Speaker 1 (00:00):
Through some reason, man is wiped from the earth. What
animal rules the world?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Easy?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh, this is gonna be good. So again, I don't
know why. I don't know why, but man, man is
wiped out right, wiped out, gone.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We're all done, like dinosaurs, We're all gone. What animal?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And now I will tell you this. Scientists have the
answer to this. And I guess when they all were
in the room, they were like, easy, what animal?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Planet of the apes?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Next?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, let's see who else is resilient. It's more difficult,
is it? Just who's next in line after Randy Orton?
What's the next apex predator? Who is the ultimate apex predator?
There can be no known predators.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, we have predators. No, we don't each other.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, well you said we're wiped the Yeah we're gone.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, we're gone.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You can also the reason we're wiped is like weaponry.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I mean, well, it could be weaponry, it could be
it could be anything.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's like Jake Paul. I can't believe I'm about to
quote Jake Paul. It's like Jake Paul said to Tyson,
you may be a natural born killer, but I'm if
I'm manufactured the deadliest thing on Earth is a nuke.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Preach. Yeah, so Diane, I'll ask you again, humans are
wiped out?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, and I don't know why. I don't know. They
didn't tell me why.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
How significant was like how catastrophic as the wiping out
of humans? I think that can play into it as well.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's a good question, and that's why I think they
didn't specify because my initial answer did not go this way.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But now thinking about what the makeup of the globe
could be, right, I may have to go a different direction. Okay,
but these people are going to run the world. They
are going to run the world.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well now, aren't well human? Aren't humans the biggest danger
to whales?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That's not what I asked though.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
But the humans are gone now, so maybe the whales
would then take over.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Humans are the biggest danger to a lot of things,
right right, unintentionally, Yeah, it happens, or just for so
there's not enough whales.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
So I'm gonna go for like volume, like generic birds.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So you are talking birds take out slowly, You're just
going to be louder. I just talking myself through it
to pick a specific speed.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It is a very specific case.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So it's not just birds.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, no, but I was letting Diane show her work.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, wouldn't that be if Diane's going for the just
the great tits the apex predator of birds, wouldn't eagles
be a good one to.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
While?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I hope they bring that back.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Uh, it's not, it's not. It's not an eagle. It's
not an eagle.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Is it a bird? Oh my god? So now we're
just gonna name animals.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I don't know. I thought I knocked it out of
the park with apes.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
They got that short, d It is not apes. It
is not apes, not smart enough. Their speculation also is
that whatever wiped out a human would have wiped out
a primate.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So I'll throw that in there.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
So is this more what just what survives the disaster?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No? No, no, because then you would just say cockroaches.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, so it's not that. No, that's a cop out.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, no, it's not. And I love the answer.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And as soon as I I say what it is,
you'll go oh yeah, ah yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
She hasn't said it yet. No, okay, So can I
give one of mine please?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That I went to when I thought, well maybe, oh,
and I see Christi's got a hand up.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We'll get to hurt a second.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Maybe I have to think off the land. And I
went to the water, and I thought Orca.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Whales, Orca whales.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
No, because the apex predator they killed great white sharks.
They do they do, And so when diansa whales, I
was like, damn it, Diana's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The no, I mean, I I like I like the mindset.
I like what people are thinking. I like that I
like that we are thinking.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But we still haven't hit it yet. No, no, are
you going to Kristen.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, So at the.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Very beginning, I was like lyon obviously not an ape
And then as you started talking more, I thought about
deer because they're overpopulated all over the world. And then
you said the word smart, and I went and so
(05:36):
then I got to the light bulb kicked on. I'm
probably wrong, But I then put pig or wild hog,
because we're you science is using them more in a
human body.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Remember we're putting yeah, because we are going to put
Ellie in the morning shirts on a wild pig for
at the body farm.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
And in some places in the world they're like in
the water, wild hogs are all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Right, I think I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
But that's my that's your guess. Yes, incorrect, incorrect, incorrect,
But I like again, I like that you're showing your work. No,
that's good. Incorrect.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Lion was my land animal that I was going to.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Guess, you know what. And I would have guessed, thank you, Kristen,
thank you. Oh h there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I would have thought that somebody was going to say, lion,
it's incorrect.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Lion was my first guest. And then I said, oh,
it might be the water, and I went to Orca.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I will tell you this. Do you want a clue? Yeah,
do you want a clue?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It would help at this point.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Water is correct, Oh, Diane, water is correct.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Look at us, go.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I ain't taken no orders from a tuna.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It smells like.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Some of these guesses that I can I can just
rattle off for our immediately thrown out. Ants gone, a
lot of ants, fungus okay, not an animal. And crows.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
The crows are very smart.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
There's a billion of them too.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, there's not the h They are vengeful. Remember, they'll
purposely crap on your head. They remember who you are.
None of those are right?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, yeah, with your hint.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, none of those are right?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Is this animal? Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Oh is this?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Is it a saltwater crocodile? The what isn't the saltwater
crocodile and apex predator?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I don't know, but it's not a saltwater crocodile.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh yeah, not not at all, not at all. Do
you want to know how a lot of people? Well,
hold on, hi Elliott.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
The Morning, I'm gonna guess kimoda, dragons or lizards?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Goodbye?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Does this animal spend most of its time in the
water or is it just something that will head to
the watering hole and then it's probably gonna be a
land animal?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then you said smart, yes, the light bulb.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Went on, hi Elliott the Morning, dog dogs, That is
a great guess. That is incorrect, Thank you. Actually, I
don't know why I said that was a great guess.
It actually isn't because dogs don't live in water.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Fly another guess for crocodile came in incorrect?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
In correct?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
What other apex predators are in the water, Diane? I
have named two?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Do we have to run through a list of all
of our apex predators?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Line six, hi Elliott the Morning, penguins who penguins? No, no, no,
it's not it's not the I'll say, good guess, but no,
it's not a not a penguin.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Think about it, Think about why a penguin? That would
be so hard? Where am I going? Line four?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Oh, I think people figured it out.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hi Elliott the morning, Hey is yes, Hi? Who is this?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
This is eating with me?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
He talks a couple of times this week.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Oh what is the answers dolphin? A dolphin?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Very smart animal, yeah, very very smart animal.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Lives in the water.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Also also well known to kill things that you would
typically think kill it.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
They take out sharks and stuff like that as groups
all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's a good point. That is a good point.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Incorrect, incorrect, Thank you though, thank you. No, but I again,
I like that we're showing our work.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Remind me what you said when I asked if it
spends all of its time in the water.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Most of its time in the water.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
See, I thought someone nailed it, because this is also
one of your favorite animals. But it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Right then, watch one.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's not a polar bear.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No, no, no, polar bear is a land animal, but
does spend some time in the water.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Right, Well, I'm a land animal and I spend some
time in the water.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
You're afraid of the ocean?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
No, but I get in a pool.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You want the answer, Yeah, well they'll give us another thing.
We know it's underwater, right, have we. They believe that
this is something you see to aquariums.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh, they believe that this animal is so smart that,
yes it's it is a water based animal, right, but
like most water based animal, if it can get out
of the water, it just has to get back in
the water quickly. They believe that this animal is so
right now, could probably spend close to thirty minutes outside
(10:34):
of the water. But they believe that this animal is
so smart it would let me hit pause right on
that sentence.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Right, as humans, we are land based animals. What did
we do?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
What did we invent that allowed us to spend more
time underwater?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Breathing devices?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, scuba gear exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
They believe this animal is so smart, now, don't think
of it as a kuba tank, that this animal would
be able to find create, invent a reverse scuba apparatus,
or manufacture away to be able to spend more time
(11:17):
on land. Crabs ride that hoots back to crabs.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Line six hi, Elliott in the Morning. Hey this me, Yes, sir,
you sound bright, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Octopus you're a squid.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I can't remember which octopus.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, we got it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Octopus, very very good.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They believe that if you were if we all got
wiped off the face of the earth. You're a very
smart man. Let me put you in an Elliot the
Morning shirt. I like when smart people walk around with
our shirts on. We got a lot of criminals, so
I'll take a smart person. Hold on one.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
See hey Elliott, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
I got the best story in the world for you
very quick. You did a skit a long time ago,
twenty years ago with a meat spin dot com.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You remember that, Oh, dear god, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
And my roommate came and sat next to me with
his laptop in his hand and said, Elliott said to
look at this. And I look over and I saw
what I saw, Like, dude, are you coming out to me?
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It was hilarious. Hey, hold on to that shirt, hold
on for that shirt. Hold on on.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You give them a chickens one.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
The octopus. Yeah, very very smart. And do you who
do you think of? Right away? Well?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
In myrtle Yeah aquarium. Absolutely, you were told stories about how.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The yeah, how they escape their unbelievably smart.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Do you remember how they prevent octopus from getting out
of their tanks.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Didn't they have to do like a mesh screen or
something or wet towel the uh.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Screen sound better?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They only need they only needed a slot that if
you if, if if they could get out, they could
go all the way down all the plumbing and stuff.
They are unbelievably smart animals, very very smart, and they
they believe that over over time, Like you're thinking, like, oh,
so they're gonna build a scuba gear. They'll create something
(13:21):
that will on the radio, that will allow them to
live outside of water. Isn't that cool to think about?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Though?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Like what is this like, like you said, what is
an octopus going to think of? They're going to think
about how to live.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
And because their predators wouldn't be so smart, that's how
they avoid being there.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They outsmart their predators absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And by the way, they they do kill a lot,
They can kill a lot.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I bet they were looking at us in the shark
tunnel thinking, well, that's how they'll be wiped out. COVID
packed in loving the sharks. We're surviving over here.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Their dexterity, their curiosity, their ability to communicate with each other.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's a big one that people don't think about.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
That they can communicate, Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Like a lot of them can, like a lot of
animals can warn, but they can't communicate. Now, is warning
a sign of communication? Yes, But if your whole life
was hey hey, hey, like that doesn't mean anything. But
if they can find a way out of the out
of their enclosures, they can, and they kind of do
(14:36):
this with their head and that tells the other one
come on over.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That's a fun little game we played.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Dexterity, curiosity, ability to communicate with each other, and supreme
intelligence means they could create complex tools to build a
vast Atlantis like civilization underwater. So could they build underground
housing like not how we look at it, like oh,
(15:08):
we need bed but like like almost like like like
like caves for themselves to live in.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Well, don't they add on to existing reef systems.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
For Well, they do now, but we're gonna have to
do more. Well, you're not gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Do anything, but they're gonna they're gonna invent and build
the reverse scob so they can dry breathe.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Okay, everyone's saying octopus. Now I know that the delay
is not that long. How do people know that they
they heard you say it. Okay to act all cool.
Oh okay, I'll just say I mean, listen. We have
a ton of very very very smart listeners.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Just don't let them tell stories.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
The
