00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.719
It is time to believe your warriors outside and join

2
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.719
me Daniel Malley and trade Trendholm inside the Treehouse. We

3
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:43.240
are without Raja in today, still figuring out New York City.

4
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:51.240
Wi FI seems to be very vexing, extremely well. Once again,

5
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.840
we forage ahead because the Treehouse doesn't really stop or

6
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.200
slow down for most people. So we will power through

7
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:07.000
as we do in the face of adversity. And I

8
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.920
don't Trey. Are you familiar with the Nobel Prizes.

9
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.319
Generally? Yeah?

10
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:20.280
Okay, the did you know that the guy that started

11
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.519
the Nobel Prizes is of Scandinavian dissent?

12
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.560
I knew the awards are in Norway, I think so,

13
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.640
I assume so, yes.

14
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.159
Yeah, I learned that recently by going to the Nordic

15
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.920
Museum here in Ballard, Washington. It's a little suburb or

16
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.040
slash town of Seattle that we've been staying in for

17
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.400
the past six weeks, and before we leave here, I

18
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.439
wanted to make sure that we went to this Nordic

19
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.040
museum because there's all sorts of Nordic stuff in this

20
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.480
area and I was wondering why. It turns out it's

21
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.959
just mass immigration at the turn of the twentieth century.

22
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.319
And you know, I'll just go ahead and say this now,

23
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.400
because in Raja's absence of nothing is wider than a

24
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.840
Nordic museum.

25
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.919
It's true. I looked not a single Norwegian of color

26
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:18.520
that I saw in that museum, and honestly, I don't.

27
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.560
I don't by choice, I would not want to live

28
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:32.960
in Scandinavia. But apparently the climates in Scandinavia and the

29
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.319
Pacific Northwest are very similar, okay, or at least similar

30
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.400
enough so that at the turn of the century, and

31
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.360
by the turn of the centuries, I mean the nineteenth

32
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:54.639
to the twentieth century, Norwegians, Finns, Denmarkians, they all came

33
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.000
to the Pacific Northwest. They started at around the same

34
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.680
time that the Irish did the potato fam and had

35
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.319
just had a similar effect on Scandinavia. So and there

36
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.759
was also, you know, the idea of land and farming

37
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.639
in the New World in America, so that brought a

38
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.199
lot of people here, and a lot of the people

39
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.520
from the Scandinavian countries settled in the Seattle area because

40
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.960
very similar climate and terrain. It looked very similar at

41
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.719
this Nordic museum, they were showing video of Norway and

42
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.719
it looks very similar to parts of Seattle, which is

43
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.120
kind of cool. The only reason I bring all this

44
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.560
up is because I went to museum. I want to

45
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.039
brag about it because it had been for ever since

46
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.520
I've been to one, and also because of the Nobel Prizes,

47
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:41.439
because Trey, you're correct. Alfred Nobel was a man who

48
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:48.000
started the Nobel Prizes, and with his immense wealth, he

49
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:54.759
funded the Nobel Prizes. He was an inventor, entrepreneur, scientist,

50
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.800
and businessman who also wrote poetry and drama. His varied

51
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.599
interests are reflected in the prize he established, in which

52
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.840
he laid the foundation for in eighteen ninety five, when

53
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.240
he wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth

54
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.759
to the establishment of the prize. Pretty cool, right. He

55
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.160
was born October twenty first, eighteen thirty three. He died

56
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.160
December tenth, eighteen ninety six. He left thirty one million

57
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:31.680
Swedish kronor to fund the prizes, So there you go.

58
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.199
Did because I know there's a number of Nobel Prizes

59
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.279
from science to peace to arts, medicine. Yeah, did he

60
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.759
establish all those or of those since been where there

61
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.839
was established after.

62
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.240
I have not read that far down on the Wikipedia

63
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.000
profile trade.

64
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.480
Okay, let me.

65
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.560
So I can find out for you. He specified that

66
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.439
the bulk of his fortune should be divided into five

67
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.040
parts and be used for prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology,

68
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.800
or medicine, literature, and peace, to quote those who during

69
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.160
the preceding year shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.

70
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.800
My god, people could write back in those days. So

71
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.160
to answer your question, Trey, the original Nobel Prizes were

72
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.319
for physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine, literature, and peace.

73
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.560
So you did establish them all.

74
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.199
Yep, very cool, pretty cool. That's not treehouse style, though

75
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.160
you know it is tree house style. Have you heard

76
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.079
of the ig Nobel Prizes?

77
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.079
I have not.

78
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:49.959
That really warms my heart. The ig Nobel Prizes are

79
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:56.519
very different than the traditional Nobel Prizes because the IG

80
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.439
Nobel Prizes are for the weirdest and dumbest insight that

81
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.079
science has offered in twenty twenty four. All right, I

82
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.120
don't know if this has any affiliation to Alfred Nobel.

83
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:12.319
I would assume based on his will, probably not. But

84
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.079
you know what, for all the smart, crazy genius advancements

85
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.319
we have and all those categories that we just mentioned,

86
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.399
there's also the other end of the spectrum, and that's

87
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:27.360
where the ig Nobel Prizes make their money. So this year,

88
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.720
twenty twenty four, the ig Nobel Prize winners have been announced.

89
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.360
This year's winners include Number one, researchers found many mammal

90
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.360
Researchers found many mammals are capable of breathing through their butts.

91
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.079
One study showed doctors might be able to treat things

92
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.720
like COVID using a special mixture of oxygenated liquid. So

93
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.839
there's one. You can breathe through your button. You didn't

94
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.680
know it. Number two a team in Amsterdam did three

95
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.399
hundred and fifty thousand flips and found it's not really

96
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.160
fifty to fifty coins are slightly more likely to land

97
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.240
on the same side they started on. See can you

98
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.639
hear Alfred Nobel rolling over in his grave repeatedly.

99
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.560
That and uh sounds like something City of Dallas would fund.

100
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.000
Oh god, it does. Let's see if City of Dallas

101
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.720
makes an appearance here in the Ignobel Prizes. Number three,

102
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.879
this year's Peace Prize went to a study that looked

103
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.120
at whether you could put pigeons inside missiles to help

104
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.079
guide them.

105
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:37.480
No.

106
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.480
Look, it's bad enough if you get taken out by

107
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.560
a missile, right because you know it's it's not the

108
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.959
glorious end that you might be hoping for in battle,

109
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.879
but especially not one that's by a pigeon guided warhead.

110
00:07:57.959 --> 00:07:59.519
Because satellites weren't good enough.

111
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.879
They well, what if the satellites go down? You need

112
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.360
something to depend on, like a good old fashioned homing pigeon.

113
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.240
That sounds like something the Onion would would put up.

114
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.800
Also, if the ig Nobel Prizes did an award for journalism,

115
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.560
the Onion would win every year. Yeah. Number four. The

116
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.120
Botany ig Nobel Prize went to a study that found

117
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.519
some plants will imitate the shapes of fake plastic plants

118
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.480
if you put them next to each other. That's actually

119
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.639
kind of interesting. I don't think that as a botanist

120
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.039
or a scientist in general, that would be the focus

121
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.720
of my career's work, but I guess if it was

122
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.919
a side hustle maybe. The Anatomy Prize went to a

123
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.159
study that looked at the direction your hair swirls in

124
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.000
and whether it's affected by the hemisphere you're born in.

125
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.080
Basically sort of like the myth that toilets flush in

126
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.600
opposite in opposite directions.

127
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.039
And what was the conclusion of that study.

128
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.919
I don't know. I didn't read that far, but see

129
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.840
you're curious. Yeah, and as someone that's got a little

130
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.120
I call it a little hurricane swirl right here. I'm

131
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.039
a chest I got a little chest hair. Looks like

132
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.360
a little hurricane right there. I wonder how did I

133
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.600
get that? Where is that from? I don't know. I

134
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.720
wasn't born in the Southern hemisphere, so I don't know

135
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.679
if it's going the proper direction or if it's the

136
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:21.759
correct direction. I don't know.

137
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.399
And I guess that's something to do with the adoption

138
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.200
facility and whatever experiments they did on you.

139
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.799
Yeah, probably tossed me in the ocean to see if

140
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.440
it float, which is pretty hard to do considering how

141
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.440
it was born in Oklahoma, so that took some real effort.

142
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.639
Number six, the ig Nobel Prize for Medicine went to

143
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.600
a study that found Placebo's work better if they cause

144
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:56.639
a few painful side effects. I love the Ignobel Prizes.

145
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.519
I had forgotten about these for a couple of years.

146
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.480
I'm glad to have them back inside the house.

147
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.759
Yeah, I had never heard of these. This is fantastic,

148
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.919
so it's about to get better, Okay.

149
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.320
The Chemistry prize went to a study that used a

150
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:18.639
process called chromatography to make drunken sober worms race each other.

151
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.759
The prize for demographics went to a study that found

152
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.120
places where people supposedly live the longest tend to have

153
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.039
poor record keeping when it comes to when people were born.

154
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.879
The Biology prize went to an old study from nineteen

155
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.679
forty one where researchers popped brown paper bags while a

156
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.679
cat stood on a cow's back. Why they were trying

157
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.240
to see if they could scare cows into producing more milk.

158
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:52.799
I don't know why they needed a cat for that,

159
00:10:52.840 --> 00:11:01.559
but that's what they did, and finally finding out. The

160
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:06.799
ig Nobel Prizes for twenty twenty four these are the

161
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.120
weirdest and dumbest things that science has done over the

162
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.720
previous year. The Physics Prize went to a study that

163
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:24.399
looked at the swimming abilities of dead trout. Didn't seem

164
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.639
like a hypothesis that would seem too difficult to prove.

165
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:34.240
It does, but I'm still stuck on how do you

166
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.919
get a worm drunk? And then how do you know

167
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.080
that they're drunk.

168
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:44.720
Well, I mean breathalyzer right or a or a sobriety test.

169
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:50.320
They wiggle in a and they if they yeah, if

170
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:57.360
they don't wiggle in a straight line, then clearly they're drunk.

171
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.360
And what do you dausaman.

172
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.200
Beer see that this is these are these?

173
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.000
Are there? These are the.

174
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.399
Oh that's really important because they may have a higher

175
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:22.120
tolerance absolutely than like an earthworm variables.

176
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.000

amount of money when you lease. And when you leased

188
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.000
from fair Lease, you get some outstanding customer service. Some

189
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.120
of the great staff there at Fairlea's, including a Treehouse

190
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.240
listener Leo Heleo can take great care of you. And

191
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.039
if you've leased in the past, were you able to

192
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.240
do it completely remotely where you didn't go to a

193
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.360
dealership to do it. You can do that with fair Lease,

194
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.360
which will save you a ton of time. Go to

195
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.600
Fairleas dot org. You can correspond with Leo or one

196
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.759
of the other fine fine fine leasing consultants at Fairleas

197
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.320
via email, or you can talk on the phone whatever,

198
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.039
and they'll do what works for you and you never

199
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.639
have to go to the dealership, never have to even

200
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.840
go to the office. They'll do everything remotely and they'll

201
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.320
bring stuff to you, saving you a ton of time,

202
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.639
which is massive these days. Time is very valuable to

203
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.519
all of us. Fairleast knows that, so they want to

204
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.960
make sure they work around your schedule and work works

205
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.159
best for you. And then of course saving a bunch

206
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.000
of money when you're getting a new vehicle. Leasing is

207
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.679
more cost effective than buying a vehicle because when you lease,

208
00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.840
you're only leasing the portion of the vehicle for when

209
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:01.840
you have it, whereas when you're buying it, you're buying

210
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.159
the whole thing the whole time, and unless you're driving

211
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.399
that vehicle into the dirt. Then leasing is the right

212
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.159
option for you again not only for saving time but

213
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.399
also for saving money. And you might even be able

214
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.159
to take advantage of no money down and no payments

215
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.200

Friday and then you go to the fair the next day,

245
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:04.759
because I think that's what we're all going to do

246
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.840
that weekend. So that'll be really really fun. Also really

247
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.440
really fun inside the Treehouse or a couple of animal

248
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.759
related stories, and there's always always fun to be had

249
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:27.320
when animals are involved inside the Treehouse. And I'm also

250
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.559
a really big fan of a bait and switch or

251
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.759
a head fake or a fake out or a psych

252
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.039
type of a thing, and especially when it comes to

253
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.320
news stories like this one, the headline is just beautiful

254
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.080
on its own. An Indiana medical call turned into a

255
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.200
monkey rescue. I mean, I mean, is there is there

256
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:53.840
a better treos headline than that? So in Indiana, emergency

257
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.360
responders experience a first when a medical call ended with

258
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.279
firefighters rescuing a monkey that got and scale the building.

259
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.519
The Loose fire Territory set in a Facebook post that

260
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:10.680
firefighters responded alongside Spencer County, Spencer County EMS, and the

261
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.319
Spencer County Sheriff's Office to a call for medical assistance

262
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.559
and then we're confronted with a first for all three departments.

263
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.359
The post said, Responders tending to the patient learned their

264
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.599
monkey had gotten loose and scaled the building and could

265
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.160
not get down on its own. So it's not that

266
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.160
there wasn't a medical issue at all and it was

267
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.000
like a monkey, you know, prank calling nine to one one.

268
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.960
That was not the case. There was apparently an actual

269
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.480
medical issue and when they got there, they're tending to

270
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.839
the patient and realized, oh my god, their helper monkey

271
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.640
is running around on the roof and tray. Did you

272
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.119
notice in their Facebook post that the monkeys were in

273
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:47.599
a diaper.

274
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:50.640
I don't think I saw that.

275
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.640
Well, I'll be happy to show that to you. In

276
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.319
their Facebook post, they said that they showed up trying

277
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.279
to render aid to the medical emergency and learned that

278
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.200
the patient's munkey had gotten loose. Firefighters weren't able to

279
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.119
safely bring the monkey down and was cared for by

280
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.279
deputies while EMS tended to its owner. All in that suite,

281
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.519
and you said, I think, as you said yesterday that

282
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.240
you watched Friends, so you know what Marcel the monkey

283
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.920
looked like when Ross had Marcel. Right, this is like

284
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.279
a Marcel type monkey running around on the roof of

285
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:25.720
this building. And it's even if you look closely, you

286
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:32.119
can even see it's a little diaper here. Hang on,

287
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.359
didn't it bother?

288
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:39.720
Yeah?

289
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:46.359
Him monkey?

290
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:47.359
Hey, Bob.

291
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.920
You know firefighters, first responders, police EMS all. God bless

292
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.839
the work that you guys do. And and you're play

293
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:10.799
by play when rescuing people and their helper monkeys high monkey.

294
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.119
So yeah, in that in that video you could see

295
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.799
the monkey on the on the roof of the building.

296
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.000
It's got its little diaper on and it's probably really

297
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.759
worried about its owner. Who's going through medical emergency, and

298
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.440
it's also got its leash on, so it got away.

299
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.880
Because I'm guessing what happened is that whatever medical issue,

300
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.720
the owner had let go of the leash and the

301
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.319
monkey's like, well, I got to go to high ground.

302
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.640
Yeah, I guess the monkey went up and had never

303
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.000
had in practice coming back down.

304
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.960
Although I'm very glad to know that when it got

305
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.200
up there, it's not like it was throwing its poop

306
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.839
at the you know, firefighters or the deputies when they

307
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.279
showed up, because it still had its diaper on. So yeah,

308
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.640
it looked first responder worker is hard enough. You don't

309
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.519
need monkeys throwing their you know, their crap at you.

310
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.359
What does it take to get a helper monkey? That's

311
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:05.039
it's a great question. I went to a Seattle Mariners

312
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:09.480
game the other day. My old apprentice, like some sort

313
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:14.480
of Sith lord or Jedi, Tye. Tye was kind of

314
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.960
attached to the show for a little while. He was

315
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.000
doing a school project and so we had him, you know,

316
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.400
on the show for a while, and he since moved

317
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.359
up to Seattle, and Tara and I met up with

318
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.720
him and his boyfriend at a Seattle Mariners game against

319
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.640
the Rangers, which, by the way, the Rangers won one

320
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.920
of the few, say, one of the few games they

321
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.319
won this year. They weren't terrible, terrible, but they were bad,

322
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.519
but they won that game. But he told me that

323
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:42.359
the Mariners left fielder has a monkey, so he's playing.

324
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:46.079
Not while he was playing, it wasn't. Speaking of friends,

325
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.960
it wasn't the the Baseball Classic starring Matt LeBlanc ed,

326
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.799
wasn't It wasn't it the chimpanzee playing third base or

327
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.960
something in that movie? I think, so, man, you really

328
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.440
think you on Friends and you don't have to take

329
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.480
the first movie role that comes along, Matt LeBlanc, don't

330
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.480
don't go straight to the monkey movies, as tempting as

331
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.240
they might be. I hope he got paid more than

332
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.880
the Monkey did.

333
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.440
I mean, it made enough off Friends. That doesn't matter.

334
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.200
It doesn't matter. But I'm sure he looks back on

335
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.720
his career and thinks, man, I shouldn't have made that one.

336
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.160
But very happy to know that the monkey is okay.

337
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.720
I think the the owner that was undergoing the medical

338
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:35.920
emergency is also okay.

339
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.480
So it's a happy story.

340
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.079
It's a that is a happy story. And speaking of

341
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.519
happy stories and animals, there's another one inside the treehouse

342
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:52.200
that we need to cover, and that is Splash. Splash

343
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.319
is an Arizona otter being trained to sniff out evidence

344
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.720
and victims underwater, and he's already helping to solve crimes.

345
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.119
Did not know that otters are believed to be the

346
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:09.519
only mammals that can detect sense underwater, and because of that,

347
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.039
Arizona police help are training the otter to help them

348
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:20.400
in their duties. Now we know that dogs are often

349
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.599
used to help in search and rescue missions. Their noses

350
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:24.640
can pick up a human scent from as far away

351
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.839
as a half mile, sometimes even more, And one Arizona

352
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.880
otter is now being trained to sniff out evidence and

353
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.799
victims in underwater settings. How is it possible Otters are

354
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.079
believed to be the only mammals that can smell underwater.

355
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.319
Not only is it possible, but it's working. Splash is

356
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.839
an otter born in Arizona that was recently donated to

357
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.920
Peace River Search and Rescue in Florida. He's still being trained,

358
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:55.240
but he's already helping solve crimes while at an active scene. Recently,

359
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.079
they put Splash in the water to hell. He sniffed

360
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.319
out the scent and went down to it through a marker,

361
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.240
and the diver went in and there it was. I

362
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.839
actually don't know what there it was is, but they

363
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.599
actually said, here we have If a body gets into

364
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:17.640
a canal or a river and an alligator gets in

365
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.240
them before we do, it's a reality of Florida. The

366
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.359
gator will take the remains and stuff that's somewhere. It

367
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:24.680
makes it very difficult to find. The dogs get us

368
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:26.519
into the area, but they can't get us from the

369
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:28.960
boat to the bottom. That's according to Mike Hadsel, a

370
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.640
veteran search and rescue diver and president of Peace River

371
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.720
Search and Rescue. He said, the otters get us from

372
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.079
the boat to the bottom to show us exactly where

373
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.759
the remains are located. So that's what they found. The

374
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.400
otter can up and find the remains that Florida gators

375
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.440
hide to save for later, which is both terrifying and

376
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:49.359
disgusting and well a reality of living in Florida.

377
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.880
I've it's cool. I mean, I can't teaching my dog

378
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.440
to sit.

379
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.319
But I think that's your fault, daisies. Oh yeah, absolutely,

380
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.799
that just shows a lack of commitment on your part.

381
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.799
But I think I think this is fantastic. I love

382
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:13.240
the idea of a police order. His name is Splash,

383
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.279
an Arizona otter being trained to sniff out evidence and

384
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:23.319
victims underwater and is already helping to solve crimes. Look,

385
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.720
I know we already have a number of you know,

386
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:31.440
police dramas on TV, including a ton from Dick Wolf,

387
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:36.240
but I think I would watch Knew this fall on

388
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.119
NBC Law and Otter.

389
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.319
Mhm hm get it?

390
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.039
Oh yeah, I got it, Law and Otter.

391
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:01.519
I'm gonna take you to be proud of yourself for

392
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:01.839
that one.

393
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.559
I am.
