a lot in the summer to get
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: ready for the winter, right.
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: Uh, their metallic I know they eat a lot in midsummer.
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: They don't eat a lot. It's too hot for them
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: to actively hunt.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Oh I know that.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: How hot? Is it too hot for them to actively.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: I went to Manitoba, Canada to go see them on
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: foot and it was like seventy five degrees at the
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: height of the day, maybe seventy And yeah, they wouldn't
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: be hunting polar bears.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: Were frequently tamed during the Middle Ages. What this is
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: snow bear has been captured alive in Iceland, but since then,
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: receding North Pole Ice is diminishing their hunting and mating
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: grounds and jeopardizing their survival holdest.
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: Sighting in Iceland was eight ninety whoa sixteen years after
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: the first people got there.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: But what's crazy if you wow?
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: What's crazy if you think about that is all it
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: would take if people weren't. There is two polar bears
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: over the course of polar bear's lifetime to wash up
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: on the island, and then you have a population of
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: polar bears there right, do you know what I mean?
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: The male swim's there. Five years later, the female swim's there. Boom,
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: there's a population of There's plenty of food.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: You know what an adventurous female would have to be.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Twelve fifty two, Henry the Third took delivery of a
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: white bear sent to him as a gift from King
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Hakkan the fourth of Norway. He decided to keep it
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: in the Tower of London. The bear was either too
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: big or too exciting to be taken to Oxfordshire, where
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: there had been a Royal Menagerie at Woodstock since Harry
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: Henry the first rain. What's more, it needed to fish,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: So the beast was sent to the tower, and from
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: what we could tell, it was well looked out for,
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: although it had a muzzle and a chained to wear
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: while on land. The Sheriffs of London were obliged to
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: lay out more than a shilling a week for its upkeep,
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: which added up over a year to roughly the expected
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: income of a night.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: What a wild story.
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: They had no guns to stop and what the hell
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: would you do to him?
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: Blows and arrows, I guess and spears. The bear had
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: a long swimming leash. The man wore waterproof clothes. What
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: the keepers had a keeper? The bear came to the
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Norwegian keeper and the keeper was allowed to lead fishing
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: trips into Thames. How do you say that Thames? Thames
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: which the tower sat. The men wore waterproof clothes. Again,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: build to the crown. The bear had a long swimming leash.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: There were salmon and the Thames in those days, So
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: while being in London was probably not half so pleasing,
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: the bear sitting on an ice flow in the Arctic
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: circle it sure beat working.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: The way this guy wrote this is hilarious, by the way, Yeah,
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: they do you know what sloth bear is?
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Yeah, mean as anything's there in Japan.
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: Right, India, India and into Nepal in that area.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: Amazing.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: They're like a perfect example of not the size of
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: the dog in the fight, but the fight and the
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: dog because they're not a very big bear, but they
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: will take on tigers and everything else. They a certain
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: group I don't know the name of them, tribe I
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: think in India used to capture sloth bears and they'd
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: put a ring in its nose, like a nose ring,
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: and then this barbaric it doesn't happen anymore. But then
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: they would take the bear onto the street as a
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: street performer. I just read about this, and they would
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: light a fire and put like a big sheet metal
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: over it and then walk the sloth bear onto it,
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: so the bear would dance because its feet were burning. Yeah,
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: and yeah, they call it the dancing bears.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: I guess it was in.
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: Nepaal and yeah, it a horrific thing that people used
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: to imagine doing that though, and being like, oh, this
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: will be worth a shilling or two, like well.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: Bear baiting. They used to do that with dogs. They
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: used to have a chained up bear and they allow
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: dogs to fight the bear.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: They did that with bulls. Yeah, you know they have
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: a chained up bull and have dogs attack the bull.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: They used in South Africa in the early colonial days.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: They used to do with baboons and let the dogs
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: and the baboons fight and bet money on it.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Yeah. People are so gross crazy.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: But you know, like I always have this weird stance.
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: Do I agree with any of it?
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Of course not.
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: But we wouldn't be where we or and care about
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: wildlife and conservation if we hadn't made some of those mistakes.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: Is that what that is a mistake? I mean it's
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: also if you hadn't seen half of your friends get
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: cut in half by swords, you're probably your understanding of
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: the value of life is probably completely distorted.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Completely.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you're living in a horrific time. Everyone's dying of
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: the plague.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Violence is entertainment, right, you know what I mean?
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: Like that is something to do, and life value is
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: incredibly low, right, Life comes and goes.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: The Colosseum was when when was that?
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: I don't know I should, but I don't.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: I think it was two thousand plus years ago somewhere
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: around there when they first started having these crazy games there.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: Do you know? They used to flood the Colosseum and
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: do ship battles.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: And I went there a few years back and we
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: went on a tour.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Is it cool? Oh?
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: It was amazing.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: But it's also like you stand there and let you
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: try to take it in. Like when I go to
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: these ancient places, I try to just like sit and
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: just try to imagine, like when you're actually it's one
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: thing to imagine when you're looking at a photograph or
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: a video, but when you're at in the spot, you know,
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: like when you're in Athens and you're like, yeah, standing
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: at the Parthenon and okay.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: What the fuck was this?
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: Like?
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: Yeah, what was this like?
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: And that was like the center of everything everything democracy exactly, yeah, exactly.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: And also drugs. Those guys were high as fuck. They
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: were all doing drugs. We went to Ulysses Lusis Eleusis
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: rather and uh, that's the place where they had the
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Elusinian mystery schools and the people would go on this
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: trek where they wouldn't eat and they would walk from
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Athens and they would have these psychedelic rituals and you
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: know you're in this place where they did it, you
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: could like feel it.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: It's weird.
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: Well, I mean obviously not synthetic, but were they were
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: it just mushrooms?
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: What wereychedelics?
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: Totally no, But they have had a residue from some
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: of these clay pots that had ergot in it. So
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: ergot is a fungus that has a very similar psychoactive
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: effect as LSD.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Oh. Interesting, it's uh.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: I think it has lysergic acid in it. Like what,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: let's find out what the what?
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: What?
- 1:12:04Speaker 6: What?
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: Actually it also kills people. There's been cases of ergot
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: poisoning through wheat.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: Interesting, people have died.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: And they also think it's connected to the Salem witch trials.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Oh driving people crazy? Yes, so the Salem witch trials.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: I don't know if this has been proven, if this
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: is just a theory, but the idea is that if
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: you have an early frost and that some of the
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: wheat survives, but the wheat can have this fungus on
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: it that grows ergot. So this ergot fungus and so
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: you're eating this wheat and you're making beer out of it.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: And like everybody's tripping balls. I think a fucking witch.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: On accidental acid. That's hilarious.
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, Like, man, this beer is really good, right
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: until there's a witch and then you're like, man, this
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: beer is bad.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: Well there's also I mean, imagine, first of all, you've
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: got a bunch of crazy superstitions and people are afraid
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: of everything. Already you don't know anything about science, you
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: understand it, So this lot of fears, and then there's
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: a lot of people that claim to be the wise
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: people of the of the town and they tell you
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: crazy stories about witches and you're like, oh, which is
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: a real Oh for sure. So lysurgic acid, amides, ergometrine,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: all these share lysergic acid, ergoline core, which is why
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: LSD semi synthesized from lysergic acid, is chemically related to
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: ergot compounds.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: And all of this comes from that mold on the wee.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: That'sn't there a time where they they did it to
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: people on purpose in France. I feel like this might
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: have been like a CIA thing. See if you can
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: find that story ergot. I think they they they put
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: because I think they were experimenting on the effects of
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Ergot and I think they like picked a town and said,
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: let's see, because we know they've done that before. We
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: definitely know they've.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: Just hit the whole place is let's see, let's see. Yeah,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: why not?
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Like we think about like what we found out during
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: MK Ultra that the CIA was running brothels and they
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: would give the Johns lsd really it was literally called
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: Operation Midnight Climax. And so what they would do is
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: they would have these two way mirrors set up. This
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: is proven this guy named Jolly West, who was the
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: head of the MK Ultra. Who would they say, let's
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: find out what happens. Do you get people ascid? What's
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: the best way? Well, you get a bunch of people
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: and do it to them in a way that you
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: know totally unethically. But this is the way. They're not
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: gonna tell you did it to them because they went
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: to a whorehouse. Like, no one's gonna admit they went
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: to a whorehouse. Right, So you get these guys, they
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: go to the get to prostitute. The prostitutes like could
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: you like a drink?
- 1:14:40Speaker 5: Like?
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: Oh I love it? Of course, hard hard dad work.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Here the guy sits down, he's thinking I'm gonna fuck.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: This is gonna be great.
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: Next wall Candles talking to him. Do you find anything
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: about the French thing.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Here? It is?
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: I likely think of the famous Saint Esprie Cursed bread
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: incident of nineteen fifty one, long running allegation that wasn't
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: ergot at all but a secret CIA US Army LSD experiment.
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: What happened in Saint Esprie, this small town in southern France.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: Hundreds of residents suddenly suffered violent hallucinations, convulsions, insomnia, and
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: psychotic episodes. Over several days, two hundred and fifty people
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: were affected, fifty were committed to asylums. Seven died, including
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: some who leapt from windows convinced they could fly, or
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: being chased by snakes and tigers. The official French investigation
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: blamed ergot contaminated rye flower from a local baker, classic ergotism.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Saint Anthony's fire. That's another case of it. Some later scientists,
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: or maybe the same story. Some later scientists proposed alternative
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: culprits mercury, fungicide, nitrogen trichloride, bread bleaching agents or micotoxins
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: from Aspergillus fumigatis I.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: Call bullshit on this.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: This seems like something where they test. Yeah, it seems
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: like a CIA. Two thousand and nine, American investigative journalist
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: HP Albarrea Alborelli Alborelli Junior published a Terrible Mistake arguing
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: that Pont Saint espri was actually a covert LSD field
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: test run jointly by CIA's mk YEA mk Ultra programs
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: and the US Army Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick,
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: with Swiss drug company Sandos, who first synthesized LSD, allegedly
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: supplying the compound. So His evidence included a declassified CIA
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: document quoting a Sandos representative saying the Pont Saint Esprie
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: secret is being discussed, alongside references to LSD. Oh, they
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: definitely did it.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds way more likely. That's way more likely.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: A testimony he attributed former CIA SOOD scientist Frank Olson,
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: who died in a nineteen fifty three fall from a
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: New York City hotel room after being dosed with LSD
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: by his colleagues.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: Put your assholes serious, guys just dosed.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: At each other, it admitted an mk ULTRA incident. Interviews
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: with the former US intelligence officials why most historians remained skeptical.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: Serious pushback came quickly, so symptoms don't match LSD. Victims
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: had gangreen like vaso constriction, weeks long psychosis, and physical
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: necrosis consistent with ergot alkaloids, not a single acute LSD dose. Interesting.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: LSD is water soluble and heat sensitive, so baking bread
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: would degrade it. The Sandos cable albre Albarelli cited is
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: ambiguous and predates the incident in some readings. No corroborating
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: documentation has surfaced, despite extensive mk ULTRA declassifications the nineteen
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: seventies Church Committee hearings. Yeah, but the problem with that is,
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: like one of the one of the reasons why we
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: know about mk Ultra was evidence that they found that
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: had been in storage. So you know, when you say,
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: like Freedom of Information Act, they don't give you shit.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: They just bait you with a little bit here and
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: there to go, oh okay, they'll.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: Just tell you we don't have any evidence, Go fuck yourself.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: I mean, look how hard it is to get the
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: Epstein files. This is a guy that was all live
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, right.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: Where there were plenty of records of everything's happening exactly
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: and the internet this right, this reminds me, do you
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: know about the lime disease? You know about this, like
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: the Plumb Island thing? Yeah, yeah, seems exactly sious. I like,
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist. This one to me
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: is like a no brainer.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: Well, it's also people want to say that lime disease
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: has existed forever, absolutely true, not to the extent that
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: it exists today. Also not as contaminant, like not not
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: as as right.
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: And like crazy crazy, crazy sweeping out west.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: Not only that Plumb Island, they were absolutely doing gain
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: of function research on tics and the idea was the
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: reason why they were doing it. And this is this
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: is all me what I've read. I don't have any
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: direct information.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still fun.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: But what they said was what they were doing was
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: engineering ticks with these diseases. So what they could do
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: is they could spray them from planes and they would
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: overwhelm the medical system of any like overwhelm a town
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: that overwhelm their armies. You couldn't keep up, and it
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: would they wouldn't be able to fight.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: And it could wipe out food sources. It had like
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: multiple implications. Exactly, yeah, exactly.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: So now we have these fucking creeps from the World
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: Economic Forum that are talking about the dangers of eating
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: meat right, and about how people eating meat is what's
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: wrong with them, that's why it's accelerating climate change. All horseshit.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: But they're saying it, and they're saying that he's almost
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: a moral obligation to create a tick, or to create
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: more ticks that would have this alpha gal in them.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: The one that makes you allergic to me. Yes, so
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: they're saying that they want more of that.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: Yes, the guy was talking about not only that, I
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: have a buddy who has it, My friend Evan from
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: Black Rifle Coffee, one of my best friends, love him
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: to death. Evan has it bad and it fucks him up.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: It's not as simple as you're he's allergic to red
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: meat like it fucks up all of his blood work
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: and his body's a mess.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: And he picked it up hiking and hiking got tick.
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: And he didn't know and he got he's got bit.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: My friend Burke Kresher, his wife's family, half of them
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: have this fucking problem. No way, Yeah, Tennessee, this uh
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: is the Texas lone Star tip. It's a lone Star tickets,
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: not the Texas Loan Star. But this one tick carries
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: this thing and they think that that might perhaps be
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: genetically engineered as well. It's crazy because there was no
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: alpha gal problem, no thirty forty years ago. It just
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: didn't exist. Now, all of a sudden, it's like ubiquitous.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: It's everywhere.
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: It's spreading too. It's yeah, it's crazy. I never used
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: to think twice about getting a tick. I get ticks
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: all the time, hiking around and doing the stuff I do.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: I never used to think twice about Now I'm terrified
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: of Yeah. I love meat, I'm terrified of it now.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: It's not just red meat. The lime disease is fucking
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: devastating early.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: It can fuck with you the rest of your life.
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: Uh huh. Yeah. I know multiple people that have it,
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: including Jim Miller, guy who fights in the UFC. He
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: really bad, jeez, and it fucked up his career for
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: quite a while. But he got his diet under wraps
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: and he figured out like what to eat, what not
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: to eat, and now he's fine.
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: Do you know about some of those other animal warfare
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: things they used to do, like the spy tech they
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: put in city cats.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: Do you know about this? No, Well, dude, there's some
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: amazing ones.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: Spy tech and cats.
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: So during World War Two, Jamie would have to con
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: from what city this was in. I believe it was
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: the Russians used to put little hearing devices in street
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: cats because the Brits would go and meet in back
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: alleys and have meetings, but there were feral cats everywhere,
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: so they'd have all these cats running around with these
- 1:22:14Speaker 3: wires in their brains and stuff, and.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: These little little, yeah, acoustic kitties. That's it. The CIA, dude,
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: how crazy is this?
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Acoustic kitty was an Essential Intelligence Agency project launched by
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: the Directorate of Science and Technology in the late nineteen sixties.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: In the nineteen sixties, SO tended to use cats to
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: spy on the Kremlin and the Soviet embassies.
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: In an hour long procedure of veterinary surgeon implanted a
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: microphone in the cat's ear canal and a small radio
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: transmitter at the base of its skull and a thin
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: wire into its firm.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: Oh my god, how crazy.
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: Imagine that You're just like having a secret meeting in
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: a back cove, you know, back alley and there's a
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: cat there just live streaming your conversation to the CIA.
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Go back up a little bit here, it says, do
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: the cat sense of hunger had to be a rest
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: in another operation? What interesting? First acoustic kitty mission was
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: an evedrop on two men in a park outside the
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: Soviet Embassy in Washington, d C. The cat was released nearby,
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: but was hit and allegedly killed by a taxi almost immediately.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: It was probably the thing was all fucked up.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: It probably couldn't get out.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: It's like, what is in my head? They put a
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: wire in my head?
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Schizophrenic cat?
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: How about?
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: This is disputed in twenty thirteen by Robert Wallace, a
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: former director of the Office of Technical Service, who said
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: the project was abandoned due to the difficulty of training
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: the cat to behave as required, and that the equipment
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: was taken out of the cat. The cat was resown
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: for a second time and lived for a long and
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: happy life afterwards.
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: Lies. Yeah, you fucking killed that cat. It got hit
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: by a taxi, But it was fine.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: But I mean more than one cat, I'm sure, But
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: but this idea, the equipment was taken out of the cat.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: The fuck you did that you you spent money on
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: taking the equipment out?
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: Did you really or did you just kill the cat?
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: One hundred assholes?
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: Dude, there's a few of these and the bats that
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: would light fires, you know about those ones?
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: Hold up?
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: The military did not give up on this use of
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: animals as spies. As the two thousand and six the
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: Pentagon requested a creation of a cyborg cyborg insects for
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: use in espionage.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: The request was made by fucking.
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: DARPA, of course, of the Pentagon scientists had cal Berkeley
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: responded by creating a controllable cyborg beetle in October of
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: two thousand and nine.
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: What's a there's a cockroach under your carpet here listening
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: to us somewhere right now.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: They're not going to hear anything other than the stuff
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: we already talked about.
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true. The wonderful thing about having such a
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: retarded show. Yeah, whoa, look at this, Look at this,
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: Look at this as a fucking battery, and the beetle
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: that come on, look at a microchip on its back.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: It's amazing that the beetle can live through all this.
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. That's why, old Wow.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: And then I guess as these things have gotten smaller
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: and smaller as shits and battery technologies and crew.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Of course, think think of your cell phone and O
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: nine compared to now.
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, fucking wild man.
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: Yeah, there were a few of these there. They used
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: to light bats on fire and then they'd send them
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: to roost and then they'd burn down whole towns and
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: things like that.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: That's going back.
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: Even, dude, there's spy pigeons where they put cameras, like,
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: there's a there's a handful of these that the.
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: CIA tried what they do with dolphins.
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: Oh, like the you know, the whole the not belugo.
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: What's Yeah, it was the beluga, the Russian spy whale.
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: I don't know that I was talking about dolphins. They
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: used to.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: Detonate things, Oh, tell me about it.
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: They used dolphins as like literal distributors of warheads. Oh really,
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: get a dolphin to go somewhere and then they blow
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: them up.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: No way like at a Kamakazi dolphin.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: I don't know the exact details of it, because I
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: got sad when I was reading about it. I have
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: a deep attachment to dolphins. I fucking love dolphins.
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: I always say anybody who hates dolphins has to be
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: a bad person.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: I've had some experiences with them. I had one where
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: I was like really high on edibles in Hawaii and
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: the dolphins would jump out of the water near the
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: boat and they look at you. Yeah, they look at
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: you when they were jumping out of the water, like
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: look look at me, Like, look, they're doing this thing.
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: And they're literally just playing.
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: They're playing, yeah, playing, because they came to the boat
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: and they were jumping in the wake of the boat,
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: and the more you would cheer and yay look.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: At that they.
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: Were doing that and they were having fun, And I
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: was like, these are incredible creatures.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: Oh, they totally pick up on your energy.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: So the Secret Dolphin Program began in nineteen fifty nine
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: detect underwater mines and enemy divers. But I think they
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: did stuff where they.
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: Mean whether this is correct or they just like the
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: one who's the history it says that they didn't do
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: anything to harm humans or engage in combat. They like
- 1:26:53Speaker 4: telled their handlers to do it.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: The one that I've heard that they had.
- 1:26:57Speaker 4: It was just signifying in dark water because they could
- 1:26:59Speaker 4: see stuff better than our current technology. Back then so
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: they would echo locate and say, yo, we got something
- 1:27:04Speaker 4: over here, come check it out.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: That's what this was.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: Well, how does the dolphin communicate that back to the people,
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: and how does it know what the person's intended? That's
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: pretty good. I think there was some speculation that they
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: actually used them as weapons, though.
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: Well have you seen not to transition off dolphins. But Vladimir, Vladimir,
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: the Vladimir, I don't know, the Russian spy beluga. No, okay,
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: this is a real thing, like like one hundred percent.
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: This one's real. So there was this beluga whale named
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: Valdimir Vladimir or something like that, and he turned up
- 1:27:39Speaker 3: in Norway, and he was escaped from a Russian spy program,
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: and he had a harness with spy gear on him.
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: This is him right here. Look see the spy gear
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: on him. It's like a whole thing. And so the
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: Russians had been training this whale as a spy and
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: had harnesses and spy equipment on him, and then he
- 1:27:59Speaker 3: just pieced out and and turned up and I want
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: to say Norway, and then they followed him for a
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: while and then he mysteriously got shot.
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: Ye mysteriously ye.
- 1:28:08Speaker 4: Things with the dolphins, like with the dolphins store. I
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: don't know if this is exactly, but I did read
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: this one time that we would like, if we knew
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: Russia was doing this, we would put some paperwork out
- 1:28:17Speaker 4: that said, well, we've got dolphins that are, you know,
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: blowing up mines, right.
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: So you guys know what now you got now we
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: gotta figure that out.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. It's
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: like you never really know what's real.
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: How cool the bluega whales look though, look at that
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: thing that looks like an alien. They're super super I mean,
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: look at that that looks like if we have come
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: to your planet. They discussed your use of nuclear power.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: And you would talk in that very calm tone. That
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: looks like something that would be very calm. No, that
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: was a yeah, this was a crazy So you know
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: that John Lilly researched with dolphins.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: Do you know about that?
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: Okay. John Lily is the guy who invented the sensory
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: deprivation tank.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he have one of those.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Yes, we have one over he Yeah. John Lily was
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: the man who was the inspiration for the movie Altered States. Okay,
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: So John Lilly, who was this really interesting guy and
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: was famously like out there with psychedelics like he would
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: he would take intramuscular doses of ketamine and jump in
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: the sensory deprivation tank.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: Oh damn, yeah, trying to unlock brain things.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: My friend Todd actually did it with him.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: Yeah. So John Lilly, who was also a pioneer in
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: interspecies communication. So they were trying to figure out how
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: to communicate with dolphins. So they set up a house
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: and this lady lived with the dolphins in the house
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: to get the dolphin and trying trying to coach the dolphin.
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: And the way like literally she lived in water, so
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: the water was like, you know, four feet deep, and
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: she lived with this dolphin. The problem was the dolphin
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: was super horny. So the only way that she could
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: get this dolphin to cooperate was she had to jerk
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: him off. Yep. So she was jerking off the dolphin
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: and somehow or know that, they found out and they
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: cut the funding for research.
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: But she had to do it. That's what I said,
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: you gotta do it. That's the It seems like she
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: liked it though.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: Look at her, she's hugging them. She's like yeah, I
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: mean after a while she probably did enjoy a little bit.
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: I mean, what else are you gonna do? You're stuck
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: in a tag with a dolphin?
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: The girl who talked to dolphins? So is there a
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: documentary on this? Oh? Let's uh? Is there a clip?
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: Is it like blurry? You see her hand moving.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Water turning white? So I guess.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: But if she jerked the dolphin off, then the dolphin
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: would try to talk to her. But the thing was
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: you can't really get them to They can't make the
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: noises that we want them to make. They don't have
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: the ability like it gets it, but it can't like.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: The vocal cords aren't there? Right right? Right.
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: That's one of the things where AI may actually start
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: to make a huge difference, right, yeah, right, because they
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: are able to decide for a lot of like cetacean
- 1:30:59Speaker 3: like dolphin and whalelane language now and with enough of
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: a database, they'll start to be able to say like
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: this is this means this?
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: This means this?
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: Have they actively deciphered It's.
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: So it's coming up to so base. You know, AI works,
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: you have to train it on something.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Is this the lady. She looks like a kind of
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: lady that would do that.
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: She's got a real dolphin jerk. Look to her crazy story.
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: Listen to these orca wheels imitate human.
- 1:31:25Speaker 4: Speech, says, it's responding, I'm here.
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: Oh there's your guy. I'm here.
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: Bye bye bye bye.
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: Oh it's getting there. It's trying. Yeah, whoa hello, it's amazing.
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: Whoa wan doue. I bet what it wants to say
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: is let me go, you fucking asshole. Put me back
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: in the ocean, you crazy bitch.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: Quit jerking me off and put me Maybe if they
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: jerked off.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: The killer wheel, the wouldn't have killed them. Yeah, it's
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: just like SeaWorld alone.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: It's just it's so awful.
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: And it wasn't until those that documentary was it called
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: Blackfish Blackfish, Yeah, that was like the first one where
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: people went like.
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: Hey, it was really eye opening.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: We shouldn't support this at all. I mean, I can't
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: believe people still even go.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: To Sea World.
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: It's pretty crazy. Do you know about basically prison You
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: know about those two in France that are trapped there. No, oh,
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: this is interesting. So there is basically a sea World
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: equivalent in France. And the government shut it down. I
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: forget the I'm sure we can figure it out, but
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: it was shut down. But then the dolphins and the
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: two orcas were not released, and the guys like these
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: are mine, I'm not releasing them, and I kind of
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: afford to release them or remove them. So they've just
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: been sitting in these abandoned tanks for I want to
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: say a year now, maybe maybe more. Yeah, this is
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: it here, the race to save these two Jamie. I
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: don't know if you can see if there's an aerial
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: shot of it, but yeah, so they're just sitting in
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: this thing, but but it's closed. The guy kind of
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: afford to feed them because nobody's visiting. And then I
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: believe the government just doesn't want to do anything about
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: it because they're like, we just wanted to shut you down.
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: We don't want to actually like do anything about it.
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: So there's just these two orcas sitting in these tanks.
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: And how they get food.
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: I mean he's feeding them, but he's like doing it
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: out of his pocket, and it's like few and far between.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Oh man.
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's a crazy they're they're, yeah, the
- 1:33:43Speaker 3: abandoned whales and they're just sitting in these tanks.
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: We've had a do you know Phil Demers's he's a
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: guy who uh he helped shut down Marine Land in Canada.
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: Oh okay, which was an awful, awful bad facility. There's
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: so many of these fucking places like that. See what
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: they're doing, and just like, oh, man, if we could
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: understand them, Yeah, and we could. I think someday in
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: the future we're going to look back at that the
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: way people today look back at slavery. Oh totally, we're
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: gonna say these are intelligent creatures. They just they just
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: don't have the ability to manipulate their environment like we do. Yeah,
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: but like just dolphins, their cerebral cortex is forty percent
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: larger than a human beings. So something's going on in there.
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: And you think it's okay to put them in a
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: swimming pool. That's crazy, dude. It's the same thing like
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: what I was talking about.
- 1:34:28Speaker 3: Elephants, their EQ they're emotional intelligence. We kindt of even comprehend it,
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: like the way those animals feel. Like the highs that
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: an elephant experiences and the lows that experience are way
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: bigger than the highs or lows than most humans. I
- 1:34:41Speaker 3: think any human can experience, like their EQ is way
- 1:34:44Speaker 3: bigger than ours. The trauma that they feel from losing
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: a loved one or from being abused or whatever it
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: happens to be is like ten x what humans can
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: even emotionally comprehend. How do we know that based on
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: their their brain scans and whatnot. I don't know those
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: specifics of it, But because that part of their brain
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: is so much larger than ours, and so you have
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: these they might not have the same like computive skills
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: as we do mentally, but they have this emotional intelligence.
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: It's like so much deeper and broader than ours. At
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: least that's my belief.
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: It is a weird thing with us where we only
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: characterize intelligence as the ability to manipulate your environment. Yeah,
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: we want you to write a book, right, don't. I
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: don't trust you. You're real you're really smart, Meyerhouse.
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: Why don't you?
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: How come you don't have a rocket ship?
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: You're so smart?
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: Where it's your phone? Right? Yeah?
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: Yeah, Now it's weird. It's weird, right, It's a weird
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: way to look at things.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like I think there's a part of people
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: that recognize that this this direction that people like that
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: this classification of intelligence in that way is wrong, but
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think we can really quantify it yet.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: And if AI really can decipher a dolphin language work
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: a language, will language, they really can, and we realize
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: that they're actually community and God, I would hope that
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: would change our approach to how we deal with those things.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: I think it would, because there's I think they are
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: see people really, Yeah, they're just they don't need to
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: manipulate their environment. First of all, they can travel three D.
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: They go up, they go down, they go across. They
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: can hold their breath for an hour. They don't need
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: to make a house. No, their food is everywhere. Also,
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: they're at the top of the fucking food change, right.
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: They're orcas, and they're they're nomadic.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: They don't. They don't.
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: We are not nomadic by trade, so we have to
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: manipulate our environment to make it more comfortable.
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: Or because they're not low.
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: Yeah, we can move so fast. They can make a
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: sunfish explode. We're so slow, like the fastest people like,
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: we just run into each other and knock each other unconscious.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: That's that's what we could do.
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: Fun to watch, though, dude, But I want to go
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: back to what you said about I agree, by the way,
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: about orcas and captivity in whales and things like that.
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: There's this huge anti zoom movement that I just don't
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: agree with, though, like I I belie leave. I agree
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: with you that in the future we'll go why did
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: we keep animals the way we did? And when you
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: look at old zoos and concrete boxes and stuff, huh.
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: But there's so much good that animals and captivity have done,
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: saving species, keeping things alive, connecting kids to nature. There's
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: a there's a lot of gray area. There's kings, and
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: there's fucking San.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: Diego Zoo, you know what I mean. There's a lot
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: of nuance to it. San Diego Zoo is an excellent
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: example of a really great zoo. It's unbelievable, it's incredible.
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: I've been to that place before. Yeah, but I also
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: went to that wolf place with you. Yeah, and that
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: made me sad. I know, yeah, I know, I went there.
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: I was bummed out, man.
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: But at least they're rescuing them, you know, like I
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: know what. They also cut their balls off.
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: Yeah, that bummed me out hardcore.
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: Otherwise they all fight I mean, but that's the gray
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: area that you had, Like, what's the alternative? You know,
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: it's like they dies lose, but then none of but
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: only a few of them were pure wolves. You can't
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: just let you know because then you're muddying jeans.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: It's such a complicated thing.
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: Wasn't that the whole reason why black wolves exist in
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: the first place. I think black wolves exist because it's
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: a trait that they got from domesticated dogs.
- 1:38:02Speaker 3: I read that and then I read it was false,
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: and then I read it again. I don't know what
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: the truth behind that.
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: Is put into perplexity should say it's a roganesque claim
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: that on today's podcast.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: You kind of get a good that's interesting. How do
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: you word that? Would you say? Is it true that black.
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: Wolves inherited that trait from domesticated dogs, because that is
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: one thing that absolutely has happened, is that there's been
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: interbreeding between Yeah, and not just on purpose?
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, it happened. Yeah, I mean you get yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: Is the genetic mutation of a black fur color brought
- 1:38:43Speaker 3: about by domestication? Yes, sorry, thrown a lot.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: At you, Jamie. Is it is the black the trait
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: of black wolves.
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: Did they inherit that from domesticated dogs?
- 1:39:00Speaker 4: Edit my thing man?
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: Or not? Uh?
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: From domesticated dogs?
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: I would yeah? Yeah, see see what it says.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: Let's say, do do.
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: Pointed enough? Start guessing?
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: I love watching it work where it's like spinning. Yes,
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: this is well supported by genetic research. Black coat color
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: in North American wolves comes from mutation and the K
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: locus especially specifically, excuse me, a three base pair deletion
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: in the CBD one three. I don't know what that
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: little thing is. I don't know defense in gene Is
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: that what it is? I think produces a dominantly inherited
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: melanistic phenotype. The mutation originated in dogs and moved into
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: wolves through hybridization, not the other way. Around two thousand
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: and nine study by Anderson at All first identified the
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: KB black allayle in wolves is derived from wolf interbreeding.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: Follow up work analyzing three hundred and thirty one wolves
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: and twenty dogs found that North American.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: Wolf how do you say that word?
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: Haplow type haplo type? Yeah, our monophyletic meaning a single
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: I feel like you're my teacher of.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: A single, good job.
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: Introgression event from dogs most likely seated, uh, the ale
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: through the continent, probably in the Yukon or North Northwest territories.
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: You know, I went to wear a colossal. I made
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: the dire Wolf and when you guys went, that was
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: a interesting experiment.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: Was that cool to see?
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: Yes, I haven't even seen him. I know, it's a
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: whole hush hush.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: I brought my youngest daughter and she was cuddling with
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: the four month old wolf.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: Well, there you go. You can cuddle with them win.
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: They're four months old up until a certain point. But
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: it was like a puppy.
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: And it was still huge. It was no, no, no, no, no,
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: it was pretty small. Yeah, it's like, uh.
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: Like that fucking cute man. And she was so sweet.
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: She was so sweet. She would cuddle with you and
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: you pet her and she'd kiss you. It was like
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: a fucking dog man. That is a yeah, that is
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: my god. She's so sweet. But the males, they had
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: two males that had that's her name, that's right, Kalisi's
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: the girl. So there's Romulus.
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: Look how cute they are.
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: When Ed did a baby and remiss Romulus and then Kalisi
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: the girl, that was pretty cool. So Kalisi was the
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: one that we got to the cuddle with and they're cute.
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: Oh my god. She was so fucking adorable. But you
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: can only hang out with her for a little while.
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: And then they got big and now they're big. Yeah,
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: he sends me pictures. So they were like that when
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: we went there, like that size. That size that's already
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: I don't know if I let my kids in.
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: With a wolf that size. Well, they kept away from you.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and we were in a large contained area, but
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: we got to go out with them. Yeah, and uh,
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: they just kind of hang out and look at you
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: away from me for the most part.
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: But she didn't.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: She but she can't be with them yet. Yeah, she
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: was too little interesting, It was too like, you know,
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: they didn't want her to get killed. Was just too sketchy.
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: She's tiny, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: And she was you know, she was still a baby still.
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: But they were older. I think they were a year
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: or close to a year. But they could hang out
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: with them for the first like five or six months.
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: I think. Oh, after a while, they just got different.
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: There's also some stuff about them that they didn't even
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: know dire wolves had, like the main which they're getting aba.
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: They have a main like almost like a lion's wow,
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: which they didn't know, and they didn't know they were
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: going to be white either.
- 1:42:37Speaker 3: Now, is that a variant from their genetic mutation work
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: or is that something that's just expressing itself.
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: Very good question that you'd have to talk to a
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: geneticis about, because like there's a lot of people that
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: don't even agree they're actually dire wolves.
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: A lot, yeah, a lot. Yeah.
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: They're essentially saying, the way you've done is you've taken
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: the traits of dire wolves and you've made them be
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: expressed in a gray wolf.
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: Gray wolf.
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: But that's what Beth says they've done, you know what
- 1:42:58Speaker 3: I mean, Like she's she's not they're not hiding that there.
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: We're trying to fill a niche, we're trying to make something.
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but she's also said that I think I
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: don't want to mischaracterize, but essentially what they're saying is,
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: but that's what a dire wolf was right, like that
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: they are a wolf that has all of these traits, right,
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: Like the size is the same, the look is the same.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: You can get technical and say no, you've taken a
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: gray wolf and made it exprest but yes, but they
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: got those genes specifically from dead dire wolves es, right,
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: So it's like, well, what is it our own classification
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: of these things that we're disputing, right, because we can't
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: just decide like that this I call this a direwolf,
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: and that's what it is.
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: Like.
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: The genes don't give a fuck what labels you put
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: on them, not at all, you know. And if you
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: make a dinosaur like that's not a real t rex,
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: it ate everyone in the city.
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: It's a real tea wax.
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: So it just took over a fucking city and it
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: just ate everyone in a VW bus.
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: It's a thirty foot tall lizard. It's a dinosaur like,
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: it doesn't matter how you shape it.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: Oh the wooly mouse is really cool too.
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: Yeah, they're really neat.
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: Ben Ben Ben told me one day I could have
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: a wooly mouse, so I'm holding him to that.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: It's really interesting seeing the dire wolfs though, and just
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: imagining what was it like when those things are just
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: roaming the earth.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: I know, because it's like a three.
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: Pound wolf that's all white with like thick fur and
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: a mane like a lion.
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: Dude, speaking of roaming the earth.
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: Have you heard the theory about how sloth bears stopped
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: sorry not sloth bears, what were.
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: The big cave bears?
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: Short face bears stopped human immigration?
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: Have you read about that? Yeah, that's really cool.
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: Totally makes sense.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: It totally does.
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: They just stood there waiting for people like salmon to
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: cross the bearing land bridge and they're like, well it's
- 1:44:38Speaker 3: that time of yearn Also.
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: Like, who would do that knowing that those things are
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: out there?
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: That thing was so big.
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like double the size of a polar bear.
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: Twice large polar bear that can run fifty miles.
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: Look at that thing.
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: I don't care how smart we are. That is not
- 1:44:55Speaker 3: something you want to face.
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: Right, even if you have a gun, like, good luck,
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: if you have a nine millimeter handgun and you run
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: across a grizzly bearry, you're dead. Yeah, it's not gonna
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: be enough firepower. Now, So what are you gonna what
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: are you gonna hit that thing with?
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: Well, they have rocks, so you know that's good. Rocks
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: and spears. Yeah, rocks, oh, rocks.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: I mean when they first started coming across, did they
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: even have fucking bows?
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: And arrows in that yet I don't know, Yeah, but
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: they I mean spears for sure.
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: But like that, But then there's the there's the real question,
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: is that the only way people got here? Right when
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: you see the White Sands footprints that are twenty two
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: thousand years old, and you start going, Okay, well this
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: predates the Ice Age.
- 1:45:33Speaker 3: It's before any humans were known anywhere in the New World.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like, well, what's going on there, right,
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: because this is actual human footprints, right, that have been
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: dated to twenty two thousand years ago. Yeah, and that's
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: just all we found. Yeah, that's just because they left footprints. Yeah, Like,
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: that doesn't mean there wasn't something there fifty thousand years
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: before one hundred thousand exactly exactly. And then there's in
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Mexico this evidence that looks like predation on mammoth bones
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: by humans.
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: Really spearheads and things.
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: Carvings into mammoth bones. It looks like they're broken open
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: to get marrow. Very disputed, right, because there's also some
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: people that think it could have been like some rocks
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: falling on the bone.
- 1:46:14Speaker 4: I'm not sure how this is happening, but it does
- 1:46:16Speaker 4: think they.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: Let me write this up for Joe fuck figure.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: We're going to get a separate computer that we only
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: use for perplexity.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: What is the question?
- 1:46:30Speaker 4: Sorry, well, how would humans have contested short face bears
- 1:46:33Speaker 4: on the Bearing street?
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: Let me write this up for Joe fuck off man
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: like a baby.
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: The monster bears kept humans out of North America doesn't
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: hold up any longer, apparently.
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 1:46:47Speaker 4: When I was finding people said it was a myth
- 1:46:49Speaker 4: that someone a scientist cause us commented on a paper.
- 1:46:52Speaker 4: That doesn't necessarily he could have thought that, but they
- 1:46:55Speaker 4: didn't have evidence for it.
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, like the idea of a bear line. No,
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: because the problem is bears they would have to eat
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: so much to sustain that kind of mass. Yeah that
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: there couldn't really have been a lot of them.
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: No, but it sure makes sense that there were predating
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: upon people when they came across.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: So hold hold up, hold up, go back up here.
- 1:47:16Speaker 2: This this guy's saying something kooky. He's saying that hyper
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: carnivore built for pacing long distance. He argued that it
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: was primarily a scavenger, using its size, sense of smell,
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: and long legged gait to klepto parasitize kills from lions,
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: dire wolves, and scimitar cats rather than the rundown prey itself.
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: That doesn't even make sense. Long legged gait would make
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: it faster.
- 1:47:44Speaker 3: I heard about this, So, yeah, the theory is that
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: short faced bear would come in and rob a kill,
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: like basically what a hyena does.
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: To lions or what wolves do to mountain lions. Yes,
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: but I think it to me, it doesn't add up.
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: Well, you know, grizzly bears chased down moose and kill them.
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: There's plenty of videos. I watched a video yesterday of it.
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: They've also shown now that hyenas are incredibly efficient predators.
- 1:48:06Speaker 3: And until like ten years ago, we thought hyenas were
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: only scavengers.
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: Or fifty I mean it's longer than that, but you
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: And now they show they have like a thirty percent
- 1:48:13Speaker 3: success rate, which is very high.
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no reason why they wouldn't be if they're carnivores, Like,
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: why would they be completely relying on other animals to
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: do the work for them when they have that kind
- 1:48:22Speaker 2: of biting power.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: They they're just opportunistic like old carnivores, and they move
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: as packs.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: Yeah, they work as pack animals, so they kind of
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: move like dogs.
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: If you're gonna get food, get food, you know what
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: I mean.
- 1:48:33Speaker 3: If you can kill it, kill it, if you can
- 1:48:34Speaker 3: fight something off for it, fight something off for it,
- 1:48:36Speaker 3: like it doesn't really matter.
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: That's how carnivores are.
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: What is this, dame? What are you saying?
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: Says? This is how they hunted brown bears. The probably
- 1:48:42Speaker 4: would have done it the same way. Oh, get him
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: in the dens and then burn it, burn the entrance
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: with fire, probably kill the babies, right.
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: But that's if you had access to fire.
- 1:48:53Speaker 4: I had an addle addlet and a spirit at best,
- 1:48:55Speaker 4: and maybe some fire that they could maybe move.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: You know, you know how close you have to be
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: to kill It's something with an addleaddle.
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: There's there's some videos that are really interesting where they're
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: showing people realistic scenarios where a bear is charging you
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: and they pull the out. Yeah, showing bear spray and guns,
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: like showing them like a matt Like imagine you have
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: a ten millimeters semi automatic pistol and you have to
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: rack it, so you have to rack a slide. Yeah,
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: so the gun, the bear is coming, you have to
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: draw the.
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: Gun rack it, take the safety off.
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: And then point it towards the animal and squeeze it
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: your You're dead.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: You're done, You're already dead.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: It's it's like that, it has to be like one
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: hundred yards away from you as it starts running for
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: you to didn't get a shot off.
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: I think the like idea is the bear gives you
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: some sign. Look at that bullshit ass thing. I've tried one.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: It is impossible to throw accurately.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Well, that's true, but you're not practiced in it, no,
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: of course, not like Yeah, I mean I've seen people
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: that are super accurate with spears.
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: Is anybody Adam green Tree doesn't he do the at Liddle?
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: That's just like.
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: I think I've seen him.
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: He probably knows how to do it. Yeah, But I meant, well,
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: it's not.
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: A good weapon. No, I mean, it's definitely.
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: Better than no weapon, but throwing a spear it just
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: goes further mechanical leverage.
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: So it's just I have a thing like that for
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: my dog. It's like it's like a thing with the
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: ball that has a ball in the end of it,
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: and you can it's so easy to not blow your
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: shoulder out. You can throw it pretty fucking far right,
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: and whenever every time I do it, I was like, wow,
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: of course this is way better.
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: Yet extra leverage.
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: With this thing. And then also you can kind of
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: whip it with your wrists and you get all this
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: action with the ball. You would do the same thing
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: with a spear with it makes sense, It makes sense.
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: It seems hard to be accurate though, super hard.
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: Well, it's hard to be accurate with a traditional bow,
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: you know, it's so hard. Like I, you know, I
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: shoot a compound bow, and a compound bow is uh,
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: there's so much technology involved.
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: First of all, I have a laser range finder and
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: I arrange something. It says fifty two yards. Then I
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: go to my site tape that's on my site on
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: my bow, and I dial it to fifty two yards
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: because I use archery software that measures the weight of
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: my arrow. So I have this five hundred grain arrow,
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: and then it has the speed per so it's three
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: hundred and ninety feet per second from a five hundred
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: grain arrow. And then I put it into this computer
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: and it spits out a site tape so that I
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: can move my pins specifically, so I could put it
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: in a quarter well fifty two yards if I was
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: accurate enough.
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: No one really is, except like really excellent world class archers.
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: With a traditional bow, you're just guessing, Yeah, so you're
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: just guessing the arc of the arrow, and then you
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: have to think, Okay, I'm buying arrows right that are
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: made by a guy who's measuring them. They're all down
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: to like they're within two grains of each other, and
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: they have like inserts. My front of center is very.
- 1:51:59Speaker 3: High, perfect aerodynamics, and it made at a carbon fiber.
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: These fucking arrows, they're making them by hand, and then
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: they're making the arrow heads by hand, so they could
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: be off each one of them. Like, so you're just
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: guessing where that fucking arrow is gonna go. And you
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: have to shoot every day to get a real sense
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: of like what the drop is at a certain distance,
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: and then you have to kind of judge how far
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: is he is he twenty yards.
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: Thirty yards, fifty yards.
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: So even with modern traditional bows, and that's like that
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: sounds like a.
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean. Re curves and long bows, right.
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: I mean that sounds like an oxymoron, But they are
- 1:52:37Speaker 2: still traditional in the sense of you're not using cams.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: You don't have like a cam that rolls over, and
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: it's mechanical advantage. Fiberglass limbs and all this chest you're
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: using like wood still, right, even with those things, you're
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: still buying arrows, and the arrows weigh the same amount.
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: Yeah, they're perfect.
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: So if you did that over and over again in
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: your yard, you did it every day for three hours
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: a day, you would get a sense of how far.
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: And then if you did it a bunch, you'd get
- 1:53:05Speaker 2: an idea of judging distances. And there's like little tricks.
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: There's certain archery tournaments where you're not allowed to use
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: a rangefinder. Oh really yeah, And so the idea is
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: you have to develop the skill of being in and
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: I think these tournaments probably started back when rangefinders didn't exist. Yeah,
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: and then when rangefinders did exist, they're like, nah, that's cheating, and.
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: Then the targets are at various yes, yeah, And so.
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: Guys develop a very good way of measuring distance sure,
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: And what essentially they do is they can pretty accurately
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: judge five yards, and then they double that, and then
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: they triple that, and then they try to figure it
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: and they get within like ten or fifteen yards. But
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: you know that's a lot, even with a compound bow.
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: You know, that drop of ten or fifteen yards, it's
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: pretty significant, even something that's going three hundred fet a second.
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: But when you're doing with a fucking wooden arrow that
- 1:53:58Speaker 2: you made yourself with a stone tip, like like one
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: of these bad boys. I have one here, somewhere, somewhere
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: on this desk. Yeah here, It is so cool.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: Like that somebody made that.
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: So if you make that one and then somebody else
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: makes one right next to it, it might be fifteen
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: grains different, it might be fifty grains different.
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: And the aerodynamics are different, like the flint napping is
- 1:54:19Speaker 3: completely different.
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this thing's not rare. That's not good. That's
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: plain like a motherfucker shot it out of a really
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: good bow.
- 1:54:29Speaker 3: And not to mention the stress of if I don't
- 1:54:31Speaker 3: kill this thing, I'm either gonna die or I'm not
- 1:54:33Speaker 3: gonna eat or you know all the other things.
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: And give a fifteen foot bear right right, Oh yeah,
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: probably bigger, like was the height of a short face
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: bear or the length? Like what is the what is
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: a big short face bear?
- 1:54:47Speaker 3: You've seen those caves, they have in like Missouri where
- 1:54:50Speaker 3: they're still claw marks from short face bears and things.
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: Really.
- 1:54:53Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can go visit like middens of them
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: in Missouri where.
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: They used to live out a cave like a den.
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: Yeah, where they live dens and you could see their
- 1:55:01Speaker 3: claw marks in the mud and everything else.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: Eleven to twelven and twelve feet. I think they probably
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: have to be bigger than that, because Kodiak bears get
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: that big. Kodiak bear bears can get twelve.
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: Feet, do they they get that big Kodiak Yeah?
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: I mean maybe they're measuring them squirrely, because you know,
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: like a lot of times they measure stuff to try
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: to make it seem bigger. So what is the largest
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: Kodiak bear ever killed? Let's look look that up, largest
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: Kodiak bear, largest Kodiak bear ever killed.
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: Ever recorded. There you go recorded the same thing.
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: Okay, they have it by weight. It's one six hundred
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: and fifty six pounds, which is, by the way, whole it's.
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: Lee shit insane. Yeah, and nearly a one ton bear. Yeah,
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: that's so.
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: Craig the hind foot measured eighteen inches. Oh god, how
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: tall was it? How long. Was it more than that?
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's over a ton in a zoo zoo? Yeah, yeah,
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: But he might have been fat.
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: He was fat, he.
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: Might have been short fat. So what is the so
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: what is the longest, the largest length?
- 1:56:20Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he's sitting. I think I've seen this
- 1:56:23Speaker 3: bear and he's sitting in the Anchorage airport when you
- 1:56:25Speaker 3: land there.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: Oh this is a big is that that bear? I
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: think that's the largest bear I've seen that. Yeah, I've
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: seen that in Anchorage. That's that thing's nuts.
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: At the airport there. Yeah, it's like a glass case
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the biggest bear
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: ever ever shot.
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: Look at that one ever recorded two thousand, one hundred
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: and thirty pounds.
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: No, no length measurements. Where that is so big?
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: That's so crazy, the short faced bear. They don't even
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: really know how much it weighed. They're just basing it
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: on the bones. Yeah right, they don't have a dead
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: one now.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: So that right that photo up there, that's Fred Bear
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: with his nineteen sixty two world record Alaskan bear. Go
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: back to that photo that you just were at before. Yeah,
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: look at that, that's his stuff.
- 1:57:12Speaker 5: Bear.
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: Jeez, he shot that with an old bullshit bow. Yeah,
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: look at his bow. That bow sucks. That's so crazy.
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: He was the first like modern bowhunter. Oh really yeah,
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: I mean he's a guy who popularized bow hunting. Fred
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: Bear is a legend in the bow hunting world. And
- 1:57:34Speaker 2: I mean you got to think much, how good does
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: life have to be? Where you go, let's try to
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: do something that people used to do before guns. Yeah,
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: just because it wasn't really a thing that people practiced
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: for fun. Like the food had to be so readily available. Yeah,
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: we had to say, let's make it harder. Yeah, go backwards. Yeah,
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: let's have so much food, let's make it more difficulty.
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: And then there's guys to day that they don't like
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: compound bows because they're too hot, too easy.
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: Yeah, they're using recurvey. Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: My friend Aaron Snyder, who's a like a world famous
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: bow hunter, went back to using a recurve bow because
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: it was killing too many things with a compound bow.
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: Fella goes too easy.
- 1:58:16Speaker 3: But that's what happens, right, is these guys master their
- 1:58:18Speaker 3: their craft and when they spend all that time on it,
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: and then they're like, how do I make the challenge
- 1:58:22Speaker 3: harder on that.
- 1:58:23Speaker 2: Also, they're competing with other world class bowhunters, like they're
- 1:58:27Speaker 2: all like who's the man?
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is.
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: A little bit of that. But it's also like that's
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: how they get good in the first place. Like this
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: is a weird thing about people in competition. You say
- 1:58:38Speaker 2: competition is bad, Like, okay, are you saying that on
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: your phone? Because how do you think you got a phone? Yeah,
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: you got a phone because somebody these competings other people,
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: they developed a phone. Like it's just a different kind
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: of competition.
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: I think competition is essential to human culture.
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: It's certainly essential to progress. Yeah, and this is why
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: socialism is never gonna work. You got to reward people.
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: If they're not rewarded, they're not going to work hard,
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: hard enough to do anything really spectacular. Why bother, So
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: you're never going to get a laptop. It would have
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: never happened. You would have never had high speed internet.
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: Somebody has to profit wildly, yes, for them to be
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: enthusiastic about spending seventeen hours a day making something like.
- 1:59:14Speaker 3: But that's the joy of competition paying off. Yeah right,
- 1:59:16Speaker 3: It's like I know, not so much with bow hunting.
- 1:59:18Speaker 3: But if you're competitive as a person to the point
- 1:59:21Speaker 3: that you succeed the most at developing a phone or
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: a cup or whatever it happens to be, you win
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: and you get paid the month.
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: We just have to have regulations to make sure that
- 1:59:28Speaker 2: those people don't run a muck and then take over
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: entire countries.
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: And become a monopoly.
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what was going on with Microsoft in
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: the nineteen nineties. You remember all those remember that.
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: No, what was how were they taking over?
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: Bill Gates was a maniac still but before people think
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: of Bill Gates now, well now I think COVID kind
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: of ruined his people's impressions of him. Can now they
- 1:59:49Speaker 2: think of him as a vaccine pusher, but also as
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: a philanthro capitalist where he's doing philanthropy that makes millions
- 1:59:56Speaker 2: and millions of dollars for him.
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: Didn't you also put out that anti protein? Wasn't that him?
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 2:00:02Speaker 3: I think Bill Gates wife Bill Gates correct me wrong.
- 2:00:06Speaker 3: But Bill Gates wife is vegan, I believe, and he
- 2:00:09Speaker 3: funded like some Netflix documentary all on how like bodybuilders
- 2:00:13Speaker 3: get huge?
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: Thinking about James Cameron, am I thinking about James Cameron.
- 2:00:17Speaker 2: I know James Cameron's wife is vegan.
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: I might be mixing them up.
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: You're talking about game changers that the Vegan documentaries.
- 2:00:25Speaker 3: Yea, with the huge jacked guy being like, I never
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: touched protein.
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: Yeah, it turns out the problem I think if you
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: looking at that from an ethical perspective and you're saying
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: factory farming is bad, I'm on your page. I'm with you,
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: but that happened. But yeah, there's a clear agenda. Also
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: just not accurate.
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: Anyway, I pirated your thing on Bill Gates though. Sorry.
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: So the point was during the nineteen nineties, he was
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: there was all these trials where they had these monopolistic practices, okay,
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: and they were buying up competition or destroying competition.
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: There's just anybody that developed any computer.
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: Any anybody developed browsers that competed with you know, microdos stuff. Yeah,
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: here is landmark. Nineteen nineties trials refer to United States
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: versus Microsoft Corporation, massive anti trust lawsuit filed by US
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: Department of Justice and twenty states. Key elements included browser
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: war integration, the anti trust ruling, and the appellate settlement
- 2:01:28Speaker 2: and so everybody in the nineties thought of him as
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: this guy who is this like ruthless capitalist that was
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: trying to destroy all the competition. Okay, so he kind
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: of reinvented himself, gotcha. And the way he reinvented himselves is,
- 2:01:42Speaker 2: first of all, he donated an enormous amount of money
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: to the media, so to NBCCBSC and all these different kinds.
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: They gave him hundreds of millions of dollars just to
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: basically kind of say, guys, I'm your.
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: Friend, I'm your buddy.
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: And then he developed the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: and they were really concerned with global health.
- 2:02:03Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's dude.
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: Do you know what they did fucking in the koborab
- 2:02:07Speaker 3: Asidelta with their mosquito nets?
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: Why would you? But do you know what I'm talking
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: about at all? Do dude? I'm gonna go on a
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: fucking tirade here. Okay.
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: So the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation decided that there
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: was too much malaria in Africa, right, which you and
- 2:02:22Speaker 3: I could probably agree with. Malaria is bad. So what
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: did they do? They gave all of these people living
- 2:02:28Speaker 3: in tribal villages. I'm totally pirate of your thing. I'm sorry,
- 2:02:31Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go on a fucking grant here. They
- 2:02:33Speaker 3: gave all these people living in the kaborab Asadelta, which
- 2:02:36Speaker 3: is the bread basket of the Zambizi Valley, meaning like
- 2:02:39Speaker 3: where more fish are born. It's a it's a nursery
- 2:02:42Speaker 3: for fish, right, not just there, But this is a
- 2:02:44Speaker 3: good micro example. They gave millions of mosquito nets out
- 2:02:47Speaker 3: to all these people to avoid malaria. Guess what the
- 2:02:50Speaker 3: people who were starving to death did with their mosquito nets.
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: They fished with them.
- 2:02:56Speaker 3: Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that
- 2:02:59Speaker 3: a mosquito get through. So guess what These mosquito nets
- 2:03:02Speaker 3: now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Kabora
- 2:03:06Speaker 3: Basa where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate.
- 2:03:11Speaker 3: So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and
- 2:03:13Speaker 3: thousands of people that have been handed nets, that have
- 2:03:16Speaker 3: been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years.
- 2:03:19Speaker 3: They don't give a shit about malaria. They have their
- 2:03:20Speaker 3: own way of dealing with malaria. They sit in smoky
- 2:03:22Speaker 3: huts at night, they sleep with a campfire. Everything else yes,
- 2:03:25Speaker 3: they still get malaria, some of them, but they deal
- 2:03:27Speaker 3: with it their own way. Bill Milinda Gates Foundation come
- 2:03:30Speaker 3: in hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the
- 2:03:35Speaker 3: entire population of fish that feed millions of people because
- 2:03:39Speaker 3: these people just take the nets and fish all the
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: baby fish out so that those fish don't grow up
- 2:03:44Speaker 3: to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful philanthropists
- 2:03:48Speaker 3: that have given out millions of nets have destroyed an ecosystem,
- 2:03:52Speaker 3: crashed a fish population, and created widespread hunger for people
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: that otherwise had plenty of resources, all because they were
- 2:03:59Speaker 3: trying to help with mosquito nets. Oh god, it's just
- 2:04:02Speaker 3: like it's a fucking disaster, dude. They've taken such a
- 2:04:05Speaker 3: rich and important part of Africa, one of the most
- 2:04:08Speaker 3: abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it because
- 2:04:12Speaker 3: they're helping.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: By handing out mosquito nets. Good. Yeah, I know, sorry,
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: I told you, I go on a rent.
- 2:04:18Speaker 3: But it's like it's so bad what's happened over there,
- 2:04:21Speaker 3: And they're still giving out mosquito nets, by the way,
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: and you literally watch these guys line up take a
- 2:04:25Speaker 3: mosquito net and it never goes in their house. It
- 2:04:28Speaker 3: goes straight to catching fish that are this big for
- 2:04:30Speaker 3: them to eat.
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: Oh god, sorry, I remember.
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: It's so bad for them too. Was like, can't you
- 2:04:36Speaker 2: just double up the net thing and just get them
- 2:04:39Speaker 2: other nets too, Like say, hey, guys, that's.
- 2:04:42Speaker 4: What happens twen eighteen they got the new nets. Oh
- 2:04:45Speaker 4: that's I'm looking at the things.
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's just totally ruined, crash the ecosystem.
- 2:04:52Speaker 3: It completely crashed it, and it created widespread hunger in
- 2:04:55Speaker 3: a place that had no hunger. So now you have
- 2:04:57Speaker 3: people with malaria and hunger. God, and it's like done
- 2:05:01Speaker 3: from a place of.
- 2:05:02Speaker 1: Good intent, or maybe it isn't. And I think that's
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: where you were going.
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: But I don't think it is. I think it's a
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: it's a ruse. And I think what a lot of
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: it is is this thing like we are doing philanthropy. Yeah,
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: but then you go, oh, but you're profiting. You're making
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars from this philanthropy, right, yeah,
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: you're buying goodwill and you're also on television promoting vaccines,
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: Like why are you You're a guy who didn't even
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: graduate college, Like, I don't know. I mean, I don't
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: even know if you made it out of high school.
- 2:05:32Speaker 2: Like he's a weird guy. He's obviously very smart, Yeah,
- 2:05:35Speaker 2: of course, but why you're not a health expert? Why
- 2:05:38Speaker 2: and you look like shit? Like why are you promoting health?
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: Like this is great global health? Just a fucking weird guy. Man,
- 2:05:46Speaker 2: the weirdest thing have you ever seen that? You know,
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: he was obviously friends with Jeffrey Epstein or communicated with
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: him and had some sort of relations.
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that. Oh it's popular, gotcha well known.
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: I feel like everybody it's connected to Epstein now, like
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of people.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: But the craziest conversation was there was a woman who
- 2:06:06Speaker 2: was asking him did he regret his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: And he's just trying to say that the only reason
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: why I talked to Jeffrey Epstein because Jeffrey Epstein was
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: gonna he was going to donate money to his philanthropy
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: and all the different things and he's involved in. But
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: it didn't work out. I do regret it. And and
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: and she said did you I forget what her question
- 2:06:28Speaker 2: was he but Gates says, well, he's dead now, so
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: there's that ge. There's something about it is you got
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: to be careful, like he's it's like a weird like
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: veiled threat. It's very odd the way he answers the question, yeah,
- 2:06:46Speaker 2: essentially saying that I'm like.
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: I'm reading it like like you got whacked. Yeah, Like
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: that's what I'm reading.
- 2:06:52Speaker 3: Interesting, weird find that that. I was sure, Well, you
- 2:06:56Speaker 3: find out I was talking to some buddies about this,
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: you know, just like standard brochat. If Epstein happened today, right,
- 2:07:03Speaker 3: and you had no knowledge of the weird stuff going
- 2:07:05Speaker 3: on on the island, like you would be invited, you
- 2:07:07Speaker 3: know what I mean.
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: They'd be like, hey, Joe, they.
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: Did invite me, Oh really, oh yeah twenty seventeen, not
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: to specifically, yeah, but to meet Epstein.
- 2:07:17Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying.
- 2:07:18Speaker 3: And I was like, what if that happened today, some
- 2:07:21Speaker 3: guy came to meet Oh sorry, well yeah, let's do it.
- 2:07:24Speaker 6: Pored it at that time that you had a number
- 2:07:28Speaker 6: of meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, who when you met him
- 2:07:32Speaker 6: ten years ago, he was convicted of soliciting prostitution from minors.
- 2:07:37Speaker 6: What did you know about him when you were meeting
- 2:07:39Speaker 6: with him? As you've said yourself, in the hopes of
- 2:07:42Speaker 6: raising money.
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I.
- 2:07:44Speaker 5: Had dinners with him. I regret doing that. He had
- 2:07:51Speaker 5: relationships with people he said, you know, would give to
- 2:07:55Speaker 5: global health, which is a interest I have, you know,
- 2:07:59Speaker 5: not nearly enough lanthropy goes in that direction.
- 2:08:02Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:08:02Speaker 5: You know, those meetings were a mistake. They didn't result
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: in what he purported, and I cut them off. You know,
- 2:08:11Speaker 5: that goes back along time ago. Now there's you know,
- 2:08:15Speaker 5: so there's nothing new on that.
- 2:08:16Speaker 6: It was reported that you continue to meet with him
- 2:08:18Speaker 6: over several years, and that, in other words, a number
- 2:08:23Speaker 6: of meetings. What did you do when you found out
- 2:08:27Speaker 6: about his background?
- 2:08:30Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've said I regretted having those dinners,
- 2:08:36Speaker 5: and there's nothing absolutely nothing new on that.
- 2:08:39Speaker 6: Is there a lesson for you for anyone else looking
- 2:08:44Speaker 6: looking at this?
- 2:08:45Speaker 5: Well he's dead, so uh, you know, in general, you
- 2:08:49Speaker 5: always have to be careful and you know the you know,
- 2:08:55Speaker 5: I'm I'm very proud of what we've done in philant
- 2:08:58Speaker 5: be very proud of the work of the family.
- 2:09:02Speaker 1: First of all, a record scratch.
- 2:09:04Speaker 2: You have billions of dollars and this guy didn't give
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: you money for years and you still he kept meeting
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: What about your money? Like, what is he going to
- 2:09:15Speaker 2: give you? How much does he get? How much does he.
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: Have, especially compared to Bill Gates?
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: But he also probably doesn't have a fraction of what
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: you have, right, So, like if like Elon started hit
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: me up to donate money to something like, hey, bitch, won't.
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: You you got dude? Do you know how much money?
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: You have?
- 2:09:29Speaker 1: So much money? Why don't you why you ask?
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: If he kept meeting with me for years, for years
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: to try to get me to donate, Like, it's kind
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: of similar, right, this is what we're talking about. He's
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: a billionaire, like hundreds of billions of dollars. None of
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: it makes any sense. The guy was providing a party
- 2:09:46Speaker 2: for rich people. That's what he was doing. He was
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: providing away with these rich people can fucking let their
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: hair down and have a good old time and do
- 2:09:54Speaker 2: coke or whatever.
- 2:09:55Speaker 3: That it was really right. It was just a come
- 2:09:58Speaker 3: but the party had no rules, and that's what makes it.
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: I'm just guessing. I'm just guessing. But I had a
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: guy who tried to get me to meet him in
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: twenty seventeen.
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: In La or where oh I was in La yeah.
- 2:10:09Speaker 2: When he reached out to me, Epstein appeared to have
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: drafted himself, claiming Gates had oh yeah, yeah right. This
- 2:10:18Speaker 2: is an email that Epstein appears to have drafted to himself,
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: claiming that Gates had contracted an STI from encounters with
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: Russian girls and hid antibiotics from Melinda. Gates said the
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: emails were never sent and are false. His spokesman called
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: them absolutely absurd, so absurd that someone could get an
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: std from a Russian girl. Gates has separately admitted to
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: affairs with two Russian women and with a Microsoft employee,
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: but says none of them are connected to Epstein or
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: his victims.
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: Some people say those emails are like a journal he
- 2:10:52Speaker 4: was keeping, Like why would you keeping himself? He was, well,
- 2:10:56Speaker 4: he wrote on an iPad all the time. Apparently that's
- 2:10:58Speaker 4: why the typos are so bad. And he just liked email.
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: You know, it's you know, I mean, imagine that's your journal.
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: But why would you do that? Why would you make
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: up a story about a guy havingn STDs? I think
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: more likely because so there was a rumor and this
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: is an unsubstantiated rumor. I want to we were clear
- 2:11:15Speaker 2: that that Epstein was trying to blackmail Gates with some
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: story about a bridge player that he was having an
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: affair with Russian bridge player.
- 2:11:27Speaker 3: I also think they've intentionally flooded the internet with so
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: much misinformation.
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: Perhaps, but my point was if he could have drafted
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: that email which was never sent, yeah, and then sent
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: the draft to Bill Gates or showed it to him, yeah,
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: and say what do you think about this? So I
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: could just if you don't, yeah, how about you shut
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: the fuck up?
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: Will you give me some money? How about you? You know,
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: because there was a bunch of well, there was a
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: bunch of people that gave him a lot of money.
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: They gave a lot of money. Oh yeah, yeah. In fact,
- 2:11:58Speaker 2: the guy, the Victoria's Secrets guy, gave him a house,
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: gave him.
- 2:12:02Speaker 4: Control of one hundred percent of his finances. So it
- 2:12:05Speaker 4: wasn't just he gave it to him, taken it or
- 2:12:08Speaker 4: you know. And he goes like, I didn't know what
- 2:12:09Speaker 4: he was doing.
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: Wait, so did fund that house?
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:12:12Speaker 3: Did he fund the Victoria's Secret guy to start Victoria's
- 2:12:14Speaker 3: Secret No?
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no no no.
- 2:12:16Speaker 4: That's how he got involved after that guy's u This
- 2:12:19Speaker 4: goes real deep so Columbus. This guy got uh he
- 2:12:22Speaker 4: was going to go to talk to the irs about
- 2:12:24Speaker 4: specifically what I don't know, nineteen eighty four, but he
- 2:12:26Speaker 4: was like the tax guy for that company. He was
- 2:12:29Speaker 4: murdered in a mob hit style.
- 2:12:31Speaker 1: This is what I like this podcast. I'm just like
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: an animal nerd.
- 2:12:33Speaker 3: I talk about snakes and I'm like, find out about
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: Victoria's secret astein and ships.
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's what the human animal does. Yeah,
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: the human animal when it's in these very controlled spaces
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: where just so let's look at it this way. So
- 2:12:49Speaker 2: imagine you're a guy who's especially if you're a nerd,
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: and you know you you were never really good with
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: women when you're in high school social and then all
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: of a sudden, you have literally one hundred billion dollars
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: and you could just get prostitutes anytime you want. And
- 2:13:06Speaker 2: I guess if you get the really high end ones,
- 2:13:08Speaker 2: they know how to shut the fuck up.
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: Sure.
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: And if you have this friend of yours who was
- 2:13:11Speaker 2: in the masade, and that guy can get the best hookers,
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: and he's got a fucking island, you go to the island.
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: It's the best. We fly. We talk about philanthropy, we Fuck. Yeah,
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: it makes sense.
- 2:13:20Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I'm saying for It's like, you're
- 2:13:22Speaker 3: just like it's just a party for a bunch of
- 2:13:24Speaker 3: dorks who can come here with a lot of money.
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: But there's also some weird science connection with him, and
- 2:13:28Speaker 2: that's work.
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: It gets really odd is that he.
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: Got that ranch in New Mexico so he could be
- 2:13:36Speaker 2: close to the guys that were working at Los Alamos,
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: who were famously not making much money. So he's around
- 2:13:43Speaker 2: these guys and he's talking about going into business with
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: them and giving them this chance to make an insane
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: amount of money. And this is what he did with
- 2:13:51Speaker 2: Eric Weinstein. With Eric Weinstein, he contacted him and they
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: had a meeting and he was trying to get Eric
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: Weinstein to do something with him. And if Eric did it,
- 2:13:59Speaker 2: he had the potential to make an enormous amount of money.
- 2:14:02Speaker 2: And Eric is very wise, and he just didn't buy
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: him from the start. He's like, the guy's are construct Yeah,
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: everything about him. He's like he doesn't know anything about finance.
- 2:14:10Speaker 2: Like he was talking to him, He's like, this guy's
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: a construct is not this is not a real finance guy.
- 2:14:14Speaker 2: He's like, there's something going.
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: On, Wait, what was the science they were working on?
- 2:14:19Speaker 2: A bunch of different physicists were connected to him Einstein.
- 2:14:23Speaker 2: Epstein reportedly hoped to develop super race of.
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: Humans with his deal. Wow, wow, what is that from what?
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: That's the New York got.
- 2:14:33Speaker 4: Afferent one of the articles.
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: New York Times. That is crazy. But he had a
- 2:14:40Speaker 2: bunch of relationships with some very impressive scientists and physicists
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: and also oddly connected to the whole UAP world. The
- 2:14:50Speaker 2: whole Los Animals Thing's weird because the thing is that
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: he by buying that ranch in New Mexico, put him
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: close to Los Animals, which was in New Mexico, and
- 2:15:01Speaker 2: he then he had access to all these scientists that
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: were famously underpaid, Right, so these guys were not making
- 2:15:08Speaker 2: much money, and he was this incredibly wealthy guy through
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: no way that anybody could ever rationally brain.
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all weird.
- 2:15:16Speaker 2: And you know, and who knows what he was trying
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: to get them to do.
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: He was probably just one of those guys.
- 2:15:20Speaker 3: I mean, you never ended up meeting him, but he
- 2:15:22Speaker 3: was probably just incredibly likable as a con man, do
- 2:15:24Speaker 3: you know what I mean? You probably sat in a
- 2:15:26Speaker 3: room with him and you're like, Wow, this guy's really great,
- 2:15:28Speaker 3: Like maybe I should give him some money, maybe I should,
- 2:15:30Speaker 3: like what a cool guy, And he's just a dirt
- 2:15:32Speaker 3: bag under the you know, under the veil.
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: We're just speculating. But maybe maybe also if you have
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: a bunch of really hot Russian chicks that are hanging
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: out with you, and that'll do it. You don't need
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: to be that charming.
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: That's so true, so true.
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: You're a billionaire with a bunch of hot Russian chicks.
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: And then there's a bunch of people that are willing
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: to hang out with billionaires just because I've seen it
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: where people just get enamored by the fact that someone's
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: insanely wealthy and they want to go to the party
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: at their house, Like, who.
- 2:15:59Speaker 3: But all those people doing work like crazy? You, I mean,
- 2:16:01Speaker 3: they're not fun. I mean I don't know, I don't
- 2:16:03Speaker 3: know that many. Well he was, that's true. That guy
- 2:16:05Speaker 3: partied hard. Yeah, good point, good point.
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: Yeah. To be a billionaire too, I mean, in most cases,
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: what you have to do is be insanely driven. Yeah,
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: you have to be that guy that works eighteen twenty
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: hours a day.
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: Right, you know, and give up all the other things.
- 2:16:19Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to give up all your time and
- 2:16:20Speaker 2: that becomes your whole life. Yeah, and but I think
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: that's also why they wanted a guy like that that
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: could provide them. This is why win Eric Weinstein described it.
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: He said he provided them with experiences. I believe, Yeah,
- 2:16:32Speaker 2: that was his and I think he's right. I think
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: that makes sense.
- 2:16:35Speaker 3: So, I mean, my one and only billionaire friend is
- 2:16:37Speaker 3: that a not in Bonnie, that Indian guy I was mentioning.
- 2:16:39Speaker 3: I think it's so cool that he's built this gigantic
- 2:16:42Speaker 3: wildlife rescue.
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: That is pretty dope because he's a great thing to
- 2:16:45Speaker 1: do with money. He's just like he's a nerd like me.
- 2:16:47Speaker 3: And if he hears this, he's gonna be like, thanks
- 2:16:48Speaker 3: a lot, but like he's just an animal nerd, do
- 2:16:50Speaker 3: you know what I mean. He's gonna be like he
- 2:16:51Speaker 3: just like he just loves animals and conservation and he's like,
- 2:16:54Speaker 3: I have generational wealth that might you know, it came
- 2:16:58Speaker 3: from his family. His family's like fifth or sixth generation
- 2:17:00Speaker 3: of having huge industry and he's like, okay, so with
- 2:17:03Speaker 3: my excess money, I'm going to rescue animals instead of
- 2:17:06Speaker 3: do other you know, it's very cool.
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: I mean for me, it's amazing.
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's look, there's nothing wrong with space
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: race stuff too. It's all fascinating, but it's just it's
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: and I get it from a perspective of people who
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: think there's not enough money in the world, and then
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: a why of these people have so much money and
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: they should give all their money away? And it's like, okay,
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: but you could do that all the way down to
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: like one hundred thousand dollars a year if you really
- 2:17:31Speaker 2: wanted to do it, especially when you compare yourself to
- 2:17:33Speaker 2: everyone else in the world.
- 2:17:34Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. You know, we're in the just
- 2:17:36Speaker 3: living in this country alone, we're in the one percent, Righteah,
- 2:17:39Speaker 3: most people.
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: I think one percent of the world. We look this up,
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: it's like fifty sixty thousand dollars. If you make more
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: than that, you're in the one percent of.
- 2:17:47Speaker 1: Earth, right, And that's the majority of people in the
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: United States.
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. So like, yeah, you're barely getting buy
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: in America and you're in the one percent of.
- 2:17:53Speaker 1: The world exactly.
- 2:17:54Speaker 2: Yeah, which is wild.
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: It's wild, that's really, it really is.
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: Yeah, We're we're the weirdest animal. Just study us.
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: I should today, I'll tell you what.
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're not fun like you. You study us
- 2:18:08Speaker 2: and you go, oh god, what are they fucking doing?
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: Whereas you study animals, you're like, oh, fucking cool.
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: They're way cooler.
- 2:18:15Speaker 3: They're way more interesting, more teeth, more claws, more slithering.
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: Well, it's also just the fact that there's so much
- 2:18:21Speaker 2: variety and that they are real, and that they are
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: then some of them are so strange. How about that
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: new monkey that they just found, the congo.
- 2:18:28Speaker 1: With the lipstick crazy orange his orange mouth.
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like you just say, like one of
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: them freeze pops.
- 2:18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly like your kid after Yeah, a hundred, dude.
- 2:18:37Speaker 3: It's so cool and new primate species coming out still, like, No,
- 2:18:41Speaker 3: I love that. I think it's so great.
- 2:18:43Speaker 2: Do you believe in the bondo ape? Do you think
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: that thing is?
- 2:18:47Speaker 1: Yes?
- 2:18:47Speaker 3: And no, Like, there's probably likely a group of chimpanzees.
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean that that just are
- 2:18:53Speaker 3: more aggressive, that are a social construct and are larger
- 2:18:57Speaker 3: and are larger. But it doesn't mean that it's like this,
- 2:19:00Speaker 3: you know, because they have the whole thing about them
- 2:19:01Speaker 3: being lion killing apes and all this other stuff. There's
- 2:19:05Speaker 3: probably a family, troop, a group and you know they're
- 2:19:07Speaker 3: in war. Now have you read about this? Yeah, so
- 2:19:11Speaker 3: I think that's the bondo ape is real in the
- 2:19:13Speaker 3: sense of there is a probably an isolated, larger group
- 2:19:16Speaker 3: of chimps that just act like chimps.
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: The thing about this chimp those they said that their
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: skulls are different.
- 2:19:21Speaker 3: Yeah, the cranial ridge. Yeah yeah, yeah, makes sense. Things
- 2:19:25Speaker 3: with stronger jaw muscles have a cranial ridge. You know,
- 2:19:28Speaker 3: you see it in hyenas, you see it and things
- 2:19:29Speaker 3: like that. Gorillas, yeah, gorillas, Yeah, exactly, it's just more
- 2:19:32Speaker 3: more surface era for the muscle to attach to.
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: Basically, it's just like that would be so fascinating to
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: find those things.
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: And that's what you know that Karl armand got spent
- 2:19:42Speaker 1: his whole life hunting reading rumors.
- 2:19:45Speaker 2: But at least he got some photos, unlike that poor
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: fucker that was looking for the sloth.
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: Yeah, still still trying.
- 2:19:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Like he got some camera trap photos of them. Yeah,
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: and you know.
- 2:19:54Speaker 3: No, and they were bipedal in the photos, right, and
- 2:19:56Speaker 3: ye a lot of them, which chimps are you know,
- 2:19:59Speaker 3: they'll walk on hind legs and stuff. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 2:20:02Speaker 1: It is pretty cool.
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: And then there's a photo of the one that they
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: killed that was at the airport. Do you know you
- 2:20:06Speaker 2: ever see that one?
- 2:20:07Speaker 1: Oh, it's crazy at the airport.
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a small airport and they killed this one
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: enormous chimpanzee. So there's the two guys that are standing
- 2:20:17Speaker 2: with it. It's hard to tell how big the guys are,
- 2:20:19Speaker 2: but normal size human beings. That's the biggest fucking chimpanzee
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life. Look at that thing.
- 2:20:25Speaker 1: They're amazing. Look at that.
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: I mean, the guy is You could tell by perspective
- 2:20:30Speaker 2: that the guy's he's got his hand on it, so
- 2:20:31Speaker 2: he's right behind it. Yeah, it's and his arm is
- 2:20:35Speaker 2: not extended, so it's not fake. And that chimpanzee looks
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: way bigger than him.
- 2:20:40Speaker 1: Way bigger. Yeah, it's amazing.
- 2:20:42Speaker 2: So they think that is one of them.
- 2:20:43Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Like I said, I think it's real in
- 2:20:46Speaker 3: the sense. Oh yeah, this this famous photo.
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: See, but that one just to me looks like a chimpanzee.
- 2:20:51Speaker 2: That just looks like a big chimp. Where the one
- 2:20:54Speaker 2: that's sitting down that looks way bigger than those guys
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: at the size of its head is fucking enormous.
- 2:21:00Speaker 3: Do you know that there's one river where I'm trying
- 2:21:04Speaker 3: to remember exactly how this works, but basically there's one
- 2:21:06Speaker 3: area where the rivers collide, where the chimps and the
- 2:21:10Speaker 3: gorillas go into conflict with each other over this one
- 2:21:14Speaker 3: river spot. Do you know what I'm talking about? Have
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: you ever heard about this? Yeah, it's really interesting. So
- 2:21:18Speaker 3: somewhere in the Congo there's this particular river and I
- 2:21:21Speaker 3: think it's called the Cross River, can't remember now, And
- 2:21:24Speaker 3: it's an area that the chimps will come on one
- 2:21:27Speaker 3: side and the gorillas will come down on the other
- 2:21:29Speaker 3: and they will have they'll like throw stuff at each
- 2:21:31Speaker 3: other across the river, and like it's like a whole
- 2:21:34Speaker 3: thing that it's been documented, and these guys will there's
- 2:21:36Speaker 3: sort of these like two clans of great apes that
- 2:21:39Speaker 3: come and communicate across the river and throw rocks and
- 2:21:42Speaker 3: like show off to each other and then they kind
- 2:21:44Speaker 3: of go back into the jungle. But it's been seen
- 2:21:46Speaker 3: in this one particular river several times.
- 2:21:49Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, it's like the real planet of the end.
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: What is a chimp wars? What are they?
- 2:21:53Speaker 5: Are?
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: They fighting over food?
- 2:21:55Speaker 1: Territory unless I'm mistaken.
- 2:21:57Speaker 3: It's relatively unknown, but it's it's sort of a social constructs.
- 2:22:00Speaker 3: So if you think of humans, for example, once our
- 2:22:04Speaker 3: population gets too large and we have too many men
- 2:22:06Speaker 3: and not enough women, we fight, right, We've seen that
- 2:22:09Speaker 3: throughout history, Roman times, Mongolian times, you name it. So
- 2:22:13Speaker 3: there is one troop of chimps that all live together
- 2:22:17Speaker 3: in relative harmony, and then two leaders basically sprung up,
- 2:22:21Speaker 3: and there was a lack of enough females, and so
- 2:22:24Speaker 3: all of a sudden, this clan divided into two clans,
- 2:22:27Speaker 3: and now they're at constant war with each other. Like
- 2:22:30Speaker 3: they live in the same relative territory, but they'll come
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: into contact with each other and go to war over
- 2:22:36Speaker 3: who's going to be the leader of the alpha troop
- 2:22:38Speaker 3: the mega troop, and it's been going for maybe a
- 2:22:41Speaker 3: year or two years now. Fuck yeah, but how human
- 2:22:44Speaker 3: is that?
- 2:22:45Speaker 1: So human? Like to be like, okay, we're all part
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: of this group.
- 2:22:48Speaker 3: Like you and I don't like each other, now, like
- 2:22:50Speaker 3: this is my side, that's your side, We're gonna fuck
- 2:22:52Speaker 3: each other up.
- 2:22:53Speaker 2: Study highlights friends with benefits relationship between gorillas and chimps.
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: What they're fucking each other.
- 2:22:58Speaker 4: Now it's the younger ones hanging out. It says, it's
- 2:23:00Speaker 4: I've probably in the same area they're meeting. Pictures of
- 2:23:03Speaker 4: them in the same tree. Yeah, I think this is
- 2:23:04Speaker 4: that River wants out of these trees.
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but friends with benefits general.
- 2:23:09Speaker 4: Benefits are Yeah, yeah, I was looking forward. That got
- 2:23:12Speaker 4: to what you're getting at.
- 2:23:13Speaker 1: But you don't really.
- 2:23:14Speaker 2: Say that with like you're like, why do you why
- 2:23:16Speaker 2: do you go to dinner with Bob?
- 2:23:17Speaker 1: Well, we're friends with benefit. Oh you're fucking Bob. Why
- 2:23:20Speaker 1: did you start fucking Bob Man? No, No, we just
- 2:23:23Speaker 1: like figs, both of us.
- 2:23:25Speaker 4: The chimpionzees though they caught them beating their chests, which
- 2:23:28Speaker 4: is only something grillas.
- 2:23:29Speaker 2: Every Yeah, they're they're imitating, mimicking each other. Yeah, I'm
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: sure you've seen that one documentary. I think it's called
- 2:23:39Speaker 2: Relentless Enemies, where there's a particular pride of lions that
- 2:23:43Speaker 2: grew enormous because they're only eating water buffaloes. They got
- 2:23:46Speaker 2: trapped on an island because the river change paths.
- 2:23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I I remember what you're talking about. I
- 2:23:51Speaker 3: don't know the documentary, but yeah, they're eating cape buffalo exclusively. Yeah,
- 2:23:55Speaker 3: and the lions are just getting bigger and beefier and
- 2:23:57Speaker 3: they're all fat and like, yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: Well, they have to get bigger. The females are doing
- 2:24:02Speaker 2: all the killing. Yeah, so they're as big as male
- 2:24:04Speaker 2: lions in other places.
- 2:24:05Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're jacked and they don't have a trouble yeah,
- 2:24:08Speaker 3: because otherwise they're gonna DIEI trying to hunt the k buffalo.
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: Yeah, but so we're watching natural selection in real time
- 2:24:15Speaker 2: because they just keep getting bigger and stronger. Yeah, and
- 2:24:18Speaker 2: you know they're like these fucking buffalo are enormous.
- 2:24:21Speaker 6: Man.
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: They're jumping on these things and hanging on them and
- 2:24:24Speaker 2: trying to drag them down to the ground.
- 2:24:25Speaker 1: The black Death, that's what they call the cape buffalo. Yeah.
- 2:24:28Speaker 2: Those motherfuckers are so scary.
- 2:24:30Speaker 1: So mean, so scary.
- 2:24:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'll charge so unprovoked, like they'll just turn
- 2:24:35Speaker 3: and come anytime. But it's, uh, it's crazy how you
- 2:24:38Speaker 3: have that basically insular dwarfism and insular gigantism throughout animals.
- 2:24:42Speaker 3: No matter like animals stuck on an island, they're either
- 2:24:45Speaker 3: going to get bigger, they're going to get small.
- 2:24:47Speaker 2: Well, lizards usually get big on an island, right.
- 2:24:49Speaker 1: Or tortoises, right, like the Galapagos or the Seychells. Yeah,
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: why why do they get bigger? No predators, unlimited resources.
- 2:24:56Speaker 4: Mm.
- 2:24:57Speaker 3: Yeah, So all of a sudden, you know, you're a
- 2:24:59Speaker 3: little tortoise. It's this big, and every time you get
- 2:25:01Speaker 3: to this big, something spots you from the air and
- 2:25:03Speaker 3: eats you or whatever it happens to be. But now
- 2:25:05Speaker 3: you're stuck on an island with all the grass and
- 2:25:08Speaker 3: fruit you could ever eat, and nobody wants to eat you,
- 2:25:10Speaker 3: so you just get bigger and bigger to outcompletely face.
- 2:25:16Speaker 1: Yeah, look at those guys.
- 2:25:17Speaker 2: I just imagine that's the only thing you can eat
- 2:25:20Speaker 2: is something three times bigger than you, and they can
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: fucking kill you.
- 2:25:24Speaker 1: That kills a lot of lions, by the way.
- 2:25:25Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well kick you in the face when you're
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: trying to take them out, and then that's it. Your
- 2:25:30Speaker 2: jaws broken and you never eat again and you starve
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: to death slowly.
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: I love the little cub there covered in blood. Look
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: at that.
- 2:25:37Speaker 2: It's a really cool documentary. Yeah, it seems so weird
- 2:25:41Speaker 2: when you're looking at the size of the females. They
- 2:25:44Speaker 2: just look exaggerated. To the point where they look fake.
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: They look like hulk lions.
- 2:25:49Speaker 1: It's awesome, It's very cool, very very cool.
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: Nature is such a wild thing, man, I mean, it's
- 2:25:54Speaker 2: such an amazing, fascinating, endless resource of just little shit
- 2:26:00Speaker 2: to see.
- 2:26:01Speaker 3: And our understanding of it changes all the time. Every
- 2:26:05Speaker 3: animal theory we've ever had evolves and changes as we
- 2:26:08Speaker 3: learn more, which is what makes it so fun because
- 2:26:10Speaker 3: it's so dynamic.
- 2:26:11Speaker 1: It's not a static thing.
- 2:26:13Speaker 2: What's just crazy that we keep finding new things like
- 2:26:15Speaker 2: the new primate. Well you find that little new monkey
- 2:26:18Speaker 2: that they found with.
- 2:26:18Speaker 1: The orange lips. He's really cool.
- 2:26:20Speaker 2: He's in the congo. Well, in the congo is another place.
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: It's like, what, yeah, I've seen sure, you've seen that
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: BBC documentary on the congo from it was like the
- 2:26:30Speaker 2: early two thousands. But look at them, well, weird looking guy,
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: so cool, so strange.
- 2:26:37Speaker 3: There's a few lost primates out there too, like species
- 2:26:40Speaker 3: that we've seen once or twice that have never been
- 2:26:42Speaker 3: seen since that.
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: Like what.
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: Miss Waldron's red colabus is one that comes to mind.
- 2:26:48Speaker 2: So it's called Miss Waldrons.
- 2:26:51Speaker 3: Just Waldron's red colubus, but it's a calabus monkey that
- 2:26:54Speaker 3: there's like three or four museum specimens and no live specimens.
- 2:26:59Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, uh huh, there's a few of those. Yeah,
- 2:27:01Speaker 1: oh miss Waldron's yeah, I read colabus.
- 2:27:04Speaker 2: Why is it called miss Waldron? I don't know who's
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: that lady?
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: Good question.
- 2:27:10Speaker 2: What do you have to do with this monkey? Lady?
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: After West Africa? Previously described as subspecies not been cited since.
- 2:27:16Speaker 1: Oh I saw it for a second.
- 2:27:17Speaker 2: And what's crazy is a lot of these animals, especially
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: primates and essentially anything that lives in the Congo, is
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: in a place that's so scary and so dangerous to visit. Yeah,
- 2:27:29Speaker 2: that's not a lot of research being done.
- 2:27:31Speaker 3: Well, that's always what I tell people when they're like, oh, well,
- 2:27:33Speaker 3: you know, find these animals.
- 2:27:34Speaker 1: Find that animals. Nobody's looking. It's too hard.
- 2:27:37Speaker 3: The local people know they're there, Like these lost species
- 2:27:40Speaker 3: are species that the people that hunt and eat them
- 2:27:42Speaker 3: know they're there, but they have no communication to the
- 2:27:44Speaker 3: outside of the scientific world. And you know, for you
- 2:27:48Speaker 3: or I to go into that part of the Congo
- 2:27:50Speaker 3: is probably a death sentence.
- 2:27:53Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but there's a lot of cool stuff out there.
- 2:27:57Speaker 2: Are there any other animals that might be that people
- 2:28:01Speaker 2: think they've seen.
- 2:28:03Speaker 3: As far as like cryptids, they should still be real
- 2:28:06Speaker 3: weird ones, oh man, like the giant sloth or something
- 2:28:09Speaker 3: like that. I mean, there's that whole like the dinosaur
- 2:28:11Speaker 3: and the congo thing that people always talk about.
- 2:28:13Speaker 1: It's silly, it's not real.
- 2:28:15Speaker 3: I mean, I I kin'dt think of any I I think,
- 2:28:18Speaker 3: you know, like went looking for that one. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:28:20Speaker 3: I actually that's one of your pods that I watched,
- 2:28:22Speaker 3: the whole thing and he was talking about that.
- 2:28:25Speaker 2: David's crazy.
- 2:28:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't think of any but you know, it's
- 2:28:30Speaker 3: it's those rumors, like there's a sloth, we've seen it.
- 2:28:33Speaker 3: There's an Asian unicorn, we've seen it. That if people
- 2:28:35Speaker 3: don't follow, you never know. It's like you can you
- 2:28:38Speaker 3: can absolutely be the tinfoil hat guy like I can
- 2:28:40Speaker 3: be with the Thylocene. But if you give up and
- 2:28:42Speaker 3: don't look, you know, we never really know.
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: And if it's gonna be, it will probably be in
- 2:28:48Speaker 2: a place like the Amazon or like the Congo, so
- 2:28:51Speaker 2: enormous place like the isn't the Congo as wide as
- 2:28:55Speaker 2: a contiguous North America the country or the river? I
- 2:28:59Speaker 2: think the country country of the Congo, the Congo. The
- 2:29:02Speaker 2: jungle of the Congo, I think is almost as big
- 2:29:05Speaker 2: as America.
- 2:29:07Speaker 1: I did not know is that large? Africa's fucking it's huge.
- 2:29:10Speaker 3: If you see because the United States imposed on Africa,
- 2:29:13Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, the continent of Africa is enormous.
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: Well, that's what's squirrely about maps, right, especially like when
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: you look at the globe, like everything's so distorted. Yeah,
- 2:29:22Speaker 2: which I don't understand why they do that. No, I've
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: never had that explained to me in a way that like,
- 2:29:27Speaker 2: oh I get it.
- 2:29:29Speaker 3: Or timelines. Have you ever looked at how like time
- 2:29:31Speaker 3: lines are drawn on the globe.
- 2:29:33Speaker 1: Like like you know, like the right.
- 2:29:38Speaker 3: Jigsaw puzzles and you're like, why is that island in
- 2:29:41Speaker 3: this time zone?
- 2:29:41Speaker 2: That's three slots over? Like no, yeah, but like see
- 2:29:47Speaker 2: if you can find the size of the Congo, Like
- 2:29:51Speaker 2: if you see the size of the Congo versus I
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: think it's almost as big as the United States.
- 2:29:57Speaker 1: Realize that it's the same.
- 2:29:59Speaker 3: Yeah, there there are the there's so many of these
- 2:30:01Speaker 3: incredible remotes.
- 2:30:02Speaker 2: It's thousands of miles wide. Okay, So if you took
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: that and you shoved it, why is it why isn't
- 2:30:11Speaker 2: put it over it, right, the bottom one. There is
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: a better one, bottom one. That one's better. So not
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: quite yeah, but it's still enormous. Yeah, it's like thirty
- 2:30:20Speaker 2: five percent.
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's more political unrest there now, which means
- 2:30:24Speaker 1: stuff shuts down.
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: I mean that's crazy. That's an enormous piece of one.
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: Look how big that is. You get all of India,
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: all of Eastern Europe, the United States, China, fucking crazy, France, Spain,
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: look at that.
- 2:30:36Speaker 1: It's a big place.
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: And the cradle of civilization, yep, the cradle of humanity
- 2:30:43Speaker 2: every then, also Egypt, that's that's also part of Africa.
- 2:30:47Speaker 3: You know about the eclipse coming up there? What biggest
- 2:30:50Speaker 3: one in history twenty twenty seven. Yeah, So in twenty
- 2:30:53Speaker 3: twenty seven, I want to say April there'll be a
- 2:30:55Speaker 3: six minute total blackout in Egypt, will be the longest
- 2:30:59Speaker 3: one in one hundred and something or maybe eighty something
- 2:31:02Speaker 3: years over the Red Sea in Egypt.
- 2:31:04Speaker 2: Oh, that's when you want to go see the pyramids.
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: Can you imagine when the Aliens is gonna return?
- 2:31:07Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, dude.
- 2:31:08Speaker 3: Can you imagine being at the Pyramids and seeing a
- 2:31:11Speaker 3: six minute long, six minute, twenty two second that's what
- 2:31:13Speaker 3: it's gonna look like. And it's in a place that
- 2:31:15Speaker 3: never has fucking clouds, so you're gonna see it. I
- 2:31:18Speaker 3: mean they do, but not that time of year. So yeah,
- 2:31:20Speaker 3: total solar eclipse for six and a half minutes.
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: So we had one here. Yeah, yeah, two.
- 2:31:25Speaker 2: Years ago, two years ago.
- 2:31:26Speaker 1: Jam, Yeah, it was really cool. How long did that
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: last year? I wasn't not that long, but yeah.
- 2:31:31Speaker 2: Like a couple yeah, a couple of minutes. What was
- 2:31:34Speaker 2: really cool about it, though, was that all the animals
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: got oddly silent before it happened.
- 2:31:39Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it was really weird, like they know something.
- 2:31:42Speaker 2: So we were outside waiting for it, and as the
- 2:31:46Speaker 2: you know, as the eclipse starts taking place.
- 2:31:48Speaker 1: Everything like, yeah, it was really wild, so crazy.
- 2:31:51Speaker 2: And then while it's happening, you're like whoa, and you
- 2:31:54Speaker 2: imagine like imagine living like thousands of years ago before
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: anybody understood what the fuck was going on and thinking
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: like some wild, magical moment had happened and we entered
- 2:32:05Speaker 2: into a new timeline or something.
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: You have all crazy theories.
- 2:32:08Speaker 3: I'd like, grab somebody, we got to sacrifice them right away.
- 2:32:10Speaker 3: Something's going over there. You get them to the period,
- 2:32:13Speaker 3: cut their heart out, yeah, straight away.
- 2:32:15Speaker 2: It's also it's like so weird that the sun and
- 2:32:18Speaker 2: the Moon are the exact right distance that when they cross,
- 2:32:23Speaker 2: the Moon just completely outlines where the i mean just
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: fills in everything but the light around the outside the edges.
- 2:32:33Speaker 2: Like how is it perfectly sized like that?
- 2:32:36Speaker 5: Oh?
- 2:32:36Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, No, it's just.
- 2:32:38Speaker 2: It's an incredible coincidence that it's the right distance and
- 2:32:42Speaker 2: the right size because obviously the moon is so much
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: smaller than the Sun, but perfectly distance the scale so
- 2:32:49Speaker 2: that when the Sun and the Moon is there, it's
- 2:32:51Speaker 2: like boom, it's like the right size, not like half
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, you know, it's perfect, Yeah, perfect, It
- 2:32:57Speaker 2: just sits right in there.
- 2:32:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an oreo in the cream. It's amazing.
- 2:33:01Speaker 1: The really screwball theories or that the moon is fake,
- 2:33:05Speaker 1: they never heard that way.
- 2:33:06Speaker 2: Yeah, the panda, the panda fake. There's nothing on the
- 2:33:09Speaker 2: moon being fake.
- 2:33:10Speaker 1: The moon is fake. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:33:11Speaker 2: They think that the moon is artificial and then it
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: was like put here by aliens and it's hollow.
- 2:33:17Speaker 1: You're kidding.
- 2:33:17Speaker 2: Oh no, no, that's a good one, and that it was
- 2:33:19Speaker 2: put here in order to sustain life on Earth, to
- 2:33:22Speaker 2: give us a stable orbit.
- 2:33:24Speaker 1: I mean it does do that.
- 2:33:25Speaker 2: It does do that. Yeah, yeah, because imagine like how
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: fragile life is. Like we're really concerned about climate change.
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: My god, just the climate changes. Well, guess what if
- 2:33:35Speaker 2: the fucking moon wasn't there, you'd be doomed nothing. There's
- 2:33:39Speaker 2: no way you need a big moon.
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: Too, controls all of our oceans and the.
- 2:33:44Speaker 2: Quarterer of the size of the Earth. It's a weird moon, Like,
- 2:33:48Speaker 2: I don't think there's another moon on in our entire
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: source system that's comparable in terms of like the size
- 2:33:55Speaker 2: and the relationship to the other planet planet. I think
- 2:33:57Speaker 2: it's way bigger than every other moon on. Let's find
- 2:34:00Speaker 2: that out, because I think that's pretty sure formulates the
- 2:34:03Speaker 2: conspiracy theory it was brought in. Oh interesting, there's also
- 2:34:07Speaker 2: we did something, some sort of experiment. We shot something
- 2:34:09Speaker 2: at the moon and it rang like a bell for
- 2:34:11Speaker 2: a long time, which.
- 2:34:13Speaker 1: Is really weird.
- 2:34:14Speaker 2: W Like, it echoed like way longer than we thought.
- 2:34:17Speaker 2: Of course, could just be they didn't know what it
- 2:34:19Speaker 2: would do because I've never done it before, right, and
- 2:34:22Speaker 2: they don't know, Like the fifth largest Moon in the
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: Solar System with a diameter of the width of the
- 2:34:29Speaker 2: contiguous United States. Well, it's dwarfed by Jupiter and Saturn's
- 2:34:32Speaker 2: largest moons. It's uniquely massive compared to its parent planet. Yeah,
- 2:34:35Speaker 2: that's what it is, making the Earth Moon system more
- 2:34:38Speaker 2: like a double planet. Yeah, so in relationship to the planet. Like,
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: it's so Jupiter and Saturn have huge moons, but Jupiter
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: obviously is fucking way bigger than us.
- 2:34:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:34:49Speaker 2: Yeah, we can look at the size of Jupiter in
- 2:34:52Speaker 2: comparison to the size of Earth.
- 2:34:54Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's the scale of the Moon to this too. Interesting.
- 2:34:59Speaker 3: That is a wild conspiracy theory. Imagine just being the guys, like,
- 2:35:02Speaker 3: you know what, why don't we shoot at the Moon.
- 2:35:04Speaker 3: Let's give that a whirl, see what happens.
- 2:35:06Speaker 2: Yeah, they did something, I think, I don't know what
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: they shot it with. I think they sent a rocket
- 2:35:11Speaker 2: to the Moon and just to measure the sound they
- 2:35:14Speaker 2: see what would happen. And it was odd. They found
- 2:35:18Speaker 2: it odd the way it rang. It rang like a bell.
- 2:35:21Speaker 2: But you know, it's like they've never done that before. Like, Also,
- 2:35:25Speaker 2: who knows what the fucking center of the Moon's made
- 2:35:27Speaker 2: out of?
- 2:35:28Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:35:28Speaker 2: Who knows where you hit it.
- 2:35:29Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 2:35:31Speaker 2: Maybe it's weird. You got some caves in there.
- 2:35:33Speaker 1: It's hollow.
- 2:35:34Speaker 2: Apollo experiments and the ringing effect. The phrase moon rang
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: like a bell comes from Apollo twelve. In nineteen sixty
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: nine November, NASA deliberately crashed the Lunar modules Ascent stage
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: onto the moon. Size siismometers recorded a long lasting vibrations
- 2:35:53Speaker 2: for nearly an hour. This description is a metaphor for
- 2:35:56Speaker 2: how dry, cold lunar rock reverberates with that water to
- 2:36:00Speaker 2: damp and the shop. Yeah, but retards and dorks.
- 2:36:05Speaker 1: So it's hollow. It's made by aliens.
- 2:36:08Speaker 2: And there's also people that think that, you know, there's
- 2:36:10Speaker 2: stuff there, like there's.
- 2:36:12Speaker 1: A monoling the cities on the moon and all that. Yeah,
- 2:36:15Speaker 1: on the other side that we can't see. Yeah, man
- 2:36:18Speaker 1: bases redd, it's a wild place. Huh.
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: This is not even Reddit. This is like you got
- 2:36:24Speaker 2: to go to like weird message boards. Crazy people go
- 2:36:27Speaker 2: it's deep.
- 2:36:27Speaker 1: Crazy, Yeah, people that.
- 2:36:28Speaker 2: Are what's that hollow moon? The hollow moon crossly related
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: to spaceship moon. Ah, that's the one. Our pseudo scientific
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: hypothesis that proposed the Earth's moon is either holy hollow
- 2:36:41Speaker 2: or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. No scientific evidence
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: exists to support the idea. Let's go to go to
- 2:36:48Speaker 2: spaceship moon because that seems even more interesting spaceship Moon.
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: Come on, baby, all these pseudo scientific the moon spaceship
- 2:37:05Speaker 2: includes historical Oh no, no.
- 2:37:06Speaker 4: No, I didn't notice what that means.
- 2:37:09Speaker 2: Spaceship moon theory. Try that theory a pseudo scientific hypothesis
- 2:37:18Speaker 2: proposing that Earth's moon is an artificial, hollowed out satellite
- 2:37:22Speaker 2: constructed by an alien civilization.
- 2:37:24Speaker 1: See it's like the Death Star.
- 2:37:26Speaker 2: There you go, bro, Well you need to get into
- 2:37:28Speaker 2: Like space is fake, that's even better is popular popularized
- 2:37:34Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy by two Soviet scientists, Mikhail Vassine and
- 2:37:39Speaker 2: Alexander Or.
- 2:37:41Speaker 1: How about that works?
- 2:37:42Speaker 2: Yep, shirk shirk, but sir called shirk Kerbakov, who suggested
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: the moon was reinforced by an armored titanium hull to
- 2:37:52Speaker 2: survive impacts.
- 2:37:54Speaker 1: Oh man, people need more to do. No, they don't
- 2:37:57Speaker 1: you like that?
- 2:37:58Speaker 2: I love I love the kookie the better.
- 2:38:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:38:01Speaker 2: Like hashtag space is fake is one of my favorite
- 2:38:03Speaker 2: things to look up because there's a whole community of
- 2:38:05Speaker 2: people out there that think space is fake. But I
- 2:38:08Speaker 2: also think that a lot of these people. What you're
- 2:38:10Speaker 2: getting is there's been some there's been some people who
- 2:38:15Speaker 2: develop fake theories in order to see if people bite
- 2:38:19Speaker 2: and then and then they put them out there, like
- 2:38:21Speaker 2: on Reddit or somewhere on four Chan. Four Chan is
- 2:38:23Speaker 2: a great place and stuff like that, because you've got
- 2:38:25Speaker 2: a lot of schizophrenics that like to visit those places
- 2:38:27Speaker 2: and then they'll put it out there and see if
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: people run with it, and then they'll do it to
- 2:38:31Speaker 2: see if just for fun.
- 2:38:32Speaker 3: And he gives you a community, right, It's like, oh, yeah,
- 2:38:35Speaker 3: I have this group of flat earthers that I hang
- 2:38:37Speaker 3: out with on Saturdays and we talk about how the
- 2:38:39Speaker 3: Earth's not round, you know what I mean. It's like
- 2:38:41Speaker 3: I've I made my own lunatic community.
- 2:38:44Speaker 2: Bigfoot hunters, same thing. There you go, unable, Yeah, the
- 2:38:48Speaker 2: unfluggible white guys looking for cryptids something to do. Are
- 2:38:53Speaker 2: there any other cryptids that are even remotely interesting.
- 2:38:57Speaker 1: To me? Not really?
- 2:38:58Speaker 3: I mean I always enjoy the fun of it, like
- 2:39:00Speaker 3: when we chat about it, but as far as like
- 2:39:02Speaker 3: the reality of it, I don't think so, you know,
- 2:39:05Speaker 3: I know, it's a boring answer.
- 2:39:06Speaker 1: But I think that well you would know. I mean,
- 2:39:08Speaker 1: that's why I'm asking you.
- 2:39:10Speaker 2: Your guy actually goes to these places, I mean goes
- 2:39:12Speaker 2: looking for stuff.
- 2:39:13Speaker 3: I love when you hear about something like a borrowing
- 2:39:16Speaker 3: snake and everybody's like, that's not real, it doesn't exist,
- 2:39:19Speaker 3: and then turns out somebody finds this weird snake and
- 2:39:22Speaker 3: it's not really a encryptid, but it's something that nobody's
- 2:39:24Speaker 3: been looking for, because why would you write, nobody's digging
- 2:39:27Speaker 3: in the earth in the center of the congo to
- 2:39:29Speaker 3: find a mud snake, you know, or whatever it happens
- 2:39:32Speaker 3: to be. And I think those are the things that
- 2:39:34Speaker 3: they end up being cryptied in small communities, you know,
- 2:39:37Speaker 3: like you hear from the village about the snake. I'm
- 2:39:40Speaker 3: making the snake up, but about the snake that lives
- 2:39:42Speaker 3: under the mud and only bites when people dig their crops,
- 2:39:44Speaker 3: or whatever it happens to be, and it creates this
- 2:39:48Speaker 3: generational legend that becomes a cryptid. But the truth is,
- 2:39:51Speaker 3: there is a snake that lives under the crops in
- 2:39:53Speaker 3: the mud. It's just nobody ever goes looking for it,
- 2:39:55Speaker 3: because why would you, Well, there is a.
- 2:39:57Speaker 2: Weird arrogance that we have and only twenty six because
- 2:40:01Speaker 2: we have uncovered so much in comparison to people that
- 2:40:05Speaker 2: live two or three hundred years ago. So we have
- 2:40:08Speaker 2: this maybe arrogant assumption that we have an accurate audit
- 2:40:12Speaker 2: of all the animals on the planet.
- 2:40:14Speaker 3: And it's such a human thing to do is to
- 2:40:18Speaker 3: be like, we've quantified it all, we have the answers. Yeah,
- 2:40:21Speaker 3: you know, it's like we put a finite on something.
- 2:40:24Speaker 3: And then you have all these guys, like especially in
- 2:40:26Speaker 3: the scientific community, which is that's a whole story for himself.
- 2:40:30Speaker 3: But they're now like, Okay, I need funding, so I'm
- 2:40:32Speaker 3: going to speciate a bunch of stuff. So I'm gonna
- 2:40:34Speaker 3: go look at four things that are exactly the same,
- 2:40:36Speaker 3: except one lives on one side of the creek and
- 2:40:38Speaker 3: one lives on the other. And now I'm gonna make
- 2:40:40Speaker 3: it its own species because that'll fund more work for me.
- 2:40:43Speaker 1: So now you have this speciation race.
- 2:40:46Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no gatekeeping on that where someone goes, hey.
- 2:40:50Speaker 3: I mean, there are certain criteria that you have to meet,
- 2:40:53Speaker 3: but they're pretty easy to meet, do you know what
- 2:40:55Speaker 3: I mean? You have to say it looks different it
- 2:40:56Speaker 3: has some kind of genetic anomaly, it has some kind
- 2:40:58Speaker 3: of physical anomaly, there's a population of it. Okay, now
- 2:41:02Speaker 3: I've named my own species and that makes noise, and
- 2:41:06Speaker 3: I can publish a paper and now my research is funded,
- 2:41:09Speaker 3: and it's just like, it's not, you know, is it
- 2:41:12Speaker 3: a species? Did we need this one frog to be
- 2:41:16Speaker 3: split into four different groups because they live on you know,
- 2:41:18Speaker 3: four different patches of the mountain. Not really, you know,
- 2:41:21Speaker 3: And it sort of lessens the conservation for that frog
- 2:41:24Speaker 3: in general, because now all of a sudden, it's like, well,
- 2:41:27Speaker 3: there's four different kinds of them, so who cares if
- 2:41:29Speaker 3: one of them gets extinct?
- 2:41:30Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 2:41:30Speaker 3: So it's sort of like it's a weird thing that's
- 2:41:33Speaker 3: going on in the sciences where there's this race to
- 2:41:35Speaker 3: do speciation and pull apart everything into more and more
- 2:41:39Speaker 3: and more, and then it sort of lessens the value
- 2:41:41Speaker 3: of them in my opinion.
- 2:41:43Speaker 1: That's interesting.
- 2:41:44Speaker 2: So there's this reward thing that happens that encourages people
- 2:41:51Speaker 2: to do these things.
- 2:41:51Speaker 1: Dude, I'm writing a whole book on this right now.
- 2:41:53Speaker 1: It's coming out next year.
- 2:41:54Speaker 3: Because it's just the scientific system in wildlife and conservation
- 2:41:57Speaker 3: is so broken because it's very First of all, the
- 2:42:01Speaker 3: first of all, if you're an animal guy, you're probably
- 2:42:04Speaker 3: not a great people person to begin with, right, myself included,
- 2:42:08Speaker 3: you're not a bad people person, thanks. But for the
- 2:42:11Speaker 3: most part, the people that get into the sciences probably
- 2:42:14Speaker 3: are don't have the best Yeah, they're awkward, they don't
- 2:42:16Speaker 3: have the best human social skills. Right, So then those
- 2:42:19Speaker 3: people become professors and heads of parties and academics and
- 2:42:22Speaker 3: all these things. And again i'm generalizing. There are great
- 2:42:25Speaker 3: people that I work with too, but just as just
- 2:42:26Speaker 3: a picture of the system. So now you have all
- 2:42:29Speaker 3: these socially awkward, somewhat introverted people studying animals. Now there's
- 2:42:33Speaker 3: this tiny little resource pool of money, and everybody that's
- 2:42:37Speaker 3: socially awkward, that's already somewhat arrogant because they've made it
- 2:42:40Speaker 3: to the top of their field or close to the
- 2:42:42Speaker 3: top of their field, is competing for this tiny little
- 2:42:45Speaker 3: pool of money. So now they're putting out anything that's
- 2:42:48Speaker 3: headline worthy, and a headline worthy could be as simple
- 2:42:50Speaker 3: as speciating a frog on a mountain, or it could
- 2:42:53Speaker 3: be discovering something. But basically you have to just publish
- 2:42:56Speaker 3: something to show that you are accomplishing something to pull
- 2:43:00Speaker 3: from that tiny little pool of money. So now a
- 2:43:03Speaker 3: system like say you mean and Jamie here should all
- 2:43:05Speaker 3: be working towards saving this guy right here, this metal
- 2:43:08Speaker 3: metal chimpanzee. Well we're not. We're all fighting because there's
- 2:43:12Speaker 3: this tiny little pool of money that we all want,
- 2:43:14Speaker 3: and we're all saying that each other are wrong because
- 2:43:17Speaker 3: we need to prove that we're right so that we're
- 2:43:19Speaker 3: funded because you two, because all three of us can't
- 2:43:21Speaker 3: be funded to save that species.
- 2:43:23Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
- 2:43:24Speaker 3: So now we're all fighting each other to save the
- 2:43:26Speaker 3: thing that we all care about because the resource.
- 2:43:28Speaker 1: Pool is so So what's the solution to that?
- 2:43:31Speaker 3: Well, it needs to become more mainstream. And I think
- 2:43:34Speaker 3: there's a lot of bullshit science, you know, to be
- 2:43:36Speaker 3: honest with you, like, there's a lot of this speciation
- 2:43:39Speaker 3: and publishing and all this stuff that's just sort of
- 2:43:42Speaker 3: making noise that isn't really helping. And I think the
- 2:43:45Speaker 3: solution is well one once it becomes more mainstream. Here's
- 2:43:50Speaker 3: here's the short answer. Conservation is incredibly easy to measure.
- 2:43:53Speaker 3: We try and make it very difficult and complicated. Are
- 2:43:56Speaker 3: there animals now after your work, are there more? Have
- 2:44:00Speaker 3: you fixed the problem? That's all conservation is, right, Are
- 2:44:04Speaker 3: are there more or less than when you started? If
- 2:44:06Speaker 3: when you started there a less and now there are more.
- 2:44:08Speaker 3: And this is very black and white, and every system's different.
- 2:44:11Speaker 3: But if you had a thousand frogs and then you
- 2:44:14Speaker 3: worked on the project, now you have two thousand frogs,
- 2:44:16Speaker 3: you're doing conservation right, as long as the ecosystem supports,
- 2:44:19Speaker 3: as long as the.
- 2:44:19Speaker 1: Prey is there.
- 2:44:20Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. That's all conservation is. We
- 2:44:24Speaker 3: try and make it so complicated and so in depth
- 2:44:27Speaker 3: and require all these papers and this publishing and this
- 2:44:30Speaker 3: information that is sort of an information overload that the
- 2:44:33Speaker 3: common person doesn't care about it. I mean, when's the
- 2:44:36Speaker 3: last time you read a paper on frogs? Probably never right,
- 2:44:40Speaker 3: me neither because they're boring, because I don't want to
- 2:44:42Speaker 3: care about it. But I would care if you just
- 2:44:44Speaker 3: came out and said, look, these frogs need a home.
- 2:44:47Speaker 3: We're gonna fight kittrid fungus, which is this big widespread
- 2:44:50Speaker 3: fungus that's killing all amphibians by building frog hotels. And
- 2:44:53Speaker 3: if we build which are these little brick hotel things
- 2:44:55Speaker 3: that frogs go into incubate to kill a fungus, and
- 2:44:58Speaker 3: if we build enough frog hotels then and there's going
- 2:45:00Speaker 3: to be more frugs. That's good conservation. So instead of
- 2:45:03Speaker 3: fighting over that, make that popular in mainstream. Don't make
- 2:45:06Speaker 3: it so complicated so that nobody understands. I'm not saying
- 2:45:09Speaker 3: don't publish papers and things. Those still very much so
- 2:45:11Speaker 3: have their place and they're important. But focus on the
- 2:45:13Speaker 3: messaging to the common person. So the common person now cares,
- 2:45:17Speaker 3: then there becomes more funding and resources. Then we don't
- 2:45:20Speaker 3: all have to fight over this tiny little pool of
- 2:45:22Speaker 3: resources to publish things that aren't actually accomplishing things.
- 2:45:26Speaker 2: Well, this is actually the value of getting into a
- 2:45:28Speaker 2: crocodile cage, that's right, because you get people actually so
- 2:45:31Speaker 2: interested in animals.
- 2:45:33Speaker 1: And that's why I do YouTube.
- 2:45:35Speaker 3: That's why I do all these things, is that I
- 2:45:37Speaker 3: hope that it helps people care. I don't need to
- 2:45:39Speaker 3: get funded by it. Like it's great when my YouTube
- 2:45:41Speaker 3: does well and I make money, but like, I just
- 2:45:43Speaker 3: want people to care about these things, because if you
- 2:45:45Speaker 3: care about them, then that resource pool widens.
- 2:45:48Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's you got to make things interesting to people, right,
- 2:45:52Speaker 2: And This is where like David Attenborough was so amazing
- 2:45:55Speaker 2: because absolutely right, because he developed these documentaries and so
- 2:46:00Speaker 2: the voice that he had was explaining these things mind making.
- 2:46:04Speaker 2: He was the first guy to document Chimpanze's eating monkeys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 2:46:07Speaker 2: I remember that.
- 2:46:08Speaker 3: Incredible. That was incredible, coldest stuff. He's the goat, literally.
- 2:46:12Speaker 2: But you kind of that's another thing about being a
- 2:46:15Speaker 2: wildlife biologist. You kind of have to get your hands dirty.
- 2:46:18Speaker 1: You have to.
- 2:46:19Speaker 2: You got to get in there.
- 2:46:20Speaker 3: And the other part of the system that's so broken
- 2:46:23Speaker 3: is a lot of these world leading experts have never
- 2:46:26Speaker 3: touched seen anything with a living one of these animals.
- 2:46:30Speaker 3: I worked with a person and I don't want to
- 2:46:32Speaker 3: say her name, because she's a lovely person who's a
- 2:46:34Speaker 3: world leading expert on a certain type of shark. And
- 2:46:37Speaker 3: we're like, great, you're the world's leading authority. You're perfect
- 2:46:40Speaker 3: to come with us on this trip to study these sharks.
- 2:46:43Speaker 3: We fly to the opposite side of the planet, and
- 2:46:45Speaker 3: I want to give too many details, it's not fair
- 2:46:46Speaker 3: to her. She's a very next person. We fly to
- 2:46:48Speaker 3: the opposite side of the planet. She's published fifty papers
- 2:46:51Speaker 3: on this species of shark, and we get there and
- 2:46:54Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, day one, let's gear up, let's
- 2:46:56Speaker 3: hop in the water and look for this thing.
- 2:46:57Speaker 1: She's like, oh, I don't know how to swim. Like
- 2:46:59Speaker 1: what do you mean.
- 2:47:00Speaker 3: She's like, ah, I've never been in the ocean before. Like,
- 2:47:02Speaker 3: you're the world's leading authority on this type of shark.
- 2:47:05Speaker 3: And she's like, yeah, yeah, I don't dive, I don't snorkel,
- 2:47:07Speaker 3: I don't know how to swim. I'm like, well, how
- 2:47:09Speaker 3: are you the world's leading authority on the shark. She's like, well,
- 2:47:11Speaker 3: I've never seen one alive. I've dissected them, I've published
- 2:47:14Speaker 3: all these papers. I can tell you about the tooth count,
- 2:47:16Speaker 3: but I've actually never seen one alive. Like, you're the
- 2:47:18Speaker 3: world's leading authority and you've never seen one of these
- 2:47:21Speaker 3: animals alive to study it. The guy who fishes and
- 2:47:25Speaker 3: eats it in the village next door is more of
- 2:47:27Speaker 3: an authority than this person, do.
- 2:47:28Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But that's the scientific process.
- 2:47:31Speaker 3: The world's leading authority because they've published the most papers
- 2:47:34Speaker 3: on something that sits in a pickle jar?
- 2:47:36Speaker 2: Do you think that that is an absolute requirement though? Like,
- 2:47:39Speaker 2: do you have to have some sort of physical contact
- 2:47:43Speaker 2: with the world that they live in.
- 2:47:45Speaker 1: I think you have to have observational knowledge.
- 2:47:47Speaker 3: You don't have to have physical contact, Like you shouldn't
- 2:47:50Speaker 3: have physical contact with wild chimpanzees, they'll rip your arms, right.
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: But I mean the world they live in. I do.
- 2:47:55Speaker 1: I think it should be a requirement.
- 2:47:57Speaker 3: I think if you're going to be considered an authority
- 2:47:59Speaker 3: on that thing, you have to have observational data as
- 2:48:02Speaker 3: well as scientific data. You can't just live in a
- 2:48:05Speaker 3: world where you're like, I've studied them in pickle jars
- 2:48:07Speaker 3: and I can tell you everything about them.
- 2:48:09Speaker 1: Well.
- 2:48:09Speaker 2: To me, that was like one of the most fascinating
- 2:48:11Speaker 2: aspects of chimp nation. You know that these scientists had
- 2:48:14Speaker 2: been embedded with these particular chimpanzees for more than twenty years.
- 2:48:19Speaker 1: That's science. Yeah, that is science. That means you are
- 2:48:22Speaker 1: sitting there.
- 2:48:22Speaker 3: And that's why the best scientists are the guys that
- 2:48:25Speaker 3: hunt and fish and spend their life surrounded by these
- 2:48:28Speaker 3: animals that will never once be credited as a scientist
- 2:48:31Speaker 3: because all they do is study the behavior of the animal.
- 2:48:34Speaker 3: And I'm with you, like that is that's the real deal.
- 2:48:37Speaker 3: Twenty years watching a troop of chimps, learning their behavior,
- 2:48:41Speaker 3: understanding their social dynamic. I'm not saying you shouldn't also
- 2:48:44Speaker 3: cut one open and measure its canines. You should when
- 2:48:47Speaker 3: you get a dead one, but that doesn't make you
- 2:48:50Speaker 3: an authority on it in my opinion.
- 2:48:52Speaker 2: Well, that was the thing about that particular documentary, in
- 2:48:55Speaker 2: those particular scientists, was so unusual that they had this
- 2:48:59Speaker 2: long history where these chimpanzees had lived and died and
- 2:49:02Speaker 2: raised new chimps around these people, and as long as
- 2:49:05Speaker 2: they follow this protocol, stay within you know, twenty yards
- 2:49:09Speaker 2: at least twenty yards away from them, never have food
- 2:49:11Speaker 2: around them, don't look them in the eyes. You're good, yep.
- 2:49:14Speaker 2: And you got insane footage because of that.
- 2:49:17Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's a mutual respect, Like they've learned to
- 2:49:21Speaker 3: appreciate each other.
- 2:49:22Speaker 1: And you can't do that with every animal.
- 2:49:23Speaker 3: Like it doesn't matter how many years you spend sitting
- 2:49:26Speaker 3: watching a crocodile, it will still eat you at the
- 2:49:27Speaker 3: first checks I gets. But you've earned a mutual respect
- 2:49:31Speaker 3: with a highly intelligent creature. That to me, as a
- 2:49:35Speaker 3: field biologist, is science. That's incredible.
- 2:49:38Speaker 2: If not a respect, at the very least you've become
- 2:49:41Speaker 2: a part of their world to the point where they
- 2:49:43Speaker 2: don't think of you as being an anomaly. That's right,
- 2:49:46Speaker 2: So they are normal yep, where they're they're not. They're
- 2:49:49Speaker 2: not weirded out. Like if you just show up out
- 2:49:51Speaker 2: of nowhere and you wear in a space suit, the monkey's.
- 2:49:54Speaker 1: Gonna go exactly exact this new thing.
- 2:49:57Speaker 2: But if there's always people with spacesuits around, they never
- 2:50:00Speaker 2: bother them. They go, oh, it's just the spacesuit guy. Normal,
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: it's just gonna eat my bananas like normal.
- 2:50:05Speaker 3: It's the same as seeing you know, and im Paula
- 2:50:07Speaker 3: and a Wildeby's hang out together at a watering hole.
- 2:50:10Speaker 3: They're used to each other. They know they're not threats
- 2:50:12Speaker 3: to each other. But you or I walk up and
- 2:50:14Speaker 3: both of their ears perk up and they sprint in
- 2:50:15Speaker 3: different directions. Yeah, you can have that time put in
- 2:50:20Speaker 3: to make things calm.
- 2:50:21Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 2:50:22Speaker 2: But I mean, has there ever been anything other than
- 2:50:24Speaker 2: chimp Nation where they did that that effectively.
- 2:50:27Speaker 1: I mean, the Grizzly Man sure.
- 2:50:28Speaker 2: Tried didn't end well or did it? Yeah, it probably
- 2:50:34Speaker 2: ended the way he wanted it to.
- 2:50:36Speaker 1: Honestly, there's no way he could have wanted to go
- 2:50:38Speaker 1: out any other way.
- 2:50:39Speaker 2: I think I think that was suicide by bear.
- 2:50:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:50:42Speaker 2: I also think it was Werner Herzog's attempt at comedy.
- 2:50:46Speaker 1: You think.
- 2:50:46Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something about the way he edited it where
- 2:50:49Speaker 2: I'm like.
- 2:50:50Speaker 1: This guy's fucking with us.
- 2:50:52Speaker 2: Because there's one time where he's talking about the sheriff
- 2:50:54Speaker 2: and they asked the sheriff, like what you thought of them,
- 2:50:56Speaker 2: and the sheriff goes, well, I thought he was retarded,
- 2:50:59Speaker 2: and smash cut to something else. I'm like, you're trying
- 2:51:03Speaker 2: to make me laugh.
- 2:51:04Speaker 1: It's pretty funny.
- 2:51:05Speaker 2: I've wanted to try to get him on the podcast. Yeah,
- 2:51:07Speaker 2: that's gonna be one of the he probably never answer,
- 2:51:09Speaker 2: honestly because it would probably be disrespectful to Timothy Treadwell
- 2:51:13Speaker 2: and you got. I would love to get him on
- 2:51:16Speaker 2: just because he's amazing, and also his documentary Happy People
- 2:51:20Speaker 2: Life in the Tiger is one of my favorite documentaries
- 2:51:22Speaker 2: of all time.
- 2:51:23Speaker 1: Oh really, I don't know it. It's good.
- 2:51:24Speaker 2: It's all about these people that live in Siberia and
- 2:51:27Speaker 2: they have like no mental illness, and all they do
- 2:51:30Speaker 2: is they live a assistance lifestyle. They're just hunting and
- 2:51:33Speaker 2: fishing and trapping, and they ride around on snowmobiles and
- 2:51:37Speaker 2: they make these huts and they live up there with
- 2:51:39Speaker 2: their dogs and they have this extended periods of time
- 2:51:42Speaker 2: where they're alone and all they're doing is like taking
- 2:51:45Speaker 2: their snowmobiles to different traps and gathering wood for fire
- 2:51:50Speaker 2: and fish to eat. It's and they're all happy and
- 2:51:53Speaker 2: they're drinking and laughing, and they're like, it's weird because
- 2:51:58Speaker 2: he documents it. It's called happy People. That's what interest
- 2:52:02Speaker 2: the documentary that's called. And it's like with his like
- 2:52:06Speaker 2: the way he describes these people living in Sibedia, Nice Siberia. Amazing. Oh,
- 2:52:14Speaker 2: it's really amazing. It's amazing documentary. I think he's incredible.
- 2:52:18Speaker 3: I have said forever you don't all look. Mental illness
- 2:52:23Speaker 3: are real thing. I'm not gonna pretend it's not. But
- 2:52:24Speaker 3: if you spend a lot of time outside and in
- 2:52:27Speaker 3: nature and especially by yourself, the noise goes away. I
- 2:52:31Speaker 3: don't care who you are, I don't care what your
- 2:52:33Speaker 3: history is, drug history anything. When you you're much more
- 2:52:37Speaker 3: present when you're alone in nature and mental illness. I
- 2:52:42Speaker 3: have no experience in this. This is just opinion, but
- 2:52:44Speaker 3: mental illness comes from when you're wrapped up in your
- 2:52:46Speaker 3: own being, right when you're thinking about all the problems
- 2:52:50Speaker 3: and this, that and the other thing. But when you're
- 2:52:51Speaker 3: alone in nature, you have to think about your surroundings
- 2:52:54Speaker 3: and what you're doing, and you don't have time to
- 2:52:57Speaker 3: sit and manifest on these things that create the depression
- 2:53:00Speaker 3: and anxiety and all of those types of things.
- 2:53:02Speaker 1: There's also no comparison.
- 2:53:04Speaker 2: You're not comparing yourself to anyone else because you're living
- 2:53:07Speaker 2: in a community that are a assistance lifestyle people. All
- 2:53:10Speaker 2: these people are doing the same thing you're doing. What
- 2:53:13Speaker 2: are you gonna do? You're gonna have the biggest fishbody cares.
- 2:53:15Speaker 2: It's all hunting, fishing right, living off the land. They
- 2:53:19Speaker 2: all do it, and they're all like sharing and drinking
- 2:53:22Speaker 2: together and having fun.
- 2:53:23Speaker 1: It's really wild. When you watch it, you go.
- 2:53:25Speaker 2: God boiled down to like the most simplistic, community driven
- 2:53:30Speaker 2: ways that people exist like this like seems to be
- 2:53:34Speaker 2: the best way for people to live.
- 2:53:35Speaker 3: But like you said earlier, you have to have both
- 2:53:38Speaker 3: sides right of the coin. It's like the red and
- 2:53:40Speaker 3: Blue in Texas, because you have to have innovators and
- 2:53:42Speaker 3: overthinkers and workers or it wouldn't be a society, or.
- 2:53:45Speaker 2: By the way, they wouldn't exist because they use snowmobiles
- 2:53:48Speaker 2: and not one of those motherfuckers is going to invent.
- 2:53:50Speaker 1: A snomobile exactly. So you gotta have the red and
- 2:53:53Speaker 1: the blue. You gotta have both sides.
- 2:53:54Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, that's awesome. Well, hey, brother, it's always
- 2:53:58Speaker 2: good to talk to you. It's really fun fun. What
- 2:54:01Speaker 2: is this You and the crocodile. Oh my god, dude,
- 2:54:03Speaker 2: you had he didn't tell me you put meat all
- 2:54:05Speaker 2: around the outside of it.
- 2:54:06Speaker 1: Told you as an idiot. Look at this. We made
- 2:54:09Speaker 1: that cage, by the way, and I am no engineer.
- 2:54:12Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at the caves.
- 2:54:13Speaker 2: Looks so flimsy. That thing looks so flimsy. And you're
- 2:54:19Speaker 2: just hanging by a.
- 2:54:20Speaker 3: Thread literally, like this cable that we sourced from a
- 2:54:23Speaker 3: village and hoped it would hold up. I mean, we
- 2:54:26Speaker 3: tested it as far as put some rocks in it
- 2:54:28Speaker 3: and tested it in empty cage.
- 2:54:29Speaker 2: But this is a terrible idea.
- 2:54:31Speaker 1: It was dumb. It was dumb. Look at these things
- 2:54:33Speaker 1: doing death rolls. But people are gonna watch this, Joe,
- 2:54:35Speaker 1: and they're gonna learn about crocodile. Everything you filmed it right.
- 2:54:38Speaker 2: God man, that's insane. That was fun that that cage
- 2:54:43Speaker 2: looks way too flimsy. Don't do that again.
- 2:54:45Speaker 1: I'm not doing it again. I promise.
- 2:54:47Speaker 2: Tell people how they can see that, Where where they
- 2:54:49Speaker 2: can find all your stuff?
- 2:54:50Speaker 1: Dude, it's Shark Week.
- 2:54:51Speaker 3: We got an awesome show coming out this week, Alien
- 2:54:54Speaker 3: Sharks Untamed America looking at some incredible sharks celebrating America's birthday,
- 2:54:59Speaker 3: Our craziest, weirdest sharks.
- 2:55:00Speaker 1: How long is Shark Week?
- 2:55:02Speaker 2: Has been going on since the eighties, thirty nine years old,
- 2:55:05Speaker 2: same age as me.
- 2:55:06Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been around my whole life.
- 2:55:10Speaker 2: That is so crazy.
- 2:55:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an institution. Plus, we got the YouTube channel.
- 2:55:15Speaker 3: That's where I'm doing most of my stuff now. I
- 2:55:16Speaker 3: hope people check out. I know you watch some videos. Yes,
- 2:55:19Speaker 3: I've heard you comment. I appreciate that. Oh, I appreciate you.
- 2:55:21Speaker 3: I appreciate you doing that stuff.
- 2:55:22Speaker 1: Man. Thanks for having me, dude. Always great to see
- 2:55:25Speaker 1: you again. All right, bye everybody. Yeah,
