And IBM problems inspire us to push the world forward. That's why someone people work with us on everything from city traffic to ocean plastic. Smart loves problems, IBM, let's put smart too visit IBM dot com slashed smart to learn more welcomed. Stop me should know from house for external aid and welcome the fact that the Josh Clerk their trials that each of the brain, we, both by great some sort of fight club, their heresy Felicia summer, both good. What do you figure Well, you know how I got my train that with one of those likely Writing it wasn't a rule. It was. It was one of the reasons to keep your fingernails trend in your hair cut. You know what I'm gonna bring.

Gangs of New York the other day again here, the fish? Look when the officials, the dude, that's a classic move in like old school fighting, like you put your fisticuffs up, and then you can get a hold of a guy on the fish, would bring them back off and bring about an old track. You saw me- and I even practice I myself will of that cause I was like. Is that really ineffective move in since early when you knew her father. I know this China, I've been to bring back vertically strike, pants, J and official you so how you doing Spinello, while now it's been what three or four days in the magic of the by catch releases, we're right on schedule. Ok, I have a story for you this year, its tragic, but it's interesting and relates to what we're talking about

any good interruption freight, though in April April, two thousand thirteen a woman was one was she was hiking through the Pyrenees in France with a couple of friends and she lost her footing and she fell nine hundred and eighty feet about three hundred metres to a death, obviously now and arm. Of course, her friend you like, oh my god, they posted something like sacra, blue or something like that. Right and contact with the authorities and the authorities got out their pretty quick within forty five minutes day located in reached her dead body that, but what they found was nothing but her bones and are tattered clothing in

use forty that met within forty five minutes. The local Griffin vultures had picked the woman cling while she went from being alive, forty five minutes later being skeleton and his gruesome, as there is actually a really good sign. If you are pulling for healthy vultures. Relations yeah and you know what that actually dispels a myth right off the bat vultures actually prefer fresh meat, yeah they don't necessarily like rotten flesh, but they will eat but rotten flesh, but they prefer fresh meat right of a dead carcass, though but now the reason why the there were so many voters by they were able to pick the swarming cleanest, because there's a lot of Griffin Vultures in France,

and the reason, there's a lot and the reason that their Hungary is because the french government's, as you can't shoot these vultures right, leave them alone, and also farmers burn your dead livestock. So you have a bunch of vultures that are protected from humans, which is their number one predator bright, who are hungry because their food supplies being burned by said humans. So when an unlucky, human slips and loser footing in the Pyrenees, the vultures picker that body clean forty five minutes, that's pretty quick now follow me Chuck, ok, overdue, Nepal, the Himalayas! Ah, very nice like in the mountains. It is the dude I got magic carpet clean. I hid his fearing. It smells like a new car, a new concept, Spain, on that cocoanut, no nuclear. So in the Himalayas you ve got to different groups, zero asters and the Tibetan Buddhists yeah they hate each other

they are in the sky. Burials. Remember those the azure, ok, so you wanna refresh everybody was Gabriel, Yes, guy burial is basically when you, you leave your love, his body out in a field for the voters, to pick clean right and zero Astor through natural and Buddhists. Both believe that you shouldn't is very a dead body here. Jim cremated dead body pollutes the earth, so you give it to the vultures which are Kennedy spiritual beings in with religions they coupon. That puts the problem. The problem is, is there are so few in the Himalayas these days, that they can take care of the dead bodies that they put out there, so the restoration and Buddhists are having to like ship amount of account really yet are not even able

from Skype. Burials know they do, but I mean it's not they're not fulfilled right, because there's not enough cultures. A reason why the sign of falters we found out- and he doesn't six- is because of in non steroid or anti inflammatory drug called Dick low fanatic, nice here- and there are twenty three He sought a worldwide a vulture on every continent Australia in Antarctica, which of surprise an Australian. That's like that, they would have a ball out their job in a vulture central. Yes, open territorial dead bodies. Have you heard me, especially if Nick Cave hasn't

equally, sadly, fourteen of those species are endangered or threatened at this point in the dyke Loaf and act as a big culprits. Ranchers used it to our cattle yeah and then the vultures would eat and just like from one eating of dead cows would mean a kill. The vulture yeah. I gave him a kidney failure. Yeah, unlike the voters, will be on their purchasing just fall over dead and wiped out. Three different species of vultures EAST in our world vultures yeah, like ninety five percent of the three species were just wiped out. Ya get ninety nine. Actually, while the Good NEWS is they bandit two thousand six in India and in two thousand twelve it. Actually, the population increased for the first time in many many many years yet so their slightly on the uptake in that area of,

world, at least when it was a huge like mystery of what was going on. You know what was killing the vultures and luckily, for these vultures, their populations were dwindling in India, Indians very much prize the vulture as like unnecessary creature to create. I guess, Promote sanitary conditions in nature: yeah I mean if, if their eating the sick animals, then the sick Anna, bacteria, isn't going to get into the ground and reach into the water right, and if there are no, Walter's around their potentially could be like spikes and disease, and things out there actually really necessary. They really are now we're there. Spikes it is dumb. Vultures cannot take it for the team, the team being the rest of the earth yeah they step in and they, like you, said like if her, if there's a cow with some with anthrax or something you're, a vulture, each the carcass, but the vultures digestive system is a tuned

to this city level. That will kill most, if not all, of whatever disease, that cattle had. So it breaks the chain of infectious diseases, and so you think of vultures is like these very dirty animals that they actually are performing. This really specific and important, a collage legal service to the rest of the world. Yet and we'll get you some more like vultures or clean facts and right, which itself is sound like like These are clean. Well, will tell you we do want to their cleaner than you think, exactly masquerades it, and also your thing like the you're on around disease can outbreak not only that there, the service that they perform is so vital to Serbia It is a service to an extent like no other, basically, natures clean up career, and they do it

eating rotting flesh Harriet, and they do it really quickly can sky burials. Before that the defamation of the of the eastern species, the indian species, they could take care of a dead body. Like thirty minutes, thirty minutes, there's no other species. I can do that and so service? It is a service that they per provide vultures ink LLC. It makes so much sense Lucian, airily speaking that the old world species right there. Are in the eastern hemisphere. Man, a new world species that are in the western hemisphere are not related. Vague co evolved to of the same thing here evolve from two different groups of animals there not related, so it's almost like nature is like

yeah. This is never going to happen with these birds and everyone is forever we're. Gonna need him over here, so you must have everything evolve into vultures. Vultures came up separately and two different size of the world. That's how important they are very important, the old world vultures which are Eastern Hemisphere likely to said other twelve species, and they are really hawks and eagles directly nest with sticks, and things like you might see, of alternate asked like sticking on a log sticking out from a cliff like it's a cartoon or something. Imagine it western hemisphere over here is where we have the new world ones very progressive vultures. They don't failed nest. And their dislike when I'd into that his work. We we, like midcentury, modern, digs exactly and like the California conduct firstly yeah, and you know the candour is his rebound.

The talk about endangered. They did to allow twenty five and the nineteen eighties yeah, and now has a twenty twelve. There are four hundred and five and they're pretty off of their wingspan, get to be like nine feet across ya. Think that it's not the California candour, but I think it's one. An Africa can get his eyes eleven as wide as eleven. That's a big bird. He adds huge like the bird could take you down here and I think people don't like vultures because they feed on care This sort of gross people think and other myth that they circled dying animals just waiting for them to die. It's not true, no values because they circle and because, like a California, candour periodical, it's like fifteen thousand feet. That's amazing! It is that they smell leasing, it depends. They have either really great site, really great smell or about so in North America turn Turkey vultures yeah have incredible sense of smell, but there are new world species unrelated to overlook theses. So it can

either way pathetically through their sight other smell. It's really really great you're, like the ones that are that look like you're wearing feather boas there we make it on the neck and head and then just have the big puffier black feathers around let's talk about their. Why why our voters featherless on ahead hygiene, because their sticking, those heads and next into carry an rotted flesh, and it's actually, Just you know it's a natures way of saying I don't want you, you're feathers, you're, nice feathers to get covered with blood and guts right. So it's actually sanitary. They don't sing either. That's another reason. Vultures get a better up! There's no, like vulture song. Like other areas,

it will do like singing birds. Falters drawn in his rarely are like the two sounds: they make area and that's not gonna, get you very far if your covered, if your bald wearing a feather boa grunting and hissing and your covered in like blood and got people, aren't gonna, be like what an iceberg. Well, yeah, it's not it's! Not just the people too, like apparently animals kind of voters are like other outskirts of all organisms like us. They have no natural predators, any hundred predators. They do have like egg hunting pregnant predators. They don't go after the lion author. They go after the eggs does mean like you will once in a while, in times of extreme famine and hardship, fire like a big cat attacking a vulture, but for the most part everything's is leave vultures alone. Humans, bobcats everybody just once vultures discuss stay up there in your writing. Fleshy disgusting things and there they consider birds of prey, even though they rarely fee

live animals, even though they will, if they get hungry they will, however, apparently in France, where you can't kill a vulture and you have to burn your lives without attacking climbing the other taking on live animals, in any case that specific to all world vultures, they have a grasping foot so they can like carry away things like babies. Like you said, a new world. Voters are more like chickens and they can run, but they can't grass. Yet I don't even think the ones with the grasping feet are like they're still not meant to grasp that like from what I read the talons, even on the ones that are able to do so. It's not like an eagle or a or a bar now or anything they can like snatch your cat off your back deck. So no feathers on the head and neck it sanitary and believe it or not. What's the other thing that makes some sanity, the urinate on what the ads they appear on their own feet.

They pay on their feet and legs and kills bacteria. It keep some cool, like our sweat, does them, because the digestive system that has such a high acidity yeah is transferred through their urine and when they pay on their feet. There basically cleaning off Oliver nasty bacteria that got on their feet from crawling around the inside of a zebra, something I'm proud of me for saying urinate in Europe, a Europe that baby the group of vultures Skull, Elvis questions? It's always like. I know what a crow regroup occurs. As everyone knows. What is that? A murder apparently Just have a lotta names they can be. A group is usually called the committee here which there, like you, said there, Asia Necessary service right so that it can a venue or a vault.

And then, when I sounds familiar, Volta vultures when they're in flight, their known as a kettle which I thought was interesting and when their feeding a group is known as awake thinking, John you're. Probably so thank you for coming off. No words doing you think there are so I guess we should get to alter. Vomit is if we weren't dressed out enough by eating dead version, peeping yourself here, because you're saying like they they don't think they paeon themselves. They stay feed. I'm dead animals eat your dead relative, they one other thing. Their voters are very much noted for is farming in times of stress and their freaked out when they feel like there being preyed upon when startled, Third will throw up called defensive. Vomiting now hold on hold on. I think now is the time, for a little must break a name. Will talk about the feds family? I promise.

Hello stuff you should know listeners. Do you want a new year's resolution? That's easy to keep. Yes results to help protect your identity and personal info with lifelong identity, theft, protection, lifelong alert, you to potential threats to your identity, and they see more, though what you can see by just monitoring your own credit like your. So on the dark web and that's a big deal yeah, and if you have a problem life? U S, based restoration specialists, no, the steps to take two resolve your case after all? Only one in five identity theft, victims who had accounts open in their names discovered their theft through a bank or credit card company. Of course, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at businesses, but lifelike Is 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 up to twenty percent off back to vomit yeah when they, when they throw up, they can then get away a lot quicker. You like, I just eight four pounds of cat me and I just picked it up. So I can fly quickly. Exactly so that's one. That's one reason that aviation biologists think that they throw up defensively. Yes, the other one is. This is a decoy. It's a present to the predator, like turning me. Eat

this year in a lot of predators, more often than not will eat whatever they vomited back up kid, it's not always like digested flash. It can be something. I got a big bite of meat that they deserve. You know shewed yeah very recently yesterday, so they feed their little baby vulture. So it's regurgitation, like many birds, do so yet it may not be so different for an eagle, swooped down in say, like hey, that kept me looks like it's just you just vomited up and you just ate it. What's the big deal, Ryan Eagles actually do Baldy Eagle, specifically loved a vulture vomit, which is weird because think about this, like the ball eagles revered animal there, but it's not bawled the vulture is and that it needs Walter vomit vultures? Do the vomiting near like turning everything on its head, your anti american? That is not so the other the cool thing I guess

might say about vulture vomit is it's actually a defence and that its highly acidic like we're talking php? between one and two, which is more than a gastric hydrochloric. Ass it in our own stomach and more corrosive than acid rain. Like that's some acidic vomit there I mean more closely than acid rain. Slight come if you, if you, I guess, poured acid rain on something very like you, This will eventually through something. Maybe this is innocent if you're stature, this is going to harm you in thirty years. Well, we're talking ph levels Yeah, I remember ass a drink as fish in the acid rain podcast we did so. I guess of a fish comes up in scares. Vulture is in trouble or if you bought a goldfish, any filled up, yellow goldfish, both acid rain, it might frighten, is naked or vulture vomit. That's true that this is

travel point is its highway, civic and even more so than other birds of prey in carnivorous birds yeah. So like the vultures, kick it up a notch so, and that is how the vulture doesn't die. From eating bacteria that would probably kill other animals so check it, also they're on their digestive g or how they were getting sick eating things. That would like kill your me. Yes, that's a good point, because I think people, wonder how can they eat always like rancid disease and bacteria rotted flesh? That's how the future of the stomach most things can survive, although they they aren't perfect killing, microbe killing machines, you can't find traces of say, like anthrax, force in their stool after they eat infected meat, but for the most part, the fact that alters eat things that may contain disease. Have the ability to contain that disease and are

naturally reviled by pretty much everything else under the sun and stay away from everything else. They are really great at breaking the chain of infectious diseases, nature, yeah and endangered and threaten so like benighted kind, the vultures yeah. I would encourage vultures of fear, listening, learn a song or to wouldn't hurt. Maybe I'd like to throw the sing theory again and melt everybody's where any carpenter standard the overture and also it maybe like one Christmas scientists with holidays. That's a great wonder if you have a problem with vultures, still hear me now vultures. In the absence of a healthy vulture population, there are still lots of riding carcasses more than that, be if the voters were out and where there's riding carcasses, there's feral dog pets

the federal dog taxes, rabies am dogs, don't stay away from humans like vultures. Do they attack humans rat populations, floor too, when vultures on around so leave the vultures along the point, I got one more limited that were there actually using vultures now in forensics, it's in the Journal of Forensic Science international. They took a body out researcher Catherine Catherine, scraggly of Texas, State University sand market Oh, they have a body for member, yet go Boca the cat for Africa, the bug cats, nice again and actually had a look down up, yeah they have a body farm what you said and they suddenly took a body. Dump it out there to see how long it would take vultures to Skelton eyes it and distribute the remains because, basically

their aim, is to see how long it takes vultures to discover body how long it takes the vultures scale tonight at how far they will distribute the parts in what they do and don't you because essentially, when you find a body in the woods, sometimes it can be ravaged and you dont know like why are there no bite Marx who ravaged this body on his back been here if it's true, why are we finding body parts all over the place? Is this some kind of psycho? That's like hearing these bodies to pieces, so it's the forensic study and they get a video camera triggered by emotion and its thirty seven days actually to be triggered and thirty a thirty strong wake of american bike vultures while took the body and five hours in both of those results, surprise like how long it took them

to get there and how long it took him to galvanise it, because it's like way longer than usual likely said, yeah, we'll three hundred can take care of a body. Like thirty minutes. The thirty five hour something bad near. They thought it was a long and then they got a spatial pattern of the discarded body. Part trap that, with a GDP S over fifteen weeks in their hoping that this pattern, like AIDS, Dino forensics in the future. How far is it gone? They say now that in say pretty interesting. It's very interesting friends, exporters saving people from being unfairly accused of being a grisly serial killer. Exactly also one last thing: if you are interested and possibly a flash with cash in go pair gliding with voters in the Himalayas. There's a man strange vultures, so you go flying on. You know a pair of sale. You fly but tat too about you know you fly attached to the dude retrain the vultures that unimpaired sail in the vultures. Like hang around

They fly around you that he they said it's like swimming with dolphins, but like five thousand feet in the air and they will eat Buffalo me out of your hand. They land on your arm and even then they fly around till. They think you don't have one of Kevin, the vulture really well, they let you Para glide with Buffalo meat, going from your ankles malaria, probably there. This is I'd like to do that. Now, my bucket list on the chuck it lit the jacket was that it yet it ok. Let's think about vultures that we can find everybody.

What's the hurry exactly Thomas Trask was one of the final, a sinner Halloween horror, fetching contest that we held last year idea and we said

buddy. You made it in the sweet, sixteen or actually think anybody you entered. If you went on to publish anything, let us now and we will plug so Thomas trusted just that he wrote a book called prism. It's a cypher and it's on Amazon and you can buy as paper back or Kindle says how mistrust with prison. And it's probably pretty sweet because he wrote one of my favorite stories: yeah Quantum suicide of housework, forget it was mine, so do I would strongly recommend anything, Trask Rights, frankly, ok now it's time for some Yet this is an old it's about keeping, but regrettably the bartender Vancouver Juridicis, none. I it's every time I go into a copy place now, and I dont tell them I'm like a tooth

our you guys working for an upscale cocktail, cocktail, downtown Vancouver, great relaxing coolant, produce, walk Friday night at the bar and were batch already having a bartender impetus to this. And I realize it could be a lot of money made a particular. These guys confirm it. One three guys did want these numbers, where I says we're gonna be here having fun this weekend, we're gonna take care of you to give a special attention. You know that guy so white and Buffalo Meet on my ankle. The order, cocktails and beers ordered and rounds and mature, knew their orders their names and gave them nutrients when they're getting low. I basically gave him really get attention. Needless to say, it was good service at the end of the night. After all, the shots and drinks bill was about eight hundred bucks. This very same guy, you told me I'd, be taken care of paper. This credit card in full handed me a billfold and inside was a nickel

Saturday. I comes around nine pm same guys. Rolling thought about the night before incited to be a good person. Do the better man bring them by name in the smile I brought out. Their usual drinks acted like everything was normal, even though I was being eaten, inside the tunnel came. It was even more than night before tonight, another nickel. So that's ten cents and seventeen Sunday night revolves around what do you know the philanthropist rolling still aggravated. I was firm that I would be better person still while and act like it didn't affect me earlier and I would be spitting in so many tricky death. Even if it was despite them. Our slogan, be nice drinks were shaken beers report around eight hundred bucks again another nickel Monday comes around the same. Guy comes in on the data and they can get their starting early asked if he wanted there. As usual, he said no this alone would be long. Setting

pulled out an envelope. Put it on the bar. You told me really to give his friend a great bachelor party and had heard great things about the bar. He never met someone professional, unwelcome either when they made nothing out of it, he told me that he has gone to a few bars, and this in the past They got to the point in some places where they wouldn't even serve them on the second night. Yet I acted like nothing ever happen. You really appreciated this. Thank me and the ongoing envelope, those for me and walked out almost one open it but I think it will be another nickel inside was two thousand dollars can believe it. I was right to kill these people are again and our dismay, two grand for keeping my cool and that man was dancing I figured you might find it interesting and that is Brett from Vancouver. He still has the nickels and I say good for you to grant it, and I also say what a jerk the put this guy through this as some sort of like twisted test

how nice the bartender can be right is really like using the man, social our dynamic between such emergencies or nothing, money about it or one about it. In his before people are treated like a jerk accordingly and ease really risking having things but industry through, I got it, so I would again and said on day.
