Speaker 1 (00:00):
No melting mess, no ice runs. The new Dometic CFX
five keeps your food chilled and your ice frozen so
you can stay focused on the hunt. Just load it up,
plug it in, and let it do the rest. I
love using mind on hot pronghorn hunts and at early
season elk camp. It really is a game changer. Head
(00:23):
to Dometic dot com to learn more about Dometic electric coolers.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's time for why It's the way it is.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Hey, everybody, my name is Clay Nukeom, and today we're
going to answer a question that I've thought a lot about,
and that is why do many male animals why do
they have such loud and robust calls and vocalizations. We're
gonna look into three animals. We're gonna look at the
(01:10):
wild turkey and try to understand why he gobbles. Oh,
We're gonna look at the bull elk and try to
understand why he bugles. And we're gonna look at the
tiny bob white quail to try to understand why he whistles.
(01:32):
Though all these animals are really different, we're gonna see
the similarities and why they do what they do. Let's
start with the turkey. Wild turkeys sleep in the trees
at night and as the sun rises, the male turkey,
what we call a gobbler, is setting on a limb
(01:53):
and he is thinking about the day in front of him.
And a turkey has an incredible voice. They can make
many of localizations, but one of them is a gobble.
In some ways, it's a mystery why turkey gobbles, but
we know one thing's for sure. He is gobbling and
making a very loud noise that can be heard for
(02:13):
over a half a mile in order to attract females
to come to him. It's all about making new baby turkeys.
And we know that there's got to be a boy
turkey and a girl turkey, and that turkey gobbles. Oh,
and a hen turkey who might be way off on
(02:34):
another ridge or across a river. She'll hear that gobbler
and she'll go, you know what, I think I'm going
to head over that direction. A male turkey also gobbles
after he hits the ground to establish his dominance.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In the area.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So there's usually more than one turkey. There's a lot
of turkeys, a lot of male turkeys in different places,
and the turkey that gobbles the most he might he
the dominant, biggest, meanest turkey on the landscape, and he
wants to let everybody know that. But there's another interesting
thing that a turkey does is that they do what
(03:11):
we call shock gobble. And this is kind of a mystery.
Science really can't fully explain it. But when a turkey
in the spring, when he hears an owl or a crow
or a woodpecker make a loud noise, or maybe he'll
(03:36):
even hear a cow move or a door slam on
a truck, that turkey will gobble. He'll gobble at noises
other than turkeys, and they think that it is a
social communication mechanism that a turkey that gobbles a lot
gets a lot of attention from the females. And the
more things he gobbles at, the more attention he gets.
(03:58):
He's just an attention seeker, and that's why turkey's gobble.
They gobble to attract females and to establish dominance. Well,
guess what a bull elk does the same thing. A
bull elk can weigh eight hundred pounds and have a
huge set of antlers, and they make a guttural noise
(04:29):
a bugle that is so loud it can be heard
for over a mile, and they make that noise for
the exact same reason that a turkey gobbles. It's for
two things. It's to attract females and to establish dominance
with other males. It's really a unique thing that the
(04:50):
herd dynamics and flock dynamics of a gobbler turkey and
a bull elk are basically the same. Bull elk makes
a bugle and the cows come to him, and then
he keeps his cows in a little herd called a harem,
and he will have to defend them from other bulls
coming in, and he'll bugle to communicate with those cows
(05:12):
and to communicate dominance and establish himself as the chief
bull of the mountain. Well, guess what. Male animal vocalizations
aren't just for turkeys and elk, but it's also for
the little bitty bob white quail. A bob white quail
is about smaller than half the size of a crow.
(05:34):
It's bigger than a robin that you might see. It's
a little bit bigger than a blue jay. But a
bob white quail is a beautiful animal. The males have
a white head with brown beautiful intricate feathers. The females
have a golden head with the same beautiful feathers. In
a bob white quail in the morning, you will hear him.
In the spring, when it's breeding season, you'll hear him whistling,
(05:58):
and it sounds something like this. He whistles like that,
and the female will whistle back to him, and the
female will come to the bob white and they'll hang out,
and he'll have his little harem of female quail with
(06:20):
him and they will make baby quail. But the point
of all this is that many male animals have a loud,
boisterous communication system that's often louder and the noise travels
further than the females. And it's because that male is
trying to attract females and to intimidate and establish his
(06:43):
dominance over the other males. There are so many animals
that this is the architecture of the way that they
communicate it during their breeding season.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
What's a beef's favorite pasta mac and trees?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's time for guess that critter. Where we play animal
sounds and critter calls, and you've got to guess what
creature is making those sounds. Don't worry, it ain't too hard.
We're gonna throw in some clues. Now open up your years.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That sound you just heard as a chert. If you've
gone hiking in the mountains of the West, you've probably
heard this noise before. These critters live at high elevations,
usually in meadows with lots of rocks, although they burrow
underground and hibernate for about half the year. If you
see one of these, it will likely be perched up
(07:59):
high on a rock and chirping at you. Because these
animals are diurnal or active during the day. Now, when
these critters get seriously worried about a threat coming close
to their home, they start chirping faster and closer together,
forming the sound known as a trill. These critters are
(08:20):
herbivores and eat plants like grasses, flowers, and seeds. They
weigh about five to eleven pounds and are eighteen to
twenty eight inches long. They are tan colored with a
yellow belly and a bushy tail. No surprise, that high
pitched sound is called a whistle. It's how they got
(08:43):
their nickname whistle pig. Even though they're not a pig.
This is an alert sound that these animals use to
warn others of predators like coyotes, boxes, badgers, or eagles
and other large birds. They will even sound the alarm
if people are hiking too close to their tail. In fact,
all of the noises you've heard so far are considered
(09:04):
alarm noises. It's how these critters communicate with each other.
When they're happy and just hanging out, they'll often make
a tooth chattering noise like this, Now time to guess
that critter. Okay, it's time for their reveal. It's a
(09:32):
yellow bellied marmot. These large rodents are known for causing
trouble in campsites, which is why you should always be
sure to secure all of your food and personal belongings
when you're spending the night outdoors. They are also known
as rock chucks because they are often found on rock piles,
and the chirping noise is sometimes called chucking. So stay
(09:56):
alert when you're out in the mountains for the whistling
and chirping of yellow o bellied marmots, and be sure
to tune in next time forgets that critter.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
What is a snake's favorite subject? History?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's time for everyone's favorite game. Show Trivia. Let's all
join in.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I'm joined by Matthew, Mabel Sage, Amelia Addison, and Marshall.
Each player will earn ten dollars for conservation with every
question they get right today. There's a potential for this
room to earn up to one hundred and eighty dollars
this week. That donation is going to try to Unlimited
who connects kids to the outdoors through their Headwaters Youth program.
Let's see how much money our players can raise. Question one,
(10:52):
what is the sugary fluid on plants that bees collect
to make honey? Is it sector nectar or reflector?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:03):
What what is the sugary fluid on plants that bees
collect to make honey? Your three choices are sector, nectar
or reflectors?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Easy?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Marshal says, this one is easy again, is it sector
nectar or reflector? Is everybody ready?
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Go ahead and reveal your answers? Mabel nectar, Amelia nector.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Marshall, sagect Addison, Matthew, that.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Was too easy, everybody got it. The correct answer is nectar.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Bees fly from flower to flower to collect nectar, which
they then bring back to the hive. At the hive,
the nectar is deposited into the honeycomb, and that's where
it turns into honey. The taste and color of honey
will change based on what kind of plant the nectar
came from the fact that.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
You said pollen at the beginning. No, you said that, Matt,
that has anyone ever been stung by a bee? I
remember I was young and I was in a patch
of flowers, and this was when I was like two
years old. This was when we lived in Seattle. My
(12:17):
dad had that I had, and I was like trying
to like water the flowers. You were trying to help,
and they once stung me in it. And the only
thing I remember after that is me laying in my
mom's bed with her phone.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Wow, the bees betrayed you. One time I got stung
by a bee and I only cried for five minutes
afterwards until I got a popsicle. That was three days ago.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Question two?
Speaker 7 (12:46):
What kind of animal is a salamander? Is it a reptile,
an amphibian or a marsupial?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Wait?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
What what kind of animal is a salamander or reptile,
fibian or a marsupial. Our players have been throwing out
a lot of hints to each other. They really want
that money for conservation. Sage, keep your board hidden. What
(13:15):
kind of animal is a salamander? You three choices are
a reptile, an amphibian, or a marsupial.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I think I got it wrong.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
You think you got it wrong, but you're going to
keep that answer anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That's your answer.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Well, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Kind of animal?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Is a salamander, a reptile, an amphibian, or a marsupial?
Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I don't agree with you. I mean because I have
no idea.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Mabel amphibian, Amelia Marshall.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Amphibian, Sage Addison.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Matthew amphibian. The correct answer.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Is an amphibian. Room did very well.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
There are about five hundred species of salamander in the world.
As an amphibian, they can live on land or in water.
Most salamanders are small, but there's one species called the
Japanese giant salamander that can grow to six feet long.
Have you any of you guys ever seen a salamander
or caught one?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Gross?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Gross?
Speaker 8 (14:29):
You caught a big one?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Sage, Okay, like an ox on a video, but they're
not very different.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You're right. Question three, What kind of fish is Dory
from finding Nemo and finding Dory? Is it a blue tang,
a blue gill, or a blue beta?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
What kind of fish is Dorry from finding Nemo and
finding Dory?
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Blue tang, blue gill?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
I watched in preschool?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
How many years ago was that?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Okay? A few?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Is there? Ego?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Two wards or one ward?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
It's one word? What kind of fish is Dory from
finding Nemo and finding Dory? Blue tang, blue gill or
blue beta? Our players are a little less confident.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
I feel like I feel like I feel like I
just went through one that I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I kind of feel confident, but not very much because
I was guessing on the when the one said.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
They all said they all did have blue. I'm trying
to trick you guys, blue tang, blue gill or blue beta?
Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Mabel
blue tang, Amelia blue tang, Marshall bluegill.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Uh, the Sage Addison.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Blue tang, Matthew blue tang.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
The correct answer is a blue tank. Their room did
pretty well. Blue tangs are native to coral reefs in
the Caribbean Sea, where they're one of the region's most
abundant fish. Finding Nemo came out in two thousand and three,
and it sek weel. Finding Dory came out in twenty sixteen. Now,
I haven't seen the movies. Have you guys seen the movies?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
No, my life, I've seen both of them.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
You've seen both of the school kind of sad?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Okay, So which one is better, Marshall Finding Nemo or
Finding Dory?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Probably Finding I get them both mixed up.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Both mixed up.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
They're both good movies.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Is my favorite?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Your favorite?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Ever watched it? Isn't?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I've just seen like it's just really sad.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
So if I'm only going to watch one, you think
I should watch Finding Nemo.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I've only seen a sad part of it where where
the guy was like in the tank and he got
sucked up. Okay, is that Finding Nemo?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's fine if he got stupped out, he got supped
up in the.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Toilet, in the toilet filled the engineer. Have you seen
these movies many times?
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Which one should I watch?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
If I can only watch one? Finding Nemour final.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
I agree with Matthew. You gotta go with finding Nemo
finding Dory.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They tried to make Dory the main character, sort of
like how they made Made or the main character in
Cars Too.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
You know, and some people just should be sidekicks.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Ellen DeGeneres is one of them.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
All right.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
That's it for today's round of trivia, Philly Engineer, how
much money did we raise?
Speaker 8 (17:18):
We raised one hundred and sixty dollars.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
One hundred and sixty dollars going to Trout Unlimited.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Well done, kids. Join us next time.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
For more Meat Eater Kids trivia on the other game
show where conservation always wins.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thanks for listening to everyone, See you next week on
Meat Eater Kids.
No melting mess, no ice runs. The new Dometic CFX
five keeps your food chilled and your ice frozen so
you can stay focused on the hunt. Just load it up,
plug it in, and let it do the rest. I
love using mind on hot pronghorn hunts and at early
season elk camp. It really is a game changer. Head
(00:23):
to Dometic dot com to learn more about Dometic electric coolers.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's time for why It's the way it is.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Hey, everybody, my name is Clay Nukeom, and today we're
going to answer a question that I've thought a lot about,
and that is why do many male animals why do
they have such loud and robust calls and vocalizations. We're
gonna look into three animals. We're gonna look at the
(01:10):
wild turkey and try to understand why he gobbles. Oh,
We're gonna look at the bull elk and try to
understand why he bugles. And we're gonna look at the
tiny bob white quail to try to understand why he whistles.
(01:32):
Though all these animals are really different, we're gonna see
the similarities and why they do what they do. Let's
start with the turkey. Wild turkeys sleep in the trees
at night and as the sun rises, the male turkey,
what we call a gobbler, is setting on a limb
(01:53):
and he is thinking about the day in front of him.
And a turkey has an incredible voice. They can make
many of localizations, but one of them is a gobble.
In some ways, it's a mystery why turkey gobbles, but
we know one thing's for sure. He is gobbling and
making a very loud noise that can be heard for
(02:13):
over a half a mile in order to attract females
to come to him. It's all about making new baby turkeys.
And we know that there's got to be a boy
turkey and a girl turkey, and that turkey gobbles. Oh,
and a hen turkey who might be way off on
(02:34):
another ridge or across a river. She'll hear that gobbler
and she'll go, you know what, I think I'm going
to head over that direction. A male turkey also gobbles
after he hits the ground to establish his dominance.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In the area.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So there's usually more than one turkey. There's a lot
of turkeys, a lot of male turkeys in different places,
and the turkey that gobbles the most he might he
the dominant, biggest, meanest turkey on the landscape, and he
wants to let everybody know that. But there's another interesting
thing that a turkey does is that they do what
(03:11):
we call shock gobble. And this is kind of a mystery.
Science really can't fully explain it. But when a turkey
in the spring, when he hears an owl or a crow
or a woodpecker make a loud noise, or maybe he'll
(03:36):
even hear a cow move or a door slam on
a truck, that turkey will gobble. He'll gobble at noises
other than turkeys, and they think that it is a
social communication mechanism that a turkey that gobbles a lot
gets a lot of attention from the females. And the
more things he gobbles at, the more attention he gets.
(03:58):
He's just an attention seeker, and that's why turkey's gobble.
They gobble to attract females and to establish dominance. Well,
guess what a bull elk does the same thing. A
bull elk can weigh eight hundred pounds and have a
huge set of antlers, and they make a guttural noise
(04:29):
a bugle that is so loud it can be heard
for over a mile, and they make that noise for
the exact same reason that a turkey gobbles. It's for
two things. It's to attract females and to establish dominance
with other males. It's really a unique thing that the
(04:50):
herd dynamics and flock dynamics of a gobbler turkey and
a bull elk are basically the same. Bull elk makes
a bugle and the cows come to him, and then
he keeps his cows in a little herd called a harem,
and he will have to defend them from other bulls
coming in, and he'll bugle to communicate with those cows
(05:12):
and to communicate dominance and establish himself as the chief
bull of the mountain. Well, guess what. Male animal vocalizations
aren't just for turkeys and elk, but it's also for
the little bitty bob white quail. A bob white quail
is about smaller than half the size of a crow.
(05:34):
It's bigger than a robin that you might see. It's
a little bit bigger than a blue jay. But a
bob white quail is a beautiful animal. The males have
a white head with brown beautiful intricate feathers. The females
have a golden head with the same beautiful feathers. In
a bob white quail in the morning, you will hear him.
In the spring, when it's breeding season, you'll hear him whistling,
(05:58):
and it sounds something like this. He whistles like that,
and the female will whistle back to him, and the
female will come to the bob white and they'll hang out,
and he'll have his little harem of female quail with
(06:20):
him and they will make baby quail. But the point
of all this is that many male animals have a loud,
boisterous communication system that's often louder and the noise travels
further than the females. And it's because that male is
trying to attract females and to intimidate and establish his
(06:43):
dominance over the other males. There are so many animals
that this is the architecture of the way that they
communicate it during their breeding season.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
What's a beef's favorite pasta mac and trees?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's time for guess that critter. Where we play animal
sounds and critter calls, and you've got to guess what
creature is making those sounds. Don't worry, it ain't too hard.
We're gonna throw in some clues. Now open up your years.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That sound you just heard as a chert. If you've
gone hiking in the mountains of the West, you've probably
heard this noise before. These critters live at high elevations,
usually in meadows with lots of rocks, although they burrow
underground and hibernate for about half the year. If you
see one of these, it will likely be perched up
(07:59):
high on a rock and chirping at you. Because these
animals are diurnal or active during the day. Now, when
these critters get seriously worried about a threat coming close
to their home, they start chirping faster and closer together,
forming the sound known as a trill. These critters are
(08:20):
herbivores and eat plants like grasses, flowers, and seeds. They
weigh about five to eleven pounds and are eighteen to
twenty eight inches long. They are tan colored with a
yellow belly and a bushy tail. No surprise, that high
pitched sound is called a whistle. It's how they got
(08:43):
their nickname whistle pig. Even though they're not a pig.
This is an alert sound that these animals use to
warn others of predators like coyotes, boxes, badgers, or eagles
and other large birds. They will even sound the alarm
if people are hiking too close to their tail. In fact,
all of the noises you've heard so far are considered
(09:04):
alarm noises. It's how these critters communicate with each other.
When they're happy and just hanging out, they'll often make
a tooth chattering noise like this, Now time to guess
that critter. Okay, it's time for their reveal. It's a
(09:32):
yellow bellied marmot. These large rodents are known for causing
trouble in campsites, which is why you should always be
sure to secure all of your food and personal belongings
when you're spending the night outdoors. They are also known
as rock chucks because they are often found on rock piles,
and the chirping noise is sometimes called chucking. So stay
(09:56):
alert when you're out in the mountains for the whistling
and chirping of yellow o bellied marmots, and be sure
to tune in next time forgets that critter.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
What is a snake's favorite subject? History?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's time for everyone's favorite game. Show Trivia. Let's all
join in.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I'm joined by Matthew, Mabel Sage, Amelia Addison, and Marshall.
Each player will earn ten dollars for conservation with every
question they get right today. There's a potential for this
room to earn up to one hundred and eighty dollars
this week. That donation is going to try to Unlimited
who connects kids to the outdoors through their Headwaters Youth program.
Let's see how much money our players can raise. Question one,
(10:52):
what is the sugary fluid on plants that bees collect
to make honey? Is it sector nectar or reflector?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:03):
What what is the sugary fluid on plants that bees
collect to make honey? Your three choices are sector, nectar
or reflectors?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Easy?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Marshal says, this one is easy again, is it sector
nectar or reflector? Is everybody ready?
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Go ahead and reveal your answers? Mabel nectar, Amelia nector.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Marshall, sagect Addison, Matthew, that.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Was too easy, everybody got it. The correct answer is nectar.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Bees fly from flower to flower to collect nectar, which
they then bring back to the hive. At the hive,
the nectar is deposited into the honeycomb, and that's where
it turns into honey. The taste and color of honey
will change based on what kind of plant the nectar
came from the fact that.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
You said pollen at the beginning. No, you said that, Matt,
that has anyone ever been stung by a bee? I
remember I was young and I was in a patch
of flowers, and this was when I was like two
years old. This was when we lived in Seattle. My
(12:17):
dad had that I had, and I was like trying
to like water the flowers. You were trying to help,
and they once stung me in it. And the only
thing I remember after that is me laying in my
mom's bed with her phone.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Wow, the bees betrayed you. One time I got stung
by a bee and I only cried for five minutes
afterwards until I got a popsicle. That was three days ago.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Question two?
Speaker 7 (12:46):
What kind of animal is a salamander? Is it a reptile,
an amphibian or a marsupial?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Wait?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
What what kind of animal is a salamander or reptile,
fibian or a marsupial. Our players have been throwing out
a lot of hints to each other. They really want
that money for conservation. Sage, keep your board hidden. What
(13:15):
kind of animal is a salamander? You three choices are
a reptile, an amphibian, or a marsupial.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
I think I got it wrong.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
You think you got it wrong, but you're going to
keep that answer anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That's your answer.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Well, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Kind of animal?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Is a salamander, a reptile, an amphibian, or a marsupial?
Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I don't agree with you. I mean because I have
no idea.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Go ahead and reveal your answers. Mabel amphibian, Amelia Marshall.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Amphibian, Sage Addison.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Matthew amphibian. The correct answer.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Is an amphibian. Room did very well.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
There are about five hundred species of salamander in the world.
As an amphibian, they can live on land or in water.
Most salamanders are small, but there's one species called the
Japanese giant salamander that can grow to six feet long.
Have you any of you guys ever seen a salamander
or caught one?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Gross?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Gross?
Speaker 8 (14:29):
You caught a big one?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Sage, Okay, like an ox on a video, but they're
not very different.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You're right. Question three, What kind of fish is Dory
from finding Nemo and finding Dory? Is it a blue tang,
a blue gill, or a blue beta?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
What kind of fish is Dorry from finding Nemo and
finding Dory?
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Blue tang, blue gill?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
I watched in preschool?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
How many years ago was that?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Okay? A few?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Is there? Ego?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Two wards or one ward?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
It's one word? What kind of fish is Dory from
finding Nemo and finding Dory? Blue tang, blue gill or
blue beta? Our players are a little less confident.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
I feel like I feel like I feel like I
just went through one that I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I kind of feel confident, but not very much because
I was guessing on the when the one said.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
They all said they all did have blue. I'm trying
to trick you guys, blue tang, blue gill or blue beta?
Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Mabel
blue tang, Amelia blue tang, Marshall bluegill.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Uh, the Sage Addison.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Blue tang, Matthew blue tang.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
The correct answer is a blue tank. Their room did
pretty well. Blue tangs are native to coral reefs in
the Caribbean Sea, where they're one of the region's most
abundant fish. Finding Nemo came out in two thousand and three,
and it sek weel. Finding Dory came out in twenty sixteen. Now,
I haven't seen the movies. Have you guys seen the movies?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
No, my life, I've seen both of them.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
You've seen both of the school kind of sad?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Okay, So which one is better, Marshall Finding Nemo or
Finding Dory?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Probably Finding I get them both mixed up.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Both mixed up.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
They're both good movies.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Is my favorite?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Your favorite?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Ever watched it? Isn't?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I've just seen like it's just really sad.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
So if I'm only going to watch one, you think
I should watch Finding Nemo.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I've only seen a sad part of it where where
the guy was like in the tank and he got
sucked up. Okay, is that Finding Nemo?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's fine if he got stupped out, he got supped
up in the.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Toilet, in the toilet filled the engineer. Have you seen
these movies many times?
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Which one should I watch?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
If I can only watch one? Finding Nemour final.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
I agree with Matthew. You gotta go with finding Nemo
finding Dory.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They tried to make Dory the main character, sort of
like how they made Made or the main character in
Cars Too.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
You know, and some people just should be sidekicks.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Ellen DeGeneres is one of them.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
All right.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
That's it for today's round of trivia, Philly Engineer, how
much money did we raise?
Speaker 8 (17:18):
We raised one hundred and sixty dollars.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
One hundred and sixty dollars going to Trout Unlimited.
