Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:17):
What's trending? Did you know?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's throw a baby puffin off a cliff season in Iceland?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, something I don't know about it. I like Ice.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I like Iceland and the people in Iceland. I've been
there a few times. They're dope. They're like they're weird
and they love it. You know, they know they're weird too,
but they're like a good weird, Oh fun, we love weird,
we love weird. They eat puffin there too, and I've
tried it and they don't like it. It's so sad.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
They're so cute, so cute, and it's throw a baby
puffin off a cliffyson now, which means you're saving the
baby puffin?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
How are you you're talking?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Because what happens when the babies come out? When they
emerge after being born. They're supposed to go towards the water,
but because of the lights of the city, they get confused.
So what happens is each person that decides to participate
and throw a baby puffing off a cliff season, they
have to take ten baby puffins and then they wait
until the morning, and then they go and they toss

(01:07):
them off this cliff, and instinctially the baby puffin knows
how to fly.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
That is not always happened, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Then the baby puffins starts to fly and goes towards
the water into the right direction. But if they did
not throw baby puffins off a cliff for the season,
then these little baby puffins would lose it and go
in the wrong direction, or they were a sually sweet
but or there'd be more live baby puffins, because.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Let's be honest, there has to be a few. Like
not bully there baby puffins. I'm telling you about how
they rescue the puffins.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I don't. I just think the headline was hysterical. And
now you're taking it verbata. I'm taking it seriously. This
is a serious matter. But poor babies are taking rescue
teams and hundreds of volunteers search the towns each night
during peak season, collecting up to ten lost puffins per person.
The rescuers take the birds home overnight and then bring
them to the south side of the island the next morning,

(01:57):
where families gather to throw the puffins high into the.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Air above the sea cliffs.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Once airborne, the babies instinctively know how to fly and
head toward the ocean.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You say save, I say kidnapped. Thousands of puffins are
saved this way each year. Where are the mom puffins?
Mom and Puffins?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't know how the puffins work, you know, sometimes
the moms just like disappear.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know what happens in the puffin world. Probably
at a restaurant in Iceland, probably.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
They do.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
They love puffin. It's a delicacy there. They love puffin man,
But it is I don't know. I've tried it a
few times. Each time I give it a chance, and
it's not. I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I couldn't. I couldn't do it. But I really only
throw a baby Puffin off a cliff seriously to watch
it fly. It's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
What if Homie does What if he's the one out
of the family that does not fly, that doesn't open
his wings?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Are you identifying with this puffin? I think I am.
That's hurting like it became so personal to.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
They tried to throw me on the cliffs, forced me
to be an adult before I was ready. My week
didn't off my mom's bride, My wings didn't open.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I needed another year. Do you want to No, I
want to not be thrown off a cliff. What I
want here? You can do this. I'll change the subject.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
The New York Times is asking everyone why bras are
showing again these days? Apparently we've been talking a lot
about the nineties. The nineties are trending in every way,
from fashion to toys to you name it. It's happening.
And back then, I guess we used to like let
our brass straps show through our clothes, and that was normal.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I still think it's normal.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
But I guess Jennifer Andiston is making it cool again,
and so so much so that The New York Times
is asking why are everyone's brasstraps showing these days? Because
I decided to wear a raw today, I'm sorry because
it happened.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
The issue I know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
This is a conversation layers too. This is it's in
such a big conversation, and they brought it up in
a news article saying, like jah for innocents bringing back.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Love her showing the bra.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
I think it's always just been there, you know, when
you wear the sea through shirts with the same color bra.
If you're doing that, or if it's just a strap
that's loose slides off, I mean it happened.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I have a question, and this question is from being
a dude, right sure, so I already don't understand being
a woman, you know what I mean? Okay, But if
I was a woman, and like you know, we had
fought really hard for people to you know, respect us
for our minds and everything else and stop paying attention
to just our bodies. Every time an article like this

(04:35):
comes out about showing a brastrap, I would feel like
it takes you back to the fifties or something like
why are we talking about brostraps? Can just broad straps
be a thing and like not have to worry about
if they're showing or not. Does that hit you that
way or no? Is it just me as a woman,
I'd be like a Karen. I know that if I
were a.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Woman, I think there's a lot of conversations about it,
especially with over sexualization of different people and things, and
then you know, being able to own your sexuality and
make that a powerful thing and you're right, versus being
sexualized and then being vilified.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I just feel like such an old conversation to have
about brastraps. If I was a woman, I wouldn't wear
one of those anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I sometimes have it, but I've been hold out on it.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Listen, if you can rock it without it, bless you.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I can't. It's not to work.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
So because one's a little bit bigger than the other end,
they're a little bit larger, so I need the support.
But everybody's different. So if you can rock it without it,
and they're just those little babies.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Conversation's dumb. I don't want to have an.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm just saying that doesn't need to happen.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Don't you don't have a conversation about your bros. No,
mine is showing right now. Oh my gosh, what are
we gonna do? It's white, it is thank you, it's nude. Technically,
it's like I tried really hard to match, but oh no,
that's what's trending. That was dumb times, it's not me
