In today's episode, the crew chats with Brendan De Grim, the Dive Safety Officer of New Orleans own Audubon Aquarium! Not only is his job super cool but his path to getting there is certainly one you're going to want to hear! From criminal justice to banking to private investigator to scuba instructor, Brendan teaches us that the path to the fish world can be a windy road. The Aquarium in New Orleans has been revamped since the days of Hurricane Katrina and it shows. Come along with us as we learn about Brendan and his very cool workplace.
This podcast is brought to you by the hagfish. These ugly, eel-shaped jawless fish are the only known living animals that have a skull but no vertebral column, making them the ocean’s version of the bendy inflatable car dealership man we know and love. Except do we love them? The slime produced by these creatures expands to 10,000 times its volume in less than a second when coming in contact with seawater. They use this slime to escape predators by filling their mouths with slime. Gross! Cheers to you, hagfish. May we never cross you.
