Speaker 3 (00:11):
So much, guys, gives you know that hippopotamuses can't swim.
Which there's a fun fact right there. There's hippopotam hippopotamus
is doesn't even something a real word.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Oh, it's not hippopotami, it is not.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hippopotamuses cannot swim. You see them in the water, but
they can't really swim. Their bones are large and dense,
making it hard for them to float. Instead, they do
kind of a slow motion gallop on the river bed
or the seafloor.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'll sell you.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Something else I didn't know is there are people that
can't float, like humans that are like very dense and muscle.
I guess they can't float and they have a hard
time learning how to swim, which, yeah, I've heard about
like a few like my friend Gideon. I don't have
that either, who have like no fat in their body,
like zero fat, you know percentage. He doesn't float very well,

(01:03):
so he doesn't swim. He doesn't really swim. He never
knew that Gideon couldn't flow. I know, it's fascinating.
