And how some scientists might be making stuff up in order to get us to talk about their unrealistic findings on our show.Now, in an effort to fulfill our podcast description obligations (and possibly boost our overseas SEO ranking), here is that same podcast description badly cyber-translated into French.Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui, un chien héros veut des walkies SO BAD ... il va même jusqu'à enseigner son humain à marcher de nouveau pour obtenir ce qu'il désire. En outre, nous en apprenons sur les habitudes de sommeil des insectes et des oiseaux. Et comment certains scientifiques pourraient inventer des choses afin de nous faire parler de leurs conclusions irréalistes lors de notre émission.And now, that French translation into Zulu....Esiqhingini samanje, inja yeqhawe idinga ama-walki angu-SO BAD ... uya ngisho nokufundisa umuntu ukuthi ahambe futhi ukuze athole lokho akufunayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sifunda ngemikhuba yokulala yezinambuzane nezinyoni. Futhi ukuthi abanye ososayensi bangasungula kanjani izinto ukuze sikhulume ngeziphetho zabo ezingenangqondo embukisweni wethu.And... back into English again.On the present island, a brave dog needs SO BAD-walki ... you can even teach someone to go again to get what they want. Additionally, we learn about insect bedding and birds. And how some scientists can create things to talk about their unintentional conclusions in our show.HeavyPettingPodcast@gmail.com

The noggin-grown' worms are coming, and they care not about your silly fears.Also, an amatuer backyard ornithologist spots a unique dual-gendered bird, and starts all kinds of conversation about gender-specific traits and disorders.Additionally, Wayne self-censors himself. Multiple times. If this makes you feel uneasy, then you should consider skipping this one.We were told - nay - ORDERED to make long-winded and verbose descriptions of these podcasts. Unfortunately, this is a fairly simple show. A few stories about animals in the news... but not in an upsetting way. Could be easily described in a single compound sentence. In fact... writing this description took me longer than it did to record the entire podcast in the first place. I hope this needless text at the end, much like a grade school book report, satisfies the word count requirements placed upon us. And that the teacher's aide is too bored to bother reading this far.And they lived happily ever after.HeavyPettingPodcast@gmail.com
