Jen Psaki: Joe Biden Is a 'Night Owl'
"Are we going to, are we going to rise to the occasion? Are we going to blow it? It's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. Biden runs again, that seems to be the best case scenario for us. I'm convinced he will not, I don't think he can. Jen Psaki yesterday said that Joe's a night owl. Yeah, sure he is. He drinks some warm milk at 7 o'clock and he's in bed lights out by 7 30. You ain't kidding anybody, Jen. He's a night owl. He's a night owl. That's why his announcement yesterday about the banking industry and the bailout at 9 a.m.. That was big for him because he's not normally up at 9 a.m.. Can you imagine saying that? But the president of the United States, he's a night owl night owl. So if he gives a speech at 9, must be a big deal. She said that. So good, good luck on her new MSNBC gig. She'll just fit in perfectly over there. She'll be a big hit on MSNBC.

Newsmax's John Bachman Shares a Memory of R.E.M.
"High school, Aryan was just getting started in Athens. Okay, the B-52s, you know, Ariana would just get started. And Michael saw it and the rest of them would play and you brought up this and I want you to emphasize this a little bit. 40 watt club. Georgia club. I mean, the not owl, which used to be out for country out there off of full 41 north. We're seeing and there's still all those scenes today. These new bands, these new, you know, that new music is coming out of. But Michael sobbing and they would do a buddy of mine, Steve McNeil, he used to go down and to Athens and they would play a set and then they'd sit out in the bar and just hang out with everybody. And that was another cool thing too about it is, you know, I never got the chance to see REM play at the 40 watt and one of those impromptu sets. But what I did see is a lot of members of REM and other bands, David schools, or Mike Mills, or maryam, just hanging out at the bars. And when I would go, I mean, I remember there was a brief period of time and I believe it was the summer of 2000 spring of 2000. I had gone to see a band called the old 97s at the 40 watt, and I was going up to the bar to grab a beer and I looked over and it's Mike Mills next to me and I kind of gave him a nod and a knowledge we was, he obviously had no idea who I was. And then a little while later, radiohead played a concert at Stone Mountain in a very small venue. It was amazing to be there. And I saw Mike Mills again, he kind of bumped into each other, and it was that sign, again, he didn't know who I was, but he knew that I knew who he was and we had both been too amazing concerts and brief period of time and he kind of gave me that sign of acknowledgment like, all right, kid. You obviously have good choice in music.

Flaco the escaped zoo owl can remain in the wilds of NYC
"An escaped Eurasian eagle owl from the Central Park zoo can remain in the wilds of New York City after two weeks of living the free life. Flacco flew the coop February 2nd after his enclosure was vandalized, but the owl never went far a foray to Fifth Avenue. Police using yellow crime scene tape to block the area. The owl's little head on swivel watching the crowds and cops watch him, then days of flying around the park, perched in trees and on the grass, crowds taking pictures, but zoo officials had concerns about Flacco hunting on his own after living in captivity, so they spent time trying to lure him with bait and owl calls. Finally, evidence he's hunting Flacco coughs up fur and bones. There are pictures of him catching and feeding on rats, now zoo officials are suspending recovery operations saying they'll keep a close eye on the owl's health for now. Julie Walker, New York

Chris Kohls and Sebastian Discuss the Influence of 'Blade Runner'
"Little clip of Rachel talking about fake owls, play cuts. Do you like our own? It's artificial. Of course it is. Must be expensive. Very. I'm Rachel. Deckard. Just the way she walks is like a robot, an elegant robot, not a C-3PO, just beautiful performance. But in the background, what are we here? Vangelis. Let's talk about the music. Without the music, this would be half the movie. Would it not, Chris? You know what? Odd. I did notice the music when I was watching it because it was something that I thought this inspired a lot of 80s music. This inspired a lot of the kinds of music that you would hear in films. What's odd about this movie, the music, the setting, it was all copied. You can see the influences and so many other projects. And, you know, as she at one point, I'm watching this movie and I'm thinking, this movie may have messed up other projects a little bit. Really? Why? Because it's too influential. Well, it's so ambitious. It does so many things that shouldn't work, but do, right? There are things in this film that I would say, if you told me that you wanted to make a movie like this, I would say, no, that's going to be terrible. You're not going to be able to do that well enough for that to be pulled off, right? But because they're able to pull it off, it's sort of like a beautiful woman wearing a bizarre looking bit of fashion. She can pull it off, but then you get regular folks wearing it and it looks terrible. And I notice this happens sometimes in fashion where super beautiful women will wear particularly weird. You remember the onesie trend, everybody's wearing a onesie. Yeah. I had a girl in LA. I had a friend at LA. She was a model. And she used to wear this onesie all the time. She looked amazing. It took super cute. And then I would see these other girls weren't. And they looked just like homeless people. And so you can not wear the ones he doesn't work. And I feel like in the 80s, there were so many movies that were influenced by Blade Runner, but couldn't do it to that caliber.

Community Farm-Farm intro and wrap
"A community farm in Colorado is keeping the environment in mind by replacing traditional farming equipment. Brett beardmore's owl tree farm has ditched the tractors for chickens. There's a lot of the baby boomer farmers are disappearing. Nobody's wanting to take on the next generation. And so there's kind of this weird opportunity that we see to help guide the guide farming methods into a better direction. The ten acre property isn't much as far as farms go, but it's enough to do things their way. Co owner Forrest Carlson says the chickens on site turn the soil, which releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than traditional tilling wood. All that knowledge, all that equipment, all that exists, it's just a matter of, you know, helping people realize that there's a different way to do it. There's a mobile chicken coop, which makes it easier to move the animals from patch to patch wherever they're needed. I'm Ed Donahue

"owls" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"Split to what I've always gone with. Yeah, I mean, I think every family has their own name for that stuff, right? Sure. Are you saying that split is like a scientific term? I don't know if it's scientific, but I feel like it's widespread. I don't think coined it or anything like that. Well, you never know. Yimmy is quite clever. It's the wordsmith. Stuff she says spreads on the Internet like wildfire. I believe it. All right, so let's hear. That's the email I want is what do you call an animal? And you know what we're talking about, like a froggy, like frog's legs. Spread on the ground. Yep. All right. So humans, like we said, we love owls. It seems like humans have always been fascinated. They're very famous, was it the chauvet cave in France? With all those amazing cave paintings from 20,000 years ago, there is very distinctly an owl drawn. And, you know, whether it's ancient Greece, it's just people have always been fascinated with owls, I think. One reason is that it can be very useful. Like if you're a farmer, you want owls around for pest control. Yeah, apparently a single barn owl will eat 50 pounds of gophers in a year. lot of gophers. Gopher doesn't weigh a pound. That's a ton of gophers. And then a single barn owl family will eat about 3000 rodents in a four month breeding cycle. Wow, wow. And so not only is that natural and circle of life kind of stuff, the farmer can feel good about that. They'll also save on poison, which is a problem, not just for the rodents that the farmers poison, but for the owls that eat the poison rodents. There's a lot of owls that have died incidentally because farmers have used poison bait on their ropes to try to control rodents. If you've got owls, you don't have to worry about rodents. So farmers heart owls. That's right. And owls and humans generally hurt each other. But I did back when I was on social media years ago, I remember seeing more than one neighborhood boast about joggers being attacked by owls in the neighborhood. And so I looked it up today and it definitely happens on the reg. They say if you're out for an early morning jog, maybe don't have a ponytail flapping, tuck your hair up in a hat. Because people there are a lot of reports. No one's ever been like, you might get a little scratched up. So it's not like a fatal thing or anything like that. You probably won't even get injured, but those owls are big and to have one scratching at your head. Briefly, even probably pretty scary. Yeah, for sure. Those crepuscular owls sound like they're terrible. But what's the deal with the wisdom and the owls? Because that's the thing since I was a little kid. You always associated owls with having the little graduation cap on. Right, exactly like the one from the tootsie roll pop commercials. Yeah. Or owl from Winnie the pooh? Sure. So there's two schools of thought. And they're not necessarily the mutually exclusive, but one is that the archaic Greeks about 3000 years ago are the first ones to attribute wisdom to owls by pairing them with Athena who was one of Zeus's daughters and a goddess of wisdom. And her favorite companion was an owl. So that, some people say, there you go. That's it. Other people say, I actually, I wonder if people just looked at owls and saw their giant eyes that make them look very intelligent and said that is a very intelligent animal and maybe that's actually what gave birth to pairing Athena with the owl in the first place. Who knows? Yeah, I mean, if you've looked at an owl in the face, it feels like they are deep thinkers at the very least. But as far as birds go are medium smart, is that fair? Sure. Yeah, I'd say. Not super intelligent, not the dumbest. B minus students may be. Sure. They're like, they're like, I was. That was a B student, I would say. Oh, yeah. Good for you. Where were you? B minus? I was seized a lot of times. And yeah, not until I got to college that I really started excelling. Yeah, I made a's and B's in high school generally. Oh, wow. Man. I looked up to people like you. No, you didn't. Yes, I did. Oh, yeah. I would just, yeah, I would kind of like hang back and watch you from afar creepily in the library during lunch. Was that you? Yeah, all right. Never knew that was you. That was totally me. Yeah, we've known each other for way longer than you realize. That's very creepy. So it's not just the archaic Greeks and us alive today that said, you know, owls are very wise or there's something about owls. There's tons of superstitions around the world. And in fact, the Romans said an owl foreshadowed the death of Julius Caesar very famously. I didn't see how. Maybe it flew into the Senate or said like Caesar looked or something. But it's very much associated with the death of Caesar. Yeah, and I think a lot of different cultures have different. Sort of folklore, like if an owl visits you in a dream like this might happen. I think different cultures think different things about owls. But I think it's usually bad luck, right? Yeah, it depends Hindu culture says that the owl is something to do with Lakshmi, the goddess and so the owl is a symbol of luck. But apaches said that if you dream of an hour, you're probably going to die. Yeah, it's kind of all over the place. And it makes sense that so many different cultures would have owl superstitions is because they've been around for so long and they're spread all over the world. So so many cultures have interacted with owls and just fallen under their spell. I love it. Count me as one. Me too. I got one other thing, chuck. There are owl cafes in Japan. And you can go to them and hang out with owls. And I've done that. And I did that in Tokyo, and it's one of the coolest things I've ever done. And upon researching this, I found that you are not supposed to do that. Oh really? Is it like riding an elephant? Kind of been in a different way. Like owls are super sociable. They're totally chill with humans. They're not scared or anything like that. And they're generally treated well, but most owl species are nocturnal and you're going to the Al cafe during the day in most cases. So they're forcing the owls to you're making the owl stay awake when it otherwise would normally be sleeping and that's not good for anybody. I got you. So I'm sorry to all the owls.

"What that does to your day? I know. I've thought about that many times. And you're right, it is hard not to laugh at it, 'cause it's just so nuts. And oh my God. Yeah, but at the same time, it's like, okay, they're about to die, but they're being taken on the most thrilling experience of the entire life, yeah. At least they get to go out like that. But yeah, it's really, it's sad to see like a fish just flipping back and forth. Not like furiously. It's more just like kind of anxiously flipping back and forth. Like, what's going on? Almost like if it were a person, it would be it's the equivalent person sitting in a corner with their knees up to their chest rocking back and forth. That's the motion that those fish make when they're in the talons. Yeah, and I've also seen them drop said fish and swoop down and grab it out of the air, which is also very impressive. Oh, wow, that's just playing with your food. Really quite a show. Wow. But the owl back to the owls. Like you said, they do have those sharp talons. And they spend, you know, they spend a lot of their time hunting. When they're not hunting, they're generally resting, or roosting, which is resting. And most of the time, they'll roost alone, but sometimes they share space. They can kind of mix it up a little bit. They're generally loners, but they can also hang out around other owls, especially in breeding season. They may hang around a little more near other owls. Yeah, it's called a communal roost. And there are some advantages. Like you said, during breeding season, it's easier to find a mate. Sure. If it's cold out, it's much easier to stay warm in a small little area with a bunch of other owls. They apparently will trade information about hunting grounds nearby, and I don't know how they do that. I didn't see how, but I thought that was pretty awesome. And then also the more owls there are, the less likely the owls are to be mobbed by other birds. Yeah, and that's a thing. It didn't surprise me it happened to owls because I've also seen this at the Lake with hawks and falcons. When you see one of them coming up on a nest, like looking for some eggs or baby birds, they will be attacked by tiny little birds, they will just come after them basically and just say, there's a lot of us. We can fly in a lot like quicker zigzaggy patterns. And they just, they kind of swarm them and intimidate and confuse and just try and drive them away basically. They're like, you like being harassed, huh? Yeah. I'm not touching you. It's pretty cool to see because, you know, these big giant Birds of Prey, it's kind of interesting that they can be thwarted by a gang of tenacious little birds. It's just so heartwarming to see that 'cause I don't think I've ever seen it unsuccessful. Have you? It always works. No, it seems like they're always like, all right, fine, I'm out of here. Well, if you're going to be like that about me eating your children, I'm going to take a fish on the ride of his life. You want to take our second break and come back about and talk about making new owls? Sure. I thought you didn't say making love, but
Stuff You Should Know
"owls" Discussed on Stuff You Should Know
"You are in the world. Yeah, and the difference between a roost and a nest is a roost is where they sleep for the night or the day actually is more like it. And then the nest is where they have their babies and rear their little ones. Or what they're called. And because that's all they really need, like you can find that just about everywhere in the world, and that's one of the reasons why owls have been so successful, almost everywhere on the world. In addition to the fact that they're night hunting maniacs. And so you can find them in sub Saharan Africa and the tropics in Hawaii. And the habitats they live in are also just all over the place. Like wetlands, marshlands, the Arctic tundra, the snowy owl, which fans of Harry Potter are familiar with hedwig. How I'm sorry she was a snowy owl. And they hunt in the Arctic and live in the Arctic. Forests of any kind deserts, that little elf owl that you're so fond of understandably so they live in the desert, right? Yeah, they eat a lot of insects, a lot of spiders, they even eat scorpions, the occasional small reptile, if it's small enough, and where are you going to find that in the desert? Yeah, and then they also live in the cacti that you find in the desert. They live in little hollowed out holes of the, how do you say that saguaro? Cacti? That sounds good. The big famous, you know, like any time bugs Bonnie's watching through the desert. Yeah. Exactly. That's the saguaro as far as I know and ALF owls live in hollows in the saguaro cacti. Yeah, I think I've drawn a picture of an owl inside the hole. A cactus hole. Really? Yeah. Was that when you were living in numa? No, but you know, sometimes when you have a kid, you sit around and draw things with them. And like one of my go tos as a kid was a desert scene because the cactus is pretty fun to draw. And anytime I drew a cactus, I would draw a little hole with a little Al face. Really? Yeah, and I have one here at the house from the past two years that I will take a picture of it and put it on my Instagram. And maybe even on the stuff you should know Instagram, actually. I think that's a great idea. The thing is, the reason I'm like, wow, really impressed is because I had no idea that owls, first of all, lived in the desert, but secondly, nested in cacti. I don't know how I feel. I started researching this. So I'm very impressed. I always did that though. And I always, anytime I drew like a big oak, I would draw a hole with like a squirrel face. Oh, that one makes sense. I knew that. Yeah. I was just a dump kid. I don't know how I knew about owls and cactus, but I'm impressed. The great horned owl because they're so huge and embossed. They hunt just about everywhere. And then there's burrowing owls, which are almost like the roadrunners of owls. And squirrels Prairie dogs, sometimes turtle burrows. The owls will be like, hey, you're not using this anymore. I'm going to take it over. Thank you. There is one kind of owl that burrows its own burrows, the Florida burrowing owl, but that's from what I saw basically the only the only kind that actually creates its own burrows. But yeah, they also barn owls, obviously roosting barns. A lot of vowels are totally fine in the suburbs or the city or in parks. I mean, it's not like you exactly live out in the country and you've got owls in your backyard, you know? Yeah, absolutely. And one thing you were talking about road runners, a very fun thing to do. If you ever have a few minutes, it's just Google or website search engine of your choice. Running owl and just look at these pictures of owls running on the ground, a lot of times they're little babies, which we'll see sometimes where they can fly. They run. But it's my understanding. That's one of the reasons maybe the only reason they can turn that one talent around is if they're not, they don't need it to grasp on something. They can turn it around to run. Yeah. And just this image of a barn of little baby barn, right? It looks like a person in a little fuzzy suit. Yeah, because they stand up. The barn owls in particular stand up pretty straight and erect, like people. And there was actually a viral video that a lot of dummies on the Internet were like, these are aliens where somebody had gone into their barn. And found two baby barn owls that were just standing there staring back at the camera. And people were like, it's obviously Ali. It's pretty famous video, actually. It's worth looking up. That probably seen it. As far as their behavior, you did mention sleeping at night. A lot of not all of them, but a lot of owls are nocturnal. That's the reason you're going to hear those hootie hoots and in the evening time, kind of when the sun's at dusky time when the sun's going down. All right, so I'm sorry. I have to ask, are you making outcast references when you say that? Say what? Who do you who's? No. Oh, okay. I wish I was. I love outcasts. Well, let's just say you were there. Okay, sure. Great. I was trying to make another outcast joke, but then I was just pushing it too far. There are hometown guys. We love outcast. Oh, for sure. Or sometimes in the middle of the night, I've been, like I said, woken up at the camp to some crazy owl activity. That's always fun to hear, to know their nearby hunting and doing their thing. But they're not all nocturnal. Some are diurnal. Some are crepuscular. That means they're active during dusk and dawn only. I love hate that word. Crepuscular, it does sound kind of gross in a way, doesn't it? Yeah, for sure. Crepuscular. There's a pus in the middle of it. Yeah, it does sound kind of dirty. Yeah, and it doesn't even fit. You would never, if you had no idea what crepuscular meant, you would never have intuitively be able to come up with that. Well, because it doesn't sound like the other two, you've got nocturnal diurnal and then crepuscular. They really ran out of ideas that the word factory. Yeah. It's very strange. But very efficient hunters at night. They fly almost completely silently. And really sneak up on it small rodent. Yeah. And they know the owls are around. So it's not like they're out there listening for the owls as well. But the owl has really adapted to swoop down there and near silence and get a squirrel or a rabbit of snake. Another owl, they will hunt each other. Yeah. They're really kind of heartless hunters. The one thing I don't like about owls that they predate on other owl species sometimes. I know. Do you want to talk about how they fly silently now? Because I think it's a pretty good spot for it. Let's do it. Take it away. So there really well known for that. I've never seen an owl fly in person. But it must just be absolutely eerie to see something flying past you and not making a sound. And the reason that they do that is because their wings and their feathers are basically made to muffle and break up sound. Like the leading edge. First of all, their wings are really broad, so they can soar more easily without flapping. So just by virtue of not flapping as much, they're making less noise. And then the leading edge of their wings are serrated, kind of comb like. And that takes turbulence, turbulence is that air hitting the wing and going over the top of the wing, which makes a lot of noise. Anyone's ever ridden an airplane can tell you that. But because it's serrated, it breaks that turbulence up into much smaller, more manageable micro turbulences, and then it takes those microtubules as it passes them through the feathers, which further dampens everything, right? That's right. They have those other soft feathers, I guess, sort of underneath. Is that the way to describe it? I think in the trailing end behind them. So yeah, depending on where if the owl is standing up with its wingspread, it'd be the bottom. If it's flying and be the rear. Okay. And they also can shift that sound energy away. And I think it's basically, it's a sound, but it's a higher frequency. So the prey can't hear it and presumably humans can't. Right. And then their secondary feathers kind of do the same thing too, right? They're all white working in concert. Whatever turbulence has made it through, the feathers are over the feathers. Like the fact that owl feathers on the bottom or rear edge are tufted, there's kind of tough to the best way to put it. They actually break the turbulence up further and they also, there's down behind them in the down absorbs any remaining sound. So like their wings just, they don't allow the owl to make sound as it's flying through the air. Yeah, and it's like you said, it's a big, broad, wide wingspan motion. So when something that large is moving, but it's quiet. It can be a little creepy. Yeah, I can imagine. And one of the things that also makes owls so incredibly amazing is that when they eat those rabbits or birds or squirrels, they other Birds of Prey, other raptors will kill them usually with talons. And owls, talons are amazingly strong, especially the great horned owl, supposedly it can exert as much force with its talons as the humans can't maximally with our bite. It's pretty amazing. But they don't actually kill the prey with the talents from what I saw. They use their beak to basically kill the prey after capturing it, and then what they do after that is even more amazing if you ask me chuck. Yeah, they swallow if they can. If it's too big, they have to tear it into pieces. But if they can manage it, they swallow it whole. And whatever they swallow, say it's a mouse, that little mouse goes to a temporary digestive organ called ventricular. And then it goes to the gizzard. And then from there, the gizzard digests whatever it can digest. And then whatever it can't digest, like, oh, I don't know, bones. Let's say, or fur or other feathers or whatever. It sort of just chills out down there for up to ten hours, like their digestive system is blocked for ten hours while this is happening. Wow. And it just, you know, sort of squeezes it into a regurgitated what they call a pellet and out bell it. If you've ever heard of Al pellets, it's not poop or anything. They just hack back up like a bony hairball almost of what they last ate. What they couldn't digest and absorb. That's pretty cool. I think bony hairball could be, this is like a weird Al what I had a band at the beginning of this career instead of just being a solo act. It probably would have been bony hairball. That's the only person who could have pulled that off too. So yeah, it's pretty amazing that owls just puke their undigestible parts of their food back up in a nice efficient pellet. And when they catch food if the hunting's like really, really good, they might not eat it immediately, they'll do what I remember alligators do. They'll basically go hide it. They stash it for a little while. And I think alligators did it to let the thing actually decay some so that they could pull it apart more easily. I get the impression owls aren't really doing that for that reason. They're just, there's just such an embarrassment of riches as far as the hunting goes. They're stashing it away for a day or two and then coming back and eating it later. I think I've seen Al pellets in the Woods and didn't know what they were. Did you pick it up and rub it between your fingers and sniff it and say, I don't know what this is. No, but I think there are times when I've seen a thing and I thought Jesus had a dead mouse. It looks like it could be, but it's not shaped like one. A giant thigh bone sticking out of it. I bet you anything those are out pellets. But you're going to be on the lookout now. Yeah, and if you see a bunch of them together, there are probably several hours, owls, nearby, because that means it's really good hunting ground and owls tend to stay near hunting ground. So if you see a bunch of owl pellets, there's a bunch of owls around you and you just probably look up and look closely and you'll see some. That's right. And as far as their hunting goes, there's a few different methods. Some are a little lazier than others. I think I would be a perch and pound sky. And that's the same here. Exactly what it sounds like. They kind of hang out on their perch, do their thing. They look around with those I tubes. And when they see something and only when they see something, are they going to sweep down very silently and snatch it up? Yes. Works pretty well. There's also quartering flight, which is, I guess, middling as far as exerting yourself goes. The owl just basically flies around and looks for prey down below. And like we said, they have amazing binocular vision, so they'll see something eventually, and then again, they swoop down and there goes the prey. And then there's a third called helicoptering, which I think I mentioned at the very beginning of the episode. Jerry's. Yeah, that's right. And that is the far and away the hardest way for them to hunt because they just basically hover over an area until they can locate the prey and then they swoop down and pounce and who knows how long they're going to have to helicopter. I actually couldn't find a video check. I looked really hard, but you know, when something happens, the Internet basically pushes everything else out in favor of that one thing. Well, there is apparently a firefighting helicopter. I think in California once, that was flying in the air in an owl flew in and just perched itself inside the helicopter. Wow. So if you search out owl helicopter, that's what you're all that comes up, yeah. I have seen Birds of Prey do this at the Lake where they're circling above, looking for fish. And then they will, they will stop in place and helicopter for a moment, and that's when you know that they've locked in on something. I mean, that's amazing too, how a hawk can see a fish in the water a hundred feet below them. Yeah. And then they dive and then grab the fish. And I don't laugh, but I always sort of joke about like, what that must be like for the fish to be just swimming along underwater and seconds later, be flying a hundred feet above the Lake. With, you know, being gripped by talents. Can you imagine

"The elf owl, sure. Which are ridiculously cute. They're like, I don't know if they're the same size or the same weight of a golf ball. Oh man. I know. It's gotta be weight. I think so. Golf ball, tiny. So I think the most familiar owls in North America and Europe are the true owls, right? But barnell is are found everywhere in the world basically. Yeah, but I think they're obviously because they're more groupings, they're more true owls. Right. And we were talking about the hooting and it's funny. I saw this in multiple places, this thing that you found, like when you hear a Bard, Al hooting, the who cooks for you and who cooks for you all. And I didn't get that until I watched the videos and paired it with what they were saying. And I kind of get it now. But I would argue that who cooks for y'all, 'cause it's still for still four hoots. Yeah, not 5 hoots. Yeah, you're right. I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm like, that's not quite it. Yeah, here, let me try my best attempt. So that's pretty close to the part, I want to see. Yeah, and I added the y'all in there for you. So I think that's pretty good. Yeah, I thought I did a pretty good album but that puts me to shame. So barn owls, so they're these little weirdos. They're their own family. They have heart shaped faces, and they also Hiss, that's like the call that they make as a hissing sound. They're total weirdos as we'll see. They're really cool looking and very interesting owls, but they're strange in their own way for sure. Yeah, and then you got, like you said, that screech owl that winning's the saw whet owl has sort of, they liking it to a file being scraped across saw teeth. I don't get that at all. I didn't get that at all, but it is kind of a high tone, and it does sound different than a lot of vowels, but I just encourage if you got ten minutes in your life. Yeah. Just sit around and listen to some alcohols. It's a good time. There's actually like hour and a half long YouTube videos. Like nighttime owl calls to calm you down and it's great. Like if you've run out of stuff you should know episodes and you have to sleep. Maybe you turn to something like that. I think we should talk about their head turn though. The exorcist move because when you see one and they turn it to look directly, those black eyes directly into your face. I don't care how much you love an owl. It is very a very chilling sensation that comes up for you. Yeah. It just is. Because the owls regarding you, they're not even looking at you. They're like sizing you up, you can tell, you know? Yeah, maybe that's it. It's like, are you food sort of look? I almost take it as more like, are you even worthy to be in the same area as any kind of thing? You know what I'm saying? A little hockey. A little bit. A little bit. Yeah. But they deserve to do that, I think. Owls can back that up. They're that cool. Yeah, well, they use that, like you said, because their eyes are on the front of their face. So they have to turn their head to be able to see because they're very focused, very long range binocular vision. It's some really good vision, but their eyeballs just don't move around. They can't move their eyeballs at all. Right. They have actually what are called I tubes. We have eyeballs that can move around, they're just tubes are fixed in their head. And yeah, so they have to turn their whole head. And the way that they turn their whole head 270° is three quarters of a full circle. That's really impressive. I mean, you try that. Don't try that actually. You might seriously injure yourself. But so in Al can turn their head that well, because they actually have a mechanism where blood is constantly pulling in this little collection area so that when they turn their head toward after a certain point, they cut off the circulation to their eyes and brains. So they would not be able to get any blood any longer to those very vital organs. Were it not for that collection of blood that's pulled up that's pumping it into their eye and brain while they're head is turned around to that degree. Amazing. I think that's the fact of the show. Yeah, I'll back that up. You got something better? I don't know, owl that sounds like a small winning horse pretty impressive too, you know? They also can have asymmetrical ears, meaning their ears can be at different heights on their own head. Which is really cool. And that just basically is a more efficient hearing system. They have really great hearing as well. They can hear they can hear like a mouse under two feet of snow moving around. Yeah, and they can really triangulate because the difference in the arrival time for a sound between one ear and the other since they're offset can help them pinpoint exactly where that prey is, and because their hearing is so amazing they can hear under dirt, snow, leaves, wherever the poor little mouse is trying to hide, the owl can actually hear it moving around in there. Probably breathing really nervous because it knows an owl is out there. And one of the other ways that they can hear so well check is because of their face too, right? Yeah, and this is super cool. If you've ever seen an owl, I mean, they all have feels like sort of flat faces, but some of them almost look concave in the way their face is really flat and then the feathers around their face kind of come out to form a little bowl almost. And that is an evolutionary trade. It basically turns their face into an ear in a certain way. Yeah, almost like an antenna or one of the discs. You hold up at a football game. Satellite dish. Sure. What do you hold up at a football game? Well, you know, the microphone people that sporting events. They have a good phone inside a big dish. So it catches the sound. I thought you were talking about fans for some reason. And my brain was like, I can't bring any image of what chuck's talking about up right now. There's a word for it, too. It's funny. You know, you pointed at something far away and it helps collect this out. Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Like owl face is probably with the canal face. I think that's what they call it. In the industry. Sure. Should we take a break? Oh, jinx, chuck. Jinx the spirit of the owl is with us. All right, we'll be right back

Bird of prey a dish. Yeah, raptors. And one of my favorite birds a dish. Yeah, mine too. Love me some owls. We get very excited here. Bryant house whenever we get to see some owl action in the backyard. We have some Woods and a creek behind our House and for a while there it seemed like they might have been nesting. We were getting a lot of visitors, but had one in the driveway one time on a branch that we went out and looked at and it did that deal where it's facing another way and hootie hoot at it. And it turns out just a little head around. Like the exorcist. Look right at us and Emily went, oh. And ruby was excited and we hear him at the camp, having, I don't know if they're having sex or if those are mating calls, but some of the crazy sounds they make. Man, they really really interesting. Yeah, I was looking up all the different owl calls and they are just magnificent and they're so varied. There's just so many different calls. They sound so dissimilar. It's really cool. There's one owl that sounds like a winning horse. Yeah. My favorite. I think it's the eastern screech owl. It sounds like a tiny little horses winning. It's one of the best bird calls we've ever heard. Ten out of ten. Would recommend? Yes. Okay. For sure. I just did. I think the ones that we hear are the crazy sounds I think are just regular, not the barred elves, but the great horned. Is that right? I think those are the ones that most people think of when they think of an owl. But I think they're just sexy calls, like mating calls, but they sound like howler monkeys almost. They do not sound like Elle. It's really crazy. Totally. Anyway, so I love Alice. I love owls too, and we're gonna talk all about owls and including the how they turn their heads all the way around, which is pretty cool. But one of the things that you hit upon right out of the gate chuck was that owls are raptors or Birds of Prey. So that would put them in league with hawks and eagles and that kind of thing. But there are a lot different from hawks and eagles, not just in their looks and appearances, but in their biology and the way that they hunt the way that they eat. You know, they're actually definitely their own thing. Yeah, there are a lot of stockier, I actually didn't look up wingspan, but to me, it's always signature owl when you really notice something out of the corner of your eye. I'm always like, oh wait, that has to be an owl because their wingspan is much more impressive than the hawks and the falcons around here. Yeah, for sure. And they have big old heads, of course, and little shorty tails. They got the toe is kind of a pretty featured pretty cool feature, don't you think? Yeah, it goes either forward or backward, I guess, depending on the doll's mood. There's another thing that's so quintessentially owl in that it has big eyes, not beady little eyes, like your hawks or your eagles, but like big, almost human like, it's perfectly round in the middle of their head. Not on the side of their head, but front facing eyes. So they have really amazing binocular vision. And they have probably the best night vision of any animal out there. Even better than cats, they say. Yeah, and you know one of the ways this is something I wasn't sure about because sometimes you see the owl with the black eyes that are, you know, I love my eyes, but those are little intimidating looking animal jet black eyes and then the regular eyes where you can see color and pupils and stuff and apparently they are strictly nocturnal ones are the ones with the black eyes. Okay. And that's how you can tell and it's not like it doesn't help them in hunting other than their black to aid in their camouflage so they can literally just be as dark as the night around them in every part of their body. I always took it as their eyes were black because they were saturated with all the souls that they captured over the years. I think that's probably true too. So Al's been around for a little while chuck and they're actually super because they've been around, I think the oldest owl fossil that we found is like up to 55 million years old. And because they've been around so long, they were living on earth at a time when the continents were in a totally different configuration than they are today. And so owls are like widespread. They're on every single continent, except Antarctica. Of course. And they live in all sorts of different habitats as we'll find out. I think 250 species total. And because they live in all these different places, but they're all still owls. They do slightly different things. They've evolved somewhat differently. Which is, I think it makes owls even neater, frankly. Yeah, and what's the little guy the elf? Yeah, the elf owl. Those are super cute. Those are the tiniest ones. And owls can get quite large though, but it's a different kind of big. They got that girth because they're short and stubby still. And in Georgia, I looked up, we have, I think, 8 different kinds of owls that you might see, but mainly the great horned and occasionally, if you're really lucky, you'll see a barn owl. The white ones. Yeah, there's cool white faces. Right. We got some screech owls and some burrowers here and there. But mainly you're going to see the great horned or the Bard or the barn. Yes. The barred ones are pretty great too. Those are the ones that look like real tree camouflage, and like browns and grays. They look, they look very much like the great horned owl except they don't have those tufts. You know? Yeah, is that what the horns are? Yeah. It's just tufts of feathers that makes it look horned. Yeah, they look like ears, but they're not ears. No, they don't, and they're actually they have nothing to do with hearing from what I saw. They're actually, I think they use them to communicate to other owls, non verbally, like look out behind you or something. And then they also can move them in different positions. So it breaks up the shape of the owl and lets them camouflage in with branches among the trees more easily. Oh, that makes sense. I mean, they are as cool as they are. They are like evolutionarily perfect killing machines, basically, is what owls are. But they're also super chill, too. Yeah, I mean, you talked about the camouflage. It is pretty funny now that I think about it. For being such a sort of large squat object, they can be really hard to find in your backyard when you're like, I hear it, and he's very close to me, or and then finally, your eyes adjust and you go, okay, there she is right there. Yeah, exactly. Very adaptable camouflage. Well, not doesn't change. Like an octopus, but you know what I mean? It would be amazing. They've adapted well. So you mentioned barn owls, they're actually a different family of owl. So all owls are grouped into the string forms. That's how I'm saying it. And then the string of forms are subdivided into these two families. Titan and D-Day, I added an extra syllable. Take ton of day. Yeah. Yeah, okay, I got it. Those are all the barn owls it's about 17 species. And then all the other approximately rest of the 250 species are streaky day, which are true owls. And the way that they typically differentiate them, chuck is that barnell is have the heart shaped face. True owls have more of a rounded disc face. Yeah. I think the bar nouns have a little bit longer legs. But they're, you know, they're fairly similar in size depending on the species unless you get some crazy outlier like

"I think I believe that these people hate black people. You have to hate minorities. And then it's funny because you don't see a healthy person on that telling you this stuff. Do you? Do you see anybody that's an official nutritionist saying anything like that? They put a fat gear on there to tell you about eating healthy. If it's not, no, it's stuff that's food out there that have no nutritional value. It's filler. So your body's not getting any nutrition. And then if you eat foods that don't have any nutrition and I don't have to say I'm a nutritionist myself, you begin to create this environment in your body where it latch on the fats and all these other chemicals and you become fat. Your body has nothing to draw from but fats and all these chemicals and all kinds of other stuff. Processed foods are not good for you. They ain't got nothing to do with you being black.

How would i get to your place. Where is it well forest. it's it's kind of in ballarat bendigo and would end so you would.

And that far john beautiful trees. I love the mall. Look it so mixed species. Foothill forest is what it's nine as so foothill. Forests are the forests that are kind of hugging the bottom of the great dividing range. They're not the mount nash. They're not alpine forests and so the variety of the trees depends on where you are in the forest. Where i am here. It's very mixed species. It's largely mess might.

Pawpaw Trees (MM #3839)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. For years growing up in the Midwest, we used to play out doors and you were always dealing with pine cones and trees and even at owls we were dealing with, but we also had a lot of pawpaw trees. What I didn't realize at the time is the pawpaw trees that dropped their fruit, if you will, fruit was edible. And the reason I never realized that was because you don't see popov fruit in the store. The American pawpaw is a close cousin, if you will, to the papaya. But while it is edible, it's not very shelf sustainable. So the minute it falls from the tree, it starts rotting immediately. And of course, most of the time, the pawpaws we saw on the ground while we're rotten pawpaws and there were mushy in their gushy. And from what I've read, they're good to eat, they're great fresh off the tree, reason I'm thinking about this and I hadn't thought about pawpaws for years, was because I saw somebody the other day on Facebook or on Instagram, actually eating a pawpaw and it hit me at that point. We could actually eat those things. I never tried, but now I'm curious. The pop up doesn't grow much around Tennessee, but you can see them in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and I'm going to try to find one because I got to try it out.

And of course, most of the time, the pawpaws we saw on the ground while we're rotten pawpaws and there were mushy in their gushy. And from what I've read, they're good to eat, they're great fresh off the tree, reason I'm thinking about this and I hadn't thought about pawpaws for years, was because I saw somebody the other day on Facebook or on Instagram, actually eating a pawpaw and it hit me at that point. We could actually eat those things. I never tried, but now I'm curious. The pop up doesn't grow much around Tennessee, but you can see them in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and I'm going to try to find one because I got to try it out.

How To Create a Stronger Mindset to Tackle Goals
"I definitely get into mindset itself and talking about stoicism the type of resilient thinking where the obstacle is the way instead of wishing for life without obstacles instead of wishing for short cut around the obstacles cherishing obstacle in knowing that is how we find our strength. That is how we get stronger. That's how we get better just like going to the gym. This is the jim for your brain. It's called alice. Static load in the body and the more resilient we are.

Load can be the more stress we can handle and the more stress we can handle mentally the more stress we can handle physically like pathogens and viruses and things like that and vice versa when we get better at physical stress doing cold plunges and hot saunas and doing fasting we get better at dealing with mental stress. So your body sees both The same those are alice static. Load another thing. That i would say there's really important is. If you're big. Goals are overwhelming. Start making small goals start raking them down into much simpler things start tracking things. Journaling things using an app. If you want using google key or evernote or something like that in just tracking things and tracking your small wins with your small goals. That's really important at the big old just seemed too big and break it down. Start making it simple. If your goal is for example to lose fifty. Which i don't think is a good good goal. I think a good goal is to fit into a certain dress or you know. Feel great about your body. Or whatever like i think a shift like. That's more important than getting caught up in a number but to i think breaking it down into smaller things you know like what's the dress size you want to get into for you know x weeks like those kinds of things like and or lifting a certain amount of weight by x. weeks You know being able to walk two miles by x. Weeks you start getting like your goals broken down to where instead of like one massive goal you have twenty smaller. Owl's and then.

"Can guess which birds were learning about today. That's right owls. Owls live on every continent except antarctica. They are adapted to all kinds of environments. There are owls that live in a snowy tundra. Owls that live in the desert and owls that live in the rainforest they live in. Grasslands and forests to if a region has good places to build nests. It's likely that owls live there. Owls are raptors birds of prey that hunt and eat other animals. Of course this means they are carnivores. They prefer rodents raccoons rabbits skunks squirrels and even other birds. Small owls also eat insects. Owls can be a smallest five inches high or as large as twenty eight inches. Their wing spans can be between one and six feet across owls. Have flat faces and large. Is that face forward. They have hooked beaks and large feet with sharp claws called talons. They have short tails and rounded wings. Also the tufts of feathers. Some owls have on their heads are not ears. they're just feathers. The ears are on the sides of the owls head near eye level. Owls eyes are fixed in place. They cannot look to the side without moving. Their heads. Like people can to make up for this. Owls can turn their heads more than one hundred eighty degrees in each direction. So if they want to look behind them they can twist their heads all the way around. Owls hunted night. They are nocturnal. So naturally they have excellent vision. They hunted flight. That is to say they fly around and when they see a mouse down below them they dropped down on it and catch it in their talents. Their talents are made for grasping food and for perching above the ground. Owls are not good at walking their feet. Just don't work well for it not only do. Owls have good vision. They have excellent hearing. They have large ears covered with a rough of feathers. They're hearing is so good that they can hunt even in total darkness just by hearing their prey moving around owls also have interesting feathers. They have a thick layer of down under their feathers that protects them from cold. Most owls are speckled or mottled to camouflage them during the day when they sit in trees or on rocks to rest and the design of their wing feathers makes them almost silent while they are flying hours. Do not chew their food. They tear off pieces and swallow them whole they digest all the useful parts. Then they turn the bones and for other indigestible bits into little pellets which they regurgitate back up. Because owls are active at nighttime and they perch high up in trees where they are camouflaged. It's hard for them to see each other. For this reason. They communicate by sound. Owls make lots of sounds. They hoot of course but they can also whistle chirp squawk and warble they call to and answer each other males. Use special calls to attract females when it's time to mate the also dance and bow to attract a mate. Owls put on quite a show once. A pair of owls has chosen each other. They build a nest. Owls build nessin trees nook in a cliff in a woodpecker whole or even in the crevice of a city building the female lays her eggs when conditions are best so nesting season is different in the arctic than it is in the tropics. Owl eggs are not laid. All at once and the chicks can be born up to three weeks apart. Both parents incubate the eggs and protect the nest. Owls are most common in the americas. This species that live in temperate climates do not tend to migrate in winter. But the ones that live in the arctic usually fly south for the winter to somewhere with plenty of food. If you're very lucky you might see an owl someday. But it's much more likely that you will hear one when you hear the who of an owl calling. You'll know he's camouflaged somewhere nearby..

"Of the people who proudly voted to make juneteenth the national holiday. Jim here's one of the conversations. I overheard on friday. I wasn't a part of it. But i was eased dropping and i will serve out self diagnosing say that i was nuking. This person was arguing over the fact that now they have to pay their employees an additional federal holiday and the economics of that so we are not about the people who died not about the people whose lives were taken from them because of some you know selfishness of others but about how much i have to pay in order to add another national holiday to to are already long list of holidays that i have to pay for this conversation. What they'll make that up in you let me tell you why because i read that article about. It's about oh we'll lose about six hundred million. Well they're commercializing it. Because i need to know that even before it was federalized on friday when when biden signed it walmart had t shirts. You know so once it becomes commercialized. It'll be another one of those monday holidays. You know that what we do. Is you know they will drive people to to the mall so my point is is that i understand why they would even even suggest that they would lose anything because of the kind of money that they would they would reap on the back end of this so a and then the problem when you commercialize it certainly look like the way i think about pry and stuff then you lose the actual essence and the important and you erase the struggle of not only people alive and presence but what made this moment in terms of upholding america to its ideal. We're talking to emmett. Price and irene. Munro the ribs. Can we stay on the theme of hypocrisy for a couple of seconds which is one of our favorite topics you know by the way marjorie. I should've told you this morning. I am thinking of converting to catholicism. So i can leave the church. I feel like that's when i read about this catholic catholic bishops overwhelmingly. Three to one in the united states voted for this thing that if ultimately were signed off on by the vatican which i assume won't be but whether it is or not would deny communion which matters a lot the people who are seriously serious. Catholics like joe biden who directed when i mentioned hypocrisy. I know this is obvious. But i gotta get this album. My system to can any of you tell me these same conservative catholic bishops. Who don't give much of a damn about abuse of children apparently didn't have much of a damn that on a good day. Donald trump was credibly accused of being a serial sexual harasser on a bad day. A sexual predator. They weren't upset with him but they're upset with a guy who lives virtually every important catholic ethic but says i want impose my personal beliefs about life on the politics at large. I mean really you ask me start with you. How many times do i have to say it. I mean you know if i shall be moving to another country based on what the united states has been doing for the last four years and want to continue doing some instances but it's a disgrace the hierarchy of the church the united states. America's become a bunch of right wing republicans and it's not so much i wouldn't argue about donald trump being sexual harasser. It's his jim.

I don't see any reason why it would be and the next day trump realizing what a fool we made of himself said. I don't see i to say. I don't see any reason why would not be but i mean to you guys. I don't want to dwell on this. Do you believe secretary of state pompeo has the nerve has the nerve to criticize biden. This is this. Is the playbook entire at this point. Isn't it except for mitt romney and susan collins or so. You'll love that clip. I'm so glad you brought it back it. It's so important to remember facts to remember. Who trump was when he was in office and his relationship to putin. Which was you know. What did they call where they used to say. Oh well bush's poodle poodle putin's and we all know that and it was so clear watching how. How really apologetic. He was in four and listen gross. And someday we're going to find out why would also wait a second not just being putin's poodle selling out the intelligence apparatus contrary in front of this murderous demagogue my god. I'm wondering i honestly want her. Pongpayome and trump in announcing that you know he's not we're not done with him in this political career. Yeah he's gonna he's gonna run again and if he does. is it. True that america just collectively has the brain fog brought on by long cove it. We're just gonna forget. We're just accept things like the false that you just really beautifully right up him or are we going to remember in. Are we going to challenge them. And i think similarly we should ask ourselves about biden. Look i think by doing the right thing in in a diplomatic outreach but remember biden said he's going to be a lot tougher on putin it's time to prove it. We got a hold biden. Speak to the fire on that. As well and i think he'll think he'll come through but again let's not forget what biden said he would do which is to be tough on putin..
