In this A through Z animal podcast series, we begin the w's…with the amazing walrus found primarily in icy Arctic waters, they can withstand freezing temperatures as low as 95 degrees below zero. Wow. There are two main subspecies who live to be around 40 years old, and a male walrus can actually weigh more than a ton. Overall, walruses symbolize many things, including ancient knowledge, seeing the bigger picture, nourishing others strength and positive motherhood. Shamans believe that the walrus spirit is the keeper of ancient knowledge and wisdom. Both male and female walruses grow long tusks which helped them adapt better to their Arctic life. They often use them like ski poles to dig into sand, snow and ice to help them haul their enormous bodies out of the freezing ocean waters. Their Tusks are also used during swimming to cut holes in the ice so that they can come up for a breath. These massive animals need thick layers of blubber to stay insulated. All that fat protects them from the cold. A baby walrus can weigh as much as an average size human. Those chunky little critters are called calves and they stay with their mother, a cow, until they are about two years old. Walruses eat shellfish like clams that they grabbed from the ocean floor, along with mussels, sea cucumbers and some fish. They have very sensitive whiskers that help them detect food. Once they've spotted their prey, they're surprisingly speedy swimmers. So called in the spirit of the walrus.

fWotD Episode 2513: Pinniped Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Friday, 22 March 2024 is Pinniped.Pinnipeds (pronounced ), commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals), with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils. While seals were historically thought to have descended from two ancestral lines, molecular evidence supports them as a monophyletic lineage (descended from one ancestral line). Pinnipeds belong to the suborder Caniformia of the order Carnivora; their closest living relatives are musteloids (weasels, raccoons, skunks and red pandas), having diverged about 50 million years ago.Seals range in size from the 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and 45 kg (100 lb) Baikal seal to the 5 m (16 ft) and 3,200 kg (7,100 lb) southern elephant seal. Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism. They have streamlined bodies and four limbs that are modified into flippers. Though not as fast in the water as dolphins, seals are more flexible and agile. Otariids use their front limbs primarily to propel themselves through the water, while phocids and walruses use their hind limbs. Otariids and walruses have hind limbs that can be pulled under the body and used as legs on land. By comparison, terrestrial locomotion by phocids is more cumbersome. Otariids have visible external ears, while phocids and walruses lack these. Pinnipeds have well-developed senses—their eyesight and hearing are adapted for both air and water, and they have an advanced tactile system in their whiskers or vibrissae. Some species are well adapted for diving to great depths. They have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin to keep warm in cold water, and, other than the walrus, all species are covered in fur.Although pinnipeds are widespread, most species prefer the colder waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They spend most of their lives in water, but come ashore to mate, give birth, molt or to avoid ocean predators, such as sharks and orcas. Seals mainly live in marine environments but can also be found in fresh water. They feed largely on fish and marine invertebrates; a few, such as the leopard seal, feed on large vertebrates, such as penguins and other seals. Walruses are specialized for feeding on bottom-dwelling mollusks. Male pinnipeds typically mate with more than one female (polygyny), although the degree of polygyny varies with the species. The males of land-breeding species tend to mate with a greater number of females than those of ice breeding species. Male pinniped strategies for reproductive success vary between defending females, defending territories that attract females and performing ritual displays or lek mating. Pups are typically born in the spring and summer months and females bear almost all the responsibility for raising them. Mothers of some species fast and nurse their young for a relatively short period of time while others take foraging trips at sea between nursing bouts. Walruses are known to nurse their young while at sea. Seals produce a number of vocalizations, notably the barks of California sea lions, the gong-like calls of walruses and the complex songs of Weddell seals.The meat, blubber and skin of pinnipeds have traditionally been used by indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Seals have been depicted in various cultures worldwide. They are commonly kept in captivity and are even sometimes trained to perform tricks and tasks. Once relentlessly hunted by commercial industries for their products, seals are now protected by international law. The Japanese sea lion and the Caribbean monk seal have become extinct in the past century, while the Mediterranean monk seal and Hawaiian monk seal are ranked as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Besides hunting, pinnipeds also face threats from accidental trapping, marine pollution, climate change and conflicts with local people.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Friday, 22 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Pinniped on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Justin Neural.
Andrew Lewin delves into the significant changes occurring in the Arctic due to climate change. He highlights the drastic ice melt and its impact on the Arctic environment and its inhabitants. Andrew emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes and the need to take action to protect the ocean. Tune in to explore how animals in the Arctic are adapting to survive amidst the evolving conditions, and reflect on the resilience of both animals and the ocean in the face of environmental challenges.

The once pristine and frozen landscape of the Arctic is rapidly transforming due to the effects of climate change. In the podcast, host Andrew Lewin highlights the alarming consequences of this change, emphasizing the urgent need for action to protect this fragile ecosystem. The melting of ice in the Arctic is a central theme in the episode, with Andrew discussing how the loss of ice is affecting the physical structure of the region. The melting ice is not only reducing habitat for animals like polar bears, walruses, and seals but also exposing pollutants and toxins that were previously trapped in the ice. This release of pollutants into the water further threatens the delicate balance of the Arctic ecosystem. As the ice recedes and habitats change, animals in the Arctic are forced to adapt to survive. Polar bears, apex predators of the region, are facing challenges as their traditional hunting grounds on sea ice diminish. The scarcity of sea ice is pushing polar bears to hunt land animals and raid seabird colonies for food, altering their behavior and potentially impacting their population dynamics. Moreover, the changing Arctic environment is attracting new species from the south, introducing diseases and competition for resources. The emergence of new pathogens like the H5N1 avian flu poses a significant threat to Arctic species with little immunity to such diseases. The host emphasizes the importance of genetic diversity in populations to withstand these challenges and highlights the potential loss of species if adaptation is not successful. In conclusion, the episode underscores the critical need to address climate change and reduce the reliance on fossil fuels to mitigate the impacts on the Arctic and its inhabitants. Andrew Lewin's passionate plea for action resonates throughout the episode, urging listeners to take steps to protect the Arctic and preserve its unique ecosystem for future generations. The loss of ice in the Arctic is having a profound impact on the food chain, leading to significant adaptations in the behavior of animals like polar bears. As highlighted in the podcast episode, the melting ice is causing polar bears to shift their hunting habits from seals to land animals. This change in prey preference is a direct result of the diminishing sea ice, which traditionally served as a platform for polar bears to hunt seals. With the reduction of sea ice, polar bears are finding it increasingly challenging to access their primary food source, seals. As a result, they are turning to alternative food options available on land, such as seabird colonies. This shift in diet is a clear adaptation to the changing Arctic environment, where the traditional hunting grounds are no longer as accessible or abundant. The podcast episode emphasizes how this alteration in the polar bear's diet is just one example of the ripple effects caused by the melting ice in the Arctic. The disruption of the food chain not only impacts polar bears but also influences the populations of other species within the ecosystem. As polar bears start targeting land animals for sustenance, it creates a domino effect on the entire food web, potentially leading to changes in population dynamics and species interactions. This adaptation by polar bears underscores the urgent need for action to address climate change and its effects on Arctic ecosystems. The loss of ice is not just a physical change in the environment; it is fundamentally altering the way animals like polar bears survive and thrive in their natural habitat. By understanding and highlighting these adaptations, we can better comprehend the far-reaching consequences of climate change and the importance of taking immediate steps to mitigate its impact on Arctic wildlife. Urgent Action Needed to Reduce Fossil Fuel Production for Arctic Ecosystems The podcast episode highlights the urgent need for action to reduce fossil fuel production to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems and wildlife. The Arctic region is undergoing rapid transformation due to the melting of ice and the warming climate, leading to significant impacts on the habitat and survival of various species. Impact on Arctic Wildlife Loss of Habitat: The melting ice in the Arctic is causing a significant loss of habitat for animals like polar bears, walruses, and seals. These animals rely on ice floes for resting, hunting, and breeding, but as the ice melts, their habitat diminishes, leading to increased competition for resources and reduced survival rates. Altered Food Chains: The disappearance of sea ice is disrupting the food chains in the Arctic. Species like polar bears are shifting their hunting behaviors, targeting land animals and seabird colonies due to the changing availability of prey. This alteration in food sources can lead to population declines and increased competition among species. Introduction of Diseases: The warming Arctic is attracting southern species, bringing new pathogens and diseases to the region. The lack of immunity in isolated Arctic species makes them vulnerable to infections, leading to potential population declines and genetic diversity loss. Call to Action Reduce Fossil Fuel Production: The episode emphasizes the critical need to reduce fossil fuel production to combat climate change. The main culprit in driving global warming is the burning of oil, gas, and coal, which continues to increase carbon emissions and exacerbate the impacts on Arctic ecosystems. Global Efforts: Despite calls for action and awareness of the consequences, global carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached record highs in 2023. Urgent and coordinated efforts are required at the international level to transition to renewable energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Individual Action: The host encourages listeners to take action by influencing government policies, lobbying for environmental regulations, and supporting organizations dedicated to climate change mitigation. Individual actions, when combined, can contribute to significant changes in reducing fossil fuel consumption and protecting Arctic ecosystems. Conclusion The urgency to reduce fossil fuel production is paramount to safeguarding Arctic ecosystems and wildlife from the detrimental effects of climate change. By taking immediate action to transition to sustainable energy sources and advocating for environmental protection, individuals can play a crucial role in preserving the fragile Arctic environment for future generations.

In 2018, brother and sister filmmaking duo Evgenia Arbugaeva and Maxim Arbugaev traveled to a beach in the Siberian Arctic — an area in Northeast Russia. When they arrived on this beach, the sand was almost black in color, and a horrifying smell of decay filled the air. The beach looked deserted, except for a man living in a small hut nearby. His name is Maxim Chakilev. He's a marine biologist who waits for more than 100,000 walruses to pile their massive bodies on this beach in autumn. The walruses overcrowd the beach and sometimes die due to stampedes. This coming out-of-the-water phenomenon is called a haulout, and it's a result of climate change in the area. After witnessing a haulout with Chakilev, Arbugaeva and her brother returned to the beach in 2020 to live with the biologist for three months and film his every move. For weeks at time, the hut was completely surrounded by the animals, making it impossible to leave. They produced a documentary with The New Yorker on their findings last year called “Haulout” – and it's nominated for an Academy Award for best Documentary Short Film this year. Filmmaker Evgenia Arbugaeva spoke to host Maiken Scott about the film. Interview highlights Why do walruses haulout on this beach? “So, in an ideal world, walruses would not come out on land at all, or they would come out in very small numbers. They’re migratory animals. And they would rest on floating ice during their migration and feeding. But because there is no ice in summer anymore, they’re just forced to come out, haulout, on land to rest. And the reason why they come out on this particular beach is because their feeding ground, which is mollusks on the bottom of the ocean, is about 200 kilometers from this beach. So, what they do, they go feed, then they come back, and they rest on the beach, and then they go back and feed, and they do it about three times.” Inside the visual experience of a haulout “I felt that I was in the film “Lord of the Rings,” and there was the army of orcs. It was scary, and it was scary because they’re not aggressive animals because especially when they’re on the beach, they’re in their unnatural environment. So, they’re really vulnerable, and actually, they’re so easily scared. So, any foreign smell or sound can scare them and kind of send this wave of panic in the whole haulout. So, we had to be really careful actually, not to scare them, not to use the stove, not to produce any smell, not to use a generator, which was quite challenging because we couldn’t use batteries, or charge our batteries. But the sound was scary because you could hear the animals struggling, you could hear some voices, like very high-pitched voices of cubs that are looking for their mothers and being separated or being squashed by these bigger animals.” Maxim Chakilev's concerns about the walrus population and climate change Maxim Chakilev is a marine biologist who has been researching pacific walruses in the Siberian Arctic for a decade. (The New Yorker Studios) “The biggest concern, of course, is how this animal adapts to the new reality that this has been happening for a long time now. Maxim started his research 10 years ago … And unfortunately, as we know, this process is irreversible. So, there will be a possibility of a shrinking of the population of the animal. I think all biologists that are now working are concerned about the same thing really, of the disappearance of species and what can be done to protect them.” Filming during the hottest year on record in the Arctic “We were anticipating, of course, that we’ll be surrounded by walruses, but we didn’t know for how long. And that was the record. The longest time walruses were on the beach. And so, we planned only for a maximum of a week being surrounded. And we had just enough water for that time. And when we realized it will be two weeks, and it went to almost three weeks, we started to be really worried about the amount of water that we had. And we had to be very careful not to wash our hands and just keep it for drinking.” The takeaway message from the film, “Haulout” “We made this film because we wanted to show people what really is happening in the Arctic, and we wanted to make it in the way that is not heavily message-driven or narrated. We wanted people to see for themselves that this is the reality that animals in the Arctic are facing and that we just need to do something about it. We need to be realistic. I mean, there are so many ways to talk about climate change. Oftentimes, it’s stories of hope, which I also support. There has to be hope, but there also has to be some realistic understanding of what is really going on. And I hope our film will contribute to that understanding.”

The Oscar-nominated documentary short "Haulout" follows a Russian scientist who tracks the lives of walruses, a species increasingly struggling amid climate change. “Party Down” — about a catering company staffed by aspiring actors, writers, and lost souls — has been rebooted. If semiconductor chip manufacturers want new federal subsidies, they'll have to meet certain requirements like ensuring affordable child care for their employees. In summer, California's power grids are strained by heat and fires, but they're vulnerable to winter storms too. The problem will likely grow with climate change.
2023 is off to a rip roaring start! Walruses doing a fap n nap in front of kids, machete attacks, and resolutions that won't stick. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Environmental historian Bathsheba Demuth travels to the Arctic ice and tundra to show how humans and animals together have shaped its landscape and history. In this episode she looks at how the human relationship to walruses has changed and changed again, from seeing them as ancestors to part of the socialist future, offering an example of how what we value can endanger—or save—a species. Bathsheba Demuth is an environmental historian and writer who spends much of her time in Arctic communities across Eurasia and North America. Her work draws on archives, ecology, and experience of the landscape to ask how places and people change each other. Her interest in northern environments and cultures began when, at 18, she moved to the village of Old Crow in the Yukon. For two years, she mushed huskies, hunted caribou, fished for salmon, tracked bears, and otherwise learned to survive in the taiga and tundra. In this essay series she brings us into the intertwined pasts of people and animals of the lands and waters around the Bering Strait - the ice-studded stretch of ocean between Alaska and the Russian far east. She shows how dogs, whales, walruses, caribou, and salmon have helped make history—and in turn, how people have changed how they value and relate to creatures finned and furred. From shifts in the culture of whales to how reindeer flummoxed Soviet plans and dogs' emotions mattered to the British Empire, each essay is a journey into how paying attention to the environment and the animals within it helps us better understand history, the nature of change, and our place in the world.

Aquariums and marine parks. By PETA.org Original post: https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-in-entertainment/zoos-pseudo-sanctuaries/aquariums-marine-parks/ Blackfish Documentary: https://www.blackfishmovie.com/ Vancouver Aquarium Uncovered: https://vimeo.com/250066910 Seaspiracy: https://www.seaspiracy.org/ People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was founded in 1980, is the largest animal rights organization in the world, and PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally. PETA believes that animals have rights and deserve to have their best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to humans. Like you, they are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives. PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment business. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, investigative newsgathering and reporting, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.

After a decade, a lawsuit involving famous tourist attraction, Marineland, and a former trainer, has now been resolved. This means the last two walruses in the park will be removed from the facility and brought into the wild. Phil Demers is a former mammal trainer of Marineland's stadium show and joined Alex to talk about this win, and the future of Smooshi the walrus.

Welcome to another episode of TMM…where you can also find us at “The Old Man-dot-show”... try it! Also, happy post 4th of July. I have WAY too many tabs open in my browser most of the time. It's as cluttered and messy as the rest of my house. I leave these tabs open because I think they contain something I want ot share with you, which is another way of saying something I want to complain, rant or brag about. I have a few items I'd like to complain about before hopefully getting to something hopeful. Item #1: Forth of July Message from California's Governor Gavin Newsome 4th of July message: In it he starts off by saying let's talk… translation: let me talk… about what's going on in America… translation: let me bag on Florida Governor Ron…ald McDonald Desantis. Governor Newsome, don't start off saying you want to talk about America and then attack another Governor, the images contained Desantis and the graphics were about Desantis. It's this kind of rhetoric that actually contributes to the divisiveness in our country and it is not taking the high road. Mean what you say and say what you mean. In other words, if you tell your citizens to wear masks, YOU wear a mask. Even in Napa Valley. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending Wrong Desantis. I am NOT a fan of that egomaniac. However… of the numerous laws Desantis has signed, the “Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade classrooms.” This is going to sound like I'm a crazy conservative, but is that all that bad? Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Four and five year olds to what… eight years old? There shouldn't be ANY sexual education talk of ANY kind in those grades, should there? What a great bargaining chip to use to look for compromise. And if there's a kid having sexual identity issues in those grades, can't we deal with it on a case by case basis with some compassion? Do we need a law for that. My recollection of grade school was a one night presentation with fathers and sons in attendance in the auditorium. That was it. My biggest takeaway from that was on the ride home I was able to get away with saying the F-word in front of my dad. And I said it with a little pause before adding the “i-n-g” so it seemed like I didn't even now how to pronounce it. And my dad said, “yes, yes. This is fucking.” Man, I felt so victorious that night. I'd pulled a major coupe. Back to Gavin Gruesome… at the end of his message talking about America… if America was Flrorida, he invites Floridians to join us here in California. Hey Gavin, we've got 39 million people in this state plus a housing crisis. And you want more people to come to California? Seriously? We're driving wealthy residents out of the state and you want to bring disenfranchised poor Floridians to California? You think the rich ones that can afford housing on the beach in Miami are going to come? No. We'll have even more homeless….oops, unhoused people than we already have. Why? So you can win your reelection campaign? That's who paid for the message by the way. Silicon valley isn't the only place where businesses are leaving California. I'll get a Netflix, Stranger Things plug in here and I'm sure that if you've been watching Stranger Things you don't watch the credits. You think that show was shot in Hollywood? Even the scenes that were supposed to take place in Los Angeles were filmed in and around Albuquerque New Mexico where a LOT of productions take place as well as Wilmington, North Carolina and Vancouver, British Columbia for that matter. And it's rarely for the landscapes. I'm sure you know that Southern California can provide damn near any landscape you want, except maybe a rainforest. Heck that's what a soundstage is for. So, there's a whole other industry besides high tech that has left California. Okay, see how my rants just swirl around and don't' really go anywhere? (toilet) I guess if I had a point, it's that California's Governor shouldn't be inviting a population to come to California when we can't house the ones we have already. And if it was a political stunt for his reelection campaign and he's calling out Florida's Goofy Governor “Wrong” DeSantis, then I'd have to go with “Shame on You Gavin Gruesome”. Chucking barbs at your opponent or the other party is just perpetuating the horrible divisiveness we're already bogged down in. Find another way to craft your message. What was I talking about? See? Okay, horrible politicians on the left and right. All that for only item #1! Item #2: C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll are not the same person. I obviously have way too much computer time. I try to keep my daughter from it but at the same time I can spend hours sitting in front of my computer… accomplishing, what? Am I fooling myself into thinking I'm educating myself? To what end? So I can take some information that's little more than trivia, and regurgitate it in a conversation (or a podcast) to make people think I'm educated and worldly? Please. So here's how I went from C.S. Lewis to Lewis Carrol to the Beatles to The Animals to… what? It really led to nothing. I was initially trying to find the origin of the saying, “Don't judge a person before walking a mile in their shoes.” I still don't think I have it but it led me to some very random places. The oldest origin I found was from a Native American prayer that goes: “Great Spirit — Grant that I may not criticize my neighbor until I have walked a mile in his moccasins.” While that rabbit hole didn't lead me to a satisfying end it somehow got me on to C.S. Lewis and the Christian metaphors he used in his books, specifically “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”. But instead of C.S. Lewis, I thought it was Lewis Carrol who wrote Alice in Wonderland, no… Through the Looking Glass. And in that book, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, who would be perfect guests for this show, recite the poem, “The Walrus and The Carpenter” to Alice… The poem tells of the Walrus and the Carpenter luring young oysters out of their beds and on to the shore where they are all eaten by the Walrus and the Carpenter, even when one of the older oysters warns them. In the Disney movie the Walrus eats all of the oysters and the Carpenter doesn't get any. In the book it appears both eat some of the oysters but it appears the Walrus gets most of them. Their untimely end comes when the Walrus says: "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings." "But wait a bit," the Oysters cried, "Before we have our chat; For some of us are out of breath, And all of us are fat!" "No hurry!" said the Carpenter. They thanked him much for that. Even there at the end of that stanza the Carpenter cuts them some slack. Many have analyzed Carrol's work to look for hidden meaning an metaphor including the Walrus and the Carpenter represents Communism vs. Capitalism or that one represents Christianity and Western religion while the other represents Buddhism and Eastern Religion OR… that Lewis Carrol did drugs when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. The general consensus on that is NO, he was simply writing for children to entertain them and their imaginations. If fact, one of the illustrators for a later edition of the book said that the original illustrator had the choice of a butterfly, a carpenter or a baronet (the holder of a rank of honor below a baron and above a knight, oh my god the rabbit holes people, I'm gonna break an ankle). Because, you see, butterfly, carpenter and baronet all have the same number of syllables and would keep the cadence of the poem. But what I did find interesting is that The Walrus from the poem is what John Lennon refers to in the Beatles, “I am The Walrus” from their Magical Mystery Tour Album, and if I play one second of that song this whole episode will get deleted from most platforms it's published. Oops! Her is an excerpt from the 1980 Playboy magazine interview with John Lennon: LENNON: "The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend… PLAYBOY: "What about the walrus itself?" LENNON: "It's from 'The Walrus and the Carpenter.' 'Alice in Wonderland.' To me, it was a beautiful poem. It never dawned on me that Lewis Carroll was commenting on the capitalist and social system. I never went into that bit about what he really meant, like people are doing with the Beatles' work. Later, I went back and looked at it and realized that the walrus was the bad guy in the story and the carpenter was the good guy. I thought, Oh, shit, I picked the wrong guy. I should have said, 'I am the carpenter.' But that wouldn't have been the same, would it? (singing) 'I am the carpenter....'" So this got me to thinking if John was the Walrus from a Lewis Carroll peom, then who is the eggman? It turns out the Eggman is Eric Burdon. Please don't say who is Eric Burdon. Did you just say who is Eric Burdon? Shame on you. How about Eric Burdon and The Animals, does that sound more familiar? How about the band WAR? That Eric Burdon, who Rolling Stone named #57 on their list of top 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Why is Eric Burdon the eggman? Apparently, Mr. Burdon had this sexual fetish that involved cracking a raw egg and I won't get into anymore details on that. However, Eric relayed the story to John Lennon and Lennon nicknamed Eric “Eggman” as in, “go get it Eggman.” How's that for a rabbit hole? The rabbit hole continued by the way as I found an interview of John Lennon speaking of the Beatles songs he liked personally… It also led me to this bit from Lennon not long before his assassination on being 40, on not being the person his fans wanted him to be, on what it's like being in your 20's and having people hang on your every word Basically the message is that we all need the time to grow out of our misconceptions about life. Many teens and twenty-somethings are full of energy and piss and vinegar and it lacks focus and direction because they haven't figured it out yet. It comes with a lot of frustration and even anger. And the last thing this age group needs, particularly males… particularly white males… are guns… particularly assault rifles. I had to do it, didn't I? I had to ruin a nice nostalgic romp by bringing in politics. Here it is: you shouldn't be allowed to purchase a gun, particularly an assault style weapon until you are 25 and here's why: leave it to experts in assessing risk and see what they do. The insurance industry. They don't let anyone rent a car until they're 25 years old. Why? Because when it comes to a vehicle that travels at high speeds and can kill someone, they are relatively irresponsible, they make bad decisions and they are a bad risk when it comes to renting a car. Bad risk, bad business decision, so they don't do it. No one complains about that. It's a fact of life and it's common sense. So do the same with guns. And you might say: “Oh but I can get drafted and then they GIVE me a gun! Very, very different situation. 1) they train you very specifically and thoroughly on the use of said weapon, 2) You are not allowed to carry it around wherever you go unless, #3) You are going into combat where there will be many others with the same weapons. It's called our military or militia which we did not have… at all, when the 2nd amendment was written, including all that stuff I said in another episode about how many shots could be fired per minute when the 2nd amendment was written. It's 3 shots per minute by the way, maybe 4 if you're an expert at reloading a musket. Not 40 or 60 or 100 or whatever number you come up with. Okay, I apologize for ruining a nice story about a poem with politics. Actually, the first story was about politics too only I was mainly bagging on the other party. I try to be an equal opportunity offender. Well, I might as well make it three for three… ITEM #3: the Saturday Night Massacre - What the heck was that? I'm sure you guys know because you're not morons but I had never heard of it and it was brought up as a parallel to the January 6th shenanigans of our former idiot in chief Donald Dump. On October 20th 1973 Nixon ORDERED his Attorney General AND his Deputy AG to fire the guy investigating the Watergate break-in. Not only did they not fire him, they both resigned in protest which left the role of attorney general to the Solicitor General. This poor bastard went along with Nixon's request and fired the special prosecutor Cox. Less than a half hour later, the White House sent FBI agents to shut down the offices of the Special Prosecutor, AND the Attorney General AND Deputy Attorney General. Can you believe that shit? Well, the 1970's version of the internet blew up, that being Western Union telegraph. Have any of you ever sent a telegram? Me neither. Over 50,000 telegrams came in to Washington DC from citizens. I wonder what the equivalent number of tweets would be? Members of Congress, presumably democrats, called for Nixon's impeachment. So… Nixon had to appoint another prosecutor for the Watergate scandal named Leon Jaworski, remember that name? No, not the Eagles quarterback, that's Ron Jaworski. Well, Jaworski pressed for the release of those tricky Dick tape recordings… the one's that mysteriously had like 17 minutes missing? And he got them released and the following August tricky Dick took a final trip… home… Touching. Well, it appears our favorite reality show president, how's that for irony, literally held an episode of the apprentice in the oval office and considered pulling the same stunt. He had his AG and his Deputy AG along with the nutty environmental attorney Jeffrey Clark. Clark is the one that was told to go back to his office and they would call him when there's an oil spill. Trump was told he would face massive resignations and he knew this Clark guy would not make it happen for Donny boy. But it's an interesting parallel between the teflon Don and tricky Dick. ITEM #4: NPR wants you to make them your only news source. I heard this just a few minutes ago. No Emmie Martinez No, Ari Shapiro. And even a no to, “Oh goodness gracious It's Scott Simon”. The days of trusting one news source is gone and if you are using only one news source, then shame on you. Go and read some news from a site that's a little bit to the right or left of where you normally sit in your comfort zone. But no single news sources anymore unfortunately. Wow, I got through that last one pretty efficiently. CLOSE - In closing, I think one thing is very obvious… I need to find guests for this show. Otherwise It's too much. Too much of me, too much opinion, and way too much work. At least twice as much work, probably more and it's not as enjoyable for either of us. Also… an addendum to try and correct my moronoscity, did a quick search and it seems you can rent a car if you are under 25 these days, but you will pay a premium to do so. Drivers under the age of 25 can expect to pay an “underage fee” and depending on the location that is around $25 to $30 a day which adds up. But the rationale is the same: younger drivers are less experienced at driving (or life) and and are more likely to take risks and this holds especially for males as they are generally more likely to take risks in terms of health and the enjoyment expected from risky activities.

The boys drink and review Oliver Brewing's Box Turtle Kolsch, then discuss that best-selling LGBT author, Matt Walsh. P&C discuss their general impressions of Matt Walsh, then review some of his recent works, starting with "Johnny the Walrus." In this wonderful children's book, little Johnny likes to pretend he's a walrus. His woke mother felt she had to affirm Johnny as a walrus but eventually learns to be a responsible parent. P&C both bought the book because they want to affirm sensible people who say no to the insane elements of the woke left. This is a great book to read to your kids. They'll get it. All your woke friends won't. If this was all Matt Walsh did to save the culture, that would be enough. But he also produced a fantastic documentary called "What is a woman?" in which he interviews some truly frightening people saying incredibly scary things. It's the kind of nonsense that's so insane you're not sure whether to laugh or cry. His technique was simple. He asked simple questions and let these idiots speak for themselves. There's no need to refute them. They're self-evidently crazy.

In this episode of the podcast, I have explained "Arctic Refugee Drilling" and President Biden's decision about it which came few days ago. This is the last episode of "Season 1" and I have planned something very important for the next season for audience like you. Stay Tuned!Additional Info:In 1989, the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska's Prince William Sound. Exxon spent $2 billion trying to clean up and recovered less than 7 percent of the oil spilled. In 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout spilled up to 200 million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico. Of that, only about 8 percent was recovered or burned off. Extreme conditions—including icy waves that reach 50 feet—make response in the event of an Arctic spill even more difficult. The nearest response stations to Arctic drilling sites are located thousands of miles away. For decades, Murkowski and other Alaska politicians have seen the refuge as an extension of Prudhoe Bay, the nation's largest oil field and the state's aging cash cow, which has been in steady decline since 1988. In 2017, Murkowski's daughter, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), managed to slip a provision mandating two ANWR lease sales of at least 400,000 acres each into the massive federal tax cut bill. She and the Trump Administration estimated that the oil field might ultimately generate $100 billion in revenue for the federal treasury. The financial challenges to drilling anywhere in the Arctic stem from the physical challenges—and those are increasing, thanks to fossil fuels themselves. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, turning rock-hard frozen permafrost into a land of lakes, sinkholes, and boggy peat in the summer. Last June, after weeks of record high temperatures that hit over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a giant diesel fuel tank in the Siberian city of Norilsk sank into the tundra and ruptured, spilling 21,000 metric tons (157,500 barrels) of fuel—nearly half the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez tanker off Alaska in 1989—and creating the largest spill in modern Russian history.Arctic's abundant wildlife would be impacted by offshore drilling and a potential oil spill in the Arctic. Polar bears spend so much of their lives on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean that they're actually classified as marine mammals. They're talented swimmers and spend more than half their time hunting for food—mainly seals. Walruses—and their unmistakable white tusks—are a mainstay of Arctic marine life. Belugas, the bright white whales of the Arctic, sit at the top of the food chain and play a crucial role in the ocean by distributing nutrients to phytoplankton. Ringed, ribbon, spotted, and bearded seals are collectively known as the “ice seals” and live on sea ice in the Arctic for at least part of the year. Expansion of oil and gas drilling in their habitat could be extremely damaging.

Tonight's group chat occurred in costumes, and it was delightful!After a lengthy discussion of "Florida Man", a general confusion of units of land size, and establishing that Jenny Bower lives in a world of clocks, we explore the idea of getting drunk in space, and the importance of fire extinguishers. We had to cut it short when a pair of walruses started doing weird things.
Johnny sits down with Yves (internationally published model) in Brooklyn, NY to explore some of the pressures that come along with losing friends after coming out as gay, being treated like a token, and having your physical appearance critiqued by strangers for a living.
