This is the Fitsy and with Her with Kate Richie podcast.
Hey a little bit of a concern here, and I
can only imagine this was written. This article was written
by a female because she starts off by saying, maybe
this is too good to be true, but the act
of a virgin birth where a male is not involved
(00:22):
in the pregnancy f It's has been recognized that a
zoo in Birmingham, a lizard has become pregnant and given
birth to eight hatchlings despite never being in contact with
a male.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Not not the lizard from the Sydney Swans. It isn't
Nick Blakey.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I don't think it's Blaky. I don't think it's him
because he is a male.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
That's the lizard, great player. He's not aundas he's just.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
He wasn't drinking, that's for sure, because he was pregnant.
Oh my god. So it goes on to say that
animals such as sharks, snakes, crocodiles, scorpions and wasps. So
we all go, okay, you got to sort of bugs
and stuff there. Oh, you've got a couple of uglies.
Then it goes on to say it has also occurred
in mammals virgin births where the male has not been involved. Well, now,
(01:24):
this is a nasty thing to think of, because I
tell you what if we're not involved in making babies
and I ain't sure what we're doing here.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's right. What's the role of the male lizard
if they don't need to impregnate the female?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I don't know. He just sits in the corner, I
assume in a massage chair, having a Bacardi breezer. Yeah,
it goes on here and says this can happen when
it has happened in mammals, which we are. It happens
when a female has been isolated for a long time
and has the hope of finding a male. Now, I'm
(02:00):
not saying that Kate Richie is going to turn up
at seven o'clock and tell us she's pregnant without a male.
But look, it's a long shot. It's a long shot.
She likes a bit of time to work herself. There
could be a pun in the oven. Will Kate Richie
announced the pregnancy without a man today on the same

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
