[00:00] Hey, Wowser fams, Guy Roz and Mindy here, and before we start the show... If you're looking for ways to celebrate our Earth today and every day, visit Tinkercast.com slash Earth to find activities, episodes, and videos that bring the wows of the world right to you.
Speaker 2:
[00:32] And while you're at it, don't forget to show your gratitude to the Earth today. It does a pretty good job of taking care of all of us. So let's all remember to take care of it too.
Speaker 1:
[00:43] That's it. Now let's get back to the show.
Speaker 3:
[01:09] Oh wait, no, I said laughing twice. Hello, and welcome to Wee Wow on the Weekend. I'm your host, Dennis. And that's Reggie, my co-host. This is the show where we hang out in my mother's basement, chit chat, and answer questions from our fans, and listen to Tinkercast podcasts. Hey, Reggie, did you have any dreams last night? You did? Tell me. What? You dreamed you were flying? Reggie, you can already fly. You don't have to dream it. You were flying on Mindy instead of her flying on you? That's so funny. What did I dream about? I dreamed that I was in a store, or maybe it was a house, or maybe it was a parking garage, and someone was selling something. Oh, and then something else happened. I can't remember it. The more I think about it, the more I'm forgetting. My dream. My dream is gone. Reggie, it's gone. Oh, you're right. I could just have another dream tonight, and tomorrow, I'm gonna remember what it was. Reggie, no, I don't want to do a dream journal. I'm sure I'll remember what my dream is next time. Okay, let's move on to the Q&A segment. All right, let's just get the old answering machine pulled up here. Okay, here we go. Hi, you've reached Dennis from We Wow on the Weekend. That's me. Do you have a question? Well, I do too. Lots of them. And who's going to answer all my questions? You? Probably not. But I guess I can answer yours. Leave me a message.
Speaker 1:
[03:23] Hi, Dennis. My name is Thomas and I have a question for you.
Speaker 3:
[03:26] Hi, Thomas. What you got?
Speaker 1:
[03:27] If there's a country called New Zealand, what happened to the old one?
Speaker 3:
[03:31] Wow, great question, Thomas. What happened to the old Zealand? Reggie, you're right. And the old York and the old Jersey and old Hampshire and old Brunswick and old Orleans. This is a mystery, Reggie. Someone or something out there is stealing old cities and states and countries. We have to do something. We should investigate and search the globe for these stolen locations. Dennis and Reggie, World Detectives!
Speaker 4:
[04:07] Let's go!
Speaker 3:
[04:10] Right after we finish the show and take a nap. Next question.
Speaker 5:
[04:14] I'm nine years old. My name is Lorenzo.
Speaker 3:
[04:17] Hi, Lorenzo.
Speaker 5:
[04:18] I don't have a question, but I do have a joke.
Speaker 3:
[04:24] Oh, wait. I laughed too early. What's the joke?
Speaker 5:
[04:27] Why do jellyfishes not have brains, but they always know where to go?
Speaker 3:
[04:31] Why do jellyfishes not have brains, but they always know where to go? I don't know, Lorenzo. Why?
Speaker 5:
[04:37] Because they go with the flow.
Speaker 3:
[04:41] I get it. Yeah, of course I get it. It's like when I go to the water park and float around in the lazy river. I just get in my tube, lay back and pretend like I have a nerve net instead of a brain, just like a jellyfish. And then I fall asleep and get sunburned and fall out of my tube and then chase my tube, but it looks like all the other tubes. And then I'm all like, hey, which tube is my tube? And no one will help me. So I just float with my life jacket for a while. And then I try to swim against the current, but I can't because I'm not a strong enough swimmer, just like a jellyfish. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ah, good joke, Lorenzo. Next question.
Speaker 5:
[05:26] I interrupt the song for everybody sing along.
Speaker 3:
[05:28] What is this? What is happening?
Speaker 2:
[05:40] STOP INTERRUPTING THE SONG!
Speaker 3:
[06:00] That was incredible! Reggie, someone sent in a brand new song! Who called that in? Jake? Bravo, Jake, bravo! Reggie, do you think more of our devoted listeners have written songs? Or do other cool creative things? Reggie, I just had an amazing idea. What if we get everyone to leave us a voicemail of their special talent? Yeah, and then we put their talent on the show, like some kind of performance recital. Oh yeah, that, a talent show, that's even better. Okay, you heard us listeners, we're gonna do a talent show. Hooray! So leave us a message of you singing a song or maybe reading a poem or maybe, what else Reggie? Oh yeah, playing an instrument, that'd be cool. Or anything else really, we'll take all talents. Right, right, right, right, right. Okay, Wowzers, the number is 1-888-7-WOW-WOW. That's 1-888-7-WOW-WOW. Call us and leave a recording of your talent. Okay, that takes care of that. Next up is a little segment I like to call Inside Tinkercast Studios. Ahem, Inside Tinkercast Studios. This is the part where we revisit an episode of one of my favorite Tinkercast shows. And today, we're listening to Wow in the World Season 3, Episode 22 called Scaredy Sharks and the Science of Fear. Sharks? Reggie, I'm scared of sharks. Yeah, every word in that title is scary, except for science. And actually, I'm a little scared of science too, if it gets too loud. Or fast. Or sticky. Oh, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous. Okay, I'll be brave. For my listeners. Here we go.
Speaker 6:
[08:12] And play.
Speaker 2:

[09:17] Welcome to One Take Studios, home of the Bruny Soto Show, a daytime talk show where we explore the issues, important issues like what's up with peonies in pools, where do birds go in the nighttime, and of course, our Flemmi award-winning episode, Cute Aggression, What Is It and Why? To attend a taping of the Bruny Soto Show, visit the box office. Welcome to One Take Students.
Speaker 1:
[09:52] Okay, Mindy, come on, right through this door.
Speaker 2:
[09:55] Hey, Roz, where are we? How long do I have to keep this blindfold on for?
Speaker 1:
[09:59] It's not a blindfold, Mindy, it's a silk eye mask.
Speaker 2:
[10:02] Can you just tell me where we're going?
Speaker 1:
[10:05] Well, I'm sorry for all the secrecy, but we're almost here.
Speaker 2:
[10:08] Almost where?
Speaker 1:
[10:09] Wait, stand right there.
Speaker 2:
[10:12] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[10:13] Ready? Three, two, one. Removing your eye mask and ta-da!
Speaker 2:
[10:23] One takes studios? The Bruny Soto Show? Guy Raz, did you get his tickets to the season premiere of the Bruny Soto Show?
Speaker 1:
[10:33] Happy unbirthday, Mindy.
Speaker 2:
[10:35] Aw, you remembered!
Speaker 1:
[10:38] How could I un-forget?
Speaker 2:
[10:40] Okay, Raz, this is the best unbirthday present I've ever gotten. It's also the only unbirthday present I've ever gotten. Thanks, buddy.
Speaker 1:
[10:49] You're welcome, Mindy. And on top of it being your favorite TV show, I also heard that this season premiere is based on one of my favorite areas of psychology.
Speaker 2:
[10:59] Psychology, the science of our minds and why we do the weird things we do. Behaviors.
Speaker 1:
[11:07] Right.
Speaker 2:
[11:08] And so what is the first episode all about?
Speaker 1:
[11:10] Our fears.
Speaker 2:
[11:11] Our fears?
Speaker 1:
[11:13] Yeah, that's right. Like having a fear of heights or a fear of the dark, both of which are sometimes referred to as phobias.
Speaker 2:
[11:21] Oh yeah, phobias are like those extreme fears, right? Like the kinds that are sometimes passed down from our ancestors.
Speaker 1:
[11:30] Exactly. Like, you know, there's not much reason to be afraid of the dark today. But 10,000 years ago, our ancestors would have had a lot of reasons to be afraid of the dark. For starters, there might be predators in the dark.
Speaker 2:
[11:43] Yikes. And did you know that the word phobia comes from the Greek word phobos, which translates into English as fear?
Speaker 1:
[11:54] Interesting.
Speaker 2:
[11:54] So, someone with a fear of heights might have...
Speaker 1:
[11:58] Acrophobia.
Speaker 2:
[11:59] And someone with anadidiophobia might have...
Speaker 1:
[12:03] Might have a fear of... Actually, I don't think I've heard of that one before.
Speaker 2:
[12:08] Fear of being watched by a duck, Guy Raz.
Speaker 1:
[12:12] A fear of being watched by a duck? Is that even a real phobia?
Speaker 2:
[12:16] You know it is. Maybe they'll have that one on the show today.
Speaker 6:
[12:20] Attention. Today's live taping of the Bruny Soto Show begins in five minutes. If you've already purchased your tickets, please make your way to security.
Speaker 3:
[12:29] Come on, Mindy. That's us.
Speaker 2:
[12:31] Right behind you, buddy.
Speaker 3:
[12:32] What? What?
Speaker 7:
[12:33] Please enter your pockets and place our belongings on the conveyor belt for screening. All right, you're clear. Keep it moving. You there with the elbow patches. Step forward, please. Okay, but... And you, with the toolbox? Whatever. Everything on the conveyor belt, please.
Speaker 2:
[12:49] Not a problem, Mr. Security Man.
Speaker 7:
[12:51] Thank you.
Speaker 2:
[12:55] There we go.
Speaker 1:
[12:56] Oh, Mindy, how heavy is your adventure toolkit?
Speaker 2:
[13:00] Yeah, I had no idea where you were taking me for the surprise today, so I had to prepare myself for every possible situation.
Speaker 5:
[13:07] Oh, man! What did you do?
Speaker 7:
[13:11] Hold on. The milk detectors are going off.
Speaker 1:
[13:14] Milk?
Speaker 7:
[13:15] Milk is prohibited on the premises. Bruni is lactose intolerant. Looks to be a lot of milk. Nearly four gallons.
Speaker 1:
[13:24] Mindy, what were you doing with four gallons of milk in your bag?
Speaker 2:
[13:30] Guy Raz, that could be anybody's milk who set off the scanner.
Speaker 7:
[13:33] Jerry, the scanner says the milk is in that case. The one that says Mindy's Adventure Toolkit and has the sticker on it that says warning contains milk. That's the one. Open it up and get rid of the milk.
Speaker 1:
[13:48] Mindy, are those cats jumping out of your toolkit? We talked about this.
Speaker 2:
[13:53] Now you know who the milk was for. Come on, cats.
Speaker 7:
[13:57] Okay, okay. Scanner says you're clear now. You can go through.
Speaker 2:
[14:01] Thank you very much.
Speaker 1:
[14:02] Come on, Mindy, let's go find our seats.
Speaker 3:
[14:05] What, what, what, what, what?
Speaker 6:
[14:11] We're live in two minutes. Two minutes to air. Hi, welcome to the Bruny Soto Show.
Speaker 1:
[14:17] Oh, yeah, hi. We're just trying to find our seats.
Speaker 6:
[14:21] Oh, sure.
Speaker 3:
[14:22] Let me just take a look at your tickets. Ooh, front row. You two are seated right down here. And here are your ponchos.
Speaker 1:
[14:31] Ponchos?
Speaker 3:
[14:32] Ponchos.
Speaker 1:
[14:33] Uh, why do we need ponchos?
Speaker 3:
[14:36] First three rows require ponchos.
Speaker 1:
[14:39] That doesn't really answer my question.
Speaker 3:
[14:41] Yeah, but it does kind of rhyme. Sorry, sir, we're in a bit of a rush. Just please take your seats.
Speaker 1:
[14:46] Okay, but...
Speaker 2:
[14:47] I'm Guy Raz. Put your poncho on. We're going to miss the beginning of the show. It's like a glove.
Speaker 1:
[14:54] Ah, luxury.
Speaker 4:
[14:57] It's starting.
Speaker 6:
[14:58] Going live in 3, 2, 1.
Speaker 4:
[15:04] Hello, friends, and welcome to the Bruny Soto Show. Today we are exploring fears and the feelings that keep us awake at night. We meet an angler fish who is afraid of the dark, a flea who is afraid of heights, and a shark who is absolutely terrified of orcas.
Speaker 1:
[15:31] A shark who's afraid of orcas?
Speaker 2:
[15:33] I know, right? What do sharks have to be afraid of? They're like the lions of the sea.
Speaker 1:
[15:38] Wait, no, Mindy, I think I've heard about this before.
Speaker 2:
[15:41] Really?
Speaker 1:
[15:41] Yeah, there was a study done at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Speaker 2:
[15:45] I've been there, the one in Northern California? Yeah, what did they find?
Speaker 1:
[15:49] The scientists found that the great white sharks that swim off the coast of California would get out of town as fast as they could anytime orcas showed up.
Speaker 2:
[15:59] Orcas? AKA killer whales?
Speaker 1:
[16:02] That's right, and the part that really got the researchers curious was that these great white sharks would avoid these areas where the orcas swam for almost a year after they first saw the orcas.
Speaker 2:
[16:15] Sharks scared of whales?
Speaker 1:
[16:18] Yeah, it seems like there's a pretty good reason they're on this episode all about fears.
Speaker 2:
[16:23] I'll say.
Speaker 4:
[16:24] Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to bring out our first guest. Please welcome to the stage our first fearful friend from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, Hilton the Anglerfish. As always, we have our expert animal translator, Terry with us today. Say hello, Terry.
Speaker 6:
[16:47] Hi, Bruni.
Speaker 4:
[16:48] But I want to talk to you, Anglerfish. Tell me, Hilton, a fear of the dark must be pretty tough for a fish that lives 5,000 feet under the sea.
Speaker 6:
[17:01] That's right. When you get that deep, you can't see anything. Light rarely reaches any deeper than 700 feet past the surface.
Speaker 4:
[17:10] So how exactly do you keep yourself from being overcome with fear down there?
Speaker 6:
[17:18] Well, I have this neat little flashlight with me at all times. It's actually attached to my head. I sometimes use it to catch liner.
Speaker 4:
[17:27] I'm sorry. Did you say liner?
Speaker 6:
[17:30] Oops. Sorry, Bruni. Bad translation. Dinner. I sometimes use it to catch dinner.
Speaker 4:
[17:36] Well, Hilted, that sounds like something our audience would love to see. Audience, would you like to see Hilted's little flashlight? Steve, cut the light.
Speaker 6:
[17:51] Oh, no. Not the dark.
Speaker 4:
[17:55] Unbelievable! Well, Hilton, the angler fish, I can see your light, and you are shining bright.
Speaker 6:
[18:04] You know what? You're right. If it wasn't for the darkness, you wouldn't be able to see this little light of mine at all. I also wouldn't be able to catch dinner. I mean dinner. Thanks, Bruni. Thanks for helping me face my fears.
Speaker 4:
[18:19] Thank you, Hilton. Thank you for your bravery. After the break, a flea that just can't stand heights, and later, a shark whose crippling fear of orcas pushed him out of his hunting grounds for almost a year.
Speaker 2:
[18:37] And we're cleared. Oh, and I love this show. The drama, the rolling blackouts.
Speaker 1:
[18:43] It really is fascinating live TV, Mindy. I can't wait to hear what that shark has to say about his fear of orcas.
Speaker 2:
[18:51] Oh, yeah. Weren't you just saying that there was a scientific study about that? That's right.
Speaker 1:
[18:56] The study was conducted in the Feralonas National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of San Francisco in California.
Speaker 2:
[19:03] So how do you even measure how scared a great white shark is?
Speaker 1:
[19:07] Well, you get them to fill out a questionnaire.
Speaker 2:
[19:10] No way.
Speaker 1:
[19:11] Of course not, Mindy. I was just joking.
Speaker 2:
[19:14] You were joking?
Speaker 1:
[19:16] What the researchers did was to observe or watch very closely how the great white sharks and the orcas interacted when both of them were hunting for food in this National Marine Sanctuary. Uh-huh. And the researchers were able to observe these interactions in two different ways. So the first way was when great white sharks would actually bump into an orca out in the wild.
Speaker 2:
[19:42] Like when I bump into Dennis in the grocery store.
Speaker 1:
[19:45] Exactly.
Speaker 2:
[19:46] And what was the other way?
Speaker 1:
[19:47] Well, the other way was using a bit of math.
Speaker 2:
[19:50] I love math.
Speaker 1:
[19:51] So the researchers looked at the data or the information from 165 great white sharks that were tagged.
Speaker 2:
[20:00] Tagged? Like stuck in the mud?
Speaker 1:
[20:02] Well, not exactly. The researchers put these little devices called acoustic tags on the sharks to learn more about them and their behavior.
Speaker 2:
[20:12] Oh, so like what they eat and their migration patterns or where they swim.
Speaker 1:
[20:16] Exactly.
Speaker 2:
[20:17] So what did they learn from these 165 tagged sharks?
Speaker 1:
[20:22] Well, they compared the migratory patterns of these sharks.
Speaker 2:
[20:26] Migratory patterns as in where they had been.
Speaker 1:
[20:30] That's right. And they compared where the sharks had been with orca sightings.
Speaker 2:
[20:35] Huh. And then what?
Speaker 1:
[20:36] When the researchers compared how the sharks migrated to where they saw the orcas, they found that every time the orcas showed up, the sharks would just high tail it out and go further up the coast to do their hunting somewhere else.
Speaker 2:
[20:51] With their tail between their legs, I bet. Or fins. Fins between their legs. Anywho, it sounds like they were scared.
Speaker 1:
[20:58] Well, that's basically it, Mindy.
Speaker 6:
[21:01] Going live in three, two, one.
Speaker 4:
[21:07] And welcome back to the Bruny Soto Show. Today, we're delving into the deep blue sea of fear and insecurity. Our next guest is a flea with the local circus whose entire act depends on her soaring to great heights. And yet, this little parasite can't stand being more than 30 centimeters off the ground. Please welcome to the stage, Patricia the Flea.
Speaker 6:
[21:43] I can't see anything.
Speaker 4:
[21:45] You know what? Me neither. Camera 3, can we push in a little? Closer. That's it. Closer. Ah, there she is. So Patricia, you have a fear of heights. That must be difficult for a species of insect that can jump the way you can. I'm sorry, Terry, the translator, is Patricia speaking?
Speaker 6:
[22:11] I think so, Bruni. It's a strange dialect, but I believe I can translate. Okay, I think I've got it. Patricia says, that's right. If I try my hardest, I can leap nearly 30 centimeters into the air. If I were the same height as a human, that would be the equivalent of jumping over the Empire State Building.
Speaker 4:
[22:32] Wow, that is impressive.
Speaker 6:
[22:35] It would be if not for my fear of heights. See, whenever I jump over 10, 12 centimeters, I freak out. It's cost me everything. Just last month, I lost my job at the circus.
Speaker 4:
[22:48] That is awful and all because of a phobia you never asked for.
Speaker 6:
[22:54] I'd do anything to get rid of it.
Speaker 4:
[22:56] Excuse me?
Speaker 6:
[22:57] Sorry, I'd do anything to get rid of it.
Speaker 4:
[23:00] Well, Patricia, do we have a surprise for you? We contacted your old circus and explained your phobia faux pas, and they have agreed to take you back on. Not as a high flying trapezist, but as a contortionist.
Speaker 6:
[23:18] Huzzah! Oh, happy day! Ha ha ha ha!
Speaker 4:
[23:22] Better get stretching that thorax. Coming up after the break, our final guest, a shark with the crippling fear of orcas. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1:
[23:35] And we are clear.
Speaker 2:
[23:38] Man, I always thought that sharks were the biggest, baddest predators in the ocean. But I guess there was a bigger, badder predator out there all along.
Speaker 1:
[23:46] Well, Mindy, both Great White Sharks and orcas are what's known as apex predators.
Speaker 2:
[23:53] Meaning that they are at the top of their food chains.
Speaker 1:
[23:56] That's right. Meaning that they aren't usually eaten by any other animal in that environment.
Speaker 2:
[24:02] Ah, so the orcas are not going into the Great White Sharks territory to hunt them. They're just looking for the same food as them.
Speaker 1:
[24:12] Exactly. Elephant seals are actually on the menu and both species want to take a bite.
Speaker 2:
[24:19] But when they come face to face, the Great White Sharks turn and run.
Speaker 1:
[24:25] Because they would rather hunt in a different area where the orcas don't go.
Speaker 2:
[24:30] Wow, I guess everyone really is scared of something. Even a big scary Great White Shark.
Speaker 6:
[24:38] And we're live in 3, 2, 1.
Speaker 4:
[24:43] If you're just joining us on the Broody Soto Show, we're talking today about fears and phobias. Our last guest today is known as the Lion of the Sea.
Speaker 2:
[24:54] I told you.
Speaker 4:
[24:55] Measuring in at more than 15 feet, with more than 15 rows of razor sharp teeth. What could this terrifying apex predator possibly be afraid of? One word. Please welcome our next guest, Bruce the Great White Shark!
Speaker 2:
[25:23] Whoa!
Speaker 1:
[25:24] Look at the size of him!
Speaker 2:
[25:26] And look at the size of that tank!
Speaker 4:
[25:29] Whoa!
Speaker 1:
[25:30] Mama! Huh. Well, why do they bring out two tanks?
Speaker 2:
[25:33] Well, there's only one way to find out, Guy Raz.
Speaker 1:
[25:35] What's that?
Speaker 2:
[25:36] Button up your poncho, sit back, and enjoy the show.
Speaker 1:
[25:41] Oh, right.
Speaker 4:
[25:42] Now, Bruce, tell me a little bit about where you're from.
Speaker 6:
[25:46] My family is found all over the world, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic to the Pacific. But my immediate family, we tend to live and hunt just off of the coast of Northern California. Go Warriors!
Speaker 1:
[25:59] Yeah, sports!
Speaker 4:
[26:01] From Northern California. But that is not the case anymore, is it? Do you want to tell me what happened?
Speaker 6:
[26:08] Well, every September through December, me and my family migrate to the Farallon Islands off the coast of Northern California to hunt elephant seals for a couple of months. It's an old family tradition. We've been doing it for Sears.
Speaker 4:
[26:22] Sears?
Speaker 6:
[26:24] Sorry, years. We've been doing it for years.
Speaker 4:
[26:27] But last year was different?
Speaker 6:
[26:30] That's right. There we were, minding our own business when suddenly, out of nowhere, this pod of orcas show up.
Speaker 4:
[26:38] And you ran away?
Speaker 6:
[26:41] Well, yeah. Have you ever seen an orca before? They're terrifying. Me and my family, we hightailed it out of there to go eat somewhere else.
Speaker 4:
[26:48] And how long ago was this?
Speaker 6:
[26:51] One Sears ago. I mean, one year ago.
Speaker 4:
[26:56] It's been one year and you still haven't returned to your hunting ground?
Speaker 6:
[27:02] That's right. And I don't know if I'll ever go back.
Speaker 4:
[27:05] That's no way to live, Bruce. It sounds like somebody has to face their fears. What do we say, studio audience? Is it time for Bruce to face his fears? Bruce, it's time for you to face your fears right in front of all these good people. Studio audience, are you wearing your ponchos?
Speaker 1:
[27:29] Oh, yeah. Yes.
Speaker 4:
[27:31] Release the Yorka. Did you just see that?
Speaker 1:
[27:46] Mindy, Mindy, did they just drop that orca into that big empty tank?
Speaker 2:
[27:52] Jess, we finally found out what that tank was for.
Speaker 1:
[27:55] We also found out what these ponchos were for. I'm soaked!
Speaker 4:
[27:59] Bruce, I need you to look that orca in the eye and realize that it is a green apex predator just like you, with a family just like you, and that there is enough food to go around. Do you see? Looks like we have a breakthrough. And that's all the time we have, folks. Tomorrow on the Bruni Soto Show, a hippo and a deer trade diets for a week. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
Speaker 6:
[28:35] And we're clear. That's a wrap.
Speaker 2:
[28:39] What a show!
Speaker 1:
[28:41] What a finish! The way she was able to make those two predators make up!
Speaker 2:
[28:47] Whatever did happen with that research?
Speaker 1:
[28:49] Well, it proved that food chains aren't always as straightforward as we thought, and that sometimes a single environment can have more than one apex predator.
Speaker 2:
[29:00] And knowing that can help us to monitor and to research marine ecosystems in the future.
Speaker 1:
[29:05] Correctamundo!
Speaker 3:
[29:07] Hey guys! We're gonna have to ask you to move out of here. We got the National Pie Eating Competition starting in about 20 minutes. So are Reggie, although... Yeah, maybe I do. No, what I realized is that Dennis' are apex predators too. Yeah, I'm at the top of my food chain. I eat oranges and bagels and shrimp fried rice.
Speaker 4:
[30:00] And nothing eats me. What?
Speaker 3:
[30:03] Nuh-uh. Giant pigeons do not eat Dennis'. Oh, you were just kidding. No, I knew that. But I'm going to wrap up the show just in case.

Speaker 4:
[30:53] Wait!
Speaker 3:
