Stuff, you should know, is presented by Subaru and Subaru love promise a commitment made by Subaru and its retailers to do right by communities in which we all live in work, Subaru Partnership, leukemia lymphoma society to deliver. Messages of hope has spread to more than seven hundred hospitals, wide to learn more about how Subaru gives back visit. Subaru come slash. Love dash promise that as you be a r. U dont, come slash. Love dash promise from you buy the reinvented two thousand twelve Camry, it's ready for you, Welcome to stop. You should know how stuff works, In welcoming the Pakistan Josh Clark, there's Charles double check, Brian, and that makes this stuff you should know the big fully addition yeah. I'm can excited about this

we ve seen one of those before returning bisons by the way yeah. I thought you might bring their theories. We saw in it that animal reserve bear and vice fighting fizzle depressing picture, but they are supposedly rescued animals at this animal petting, zoo, wild game, petting, zoo and smart bison, because he had learned to go to the little shoot where you had put his food and wasn't doing something theories, manipulating it somehow sounds like it or is China manipulate us and giving them some food? I can't remember there's something if you evolves. Because I remember thinking like vices, a very manipulative animals jerks. Here I have a story for you to start as one if you like, and that sounds great shock. Have I ever told you about my one glorious football story.

I've heard little bits about your football experience. It you're a bigger kids. He played on the line and that's about all I remember a Kate. Well as a child, I went to Beverly Elementary School and I played football for them in the way. In toledo- was you would play your elementary school at a team when at the middle school interest witnessed could play your last year of Elementary School six graven, but then you can keep playing through seventh and eighth grade by it. For your elementary school was weird, but so I played for Beverly Elementary, which meant I was better Bison a high- and I was probably the kid on the team that most resembled a bicycle. There was a pretty big that kid. And I was alignment and I sucked about, because no one ever explain any strategy to me. I wasn't until college he added. I understood that football even had strategy on technique yeah. I thought it was just like work that guy right right,

So I can teach you to swim, move nothing. They taught me nothing. It was literally like to stand there and don't let that guy through that's what I was taught that's about failed by all coaches rapid anyway, I did have one shining moment right. I was a great as third string we're playing the the coptic murmur what school, but they were the worst team. And that we were the game in hand and the courts are all like just three and a half foot tall little pints eyes So we have the game in hand, is late in the game and they put me in as a defensive linemen right the biggest gown, the tv or third string? I'm at this point, the biggest guy on the field, the yes, I was thirty oleanders at an eighth greater to write so They at this point, the biggest guy in the field in, and they put me in- and I am, unlike I pointed quarterback online- when you re pretty

I sought me right. They quarterback hikes the bar his he's appropriately nervous. I'm staring, as you know, like you, I'm gonna get you in one way or the other. This is like my last chance right. These two guys commitments to offensive Lyman. I describe both of the back to their home and just push him down. I write underneath the go right through Aviano that I get through this. Could you like me? We should put this kid in earlier in the season anyway, I am. I put I just get through both of the guys who her army has caught the Mau Howard. I go is as it's what I do I go right to the quarterback. Didn't tat club, I picked him up and threw him down I didn't even like stagger. I just pick up existed up and through, and I turn I would like here. You know what I didn't know. I caused a formal and one of our guys picture rain. It infra touched I didn't find out until every year the play with so your line. She the day was once one play:

one SEC, one forced fumble, yet that's blossoms and touched on is the result of the formal great. So there was big story as Beverly Bison, and that is the info. I guess you could say to this. What happened? Bring the bisons back from the verge of extinction. I think that might have helped because I think it'd take. Perhaps I've always had an infinity affinity for bisons ever since playing for the Beverly Bisons, but I think we should probably still Chuck what with some people might be like I've heard of Buffalo Brown Oda Bison is well. If you ve heard of, A buffalo and you're in American you ve, heard of vice impel your confused. That's right, here in the states, thereby send technically they're pretty interchangeably I'm a buffalo, but technically a buffalo is a cape buff.

Or water Buffalo in their native to Africa and Asia, the bisons native to hear the United States North America typically specific. And the word buffalo comes from the french seven. Century explorers encounter these things and said: let both with beef means oxen or beads whatever Eve Beadsthey AV ass. If I had about beavis and then the english folks arrive later and change it to LA buff and then Buffle than Butler them by Theo, and eventually they settled on Buffalo. Thoughts were right. Now we're right now, but so they're, both members of the bogey day, family, yes, and their very much related, but yet

one lives in Asia and Africa, one lives in North America and we ve got two types of Buffalo Bison, I'm sorry. In North America we ve got the wood basin, which is smaller the two now and then the planes bison, which is the big, the big daddy. Yeah, but you know, if you ve ever seen one of the big hump. That's the way the wood bison, the planes bison has the flat back a more distinctive cape and more will develop beard and throat mean is that rights over one of the big hampers the wood bison here, because the hump from ground hump can get up the like six feet, tall huge livestock numbers. First, like sheer numbers- and thousand seven they did a bison, Sensus and, the number on private ranches hundred ninety thousand to thirty four that is, definitely more than it was a century earlier here

about two hundred twenty thousand in Canada and about twenty thousand. Of these bison in the United States and Canada are roaming free on public land, in close to a half a million total heard and North America today. But at one point the chuck in about nineteen hundred nineteen o eight there were maybe in all of North America. Five hundred of these things, five hundred and those five hundred were federally protected on federally protected land. Prior to that say, I think it was eighteen. Ninety seven in lost part Colorado, poacher he'll Ford, bison and those for represented the last unprotected free roaming by and heard in the in North America, while

thus ended what was called the great slaughter which will get to second, both going further back to really get to the young. The point about how few five hundred bison is in, like say, eighty nine, seven nineteen hundred. Yet you have to understand how many there were in say seventeen hundred I seen estimates as high sixty million that far back oh yeah, two on this pal, I saw it men as high as a hundred million really yeah she's we, the accepted number, was proposed by a guy named Shepherd crush the third he's, an anthropologist from Brown University Ninety nine. He came up with an estimate of thirty million and, if you're an anthropologist,

or a wildlife biologist or just a bison enthusiast, you're, probably gonna go with thirty million at any. Given time there were thirty million pre european settlement. There are thirty million bison roaming North America at any given time or they would the largest large mammal in the United States. America, the largest yeah obliged at one point, but there also the largest physically thereabout, two thousand pounds, every mail is about two thousand pounds and quick to they. Can two like thirty five miles an hour, two thousand pounds, thirty five miles an hour, and there are thirty million of these things running around that's a ton. That's that's a lot of them laugh at four point: thirty million tonnes get Banda. They obviously made there most abundantly in in the great plains, because it was lots of great virgin land that was packed with Sir

Vitamins and minerals which allowed it to grow back really fast after was eaten yet from Canada, Northern Mexico, yeah tons and tons of Buffalo. So there's something in it: If you read fourteen ninety one that pops up towards the end of the book, I know I can go back to this but I love it, it is really where it's a consistent thread there were there there's this whole idea that what the settlers out West or on the plains, encountered and took to be like a wild state like than now Troll wild state of tens of millions of Buffalo running everywhere was actually a freak of nature. Right that you have. APEX, predator, in any ecosystem, and if you remove the apex, After all, the other, all the other species are allowed to just boom writer in on the great plains. Apex predator was man,

human in the form of native Americans who were removed from the ecosystem and without the native Americans. They effectively manage the herd populations and the prairie lands. Buffaloes were alive. Explode, unnatural population numbers, so there's The idea that what we took in still to this day consider was natural population, Thirty million was actually far far less than that prior to the colombian exchange really very interesting in, either way there probably about thirty million buffalo roaming, the great planes in say seventeen hundred that number dry, dramatically starting about eighteen, twenty right yeah with great Slaughter Pre, what we get to the horse pre horse dating back to prehistoric,

I'm there was what was known as Buffalo jumps. Did you see this so Buffalo jobs are were. When they with native Americans, would heard Buffalo down these narrow shoots in run them off. A cliff like lemmings, like Linux, break their legs. I mean not such a cliff that it would do not destroy the animal completely. It would just break their legs, so they could move and then they would mean other guys, waiting down their spears and stuff and clubs to kill them, and it was sort of like the first factory farms. Where they really get large abundance over and over abundance of Buffalo meat in pelts and other stuff they use and not there today in Canada, world heritage site called head smashed in Buffalo jump. Norway, and it is one of these All this and largest and best preserved Buffalo jumps known to exist today and forget the website,

It has a little animation of Buffalo like lemmings, like meaning and then falling off a cliff over and over and over right, and I should also insert here that check- and I are both fully aware that lemmings, don't naturally run over the cliff that there was actually produce visit that Walt Disney. Thank you, documentary that created that myth Andrews we're lemmings over the cliff, the true God he said actually heard about totally. So at any rate, they were Buffalo jobs. That was a good awaited, get lots and lots of Buffalo dead quickly, and if you live in Albert, even go see the head smashed in Buffalo Jump for a mere ten dollars for an adult. Not only if you live there, if you're visiting their you could do it too. That's right, but the native American. Had I mean another white man is blamed for it. They largely our response. For the mass slaughter, but Comanche. Anyone in the eighteen, thirty were killing close to three hundred thousand bison a year,

which was not a sustainable number viola. Actually very hot topic. You know, there's the idea that the native Americans or the noble savage and then also evidence that they're not that they weren't there was a thing called bison overkill. They also believed that that's what happened to the Mastodon in the Sabre to Tiger and that they were basically hunted to extinction by, like the Clovis people and they cloves people in turn became extinct as well like a highly debatable topic around over exactly what happened. But if that's true, that means that bison have always been over hunted, because if the Comanche were doing that and apparently take sixty seven bison to treating tooth for a person to subsist a year, six bison per person per year

yeah, but that without agriculture, let's just living on bison patching here your store, production and lighting up by some breakfast bison aims by its in Bergen Here- and I would imagine your sweats nothing. Vinegar can only be a high protein low, carb diet. Here, you sweat, vinegar, its gross it. It is believe me, the railroad industry was also a great threat to the bison, because the bison, where a threat to the railroad industry yeah, you know the one that were well there's a guy named Frank row who were who wrote a book and ninety day to call the North American Buffalo and he cites a train that was headed west in eighteen. Fifty that had to wait for three days for a herd of bison across the track near the wedding. For them. They weren't necessarily slow moving. There's just that many bison here hello. Stuff. You should know listeners. Do you want a new year's resolution? That's easy to keep yes resolve to help

protect your identity and personal info with lifelike identity theft, protection, lifelong alert, you to potential threats your identity and they see more than what you can see by just monitoring your own credit. Like your info on the door, web and that's a big deal yeah, and if you have a problem, lifelong, U S based restoration, specialist snow, the steps it take to help resolve your case There are only one in five identity theft. Victims who had accounts open in their names discovered their theft through bank or credit card company and course. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all business this, but lifelike the new year's resolution does not. Easy to keep. It will help you protect what you ve worked so hard for get lifelike for up to twenty five percent off your first year, gonna lifelike, dotcom, slash stuff! That's why flocked outcomes less stuff for

the twenty five percent off so yeah? We reach the point now where the the white man has entered the picture. The winches. Fifty caliber rifle, is under the picture in the horses enter the picture. So all of these factors that would lead to the near extinction of bison have all come together in converged on the great plains and they are about to unleash wholly hell on the bison population. The great slaughter I so do like. Have you heard about the great slaughter? Do you know something I know that they could have been potentially killing like two hundred thousand buffalo per day. At one point, they had contests chuck their buffalo killing contests the railroads like you said to get rid of this. By some problem here. They they also figured out how to make money by hosting hunting expedition. Where you never left. The train is a train strive slowly, nude shoot. That's again

It's also a dead man. Oh yeah, there was real They had bison killing contest. There's a man who holds the record in eighteen. Seventy Buffalo bill note he had Buffalo Bilby named Thomas see Mixon of Kansas, set the record in eighteen, seventy killing, one hundred and twenty bison and forty minutes Buffalo Bill supposedly killed. Many many thousands himself news hired to do that and hides we're going for two dollars ahead in the winter of eighteen. Seventy two seventy three to the winner point five million buffalo hides bison hides were shipped back east by train. Why do One point that they said that the big hunters were using two guns because shooting them so fast. They had a letter gun cool down here, and so they just picked up the fresh gun. They wouldn't have to stop killing you at first like they were shooting for me and then Buffalo hide Bison hiding

all the rage. Yes, you're, not back east, but in Europe Well demand increases their like our wallets woods, the meat there? We don't need the many millions of these. Things is rotting carcasses everywhere here and as if this couldn't get worse as if it couldn't get worse, the poor by some population, possibly if there was bison overkill, their apex predators, remove their allowed to bloom and then a new, even more damaging apex predator comes in certain killing in discussion. They like they ve, never seen before the the reasons why they have bison killing conscious was not just for the railroad, but it was because the federal government in white and general figured out the planes Indians. Listed bison, take away the bison, take away this food supply civilized the Indian So that was one reason why bisons were hunted to near extinction with so such glee

can't do it was serving a larger purpose of bringing Indians into the fold as well. This is a way to tame the west or remaining from the fourth starving up near while so again we get down to what five hundred bison that are finally protected and starting in what light nineteen six? Who, who is responsible for this nineteen o five or the environment, he might have heard of by the name of Teddy Roosevelt and Hornaday, who was a zoologists poet? Can control? this songwriter realtor, evidently, by those odd that is you gonna make money. So how is it so you? He was a really top notch conservationists but we want a day and Teddy Roosevelt form the american bison society. Nineteen o five, his error, like laid a minute. These things are member. Buffalo these to be out there that aren't there anymore, like this- might be a problem

What are we going to? Hunt to send them plus and entered the Bronx in New York City. The great plains of the Bronx definitely got him out of the hands of poachers and getting aside the Bronx. It was a great place for them to send some species for reproducing and Yellowstone National Park was established as it is preserved and the new Yorkers scatters there basing it on yourself, nickel, ahead boy, not a buffalo nickel They also the nineteen o eight created the federal government, greeted the national bison Range in Montana, but these weren't the efforts. Ultimately did a lot to increase the number. No because you what, although they were protected in Congress, actually did pass an act, the federal part, protective act. I believe that said, if you post, Buffalo you're in big trouble, meant

if they were never listed as a endangered. He, I wonder, I couldn't get a reason there, so I either, but they were, they were clearly close to being in danger, but they were never listened to. They didn't enjoy the full protection here, so it rose he had a pretty good effort by establishing the part service. Yellowstone had a princess, protected heard. You in the Bronx, you heard him in Oklahoma. You had a man in South Dakota, but none of these like said led to the real resurgence, the the the resurgence in the basin population in North Amerika. What did, though, chuck well, maybe we should talk about well, yeah sure what did private landowners TED turn ahead? Friggin turner yeah. He was the one responsible for bringing the bite the bison back from near extinction. He's one of my heroes just give a few Turner stats here, sure the second largest private land owner in North America, yeah he's got

about two million acres of ranch land and dean ranches in seven states that are all bison ranches active working, bison ranges. And I believe he manages about fifty thousand head of bison himself himself a hand and so well are you Jane helped out? While there were two yes, he opened his I'm sorry. He purchased is first bison and seventy six and openness worth bison ranch in nineteen. Eighty seven, which makes me wonder where did you keep that bison for eleven years? Did he take it everywhere with them in the bank cedar? He had plenty of land. There was no shortage of space for that one bison, ok, but I think he to answer question. He kept it at his mansion and bucket If you want to learn more about TAT Turner's, he has many ongoing projects to save the species. You gotTa W W W Don T s F, DOT, Org

and I guess I mean a lot of this- is obviously for for raising bison to sell to stock his TED's Montana girls with fresh bison stakes in burgers, but it still helps the conservation does it mean whether their free roaming or commercially raised. You are just looking at the hard numbers of by some populations, the, U S there not endangered anymore and its because they're so delicious that there is that's the reason why there, nine days, go out and one of the cool things about the bison is its across the board. The National Bison Association prohibits the use of sub. There appeared at any box growth hormones in animal by products, so it's not like one cow forms as we shouldn't inject them a hormone? That's all all bison. Yet in the? U S and they are very nutritional compared to cow beef. They don't need

handle much they almost exclusively dine on grass and if its fit some unmanaged grass roots, organics fully organic. Yes, absolutely sudden nutrients, the proportions of protein fat and minerals in fatty acids to its caloric value, are outstanding, severe digress, beef, I'm sorry just beef period and large concentrations of iron and a lot of essential fatty acid. So people are up with by their eating it alot more over the past decade, the numbers of really risen dramatically. You eat it, yeah I've had it gets done I've had it by some were gone. I didn't you know of it. Bison stake at TED Montenegro, which I should say, full disclosure we own nostoc whatsoever and other written there. Oh you should it's called gather like that. The interior, the cores like her. Turn of the last century. Like Kansas, restaurant. Yes, I recall I like the tin pan

Ceiling of any other bison state is very good. Now, can you tell a big tastes? Different yeah really talk is I've had the Berger and I can tell a huge difference: you're still guy you like, I'm sure you ve immediately. You can look at it until a difference, but the tasty can tell the difference as well to administer this like this, I'm eating cat needing stake, but I mean, if you can tell a difference. I want yes, your cadis gamey here so Chuck. Also, we should say it's not just head Turner who single handedly no Saving need Bison herd has now is what four hundred thousand commercial vice and living in the? U S right now, yet more! That's just the: U S alone, Turner's got fifty thousand. It is pretty substantial portion, the academy Therefore there is a group of eleven tribes. Together in ninety ninety, to form the intertribal bison Cooperative, not sorry, fifty seven tribes that manage fifteen thousand heads of basing collectively

and one of the things that, if you are, if you manage a herd of bison whether for conservation or for deliciousness you who are going to run into something called Bruce allowances, which is not good. Now it's bacteria and it's called can by another name, for it is contagious abortion, that's two great words to pare together so basically resources as a back to you that you can that ruminating animals, which is grazing animals here, they they can pick up pretty easily through the mouth. The bacteria collects in the reproductive organs are, if you are, if you have milk a year again, a past bad milk, right, you're, pregnant you're, going to abort your foetus, and if you like this genital area,

you just contracted it. If you eat tainted Meet Tina Buffalo as a human. Yes, you can catch it as well, and you get terrible terrible, flew like symptoms, but if you're bison or reindeer something like that, you are in grave danger if you have, this bacteria can kill you pretty easy well and is certainly one of the big reasons, because without these conservation efforts you might think why are there still only half a million? That's one of the biggest, reasons, and sadly, there quarantine periods and when these infected Bison Rome free like their prone to do, they have to be put down They get shot like thirty, seven hundred of them, twenty years of them wanted outside of Yellowstone They have to take him down yeah if you fear, but the one of the problems with the big problems we are facing with getting the basin.

The mecca his feet is that we will have land like we used to go to the other degrees, so their original ranger regional ecosystem are now develop a quickie. So it's like guy sustain Yellowstone. Yes, oh you do. You wondered outside of Yellowstone and bang right. Apparently all even in Yellowstone? Sometimes things converged like they didn't? Ninety? Ninety six, ninety seven, that winter there's a particularly harsh winter. So a lot of these out of the food supply was covered up with snow and ice and, like thirteen hundred bison starved to death in the park, while on top of a bunch the head be shy. Wandering out too. So bad you for basin in Yellowstone, while not. The final reason really is that when you have a smaller herds like there's gonna, be more inbreeding in inbreeding, doesn't led to a healthy population yeah, which is one of the reasons why Brazil losses is so rampant. You have a narrower gene pool.

You did a private citizen. Ninety five percent of all bison early on private land- yes, that's crazy! Yeah, like people coming together to single handedly, revive this species from the brink of extinction Every time you had a bison burger you're, helping to conserve the bison population in that we're at his weaker got. One were fact here it is it on a high note sure. Ok, you, like Buffalo cheese and stuff, like that. I do like Buffalo mozzarella good stuff, not from above apparently any kind of Buffalo product like that, the milk cheese is from the water Buffalo and the reason why bison are not commercially melt is because the Ladys have a little teats. Really tiny little teach that are very small and they're, not great for for milking an arm.

So there that he's gonna death well to that kind of thing, the Ladys are like. Hence our fellows. I didn't know that I dont want only chuck even having been Beverly bison. I know today, as of today, more than I ever have before about bison in general, the amateur and its bisons plural. We should go free that I wished to free that personally, Cambridge, do you want to here. We should send it down the seventy eight east, one reason: why worry town where I may be addressing somebody shooter? They behave radically, but apparently, when I say you can tell how bisons feeling based on his tail of his tail real angling between his legs he's com. If it's moving, he's alert is maybe watching you if its pointing straight out, or up get out of town, yet we are really going to charge, while, let's critical, That's it for bison in dumb, again hats off

regarding his eating bison burgers, because you are keeping the base and population in Czech TED Turner. Thank you, sir. You. I raise my cutty sort to you. I saw him the willing Nelson concert of years ago. You did, and I wanted to tackle him and say thank you. He Polly with a life that he's a big part of my childhood from Atlanta, like you can't be from Atlanta him, the seventys and not think allotted to turn yeah, I'm sure he was like your secret Santa one year, yeah of course if you want to know more about bison an extinction and by some burgers improves the losses you got all this stuff packed into one great article called what brought bison from the brink of extinction. Thy son literate in their corner- you can just put a bison extinction in the search bar, has therefore that common to bring up this article- and I think I said, search bar- did I not let the cat

bag already? Ok, that as he John Hodgman sitting right here when I can deal with Gmail sorry listeners is the fourth time I'm putting my foot down to the last time, at least for this series is, has been going on for two weeks. It's why this is the last time. Ok, so it is for a four year may wish to allow more wriggly them It is for a four. Can we keep coronets excellent hey. Do you like that? your taxes. Does anyone know?

So, Mr Hodgman, thank you very much for coming pushing me right out George. I thank you very much for coming. I'm a hologram, I'm not even here did you. I know pushing through you right now. Hodgman actual is in Saint Louis Missouri gave way to the west getting ready to perform tonight to her on the bookstore live atop the Saint Louis Arch yeah. Well, no, not exactly, whereas the the locality Anna had here just a second ago. It was it.

Yeah, the bookstore there, there's lots like laugh, a minute bookstore think is always call hangs the mad art gallery. That's thinking. Lapham is seven p m this very evening November. Third, do you want to save and arrogant the mad art gallery Sevenpm this very evening November? Third Hodgman actual is presenting material from his book. That is all special guest insert name here. How thankful? I can't believe we got that guy or gal yeah the guy. So so now, I'm just a holographic representation of myself here again to say hello to you guys will thank you. Because I am a big fan, deranged millionaire. Who has a hologram of themselves yet and send to say, replied! Guess why not yet exactly that's the thing about husband,

even even getting the hologram of them. As you know more than you could possibly want with anybody else, angry with you as a hologram, I can say and actual better. Oh really, we noticed we notice less time, I'm not as flashlight. We noticed due to my graphic nature. Although you to make the sounds it's weird and that parliament I am, I am, I am a simulated programme designed to interact with real world stimulus in a realistic manner, either hamburger sandwich that moves you. What are your favorite? What are your famous Atlanta hamburger, savage?

Sir John, you wrote a book called that is always in a third and your series explaining the world. It is my cleat book of world. Now it is like my previous to books, a collection of fascinating trivia, historical tidbits, an amazing true facts of which made up by me, this being the last in a series of complete world knowledge. Indeed, the final world knowledge dealing with the subjects as diverse as travel and ghosts and magic tricks and wine and sports in the end of the world.

And it is called that is all we ve covered a lot of this in the pod cast to so. This is almost, I guess you could say, companion, peace, let last time you establish nobody ever again, no yeah! That's right! It's also my life's work. The thank you ok. Last week you accused me of taking bizarre last week shock of taking a connection over over. It would say over liberal inspiration from the stuff you should know podcast after I had very graciously pointed out that a huge section of my book regarding neutering was in homage to your very pompous, and then I took that nice gesture and I stopped on it, but I will tell you one thing: I did download one of your pod gas specifically

search for the book that is all without knowing neck phenomenon, those who govern with cohorts, Jonathan Strickland who, by the way, just PETE himself, because we mentioned him in reference to you what has happened just now. Yes, my other hologram is claiming that at this that is your full service guy. Our many holograms wandering the halls right now I get to the heart of a new security system has to works, is considering Sir John. Is it true that, in this book you explain things like the thick fish? What's the fish and the bowl of brown? Oh, yes, that's right! Well, that's not part of my You know you know my book better than I do it's true that you explain these a period of the year. Nineteen, seventy one as birth here, which we both share. That's true! What what's going on? Yes, true, Is it true that you expect

the benefits and taboos at sea while cruising, but that is so. True, John, that there is a table in your book about disgusting, regional sodas. That is true. Would you be kind enough to read some of those so did I feel I can be in Turkey. Yes, I have my own copy of a bulky away. You haven't openly with the thick, the fish and the bowl of Brown was the thick fish innovation the bull around the year, the Pentagon, fish wine. The fairy forms these teacher, something funny things you ingest in your book words, but you're stream together, you would think that's my job. Ok, to string those words together both Brown comes from a section my book on rosy wine?

because rosy wine is neither white nor read, I loved the wine chapter. Thank you very much is something that I previously knew nothing about. Because I thought that wine was so complex and multi, layered and and and historic, but it could only be enjoyed by, but apparently no simple, just grape juice. All you need to make it as grape juice human feet in time least, but then, but I point out that, because Roget is neither white nor read, it is best paired with ambiguous foods like the thick fish like thick fish scr. Full of brown, all of brown mystery meet, that's a rosy. I like rosy yeah, I mean it quite honestly. I prosaic sparkling reserves. Were I know it it did. You know you. Can you can tolerate ambiguity here? Some of us can make it

the least bit certain how either be to feel about we like things, I let me know we lichens black or white, we drink either white wine or black line on any real mix them up I remember what all those other words you are talking about, where those very much it you're going to live. I also fasting regional, but there also non alcoholic drinks that you can drink. And there are still regional sodas all over this country- there are not distributed to the rest of the world and, and you might enjoy going into a local on a road trip, go into a little trading There and reaching behind the disgusting handmaid sandwiches and pulling out one of these disgusting regional suit us right to enjoy so for well, there's a ties, gumption brand brain drizzle. Would you we get in Maine Vermont it Sir

others were originally served in pharmacies. That's whether in parts of the country, the so called tonic and knowing when they took up because they were medicine.
