There was a man who fell in a well because he couldn't see that well. That's how the joke goes. Poor guy. Sad bananas get adopted because of empathy. I'm a sad banana.
I didn't know what cuttlefish can do. Now you do. I do now. Someone in the robo swallows like a cartoon character. Who is it?

What? Yep. Saint Nicholas Day. Is it Saint Nicholas Day on, 25th? Nope.
Oh. Nope. Today? December 6th, then the West. The East Christian countries, it's celebrated on 19th.
Do you know who Saint Nicholas is? Yeah. You do. Yeah. I know.
Yeah. You know. You know. Do you know? Father Christmas.
Yeah. Santa Claus. Do you know who Saint Nicholas is? What? I said, do you know who Saint Nicholas is?
I just I just said. Yeah. Just because you read about him doesn't mean you know him. I see. Has he ever even visited you, or have you always been on the naughty list?
I'm pretty for sure I'm not. This is interesting. Here's the deal. Okay. If you did not know who Saint Nicholas is, you'll more than likely still know of his American version, Santa Claus, or the British version, Father Christmas.
The latter 2, Santa Claus and Father Christmas, give presents on Christmas day. Saint Nicholas, however, gives presents on December 6th. Really? Mhmm. Interesting.
I've never gotten a present on December 6th. Saint Nicholas comes from Turkey and was part of the Roman Empire. Saint Nicholas? Uh-huh. Why have you never given me a gift?
Because we are not in Turkey or part of the Roman Empire. Oh, details. I know. But it's a little Christmas fun. You know?
That is a little Christmas fun, Josh. What's what fun? What Christmas fun? Today is also mitten tree day. Mitten tree.
What's a mitten tree? Well, you like mittens? Yes. Actually, I don't like mittens. You don't like all 4 fingers, 1 thumb?
No. I don't. You don't. What are you supposed to do with your 4 fingers? You can't do anything.
They stay warm friends. No. They don't. I like mittens. I'd there's too much space in there.
What? I have a pair of mittens you might really like. This other pair of mittens that I have inside has individual, finger things like a glove, but it's still a mitten. I would like that, actually. Finger dividers inside the mitten.
I would like that. That's what I need. It's okay. It's not bad. I prefer just one big mitten hand.
There's too much space in there. There's so much cold air going around all that space. And you can't do anything. Your fingers are like this, your hands, like a car key. Everything.
Like a Barbie? Yeah. Or like a Lego man. No. No mittens for me.
Anyway, I'm sorry. What is the mitten tree? Mitten tree day, the background of this day is likely celebrated, or excuse me, credited to, school teachers as a way to have a fun Christmas time activity for the children to make while they were in school. They would make paper mittens and make a mitten tree out of it. It's probably the origin.
Oh, I bet you're right. And then somewhere along the way, it was like, get some mittens and make a mitten tree. Get some mittens. Yeah. Put mittens on the tree.
It's mitten tree day. Get with the program. I You know? With it. I'm with the program.
And lastly, put on your own shoes. I did. Yeah. Get me. Today's the day.
Step right up, young ones. It's time to learn the fine art of tying your own shoelaces today. Put on your own shoes. Break. Put on your own shoes, babe.
Put on your own shoes. Don't make it mean, though. Hey. Put on your own shoes. Let's get some self Independence?
Yes. Mhmm. Put on your own shoes. You guys can do it. You can do it.
It also could be a metaphor for, walking your own path in life. Oh. It could be. It could be. But it also could just be, hey.
Let's learn how to tie up your own shoelaces today. How about it, kids? Or it could just be Loop, swoop, and pull. Celebrate the nice, simple, humble shoe. You know?
It could it could be. Not out there being proud. Just being a shoe. Keeping our feet from pokey things. Way to go, shoe.
Good job, Shu. Mhmm. High five your Shu. High five. There was a 22 year old man in Thailand who was walking along in a forest.
That's what he was doing. He was. Fell into a well. Aw. You didn't see that well.
Hey. Stop it. Badabum. No one in a nearby village came to save him for 3 days because Why? They heard him screaming.
They heard him yelling. Were they spooked out? They thought it was a ghost. They thought the forest was haunted. And they said, we're not going in there.
We're not gonna go There's some shitting in there. Haunted forest. Oh, no. Now listen. About a year ago, I got stuck in an elevator Yes.
You did. At my other job. Yes. You did. I did not have a phone.
Nope. The power was out, so even the elevator phone wasn't connected or wasn't working. Now in that elevator, there was a bell. Yeah. I rang that bell a lot of times.
Uh-huh. I think that bell is there in case things like that happen. I would agree. The people that I work with, my coworkers, said they heard the bell. They didn't know what it was.
They didn't know what it was. Yeah. And none of them went to investigate. Nah. Why would you do that?
No. This poor man, I know his plight. I know how sad he must have been. Someone, please. Please.
Someone. A lot of ghosts. Please. Anyone. Come and help me.
Come with your friends. Man. I promise I'm not a ghost. Someone get me out of this well. Someone get me out of this elevator.
Hey. Guess what? They eventually got me out of the elevator. Well Well, not my coworkers. No.
No. No. No. No. The fire department.
Well, no. No. No. Like, I was banging on the on the elevator, and there was a woman walking by who said, hello? And I said, go get help.
Suck. I suck. But it ended up being rescued by the, firefighters, didn't you? Yes. I did.
I had to call the fire department. Yeah. I was like a cat up a tree. Except you didn't put yourself I mean, you kinda did. You walked into the elevator without a phone.
Well, I think that it's it's a mistake anybody could make. Anyone could have made that. Just like this guy walking along. He didn't know there was a well that he was gonna fall into. See that well.
He didn't see that well. You're right. Yeah. It's a good it's a good joke. I'm glad everything's okay, and I can make that joke because, I would feel bad if I made that joke, and then you were like, and he is now actually a ghost.
You know how he got out? He was stuck in the well for 3 days. Cops driving by heard his screams. He told them he'd only been yelling once an hour to conserve energy, and luckily, the cops were driving by just at the time that he was yelling. Wow.
Once an hour, he was like, oh, it's almost time to yell. It took 30 minutes for them to get him out. He was covered in bruises. He had a head injury and a broken wrist. They're gonna seal up the well so that nobody else falls in.
Good idea. Good idea. And, also, it's not a ghost. It's a man. Stuck in a well.
Get him out. Well, he's out. Fellow? Yeah. No kidding.
Yikes. Alright. Some good news for you. It's been a challenging year for 2 families in Minnesota. I'm sure more than just 2, but these 2 particularly, both had premature babies being cared for, at the M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital Uh-huh.
In Minnesota. Okay. In April, Annalisa Molly gave birth to her son, Cooper, who even at 6 months old, weighed less than £2. Oh, man. Tiny.
6 months old? Yes. Tiny. Now remember, born prematurely. Right.
So over the past 6 months, it's gotten to be 2 whole pounds. 2 pounds. Almost. Still a little less than. Holy.
The family watched as the medical staff of the NICU took care of Cooper doing everything they can to help him grow and thrive. And about a month after Cooper arrived, he was joined by another baby boy. Now I'm I'm gonna spell this name for you. Okay. R a g h u.
This kid's name's Raghu. Yeah. I'm just gonna say that. Okay. I just that's how I'm pronouncing it.
It may not be Ragu. It sure looks like his name's Ragu. Anyway, he's going through the exact same difficulties. So the families bonded, and they supported each other through all the ups and downs, and the boys seem to have bonded as well. Aw.
Both of them beep at each other. They make a beeping sound to one another. Way. Yeah. So they're talking to each other In the little Hanging out in their NICU.
Yep. In their little backs. At each other, which, again, there's a lot of machines. The beeping noises, I'm sure, are prevalent, so they're they've figured out how to mimic stuff. They're they're they're talking machine right now.
Anyway, so the the two families have said, because they started beeping at each other, we believe that they are buddies from the start. They have to do the exact same thing, and the families expect to remain friends moving forward, which I think is very special. Yeah. Ragu was recently able to go home. Cooper's expected to go home in the next few days, according to Anna, who's Cooper's mom.
So here we are going home just a week apart from each other, which is crazy and just so fun. How Ragu had the same Under premature and underweight stuff. Yep. Aw. In the NICU.
I know. There's a little best of friends. I know. Cooper and Ragu. Beeping at each other.
It's kind of their house. That name. Right? Man, the best of friends have the secret language. That's right.
There's a secret up a language with one of your friends? Nope. Yeah. It's the best. Is it?
I bet. Did you oh, you don't have a secret language, friend? Oh. I mean, you. We don't beep at each other.
No. But we could. We should. I mean, we could. That's adorable.
That is good news to get you going. Good morning. Have you ever been at the grocery store and seen a sad banana, a sad, lonely banana? Like, maybe it's been picked from the bunch, and it's just kind of there by itself. The only time I ever remember seeing a sad banana was when the grocery store, that we used to go to that they closed.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm still upset about that. It's been years, but I'm still sad. I know.
That was my grocery store. I me too. We went there. It was very conveniently located. I liked all the people that were there.
Deals. Anyway and it was only grocery. Like, you went in, and you were like, this is and there were foods that we really liked and grew accustomed to that we can't get now. Anyway, I digress. Yeah.
Thanks for bringing that up. When we would go shopping there, they had a little kiosk thing, and it said, like, free fruit for kids or whatever. That's the only time I ever saw a lonely banana. It wasn't sad. It wasn't, like, like, bruised or anything.
It was just a free lonely banana. Yeah. Researchers have found grocery researchers have found that those sad lonely bananas, people are more inclined to pick them up and take them home if you put a sign out that says, hey. I'm a sad, lonely banana. No.
They tried it. They there were some grocery stores that didn't they couldn't get rid of those sad, lonely bananas. So they put a sign out that said, we are sad singles, and we wanna go home with you too. And it upped their sales by 58%. Big deal.
Making them making them feel emotional about it. Tried this with, like, happy, happy banana sign that said, hey. We're happy lonely, or we're happy all alone bananas. And people weren't into it. And people were like Right.
5% versus the 58% of people that bought it. Felt sad about the sad banana. Empathy. People people are empathetic, I suppose. They don't want people to be sad and lonely.
So they humanized the banana and made people feel like, if you walk by, that's on you. Take me home. Yeah. That banana's gonna be lonely sitting there because you just walked right by with your cart. Oh.
Plus, how much is one banana? Like, 30¢? I don't I don't know. It's all dependent upon the weight. Oh.
Do you have a big banana, or do you have a small banana? Big sad banana. I'm a 64¢ banana alone. Poor bananas. They'll they'll be okay.
I think they will be too. And here's the other part. Those bananas, they're gonna go home, and guess what? What? Their fate is not good.
Oh, not on our counter. Why? All of our bananas got eaten this time. Did they? They did.
Wow. That's a first. I went to the wedding. My lunch yesterday, and I went, where's all the bananas? They had been eaten.
All of the bananas had been eaten. How about that? What a time that is. That doesn't happen. That does not happen.
Last week, I had to throw it through away because I went, I could save these for banana bread, but we all know I'm not gonna make banana bread. They never turn into banana bread. They just sit on the counter sad watching everyone walk by. You could have a banana. Not this time.
Okay. Maybe I'll make a sad banana sign for home. Maybe. I've been forgotten. Oh.
Oh, sad bananas. There's 2 people out of the fort in our house that eat bananas. So the odds of bananas surviving in my house are slim. Not this go around. They all got eaten.
They did. So well done, banana eaters. Thank you. You're good. Go ahead.
Listen to this news. What's the news? Scientists in China claim that they've come up with a new material that changes colors based on what's around it, like a camouflage y invisibility cloak. Is it a mood ring? Is it, made out of cuttlefish?
What is it? I don't know what it is. It's material. Okay. Thank you for sharing.
It is camouflaging material. Uh-huh. That's what I know. But it changes colors like a chameleon. Yes.
In fact, the article I'm reading there is a picture of a chameleon. Josh. Oh, there's much better like, the cuttlefish is a way better camouflage than the chameleon. I don't know anything about cuttlefish. How do you know so much about cuttlefish?
How do you not? I don't know. Have you never seen what a cuttlefish can do? No. You need to get with the program.
Need to go do some cuttlefish research, I suppose. Probably the best, animal at camouflage on the planet. More so than chameleons? Yes. More so than that.
Top of the list. No one is better at camouflage than Cuttlefish. Really? Cuttlefish is insane. Cuttlefish, congratulations for being the best camouflagers.
I'm surprised you didn't know this. Why would I know that? I don't know. I'm yeah. I am gonna show you cuttlefish, and you are your brain is gonna melt.
I didn't know you didn't know about cuttlefish. I mean, I know about cuttlefish. I've heard about cuttlefish. You've heard of it. I just didn't know that they were camouflagey.
That's, like, their number one thing they're they do is camouflage. Like, what else do you know about cuttlefish? Nothing. That they exist. Yeah.
That's the only thing you knew. Yeah. You didn't know anything about their camouflage No. Which is what they're famous for. Apparently.
Look at us learning about cuttlefish. Who's us? Me. Look at you. And I'm I'm Learning.
There might be some people listening that are like, I did not know that. There's also some people going, how did she not know about the camouflage and capabilities of the cuttlefish? Master of disguise, the cuttlefish. Anyway, if you had one of these, Cuttlefish clothes. Materials, yeah, that could camouflage, what would you do?
You're not a hunter, so you you wouldn't use it for that. No. But I did wear a ghillie suit once. Yeah. And, Not to hunt?
No. A buddy a buddy and I put on ghillie suits and snuck up on people. It was a good time because you literally if you move slow enough, you look like a pile of leaves, and no one sees you there. I mean, we got real close to people before they spotted us and were scared. It was a good time.
So probably something like that. How long were you there for? We we did it for probably an hour or more. It was fun. That was a good time.
Good job, guys. Yeah. I know who that was that you did that. I know. Is that your buddy Carl?
That was my buddy Carl. Josh and Carl. Yep. Hanging out in ghillie suits, scaring people. Having some hijinks.
Yeah. That's what we did. Cuddle fishing around. Good job, guys. Yeah.
That's what I would do. What would you do? What would I do? What would I do if I could be invisible? Camouflaged, not invisible.
Camouflage. I would probably listen to people's conversations. You weirdo. Get the tea. I'd be like, oh, I know so much about you.
So there I was minding my own business, having a drink in the hallway, and you said I can hear you swallowing from in here. Cartoon character. You you you do. You do. I don't I don't think that I do.
Listen. I think I swallow like a normal person. You do. It's just comically loud. I don't know how, though, Josh.
I really don't know how. Having that, protein drink thing. Yeah. And now all I hear I'm working on something on the computer, and I just hear. And I'm like, what is happening?
Does not sound like that. It sounds exactly like that. I think you just have supersonic hearing. I really do. I think I have fine hearing.
I don't need to have fine hearing to hear Donald Duck's sink dripping in the night. Wow. Wow. I need a second opinion because I think that I am a typical noise eater. Okay.
And I think that you have a condition called misophonia I do. Which makes you hyper alert to noise. The Particularly mouth noises. Yeah. And true.
It's made me super self conscious. I just need you to know that. Well, that's not the goal. I don't have a goal in in mind. I other than to raise awareness self awareness.
Oh. That's all. I have self awareness. You have given me a lot of self awareness. Thank you Good.
Very much. Good. I can't eat in front of anyone. Oh, come on. I can't.
You can eat whenever you want, wherever you want. You've made me so You eat in front of me every day. Because I have to. We share the same space in a lot of different ways. I know.
Like, when you're drinking a smoothie thing. A woonk? I don't I don't understand. I really don't. I feel like it's a normal noise.
I feel like I'm doing it quietly. I need a second opinion. I need a I I've I've got a theory about somehow the noises, reverberate out of your head differently. Well, yeah, they do for everybody. Yeah.
I know. But what I need is a regular person, not you, somebody who has regular hearing Sure. To sit where you are Yeah. I'll be where I was. K.
And see if they can Hear you. Hear me. Gloop. Gloop. Gloop.
Gloop. It's not glooping. It's a regular swallow. I don't understand. That's what I hear.
Thanks. Thanks a lot. It does it with water too, so it's not drink specific. No. It's just swallowing specific.
But what but if you just swallow right now, if you just if you just do a normal swallow, does it make the noise? There. Did you hear it? No. That didn't make the noise.
So it's gotta be something to do with the liquid. It's I don't know what it is. There's there's something about it. Let me take a sip of water. Uh-huh.
Alright. It was there. You were off mic, but it was there. Regular. A regular person just happened a drink of water, and you have ruined me.

You couldn't you didn't even really know when your parents were gonna come pick you up. Well, sometimes, I mean, I did have a pager, which was a one way communication.
Pager? Yes. Why? Because I was cool. Were you a doctor?
No. No. I was on call for life. You can page me. You're so I did.
I carried around a pager. I thought it was it was really cool. It was like a translucent, like, fluorescent yellow color, and it had a hey, Arnold sticker on it. That sounds so cool. I know.
You didn't know how cool I was when you were like, this is the guy I'm gonna marry and be with forever. And that's me. That's me. The guy with the pager with the hey, Arnold sticker on it. Wow, sir.
I am with the coolest. I know. And now you're learning. So I I could be paged, you know, at any time, and and then I would find a phone to call you back. Okay.
Good job. So that was, that was my So you had a connection. Device. A one way connection I did not have anything to add. It was it was just my home phone number, and it would say 911, which just meant call right now.
It's an emergency. And I'd go, okay. Call right now. And then you had to find a phone, which was tricky. Not they were around.

Tapioca pudding? Nope. Vanilla pudding? Nope. You don't eat vanilla pudding?

Topped with vanilla. Right? Yeah. K. Alright.
Topped with a generous slice of raw whale meat. Now that's unnecessary. What have you done? You immediately opened your eyes. Yeah.
I was I saw a big hunk of meat, and it was it was kind of a purplish hue. No. It's not. Blubbery, kind of black side. No.
That's what I saw in my vision. Okay. That's not what it looks like. Seen whale meat. So that's what I pictured a whale meat looked like.
I have now because I've seen this picture. This is, What are we doing? This is happening at Why are we getting whale meat? This is happening at Japanese farmers markets, which I thought whales were illegal to hunt. So You watched that whale wars show.
And they were constantly fighting with Japan over whales. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we should be harvesting whale meat. Let's not.
Let's not do that. Whales are they should be a protected species. I'm with you. They're anyway, okay. I'm I just looked up whale meat ice cream.
And? It's all purple. So why are you telling me this isn't purple? One is not purple. Whale meat ice cream.
Okay. Time out. Because this okay. Time out. That's not that's not it.
Okay. Okay. Well, the picture I see at the ice cream looks, purple. Uh-huh. And then there's a big thing of raw raw meat on top.
The thing. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Now I'm looking. I'm looking purple. Trying to find a picture. Do you see what I'm seeing? No.
Not yet. Are they not? I found an article, but they don't have a picture. Alright. I wish I could show you what this looks like.
Let me take a picture of my computer screen. Okay. Here's what they're doing. I see a terrible Photoshop. They're they're serving this in Japan.
K. And a lot of people say ice cream and well meat actually do go very well together. They sprinkle pepper on the top of it because even soy sauce can't mask the distinctive smell of Whale. Whale. Okay.
And then it says the whale meat is dark red flesh. But here's the picture that I see. Dark purple. I'm so confused. I don't know what is the whale made, and what is the ice cream.
Yeah. That's that's terrible Photoshop. That's the terrible Photoshop picture. How do you know? Because look at it.
It's not even proportionate to anything. That's not that's a pile of Photoshop. There's a white border around the whale cracker on top. I don't think this is a real thing. It is a weird thing.
No. I didn't know it's weird. I don't think it's real. I it is a real thing. I don't think they were able to capture a real picture of what it looks like.
The picture is not real. That is I'll grant you that. The photoshopped image. But I do think that they are eating raw whale meat on ice cream. You don't think that's real?
I think they probably are. Okay. But I think they shouldn't be. I don't think they should be either. We shouldn't be eating whale.
Is that show still happening, that whale wars show? I don't know. There was some controversy around, some of the maritime laws because they they have to in order to sail in international waters, you have to you have to sail underneath the flag of a country. And they were having they were they're having disputes with countries because people don't want to make Japan mad. And so they were having a hard time if I remember right, they were having a hard time, getting certified by a country to to exist underneath them as a protective entity.
It it it got it got real weird and political. So I don't know. I don't know. Last episode aired in 2008. Yeah.
It's it it was a fun, interesting show. That was fascinating. Interesting show, on Animal Planet. But Okay. Anyway Moral of the story, I don't wanna eat well.
