Listening to carmody central.

You were the only turkey plays the name. Russia is rejecting high and dry occur daily show where we ve got a pet shop where you today, the nation of turkey is tired of your jokes. Cnn has done with breaking news and vladimir Putin blesses the grains Down in africa,

but even mean or stay tuned to find out? Plus we ve got author elliot schaefer on the show to tell us about gay animals yeah. I said that so that, through this people, straight into today's headlines. Ok, I will first story is all about language, but when I say the word turkey, what do you think of probably a big bird? The people eat, while arguing with their family about with on our agenda the spectrum rights. Yet What the country of turkey knows? That's what you think about when you hear their name and this sick of that shit. If turkey is ready to change its name, officials have notified the united nations asking that the country be referred to as turkey a the way expelled and pronounced in turkey

It's a way to disassociate it's name from the bird and negative connotations that sometimes come with it. The official request follows the release of an ad campaign promoting the new name: hey mom, I just landed in turkey or yeah hello. Do you like this like this, and I am willing, I'm willing to start. In turkey. I don't mind, but I refuse to use those little dots over the you and this has nothing to do with turkey and everything to do with drawing a line for many keyboards, I'm willing to have on my phone forty three keyboards deep of getting mogi keyboards. I've got my give keyboard, then my symbols keyboard. Then a secret symbols keyboard behind that keyboard not going to add another keyboard shortcuts for you. What does that make it look like it's staring at me is too much too much turkey, a

I know what some of you are saying right now: you're, like oh travel, you don't need another keyboard, you can just hold down the UK yeah, but it's about the extra effort to use your thumbs to. If you're going to bulk up I'm trying to get mine long and slender for the summer baby writes so I'll, say turkey a but you gotta help me help you and not the! U. and dots turkey all right, because now I get why turkey's doing this I get it's a country's name. Is it's brand? Nobody wants their brand associated with an animal that people. Don't even like that much I mean if you're going to get mistaken for a bird at least it'll be a bird with some flavor. Some juice you know like. If their country was named spicy chicken sandwich, they wouldn't be changing anything I will say turkish. You just know this, though, just because they got the un to agree on. This doesn't mean that people are actually going to start calling them. Turkey, as it's not that easy trust me, I know this back in middle school. try to get everyone to call me travolta and they just laughing.

As did now said, it was a stupid name which I guess in retrospect it kind of. Was you know unless you guys like it? No okay, you find trouble the trouble the noise stupid. Forget it. Let's move on I want to say it was called no okay, and I just thought I heard someone said it is a cool because it could know all right still. No, I actually think this is a good idea. You know what a lot of countries should be updating their names, yeah that gets updated to make it modern, like this. Isn't the united states of america? Let's be honest, it's more like the states that barely put up with each other of america every country, greece makes it sound messy, but it's not hungary. What if they ve eating their major, why you need change their names to be safe to change that needs to be safe? You right now been losing a ton of white people.

Tourism, because there's a lot of white people are too nervous to type that into expedia. Just like I'm heading to and I gee I'm just going to paris, I was going to go to paris. I was going to paris. Don't want any trouble here, the well! Let's move on to some other international news, because while turkey is changing it's name, russia has spent the past three months, trying to change Ukraine's into russia junior. But ukraine isn't the only countries suffering from russia's invasion. Yet what many people might not know is that ukraine is one of the world's top producers of grain, but as part of its invasion, russia is blocking ukraine's ports and intercepting the green. So now the world is facing a green watch which russia is taking advantage of, the? U S is given out about fourteen countries, a heads up about stolen.

ukrainian grain, u s official said that russia stole grain from ukraine and alerted these other countries, mainly in africa, that russia will I'm only sell it policy. Experts say faced starvation most countries in the area likely won't hesitate to buy from russia. The director of one african think tank told the new york times quote. This is a dilemma: africans don't care where they get their food from If someone is going to moralize about that they are mistaken? ok, ok, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa! I get what you're saying, but africans don't care where they get their food from come on, can put it like that? Yes, some parts of africa suffering from famine and their leaders can't afford to take the moral high ground because they need the food, but much as africans don't care where they get their food

from it, makes it sound like us. Africans were just running around on the sidewalk grabbing people's brunches out of their place. Just like ha, you did not got your brewers, it's mine now and by the way, just in case Wandering africans are going to use the grain to make like bread and shit. Okay, stories always always make it sound. Like africans are going to eat the grain right out of the sack make it sound like that with us. This is the guy we love. These are putting green in my mouth. I know that's what you guys were picturing in your heads. I know it. I said we need grain and you guys willing, I guess, to eat grain. I guess that's what they do. We cook situation is really messed up. Not only is russia stealing ukraine's grain that causing a food shortage in the rest of the world and then they're going to sell the grain to make up for the shortage that they're causing, and can we just take a moment to acknowledge how humiliating this is for russia when they started this invasion? Putin?

our glorious army will conquer ukraine, ukraine, the new russian empire and now he's just like okay

it'd be licious, love this bitch, okay, with just the way you went from being all high and mighty, and now the dudes basically on the corner in africa. Like you got, you want grin a grin. You want green. I got grin, also good roll lexical girl, just the good stuff, just the good stuff. You want great, the let's move on from the war in ukraine to the war zone, that is america. Ever since the uvalde school shooting congress has been working hard to craft, sensible gun safety measures that can be narrowly defeated at the last minutes, but a lot of people are trying to make this time different. I mean yesterday, matthew, mcconaughey, who's from uvalde was at the white house pushing for reforms. Unfortunately, though, nobody really expects lots of change. Now. That's where there is an upside to living in the states that barely put up with each other of america- and that is

Individual states can break off and pass their own gun laws, which is exactly what's happening right here in new york. May, our bolstered. It's already tough gun law, some of the strictest in the nation, governor hopeful, sign a package of gun reform bills yesterday now, among them, a measure that bans the sale of semi automatic rifle to any body under twenty one. Now buyers are also required to obtain a permanent, also red flag laws or expanding body. Armor first civilians is outlawed and am all for semi automatic hand. Guns is required to be micro, stamped, to make it easier to trace hopeful celebrated the new laws in the bronx. It just keeps happening shots ring out flight. come down and Nothing ever changes, here in new york,

This is so weird a mass shooting happened, and then politicians did something. I didn't even know that that was possible. Like I showed up to mcdonald's and the Macsharry machine is working. I don't even how to react to this due to our clap. Am I supposed to tip what's a good tip for passing gun or ten percents, I'm sure it's ten percent. You know what this feels like this feels like when you're ready Argue with your partner and before you can say anything they just apologize now you gotta full of screams and nothing to do with it.

Hu, I reject your qualities of you. Do a new york made a lot of changes, for instance its raising the minimum age on semi automatic rifles, which seems by common sense to me, although in my opinion, instead of twenty one I feel like it should be twenty one in four days x. I want someone buying a gun on the same night that this slamming ten shots of yegg just spread it out. You know me- It's going to be banning body. Armor- and that makes sense, in fact this is the first state in the country to do it, which is a great idea. In fact, they should also ban

under armour, while the adage- it's not about the shootings, I'm just tired of seeing people's nipples on the train. You know I get it, you work out the and I know I know some people are saying, but wait, I'm not a shooter. I just want body armor for my protection. Don't worry, you don't need body armor if you're not doing anything nefarious, you don't need body armor, yeah, there's something I've learned from american movies is that you just need to keep precious family when your body of stops any bullets many times. But thank god, my mom's bite. stop the bullet. Thank goodness my grandpas pocket words save me. So I gotta carry grandma's cherries dildo with me. All the time save my life was again and there you grandma. Thank you. So much

I must admit that silken for a second I. Finally, let's move onto us worry about c n n, which stands for cable news ninjas anyway, for years, CNN has been notorious for over hyping. Every story like it's in the zombie a pocket It was like breaking news. The midterm elections are now six months away and not surprisingly, this approach has started to backfire, as viewers have learned to tune it out. You know like the boy who cried wolf or in this case the wolf who cried wolf. because of that, because of that cnn is making a big change restore here with breaking news about breaking news invalid, cnn

because a new boss, any says cnn, is now cutting back on over hyping. Everything is quote breaking news so much so that, since it is actually added a breaking news guideline to its style book, so you'll soon see a lot less. That breaking news banner at the bottom of the tv screen. Yes, CNN is cutting back on the over use of breaking news and to celebrate it immediately put up a countdown clock to the moment. little efficiently reduce the amounts are breaking new, very exciting one thing at a time, but because the truth is truth is most stories on giant news in that way, I'm glad they doing this great job. Chris Nick there's only been like three breaking news stories of the past two decades, let's be honest, like nine eleven corona virus and that time that guy put salt on his food but from up here, most people put the salt from Mcdowell

yeah, but he did it from up here. You do change. The game is a technique. It's a whole thing, another theatres, acknowledging this. Now that are acknowledging that not everything is breaking news, maybe just maybe all of cable news can acknowledge that. Maybe news doesn't need to be twenty four hours, maybe some necessary. You know. Maybe you can wait to get all the facts and tell us the correct story. At the end of the Just me, how do you think about it think about it? Think about honestly, the first ten hours of any news story on cable news is just speculation. Breaking news. We're hearing that a tiger has escaped from the zoo and mauled ten people. sadly hold on hold on slight clarification. We're now

that the tiger was in the mall and the mall has ten t everybody is alive and all hold on our sources on the ground are telling us it's not a tiger its panda, express us. There is apparent to express in the mall we're gonna stay on top of this story for the next twenty four hours working news, he's a big even when there is news most of it. Isn't that exciting, just everyday stuff, that's boring, but important. The economy's up their economies down the government's doing something more likely not doing something so this is good and to lower expectations. Cnn is actually replacing breaking news with a new graphic for stories that are just normal stuff and we have an exclusive look:

at what that'll be the perfect. I think they did a great job the headlines before we go to a break, let's check in on the stock market, with our finance expert, Michael costa, everybody, the more importantly market, what what's happening in the market today, while I am crushing the I guess I mean I. I crush all markets, financial markets, whole foods market where, as you had to get a second job, but I have a hot tip, I'm going to share with you how tip I'm going to share a hot tip review so we'll get into the market action before we do that that story about the african nations buying the grain yeah. You know I mean I, why do we put this responsibility on them,

no we're there, grain comes from, I mean we don't even know where our food comes from. You know I probably enjoyed multiple abacha, those from the sinhala cartel. You know- and I I sleep fine at night, but I would say this to these efforts Canadians don't love this grain too much. This is white people, grain and you might develop a gluten intolerance, okay, but it's not going to kill you, but it's going to make you very annoying all right. The next thing you know you're going to be in tanzania doing yoga with Gwyneth paltrow, while vagina candle is lit in the back, so the market, the turkey, turkey, changing it's name. I love this. I love- is got me thinking. I feel like south africa should do this. When I do look part of what great about being a country in africa. Is you get to have this beautiful name: uganda, senegal, namibia, south!

For I mean what happened was that I have just one other, Your head driver what you're wearing Robert Europe run? Their yemen is not a guy named. I didn't name it, I'm just on other other people from south africa. Yet let's get to the market. This is u them so look. This is volatile. It's almost as volatile is a teenage michael gas that a three eleven concert, but when step. Back. Take a look at all of this. What do you see dominating? I see this green line dominating it's the least Oh it's all of everything here, which is why I advise you, the lie right your money. The green line second thing to think about. You see these squares right here and I have spent a lot of time. Analyzing the dimensions

feel the size of each square. Ok, now these squares, they don't mean anything Ok, last thing: you see all this red. Typically red is bad. add and finances, but Michael castor, financial experts will tell you when you have read like a stoplight, stop wait till it turns. Ok. So, in summary, awry green lines knows squares, red turns grain, but now here's my heart. this is my hot dip trevor uk invest in turkey, where we wait with turkey the food or took in the country where that is The million dollar question. Ok, I gotta go. I gotta go to hold votes for a shift. Stephen produce got covert, so

The danish american leads a leader who can bring the two sides together, but instead will have to settle for wood junior. and then you segment. We call disagree to disagree. America to divide republicans versus democrats, billionaires versus billions of the rest of us broke, bastards, kerins, verses, everybody! That's why? I'm reaching out to the other side to see it

I can't find common ground with people. I disagree with strongly, but this story I traveled to idaho or montana or wyoming somewhere with no black people to meet anti government extremists and big hat enthusiasts ammon Bundy and see if I could get him to disagree, doesn't if they call it republican or democrat it is to liberty, You must remember Bundy from a twenty fourteen stand off with the government overgrazing rings or from a stand up with. government at a major preserved between sixteen amman. Bundy who pointed guns at law enforcement in arizona now he's doing it in oregon or from its protests against state. restrictions in idaho. This do a lot of standards and now

a guy who spent two years in prison for fighting the federal government before getting out on the mistrial is running for good, of idaho governor? I will keep idaho idaho the hell. Does that mean besides grow and potatoes? I decided to talk to some of burundi supporters. Amman is definitely a threat to the old boy network, and I don't know why I dont need the government to tell me how to act so emmon bundy for less governor. Yes, our rights or come from the government, our rights come from god and certain people The book has to stop some kate, but you are blackened in idaho. How did it happen from a third generation? Ok Amman Bundy is willing to do what it takes to defend liberty, just like rosa parks did on the bus had to meet with. Just like me over

of sister, Rosa okay, so you've been called a militia leader. You have been called the T. Word: domestic domestic terrorists, you. How do you not come across as an anti government person who's now becoming part of the government? Well, I want people to use the land, as god intended and for the government just to leave them alone other than to protect them. You know like when you were a child, your daddy, be all in your business. Come your room. Go through your toys. That's that's! Government! Now! What we really want is a step daddy government that comes in and just goes, hey, don't kill each other I'll be outside drinking. Well yeah, unless one of them tries to infringe upon another person's right. Clearly, finding common ground would not be easy and sure enough Bundy and I disagreed on a range of issues from tax. I dont believe that property tax is a moral tax to the social side.

I never should I say, look John here is meaning help and I'm not a force with the barrel of a gun to give me a hundred fifty dollars. So I can be given to Joe It's immoral job and the definition of slavery and that pretty soon you end up with thirty percent of the people providing for the other. Seventy percent that slavery and that's all before we got to the king kong of divisive issues today, covert government will go as far as they the people allow them to go, which is all the way to genocide, explained jennifer. Let's look at the nineteen thirties. What was the nazis claiming? What was their excuse? There was a national health emergency that the Jews and the blacks that their genes were inferior that ultimately decided that they needed even put them to death. So like the weren't like jews and blacks dying in droves, before Hitler came in and did what he did, he chose to start doing it

Please look over. There was orders, but maybe we'll. How do we stop this? The apple or die said he's you you're, saying you believe the governor saying I you believe the reports has or so on austrian are so good. How do I get the information you get? You can get it. Why? Because any time people, though I had done the research they never say Where is everywhere and does not answer? When do I get my money? I mean not give it to you. If you want, I made you wanna, go right here on my phone I'd everybody dunder research, but then w w w, I hadn't even asked Bundy about his history bomb standoffs against the government. Well, so these accusations of me associating with violent groups never once have we ever done anything violent. You like a Andy of the rocky mountains I just can't get down with armed occupations, especially when they, in with death in prison,

while finding common ground was just too hard. But then Bundy surprised me. I was in prison for two years: federal prison, the wider, always over here and adaptable max guns in the native americans, everybody's states with their own cost, I know how you feel that way. Let's say I know I'm out playing basketball with black eyes and no problem right and the white guys might have a little bit of a problem with it. So I go back there and I talked to them say: hey, look, I'm sarah! This is the way I road runner race. but we're plan basketballs right and I really want to win now. The guards and the present gets all concern because the way they can keep us in the prison is keep us divided and that's. Happening in society, someone who also felt abused by the criminal justice system Bundy was either

supportive of a movement on the opposite side of the spectrum. You must have a problem in your mind if you think that somehow the black life matter is more dangerous than the police. This probably headed beef, sweating constitutional is, was siding with black lives matter and that the police. What I'm here is a brother who some of his views I don't want it with black lives matter. Well, I think they might light up with black people and I think they might line up with white people too, and I I guarantee that if I was to be able to communicate openly with majority of the people. Black lives matter that probably ninety five percent of of our beliefs would what align with each other, There are some common ground libya, is headed towards a civil look to americans. He vehemently disagree found a way to be civil.

This brief now, we'd all avoid on every other state, the sultan another job, something else the real. I look down The cowboy had we combat, avoiding any expression. warmer weather is here, and that means it's time to get back out on the water. They know me if you're on the lake or angling offshore.

Now, it's probably not something you'd write home about, but it's very handy to have like a spare key or spare sunglasses or any other kind of spare thing book with

bree cancellation for peace of mind, booking dot com, fucking dog Did you hear anything about you? I am so happy to be here. I am so happy to have you. This is one of the most one books I have ever read about science, about nature, about animals, about the human condition, let's jump straight into a queer ducks and other animals. This seems like a joke and the books very funny

which is great but you're, learning about a side of the animal kingdom that many people haven't talked about. So, let's start with the. Why? Why did you decide to write a book about queer ducks and other animals yeah? Fair enough? I was surprised by the topic too. I come from a background of studying evolution and I'd always assumed that that queer behavior was a sort of dead end for animals. Yes, behaviors that wouldn't cause their genes to propagate into the next generation, wouldn't spread, and yet nature did a study three years ago that put the Fifteen hundred species and counting that have significant peer researched, same sex, sexual behaviour in the wild, and so the question I was on my mind was why, right? Why is this happening in the basic? The story is that we got the story of animal sex wrong that we think of it as procreation. Only the human sure humans. We have a wide variety of reasons for having sums animals animals is dutifully like walk up to

hours arc in their male female pears and they have sex only to have offspring and right at the end of the story when there is actually wide range of animals with a different reasons for having thanks x, actual behaviors, given as I read through the book I mean my mind, was blown by some of the stories you are telling it, and I think that if we stop with it from from the angle of you know, with its governments, with its churches, with its just like society, think we don't want this out there. There were researchers would discovering this tool for decades and they had to hide that research because just people, didn't accept it. You know like what do you think has changed in academia. What do you think has changed in the world of science and in research where people are now willing to accept these things and put them out there yeah there's an a famous rich or ship researcher named Valeria Geist, who studied bighorn sheep in the nineteenth? is, and at that time he realized that ship basically live mostly homosexual society, so big cheaper and there's a male group and a female group, and for most of the year there is having sex within those groups.

and then they'll come together during the running season. Males and females we'll have sex, but you didn't published Finally, mr than I can sixties later in his memoirs. He couldn't conceive of these magnificent beasts as queers right. Ok, love this animal and didn't wanna properly. the story around the species that he loved and then years later in his memoirs, you know sort of came out about having hidden the same sex, sexual behaviour in shape and that's kind of story that goes from animal species to animals bs even in the eighteen, thirties, german entomologists we're discovering same sex sexual behaviour and caught for beetles.

Known as doodle bugs, and that was within the entomology circles, like anyone here knew their bugs was talking about it. Yes, but there are also accused of perversion and are having like an unnatural interest and bugs and then like hurrying like you, basically, by naming at a cocktail hour, you ve already got on fisheries, have happened, I'm just saying you know. You know what what makes this book fashion and the research behind the book, as well as the fact that for so long people would would use you know like the cudgel they would use against any member. Jpg view communities. They would say the same thing: they would go. It's not natural. You cannot be gay. It's not net Why wouldn't it be in nature, god didn't create the and then now the signs are that it is natural that ironies than you People now seeing that, but we're not animals were better than them we're different and and what?

do enjoying the book. Is this you really careful to not make it a blanket you're, not saying hey. We are the same as the animals. The animals are the same as us you're, just giving us an insight into a world that we didn't think existed. One of the more fascinating stories for it was the bottleneck dolphins. It feels like a very intentional world that they living in Do you know that the debt that you speak about tell me more about that? There is a lot of those dolphins are one of my early examples because they are the closest we come to. Three having a gay animal There are some bottlenecks dolphin males who only have sex with other males are only here for the males and not females. It already them are. I guess we would say, bisexual and like the the basically to spoiler is most animals are some version of bisexual and exclusive homosexual preference is very rare, but there are some dolphins that that behave. That way,

is. There is the logic behind it, because you know, as you should use, you study evolution. What why would they do? That do we have any idea, does do not just need a brick wall of all. They don't want to procreate anymore. Is it? Is it just because of pleasure? What is one of the reasons so without those dolphins, the male union is actually the only lasting union within their society. So females are come come together for a week or two and have sex fiend female will go and raise her calf by yourself or with other females, but the males bonded through having really frequent sex like about two point. Four times in our on average what what sex does is it produces oxytocin, which is known as the bonding hormone until it's? Why, when you first make out what someone when you're thirteen, if you like I go to spend my life for this person, this is using I love them given gone crazy. It's just oxytocin is flooding your system for the first time ever made up in Austria

yeah like waiting first time, taking advantage of this form this this intense lines, you dream that email dolphins, which gives them power within the dolphin society, oh wow are he's still a procreative sex with female dolphins, but they're so close together because of this oxytocin rush from all the frequent sex that they are like an intensely strong sexual friendship, so they found different reasons for this sex. It's almost more intentional. It's almost like that. That's sort of like you talk about with them is that the bonobo monkeys where they would use they, his orgies to like, let like just, I guess, for stress relief. There's like a really stressful day, everybody pretty much yeah yeah and the the most brutal

Such activity among bonobos is between females and this animal is tied with chimpanzees, our closest relative. The share ninety eight point: seven percent of their dna with us and the females will have sex with males they'll still have offspring, but they have really really frequent female female sex that produces this oxytocin rush and it product bridges as a feeling of peace bonding. So you know if they introduce a food source, the bonobos won't eat it right away. They'll have sex first, so everyone's feeling good with each other. Okay, when you think of it as like. This is our closest relative with the chimps, it's kind of a a model for how we might be I've. I've often thought that I've often thought if I have sex with

my friends before we eat people are less likely to fight over who pays the bill? How do you propose to me now that I have the research behind it before you? You go before you got you few? How do you have a really beautiful reason that goes beyond the research in writing? The book up a personal connection with it and with what's going on in america right now out I'd love to know how much of that inspired you to write the book. So when I was eleven, I realized I was gay and it was like a moment puberty hit

it was utterly clear. I just lingered over the fruit of the loom ads and my brother's rolling stone that I was like which, which one do I want to be my special friend, and it was just it was just who I was, but it's surreal if you're, not someone who lives this identity, it's surreal, because the day before it was not true and also now is gay in which this was in the early nineties, and it was everything I'd heard about.
