Squids Games!

and death, So welcome to the game. Contestant number one, who is podcaster, comedian and totally read the fine print. Molly Lambert, Hello, Hello, Contestant number two, a comedy writer for One Dog and can totally hold her breath underwater for ten minutes. Lydia bug Hi, thanks for having me. And Contestant number three, who is podcast legend, has eight arms and two tentacles. D J. Daniel Goodman Hello, Hello,

happy to be here. Please everybody grab your track suits, flippers and floaties because it is time to play squid games, you know, with real squids like I was expecting to see in the show, but they didn't do for some reason. So you all signed the contract and you read all the fine print, and the fine fine print and the superfine print, right, Ye, totally all right. I just strolled through and hit except but I'm very I'm very confident with my decision. I skimmed it. I assume there's nothing

really dangerous and deadly in there that I've just feeled. No, no, it just it just indemnifies me in case of like sucker related death. So it's fine, don't worry about it. So what are you How do you guys? What are your attitudes towards squids? I mean, I think you're all familiar with the hit show Squid Game, but what about real squids, you know, slippery in the ocean, slowing around squids. I'll go ahead and jump in here. This is Molly.

I'm a big squid fan. I like anything that seems alien to the human eye, but also we seem alien to it. And I was just telling Katie before the show about, um, sorry, there's a garbage truck. Oh no, maybe the games have begun truck, I was telling Katie.

I read an article on Live Science, the science news aggregator that really stayed with me about a giant female squid that was found that they expected to find sperm packets from lots of male giant squid, but there was only sperm packets from one male giant squid, which raised the idea in my mind of weather giant squid of each other, uh, experience like jealousy and other emotions that we didn't necessarily think squid had, but why wouldn't they And then all this happens like a billion feet below

us where we never get to see it. I find very cool squid monogamy that's really sweet and heartfelt, which definitely the rest of the show will also be Oh what about you, guys? You like squids, dislike squids, neutral about squids. I'm terrified of squids. I just I don't like anything where when you meet it, you're on it's turf and not yours, you know. So any sea creature, yeah, like it's it's suspect to me, just any sea creature, and a squid especially, like it's just too scary. I

think they can fight sharks. I feel like in the movies there's like, uh, I don't know if this is just me remembering this from one thing that I saw, but I feel like it's a trope of like someone in the water seeing a shark and being like, oh, no, and then a squid coming up and like wrestling it. I don't know this trope. It sounds great though, I love it. Yeah, in my head, it's an extremely common trop.

I'll go ahead and say I learned that that never happens, and that squid are portrayed in a lot of maritime fiction is like attacking whales and fighting with whales, and there's the squid in the whale and the Natural History Museum in New York. But in real life, squid never attack whales, and squid are pretty chill. It seems they've been framed. They have been framed. They were made to look like krack in but it's like they, like whales, don't ever like attack human ships. Well, that is a relief.

I like your confidence, Molly. I hope that stays with you throughout the squid games. I think the squid's hired Molly as a pr person totally makes sense. Now, surely my confidence won't come to bite me in the I'm trying to think of a squid thing lash me, suck you in the butt, bite you with the squid squid beak? Yeah, do squids have beaks like like octopus? To yes, squids do have beaks. They have very sharp Well, do not want to get squid beaked? I'll say that. So are

you guys ready for our first game? Yeah, that's about ten percent of the enthusiasm that I want. But okay, there we go. There it is. So it's pretty simple. You just have to pick a cephalopod to hang out with inside a tub. You know, it's just chilling in the tub with a cephalopod of your choice. So chose correctly and you'll have a great time. Choose incorrectly and maybe less of a great time. So you see three tanks in front of you, each with some kind of

cephal pod inside. Now I know I'm calling this squid game, but these are three different types of cephalopod. They're all related and uh. In the first tank is a teeny tiny cuddlefish. It's about one inch big three centimeters and as a bright purplely iridescent blue like a swimming hummingbird. Uh, if you got I actually have images of these that you guys can see in your document um. In the second tank is a slightly bigger but still itty bitty octopus.

It's about six inches or fifteen centimeters big, has yellowish skin and beautiful, bright blue spots like a peacock. And the third tank is a large squid. It's over five ft or one point five meters long, and it's flashing red and white like some kind of horrifying Christmas light. So the clock is ticking. Who do you take a swim with? I'm going cuttlefish? Alright, so Daniels going cuttlefish. Cuttlefish has been claimed. Can you repeat the three options again? Yes?

I can, because I'm a lot nicer than the people in squid Game, which probably would have gotten shot for that very well. In the first tank at teeny tiny cuttlefish about an inch long, bright purplely iridescent blue and looks kind of like a swimming humming bird. In the second tank a pretty little octopus. It's about six inches big, has big, bright, beautiful spots like a peacock. And in the third tank is a large squid over five ft long, and it is flashing red and white. You know what

I'm going with the big squad. I'm gonna just continue to wrap my squids and say, uh, seems like the wrong answer, so I'll choose that. Yeah, I'm very comfortable. In take two, I like tank to tank two with a little octopus. All right, all right, so you guys got your got your swim fins on, you getting in the tank and let's see what happens. So then you're in tank number one with the whole tiny cuttlefish. Don't get to cuddle it's it's cuddling like fish. You want

to cuddle with the cuttlefish? Go ahead, absolutely all right. So it sounds ominous, don't do it. Are taking a dip with the adorable berries bobtail squid, which is actually a cuttlefish, but nevertheless it is called a berry's bobtail squid. Adorable name, and hey guess what it is just adorable. You're completely safe down, You're fine. Cattle fish, cattlefish. You chose what is probably the cutest cephalopod on the planet and it's no threat to humans. I really I was

taking a risk there. Let me tell you a little bit about the berries bob tail squid that you are now swimming with as buddies. It is found in the Indo Pacific Ocean near the Philippines and Indonesia, and it is found along the sandy bottom of tropical waters because it likes to cover itself in sand during the day cosie shy and shy you know, buddies, uh. And at night it hunts, using a small amount of bioluminescence to be able to locate prey, but not so much that

predators could see it. It likes to eat small crustaceans like shrimps. So, Dan, you have advanced to the next level, and you have a new cute little friend. In addition, so tank number two, Lydia's hanging out with this cute little octopus. What do you want to cuddle this octopus? Do I have to cuddle the octopus? You don't have to. I'm just Dan cuddled his uh cuttlefish. Do you want to cut a lot toopus? No? I think I just

want to observe it from a nice neutral distance. All right, So, Lydia, you are observing across from you this adorable little octopus. It would fit in the palm of your hand. It is the blue ringed octopus, and it is so cute, so sweet, and the most toxic cephalopod in the ocean. So most cephalopods have some kind of venom for hunting, but most of them, in fact, pretty much every cephalopod in terms of their venom is not a threat to humans. This guy is the one exception, and boy is it

an exception. Uh, hope, by guys, this is great. Thanks are one of the world's most venomous marine animals, with tetrodotoxin that they can administer through a tiny, aimless bite. You may not even know you've been bidding until you succumb to paralysis. How are you doing you? Oh my god, I'm very uncomfortable. Thank you. Their venom is potent enough to kill nearly thirty adult humans in a few minutes.

There is no anti venom. Treatment for a blue ringed octopus bite is artificial respiration and prayer to whatever octopus god that you think is best. There is no sure fire way to save your life if you've been bitten by one of these. It's just try to keep your body alive. Hope the tocsin passes before you die. Symptoms of the blue ringed octopus bite is nausea, no more breathing, heart stopping, body paralysis, blindness, and death. Well, as I die, I say I was right. It's okay because I was

right along. Well, the good news for you, Lydia is that you chose to pet the cute little octopus. Oh you're good, you're good. Yeah. If you can manage to not pet such an adorable octopus, touch or frighten it such that it bites you, you'll probably be fine. It's probably more afraid of you than you are of it, and it's fear of you is what would get you killed. So if you hold it in your hands, like I

have seen way too many people do online. There are photos of people holding these in their hands, and when you know that's what they're holding, essentially something way worse than a loaded gun. It's truly butt clenching. When want to watch someone hold one of these cute little octopuses.

It's like it's something that someone might think like, oh, this will go good on Instagram, and then a minute later it's like, huh, I'm not breathing so good because you don't even feel that's it's so scary because you don't even feel them biting you necessarily, so it could just be a little nip that you barely even notice, and then it's just like no, like oh wow, So like why do they need that much of a punch? Is that just hunting? Yes, they use it for hunting.

Their small prey, it helps paralyze their prey. Uh and and it's also for defense, but yeah, it's it's mostly um, mostly for hunting to kind of incapacitate their prey and they make up for their small size in terms of hunting with that very potent toxin um. But yeah, they do also use it defensively because obviously they will bite a human if you hold it and make it feel scared. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to

touch it. Yeah, if you guys, anyone out there sees a cute little especially uh near Australia with blue rings, it's yellow, it can be sort of an off white color. It can even be sort of a pinky coralie color because remember octopuses and and some other species of cephalopod can change their skin color and texture, as can this. But the main giveaway is is bright blue rings. So in general, don't just pick stuff up you find in

the ocean. I think that's like the safest bet, but especially if it's got bright blue rings, the cuter the scarier. But not always right. Because Dan chose the cuttlefish that is this bright electric blue, it looks it has like this amazing bright coloration like a poisoned dart frog would um. But it's fine. It's you know, not necessarily want to eat it, but you it's not gonna hurt you. He was right, though he said cuddle. He was like, yeah, Dan really came out on top to he got the

cutest one and it's not going to murder him. Yeah. To be honest with you, I was almost positive that was bait and was thinking I was heading for an early demise. But I'm betting on Flashing Squid. I think I think me and the Flashing squid are gonna be best friends. Let's check in with you, uh and take

number three Molly. So first the bad news. You're in the tank with the Red Devil squid, what is considered to be the world's most aggressive squid, with a sharp kiteness that can puncture diving suits and easily slice through flesh. You were trying to eliminate two of us in the first in the first round, it's a squeakame Lydia died. She didn't Fair Fair didn't pick up the blue ring. Doctor pause. Yeah, you're really jumping to conclusions here, Daniel.

I'm also I too, am a Red devil. So maybe to to red devils and that tank well balance each other up. Yeah, a little familial symbiosis maybe. So they can also disassemble deep sea cameras that they find objectionable because they often approach novel items with aggression and try to shred it apart. So tee, that's what I'm saying. Like, these guys are so smart. People really underestimate eight your cephalopods in general, but we all know octopi or smart,

So like, why wouldn't squid also be super smart? They are taking down the surveillance state, like the deep sea surveillance state, which I do admire. Yeah, comrade squid. So they're on the larger side at over five ft long, which is about one point five meters and up to a hundred pounds or fifty uh In addition to their eight legs, they have two tentacles with two hundred razor sharp teeth lined suckers, which they use to wrangle prey and pull them in towards their beak and their radula.

So the radula is sort of like a tongue with a bunch of teeth on it. What I love that name, radual. It's pretty radd it sounds rad that's a good name for it. Yeah, So like the beak kind of chops up their prey into smaller bits, and then the radula continues to grind prey up until yeah, they can digest it. Uh. And the red devil squids do flash red and white as communication with each other, but we don't really know what exactly it is they're communicating. It's a mystery, like

that movie with it. I'm going to kill you. What was that movie with like the squid aliens Arrival Arrival and they make the coffee stains with their tentacles. It's kind of like Arrival, except they're real and they flash at you. That's what I'm saying, Like, who needs aliens? We've got aliens here on Earth and they're underneath the ocean having sex with each other in ways you can never understand. Sweet monogamous sex with giant squid. It's adorable.

I just love whenever something contradicts like evo psych people you know who are like, but that's not logical, Like why wouldn't giant female squid maximize her chances of reproduction? And it's like she loved loved with another squid and they only want to be with each other, and it makes me feel everything. They held their little squid hands probably oh my gosh, or like more sad. It's like she had sex with this one squid and then never

saw him again. And just like with a little squid, mishap a sham, just like turning onto that one sperm packet. You marine biologists have figured in cellular biology into your calculations, But what of love thang, what about emotions? Squid emotions? So Molly onto the good news for Molly with this aggressive, large, all right squid, if you play your cards right, you may be able to get out of there with most

of your fingers intact, and you probably won't die. So wild Humboldt a k a. Red devil squid have a bad reputation for being aggressive. One of the theories is that they're only aggressive either when they're hunting um so hopefully it's not too hungry, or when they're confused by flashing lights and reflections of scuba divers and their gear. Wow, just like redheads, I have a bad reputation as being aggressive,

but we're just confused by flashing lights. When I see like a crosswalk, I just start throwing punches and people are like, what are you doing. It's like, well, but that that stop walk just insulted my mother. It's speaking in redhead perfect, so uh yeah. I think it may have to do with the fact that they communicate with flashing colors like white and red, and that's how they communicate. So when they see flashing light, they're like confused. Maybe

you accidentally insult their mother. Maybe you're like flirting with them, because one uh theory is that that flashing red and white is actually kind of flirtation or mating maybe in some context. So maybe it's like you're flirting with them and they're like okay, and then you insult their mother on accident, so then they get really confused and angry and attack. It kind of seems like they're raving out a little bit too. Yeah, I mean, you don't want

to get in the mosh pit. Maybe they're just motion Yeah, Like whenever I see one doing that, it's just like I imagine it's just like it's having fun. Yeah, support, full support. What's your strategy going to be molly with with the squid? I mean, I guess I'll listen to reason and try to get away from it in time, rather than listen to my instinct and embrace it. You want to hug the squid. Yeah, I want to be I want to be killed by a giant pulsating Humboldt squid.

That's like the best death I can imagine. It's pretty sick, it's pretty cool. The obituary for that would read great, Molly died in the sickest way possible. Molly shralped the nar daughter, cousin, squid lover, raped until the end, shralped the light fantastic like Captain Ahab did the electric slide ride into a watery grave. But you probably won't die. I'm gonna say, Molly, you're missing like a thumb, maybe

a pinky. Ain't got bit a little bit because you did try to run away, and it did get confused and think maybe you're big tuna, but then it tried. Yet, what a cool story for me to tell people that that's how I lost my finger. Well, he got mistaken for a big old tuna and story, so hey, congratulations, you three didn't die. Unfortunately, Heston's four through two D and fifty six did die because they all chose to hug and kiss the blue ring octopus. Ah, it's you know,

it's a honeypot. It's at my fear saved me, my irrational fear. And isn't that the lesson? Isn't that the squid lesson? Be fear is good for you? Actually, always be afraid. Fear is the mind saver. Yeah, there there we go. Love it. We're mixing Dune and squid game. Alright, contestants, how you feeling dried off? I gave you some towels, gave you some snacks. It still seems all on the up and up. Yeah, gave you a capri son and some fruit snacks. You know. Hell yeah, I got a

new best friend with the cuddlefish. We're all good. Dan's doing real good. He's doing really out. Yeah, I just hanging out. But but if if we're to take anything from the traditional arc of cinema, I'm about to get my come upance. I mean, I have not too conscripted deaths for any of you guys. This is all. It's completely fair and based on your free choice. That's totally

the message. It'll be totally fair, trust me, I believe. Anyways, Underwater dodgeball, So you see an underwater dodgeball arena with jet propulsion cannons that shoot out sparky dodgeballs at tremendous speeds that you can only assume would pulverize you if you get hit or maybe explode. Who knows. It's a fun game. You see a scoreboard labeled team human and Team squid. The score currently reads zero to zero, but you can hazard a guess at what might occur if

those scores start to rise. So, but the look, these are fair games, right, So I know that some of you might not be the strongest swimmers, you might not like dodgeball up. So I will give you a chance to skip this game if you can answer the following question correctly. So here is your question. The long fin inshore squid has the largest blank in the world that researchers love to get their hands on. Do they have the largest eyeball, tentacle, neuron, spermatozoa, or genitals. I'll read

that question again, the long fin crap. The long fin inshore squid has the largest blank in the world that researchers love to get their hands on, the largest eyeball, the largest tentacle, the largest neuron, the largest spermatozoa or berm or the largest genitals. I'm going sperm. Lidia's going sperm Uh, this is Molly and I'm going genitals. And I may have read something about squid genitals in that article I was telling you about about the giants, so

so uh, we'll see if I'm right, we'll see. I did hear something about their muscular, elongated gigantic squid p and I nice, that's how scientific terminology that was used. And also with the marine biologists said we have to figure this out because children are asking us about it. I thought was, well, kids, well you know, look square our interesting creatures. Yes they are. I'm gonna go with

the largest neuron. Little diversity of answers here, all right, locking in your guesses, Locked in, Dani today you may have had look in the previous challenge and I look continuous because you're correct. Ah, this is rig I did Gordon Ramsey where it's like you are terrible at being bad because you're good. Yeah, I'm shocked that you're doing so well. You have chosen the best charges so far. Um. Yeah,

the answer is neurons. Ladies, very good guesses, because those were those were kind of traps because I would be tempted to guess those things. I just put in what I think I would guess so that I'll trip other people up. But indeed it is the neuron. So the long fin in shore squid is a very squinty looking squid. I don't know. I usually try to like describe animals in detail, and I don't really know. It's just squidty you, I provided a picture for you, guys. Do you guys

have any better ways to describe it? No, none of this discounts what I was saying about the muscular squid. Penis so the largest in the world right because it's a whale. It's the largest relative to body size. I've read that's a relative to bodies though, see we're getting into relativity. Is that the you cannot squirm your way out of this one, molly, unlike a squid that probably

could because squid have gigantic, girthy, fat, juicy neurons. So these are called um Actually, in fact, the specific part of the neuron that is actually so fat and juicy is the axon. So first just a little bit of neuron anatomy. Axons are nerve fibers, so it is like

a long tentacle that comes off a neuron. So imagine the neuron like the base of the cell is like a potato or some kind of like root vegetable, and on one end you have like a few kind of short roots coming off of it, sort of smaller roots, and that's those are the din drites, and those will

receive neurotransmitters from other neurons. But then on the other end of the potato, which is a neuron, you have the axon, which is like a long tail or a long tentacle that comes off, and then at the very end of that axon will be some more branching roots, which are called synaptic terminals, which send off neurotransmitters to the next cell. So you have one end of the neuron that receives one and that um sends off neurotransmitters, and the way that they pass messages along the neuron

is through this long axon. It's basically like you know, like an axial cable axon axial of I don't know, it's pint. I guess I'm not really I don't know enough about engineering to say that was fantastic. So yeah, so there's a chain reaction of what are called action potentials that run along the axon. Basically it has to do with like sodium channels and all this like chemistry slash electricity stuff. Basically, it is sending an electrical signal along the the axon. Uh. Axons can be quite long

in humans. Our longest axon is the sciatic nerve, you know, like sciatica, like pain in that nerve. The sciatic nerve runs about three ft long, which is about a meter from your butt to your toes. So you've got that's just one cell, so one axon running from your butt to your toes, which I think is pretty interesting. And while we may have a pretty long neuron, we do not have the thickest, biggest, juiciest neuron that goes to squid. And it's actually the that axon and squid is called

the squid giant axon. Because sometimes Bill just just don't want to spend that much time naming things. Just like it's the squid giant axon. Guys, that's enough. That's enough, simple squid giant X and we're fine with that. Easy to remember, you know, it says what it is on the package there, you go on your package of squid giant axons I had, I would, I feel like I would want to try it as like a spaghetti, like a big package of it, just to see, because then

maybe make me smarter, you know. Yeah, that's the medieval thinking. If you eat its brain and you get smart. I've always ascribed to that. I would leave its brain alone. Seems cursed. It seems cursed. It would be one long slurp too with the right pesto. I don't want a squid coming in. I don't want it's like brothers and sisters coming for revenge. Yeah you wait, my family's brains like a plate of spaghetti. I want the squid to know that I am like a friend of the squid.

You ate us like spaghetti, and that made me upsett e. I have a question for you, Katie. Is the plural of squid squid or squids? I looked into it and it seemed like it was squid for a singular or a plural, But my heart wants to say squids to differentiate it seems controversial. I'm gonna say you can use either because actually think technically, if you're referring to like a group of squid, you would say squid. But if you're like referring to two different species of squids, I

think you'd use plural. But you know, I don't know. I think use whatever you feel comfortable with. It's kind of like with octopus. Actually, the plural of octopus is not octopi. It's octopus or octopuses. But a lot of people say occupy and you know what they mean. So you know, that's a great thing about language. We knew what you meant, you know what you know what I mean. I don't think cephalopods are like taking note and like

jotting down like every time you get this wrong. Anyways, you guys have bigger fish to fry because you're in a fight for your lives right now against squids, so

staying alive. Yeah, but before before you guys have to go to fight to the death, let's learn a little bit more about the giant squid axon because it's so big and juicy, and I mean juicy, like sometimes scientists will juice it or milk it for the plasma inside of it, because it's a it's called axoplasm, and it's like the goo inside your axons, and usually axons are

so thin. It's hard to like get much goo out, but with these you can, like I guess it's I don't know if they take a rolling pin to a or what, but they can extract the goo out of these axons. I'm so glad I was never an intern for a scientist. Yeah, because they have to they do, Like they collect these squid, the the long fin inshore squid, and most squid do have these giant neurons, but I think for whatever reason, the long fin inshores like is

the best for harvesting. Like, they're relatively common, uh and they have a really nice thick one ax on, a nice thick axon, uh and for decades actually they've been using these for research. So unfortunately this does kill the squid because they dissect the squid and extract the axon. So when I say thick, it's like one millimeter in diameter, which is a hundred times thicker than a human axon.

That it's actually thick enough to be able to attach electrodes to it and run current through it to measure voltage, which is insane. They can like literally attach the electrodes and measure the voltage of this axon, which has been great for neuroscience. They're like Frankenstein a squid. I'm going to say that seems like a terrible idea, Like, let's Frankenstein as squid, you guys, please, we have too many problems already. It's actually Frankenstein's squid. The squid is not Frankenstein.

So now I've explained what this does for scientists who are willing to like get squid guts on their hands. But what does this thickness of the axon do for the squid. Well, it allows for extremely rapid transmission of signals to and from the mantle, giving it incredible reflexes to quickly evade threats. So by having such a large diameter, electrical signals can travel more quickly and experience less resistance.

The giant axon controls the squid's jet propulsion system, which is how they dart around and how they swim, so as soon as it senses a threat, it can activate its propulsion system in dart away with incredible speed, all thanks to its thick, juicy axon. So Dan, you're fine. You can just like take a breather, hang out with your little Barry bobtail cuddlefish friend. Unfortunately, Molly and Lydia.

You do have to play dodgeball, and your opponent is the long fin inchore squid who has incredible reflexes thanks to this thick, juicy axon. I'm gonna get a die out and see digital die is this D and D? Are we playing D and D? We're playing squid D and D. I tricked you guys into playing squid D and D. I'm sorry, Okay, I'm so like, I love you. You are the You're the squid dungeon master. So I'm gonna say, like your chances this is very scientific and

also super math. I'm gonna say your chance of defeating these squid are like two and six. I'm gonna let you know if it's if it's me and my current physical body and I have to dodge things or do a lot of movement. Um in any way, it's going to be a low number, Katie, It's gonna be real low. Molly's also missing fingers. I think from her encounter with a humboldt squid. Does that impact her DEX modifier? Um? It actually it does. But this is an agility, not DEX.

So I'm gonna throw the dodge ball with my beak. So how about how about you each choose like a couple of numbers between one and six? How many? Just one? No? Two? Numbers between one and six, five and three, five and three. Okay, let me see, I'm so excited for these roles. Oh Lydia, you survived. Nice, you got a three? Very cool, Molly, how about you pick a number between five and three. This is how Dungeons and Dragons totally works, and also

how dodgeball works. By the way, four four, You can pick one more number because I'm giving you a two and six chance, one and four. Here we go. Oops, you died? Oh no, you were too good for this world. I mean unless like there's a twist at the end. But there wouldn't be a twist at the end. There could be. I would never do that to you guys. As fast as I became, I'm becoming a squid. Yeah to say, Molly is the squid running the squid game, right,

Dr Moreau, right exactly island of doctor squid row. How did we miss all those tentacles? Nice was a good one. You have to go in the punishment box just for that one. Her body, her dead body is in the punish coach. I mean, that's kind of what happens in the show. If you've seen it, it feels like she got she got punished by dying. That's true, but then it's like humiliating my dead body. That's an extra level. Was like giving it to a squid to kind of

like play around with. Game just got real, all right, So, sadly, contestant number one did pass on when she was obliterated by underwater dodgeballs that were at were explosive and spiky, and she did not manage to beat the squid. That we're much faster, it had better reflexes. Lydia some house survived and Dan managed to skip that game by guessing correctly that uh, big fin long short wait, long fin, wait a minute, long Fin and short squid have the

biggest neurons in the world. Major emphasis. But Molly, if you want to haunt the podcast with your presence, you know that's that's not for me to uh to say you can't be ghosts and haunt people. Oh, I'm just plotting my revenge from the squid cage where my soul is slowly being drained out of my body by cool little cute blue octopus. Babies. Yeah, no, I like that energy. So Part three, the most exciting game in our final game is the Squid Olympic Games. In this part of

the games, you see a giant Olympic pool. You must either pick a water based competition of your choice that requires no equipment and the eat some squids at this game easy right, Or you can hang out in a giant fish tank containing a colossal squid, armed with nothing but your wits and your charms. You have to survive thirty minutes with the colossal squid, and hey, you know what, I'll even give you, guys a little gift. I will give you the athletic prowess of Michael Phelps. So what

do you guys choose? Except for Molly who is dead ripping peace? Are we allowed to pick a game that involves the spoken word? Because how could because how could a squid say fish out of water and catch me in Marco polo? That was my exact thought. I was just gonna ask if squids can hear? You can't. I won't answer whether squids can hear. You can't choose a game that uses the spoken words, but you must have uom that the squid even if they cannot use language.

We will slightly modify the game so the squid can win FIB no problem, I was really going. I was that was a very MINIMAXI question right there. Um, and it's only us by ourselves. We can include another person. I mean, you've got Molly's ghost. Molly, what are you doing as a ghost. Um, I'm not allowed to participate in this game, so you guys are on your own. Sorry darn it. You know what, I'm going to take my chances with the do I have diving equipment from

spending thirty minutes in a tank with a giant squid? Yeah, it's not going to be like, well, you suffocated because you didn't have any option. You're in the water for thirty minutes. You have a thirty minutes of oxygen. Yeah, okay, I'm going to take my chances with the thirty minutes of oxygen and the giant squid. I have to correct you there, it's a colossal squit, not a giant I'm so sorry, my apologies. I'm so sorry the colossal. There you go. I'll take my chances, and what about you, Lydia,

I'm gonna play Marco Polo with the squid please. Okay, all right, Molly's ghost, you have just been resurrected as a squid and an ironical squist that nobody saw coming. What only you're one of the squid now, squid Marco Polo. Sounds like a perfect game for me, a squid to play. Okay, sounds good. Um So we will check in on what happens with Marco Polo. But first, hey, look who it is. It's Michael Phelps. He's in the squid games. Now who would a guest? And uh He's like, hey, I'll raise

these squids. No problem, I won't have any problem. You know, screw these squid It's gonna be great. Um So, Michael Phelps, for reference, can swim it six miles per hour at his top speed, which you know, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's impressive. Yeah, yeah, it's not bad. I feel like

I feel like you give me some flippers. You're like, you give me I mean, I can't swim six miles hour, But when you hear it, I guess when you hear it outside the water, it's like six miles power is a light jog, pretty pretty like it's like what ten in a mile? Yeah? No, I mean it is. It's actually absurd, like there, it's very fast. It's incredible in the water. Yes, yeah, yeah, for a human in the water,

that's that's nuts. Yes, certainly. So you could try the butterfly stroke, you could try some kind of stroke, but uh yeah, if you if you try the butterfly stroke, you're kind of doomed. Because the Japanese flying squid can leap out of the water and glide at speeds of up to twenty five miles per hour or eleven per second per leap. This is achieved using their jet propulsion system. So flying squid are found in the Pacific Ocean near the waters of Japan, China, and Russia. They can grow

to be over twenty inches longer over fifty cimeters. They range from sort of a orangey tan color to bluish and they can jump and glide over the surface of the water, doing repeated jumps for up to thirty meters or almost a hundred feet without having to return to normal swimming. It is incredibly sick and actually what you see when you see one of these squid, and it's hard to get footage of it for some reason, like

I haven't seen that much professional footage. It's mostly caught in the background, like someone's jet skiing and suddenly you see the squid just launch out of the water. But yeah, you'll you'll see this squid just like fling itself out of the water, followed by a trail of water because

it is using jet propulsion of water. So they take in water through their mantle cavity, which is also what they breathe, and they use powerful muscle con tractions to shoot the water out of a siphon coming out of their mantle on their underside. So basically it's like as if you like would breathe in and then shoot air out of like your neck or something, or out of

your butt. I'm not app I think it's it's kind of it's more like the but it's squid and Nanoby is kind of weird, like all their junk is up in their mantle. They don't really they have a place where they excreat waste, but not really a butt so to speak. But yeah, so it's as if you like breathe in air, shot out of your butt and went real fast, um, except instead of air, it's water. So if Michael Phelps tries the butterfly he's gonna be eliminated.

But what about just like, you know, swimming through the water, you know, breaststroke. I don't know what the different swimming things are. Is one of them? Like, you know what is swimming? Like? What are the swimmings that you can do? Style is just the regular style? Yeah, regular swim? Yeah. The butterfly is that one? Yeah? Butterfly backs? Yeah, you

could free style whatever. But squids Depending on the species of squid, with the some of the like medium to larger species, the squids max swimming speed is about eighteen miles per hour or eight meters per second, which we remember Michael Phelps maximum speed is six miles per hours. So squid's wind, You've gone full squid. She's I'm team squad. I'm team human extinction, pro squids taken over the dying earth. Some squid or cannibal though, so watch watch out, Molly,

be careful. Well I'm one of them, now, Who who's to say I'm not a cannibal squad? That's a good one. Freaks me out, Actually, really embrace the squid life. Freaks me out when animals eat their own got sorry, it is weird, isn't I should have mentioned that with the with the I think with the Red Devil squid, they also are sometimes cannibals once in a while, but not always, you know, depends on their mood, kind of like people. Yeah,

there you go. Don't kiss me off, don't make you know when you just want to bite someone's head off. Another redhead thing. Yeah, exactly, it's a redhead thing. Look, don't blame me. It's a It's a Monday, and I'm a redhead, so it's actually a Friday. Hey, it's a Friday. Let's check in with the Marco Polo situation. So Molly, what kind of squid are you? I guess I forgot to ask. I mean, I think I was kind of thinking I was one of those Humboldt squid because I really,

uh came to identify with it earlier. Yeah, yeah, it's like you kind of you. You kind of had had an intimate moment with it where it like bit your thumb off. So I can see why you would choose that we are friends. So it's Molly the Humboldt Squid versus Danial. Uh. And uh, I'm gonna say I think Molly has a slight advantage here. Uh, Molly. Wait, is this the Marco Polo game? Yeah? Wait, who's playing? Oh you're about to hang out with a colossal squid? I see,

I'm sorry, I'm taking my chances. I'm squid alright. So it's Lydia versus Molly, who is a humboldt squid? Uh? And so let's just do two rounds of this. So uh when um, who wants to go first? As Marco? Wait? Who's Marco and Marco Polo? Is that the guy swimming? No, that's the person who is whose eyes covered in theory, who has their eyes closed? Okay, okay guy, Okay, who's Marco? Who's got their eyes close? First? You want to flip a coin, squid's choice, I'll let Molly pick um all

of my eyes closed? Okay, so Molly goes first. Now, unfortunately, molly squid are very reliant on their eyesight in terms of hunting, so they do use those huge eyes for hunting, and sometimes they'll actually deep seed squid will use bioluminescence to help them hunt. But they do have a sense of hearing, and they do have a sense of sort of taste slash smell, So you're not completely doomed. You probably could do a pretty good job of trying. I'm just like, how big is the pool? I can go

really fast? You can move pretty fast. Yeah, if I just did like lapse around the pool until I found her, like like a vortax, like circling in on you. What if I did fish out of water? How would she know? I forgot about that? That seems like cheat? Well, I mean it is, but I didn't say I wouldn't cheat at the squid game. It's it's true game cheating. Uh. But when it's Olydia's turn to try to catch Molly, I feel like Molly's going to have a real advantage

again because of that big juicy axe on. Squid's reflex is very good. So if Molly is trying to avoid getting touched by Lydia, I think it's going to be pretty tricky for Lydia to catch Molly. Molly's also Molly's also pretty big, right, Molly? It is pretty big? That is? I am Squid. I'm so much faster than Michael Phelps. I would like destroy Michael Phelp. But there's more of you than Michael Phelps. It depends the size of the pool, which I guess we really didn't establish I'm thinking like

an infinity pool. An infinity pool isn't isn't that? But it has that. It just has like a just has like a waterfall on one And it doesn't literally mean I'm like an infinite pool. No, but I'm I'm using it in that. Okay, it's like an infinite infinite pool. Infinite, the infinite pool. Perfect. I'm gonna give Molly the advantage on this, um this thing, because she is a squid. You just can't deny the squid's ultimate power. Um. So uh Lydia, pick pick a number between one and six

h two? All right, what shure do you have? Like? Um, do you have a deception multiplier? It's a million? Oh well in that case, now sorry, we're not doing it. This is alright, So you pick two. Let's see how this shakes out for you. Oh my god, I have to share this main shot with you guys, Oh my gosh, please, yeah, because I feel like you're not going to believe me. Is it just a big sign that says death? No, that's not how Die work. I don't their name is Die. Yeah,

I rolled the two. That's amazing. Actually, I'm kind of known when I played dn d for doing that, I'm really good at, really weirdly lucky at dice rolls. Wait, but what does that mean though in this context? Is that was that a saving role or was that a match of rolling? Cool? Yeah, so now you're gonna Now it's Lydia's turn to hunt down Molly with her eyes closed, Molly choose, I'm gonna say she's three numbers, h one, five, and six. All right, Oh my god, it's a three.

So has somehow defeated Molly. If there was a into this that this would happen, incredible, I'm I'm sorry, squid, Molly, this is just not your day. First, you are combated by first, you get your thumb bitten off, and then you get blown up by a cannon, and then you come back as a squid only to be humiliated in

a game of Marco Polo. But you know, the consolation is you're still a cool squid, so you know, heck yeah, oh At first thing, I thought she died because but then I was like, no, I just caught her in Marco Polo. I'm not kill Yeah, no, I'm not gonna Here's the thing about the squid games, is I'm not going to kill any of the squids, only the humans because I'm an animal lover that tracks. No squids are

harmed in the making of this squid game. No, exactly, only a bunch of people, like so many people hurt very badly, Molly, Molly was hurt to death, but the squids are fine. M So Danil. Finally we come to you. You're in the tank with the colossal squid and uh trying, you know, just trying to hang out. So let's describe the situation for you. And I'm just hanging out. Uh, you like brought your little cuttlefish body with you, and he's like, no, man, you're in your own with this

one and scoots off. So what you're facing is the colossal squid. They grow up to be about eighteen ft five point five meters to forty two ft long or thirteen meters. They are different from the giant squid. They're actually heavier than the giant squid, if not a little shorter. So they weigh over one thousand pounds to about like fift hundred pounds or about five hundred seven hundred ms,

So they're they're hafty boys. They are actually should say, hapty girls, because I leave the females do grow to be bigger. They are the world's Yeah, real win for squid feminism. Squimin is um um. They are the world's heaviest invertebrates. They have sharp hooks among their suckers on their arms and tentacles that can cause scarring on whales. The hooks on their two tentacles can swivel three hundred

sixty degrees, whereas the hooks on their arms remain stationary. Uh. In addition to these hooks, they have suckers that have hard serrated interior that can slice and dice as they suck. It's like it sounds like something you'd sell the like QVC. It sucks, it slices, it dices, slap shop. They also have three hearts, like most squid, actually, like all squid. I think that's terrified. It's like a cling on in star trek. They just have extra because they get stabbed

so much. Refe is to die. Okay, So, uh, Dan, what's kind of gonna be your your strategy with this thing? Oh, just you know, hanging out, telling stories, not causing any sort of friction and just being a just you know, just trying to be chill, So this is probably a good strategy. Colossal squid, despite their extremely intimidating features, are

probably relatively chill. They are huge deep sea creatures. They have very slow metabolism, so instead of chasing and hunting prey, they probably wait for fish to wander too close to their tentacles, upon which point they grab them and pull them into their beaks. Uh. And at that point the fish kind of uh. I don't think the fish has much of a chance. So if it gets you in its tentacles, uh, and it's curious about you, wants to have a little nibble or is kind of hungry and

wants to take a bite. I don't think it would necessarily see you as food because you're probably bigger than the fish that it typically eats, and so smart it would be like, oh, that's not food. Yeah, but it could be curious and want to like hang out with Daniel, even past bat you around a little bit, like you know, yeah, exactly, nibble,

nibble on your scuba gear. Oh gosh, I have a big, juicy tuna that I've conveniently brought with me for this very occasion, and it loves swimming too close to swings. This is like children's game rules where you're like, well, I actually have a tuna and it's got a force. Well that's so funny. But yeah, I mean, there are a lot of stories of like squid pulling people down into the depths or attacking ships, and I think that's

probably pretty unlikely. I think giant squid and colossal squid are probably more likely to hang out at the bottom of the ocean waiting for fish to happen by them and then they'll grab them. They're kind of ambush predators. They don't chase after things as much. Um And when there are injuries on whales, it's usually defensive wounds. So like the squid fighting against the whale, because whales will eat giant squid or colossal squid, something big, a toothed whale,

like a sperm whale, we'll we'll eat them. And they actually do that by like, uh, creating sort of a vortex, so they like turn onto their bellies and suck in so that they create this vacuum to try to suck in the squid. Uh. And so if the squid can like grab outside of the whale's body to try to like not get eaten it will and so to leave these scars. And so there's there's this perception that they're

these epic battles between squid and whales. But I think, Molly, you were the one who brought this up earlier, that it's actually just just the poor squid trying to trying to live their life and some a whole whale comes along, and yeah, I mean it seems like the giant squid really don't want to be bothered by us, um because they're so rarely seen by humans. Um. I respect that

so much. If I were a giant squid, I would just want humans to leave me alone, let me do my giant squid thing at the bottom of the ocean. And I just love how much we don't know about them because of that. It's like, yeah, there's things we legitimately don't know about giant squid. Still, that's so cool. Yeah, And one of the things we don't know is what would happen if you stick a person in a big

tank with a live giant squid? Right, because they like barely even find them, so they could never use them for highly unethical animal experiments on some kind of televised game show. Is this what you thought squid Game was going to be? Though? Yeah, the show you were like, oh, it's the show for me about people playing games with squids, and then it was like, yeah, that would be a bench bench like squid you know, like squid dodgeball, squid tennis, squidness.

Did you ever watch there was like a reality show in the early two thousand's called Man Versus Beast. It was just one like two hours on special Danimals eyes just lit up, I think they vaguely remember that. I watched it again recently and it was like human athletes against animals. It was totally unethical and animal cruelty brought in real animals for it literally and it was like

things like a human versus a monkey on an obstacle. Course. Um, there was one that was like like a I forget it was like a tug of war with a bear or something. But um, the animals one, I believe like two out of three times. They want so many. My favorite was I think it was the bear versus Kobo Yashi hot dog eating context. That's what it was. Bear just smoked him. Still, it was like you have this bear basically like I mean chained up forcing it to

eat hot dogs. It was like this is this is not this is It was horrible, not good nutrition for the bear. I feel like every time the animals won, they should have been able to eat a producer boom, Yes, they should have fed them the competitor. So it was like, Kobo yashi, you are eating for your life right here. Eat these hot dogs or the bear and eat. The show runners for coming up with such an idea, yeah, no, I mean, oh yeah. I think one of them was like a was like how long can you hang on

a pull up bar? And it was a monkey versus a person like a gymnasipal that and the monkey lost. But it was like on a technicality, and it made me furious because I was like, the technicality, it's animal abuse and it's not fair. That's sorry, it's animal abuse and uh incorrectly umpired, which is exactly which is why the producers were some of those first two hundred people in this squid Game, right. They were all exact everyone who made those reality shows in the early two thousand's

that were really morally horrible. They're all in the squid Game. They had first I wish yeah, I mean, like I know, that's not like the political point of squid Game. But it would be fun to like watch like a reality show to the death with a bunch of exploitative reality show execs. You know what I mean? Yeah? Right, that make a million dollars. There we go. Netflix, are you listening? They are rebooting Joe Millionaire, and that's what it should be.

It should be that the twist is actually a bunch of animals are going to eat the producers of Joe Millionaire because you reboot that. Now everyone knows that show. I think it would be really there's like two thousands nostalgia. The twist is that on the new Joe Millionaire, one of them is rich and one is poor. There's like two bachelors and nobody knows which one is the millionaire and who's the poor one. I thought got like all Amish girls who they've never heard. I have no idea.

I want to reboot of Undercover Bosses, but where they actually are subjected to bad working conditions, so like literally being forced to pee in bottles and stuff. Yes, put them in the Amazon factory, all of them right right right, getting like into workplace accidents and stuff. Also, on a

side note about animal competition shows. That first animal show completely pales in comparison to the c g I generated animal versus Beast fake competition show, where it was just who would win in a fight a guerrilla versus a shark, And it was like put them on their territory and have these c g I animals battle it out, which was at least entertaining without the animal cruelty in it. I will I will take that. I will take that

sounds better. Yeah, at least don't make them actually fight. Yeah, yeah, c g I animals. Look, that's you know, that's what we have god Zilla versus cong for you exactly. You have to live at that fantasy somehow destroy a city in the process, That's all I ask. Exactly. So um, I guess. I mean I would say that I think that Daniel and uh Lydia survived. Molly did die but did come back as a Humboldt squid, so true. And

then I died again. Then I died. No, no, you didn't die in a game of a game of Mark Polos Squid. Well, what the defference from my pride? I'm like emerging from the cool bloody anyway, because I just had extra blood with me, and I want to be dramatic, you know, but Molly, there's no blood coming from Molly is fine. No squids were harmed in making him. I'm

just that sad squid. But here's the twistier twist is that we actually have one more game, and this is the game we actually play on every episode of this show in the new season, and it's called Guess Who's talking? Every week on the show, I play a mystery animal sound and you guys out in the audience and you guys here with me today try to guess who is talking in this clip. So first we got to reveal

who was talking last week. Uh my hint for last week is this may sound like a goat, but if you try to milk it, you're going to have a bed time all right. Uh so do you guys think is talking? Wow? Incredible, that was a unique sound. I'm going to guess just like first first instinct of what that felt like, what I visualized when I heard that sound, and say, it's a bird and that interesting. It's a tawny frog mouth. M hm, tawny frog mouth. That's an

interesting That's just what I pictured when I heard that sound. Okay, anybody else an he guesses, I have an observation, and then I guess as well. When I was listening to that, I was like, that really sounds like goats that they hear some bad but the tone was too consistent, not enough like bam, no volume modulation, not enough sticato, not sticato. But I think it's bugs, but I can't say what kind of I have no idea what kind of bug it is, as there are many bug types. So we

got one for Tonny frog mouth, shadow bug type. I have a bug guess? Can I put in the secondary guess? My secondary guess is locust locus? Okay? Am? I allowed? Am? I allowed to piggyback off of that sinsid didn't name a specific bug. I can't possibly take all that's I'm giving Daniel. His answer, you, Molly, that is incredibly kind. Doesn't count because I'm a squid fair. I appreciate that, Thank you. I just I'm ignorant of bug types other than I could say, you know, locust is a great

I'm back locust. That's a great answer. Okay, So we got one for bugs, which is locusts, and one for Tonny frog mouth. What about you lydia. I'm picturing a small rodent and I'm trying to think of one that I don't know what down they make, so I'm going to say prairie dogs. Interesting. These are all incredible guesses. Um, I mean they're all wrong, but one of them got close in a weird way, which I don't know if that really counts. But anyways, these are the calls of

the eastern narrow mouth toads. Wow. Okay, while they're called toads, they're actually frogs. So the frog mouth is close name, but that is a bird, so you know it definitely, because like I was thinking, like what animals kind of drone and frogs are right up there. Uh. My other wrong guess was going to be cicadas. Cicada is also great. Yes, it does sound like cicadas. It does. I mean, all your guesses are pretty good. We just listen to it again now that we know what it is't imagine a

toad as we hear this. My gosh, do it again, Encore. I don't know why it's so much sillier nerves. I'm just imagining a bunch of I like the one that's dramatic that's coming in white higher than everyone else. Like yes, like a little barbershop quartet made with me, Um Katie.

I'd love to do a follow up podcast with you sometime where we talk about the theory that Havanna syndrome is actually just people being unnerved by the sound of hearing bugs and frogs at night in Havana, which they've never heard really because they're Americans who don't live in a tropical climate. Have you heard this theory? I think I did hear this at one point that like maybe it was Cicada's and people like weren't expecting it to be so loud or something or had their sleep disrupted.

That's like what the hotel. The guys at the hotel thought was happening, because they were like, yeah, it's Cuba. We don't have like air conditioning or whatever, you know. We we just that people weren't used to like hearing ambient outdoor noise because and and I'm with the camp of people that think it's psychological and not a real condition but sort of like a thing that people learn about and then think they have um some kind of

like what is it like psychogenic? Uh yeah, But I do think that people, you know, when you when you go anywhere else and you hear the different ambient sound of the outside in that place, it can be really unsettling if you're not used to it. No, but I absolutely agree with the heaven a syndrome thing. I think that if it's anything, it's probably a bunch of like

cicadas or frogs or something thing. Um. Probably not like um communist microwave ray, because I don't think that makes sense with physics, But I do think it makes a lot more sense for a bunch of people like who are not used to it, being like, oh god, I'm surrounded by frog noises and they don't even sound like frogs. But yeah, the narrow mouth toad, the sound we just heard is it's adorable. They only grow to be up to two inches long or fifty three millimeters. They're found

in North America, midwestern woods and swamps. Um and uh, yeah, this call that they do is their mating call. That's that's what they have to offer the ladies. And um. They actually sometimes even do their mating call while like half buried in sand because they don't want to like risk getting caught by a predator, and so they just kind of pop their head out of the sand and started doing this like may with me. This hit me

a girl, you know you're looking to fine. Also, while they're mating, males excrete and adhesive substance that's like glue out of their chest so that they stick to the female better, so that a rival male them off super clean, very clean, but rules. Well again, back to the giant squid. The sperm pockets. Nobody knows how they get embedded in the female giant squids muscles. Yeah, they have some theories, but no one's ever seen it happen. Um, that's where

the muscular elongated penis comes in. They were like, we just assume, like somehow it gets it gets it on there and then it um. I just love. They just don't know. We don't know. Yeah, there's so many different methods of sperm delivery to like some squid, like an octopus will just like throw their sperm at the female run away because they're afraid of getting eaten. So as

one does just like just like here's my sperm. Sorry, but there was a there was a phrase in the article and it was a science article, so I thought it was especially funny. But it was like the scientists tracking the sperm spangled females sperm and I was like, that is what they are say, does that sperm spangled And they said, the giant swood has something called like

a seminal receptacle. Seminal receptacle. Yeah, it's beak. So they were like, maybe it goes in there, but then we don't know how it gets from there to being embedded in the muscles. Just I love trying to think about something that breaks your brain to think about. I was saying, it's like in all those HP Lovecraft stories, they're always like, oh, it's like the horror of this, like tentacle creatures indescribable. I love the idea that it's like their love making

is literally indescribable, because I've ever seen it. Yeah, how we got to do like a whole episode just a gooey, weird squid and stephal pod mating because it is the strangest there are things where like this. I would love to just do a mating episode. I'm very interested in frog balls in snake balls and frog balls um, which is not genitalia. It's when they make they make like a critter ballall mate with one female. Yeah, yeah, it's like an or mash ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah, an orgy

bit round. It's like one of the most incredible things I've ever I've ever seen, a spherical orgy. Yeah, looks like danials trying to look at it. Be or snake ball, look up snake ball browsers in private mode. Is it similar to a rat king? He is? Actually it's just like a rat king, but it's like a horny rat. Yeah. Oh god, I'm so stoked to look at this horrifying picture. Wow, that damn that is a horny snake ball right there. Nice, I love it. The frog ball is even better. Get ready.

The frog ball is genuinely like, Oh, it's like they're having a little friend pile. They're having a little let's see this. Oh man, where does legs start and mouth begin? We're like the one that's like got one foot on the other one's shoulder, like me in like the beginning of a rugby match. But horny. But that actually, that's that's horny already kind of wish well it's too late now yeah, I clicked all right. So it's like when you see like the spider with the baby spiders on

its back, and you wish you hadn't seen it. I kind of like those though. I think they're sweet, Like you love your babies, you love all five hundred of your babies. In any other context, I would agree with you, But then I can't get over it. Too many little spiders scare me. I big scare, Like what if what if they were all contained within a baby Bjorn? Though? That was like spider like? Would that be better? That's cute? Honestly, yes, thank you that that really helps. Thank you five hundred

little pacifiers on this one, big baby Bjorn. Anyways, to the mystery sound for this week. So the hint is wind shield wipers, an el or somebody trying to find his damsel in distress. It's like that warble that Okay, what do you guys think? If you guess correctly, I'll just bliep you at bird. I agree, that's sound. That sounded like a bird. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that. Yes, I agree with Lydia all birds. That was a singular all bird noise right there. It's birds, Molly, what do

you think? Ah, yeah, it's birds. It's birds first, it's birds. Well, the answer to our mystery sound will be answered in next week's podcast on next Wednesday. Um, but thank you guys so much for joining me. Where can people find you? Daniel Lydia and uh squid Molly. You can find me at Molly Lambert on Twitter. That's pretty much. You can find me on Twitter. Two. I'm at you know Lydia like k and O w l y d i A uh and dog dot com where I write comedy collumps,

uh and my Last Fruits. No, just about everything. It's just a very fun website name I'm still there. Not about how that poor bear was forced to eat. It's not a call back to the hot dog Eating Bear, the tragic story of the hot dog eating bear. It's a fun comedy website. Um. And you can find me on all the social media's at DJ underscore, Danial, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, all that stuff. DJ Underscore d A n now find

me there saying stupid about nothing? But isn't that all? Podcast? Yes, thank you, and you can find me at Katie Golden or the podcast Creature feature Pod on Instagram, Creature feature Pod on Gmail. It's a Creature Creature pod at gmail dot com where you can send me in your guests from the Mrs Animal sound Noise, your questions, pictures of squids. Uh or you can find the show on Twitter at creature feet pod. That's f T dot f et That is something very different. Um and thanks to the Space

Cossicks for their super awesome song excel Lumina. If you're gonna try the show it just drop into review. I love it.
