Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what, Diane really really liked that we did
not too long ago. It seemed like Diane got really
invested in the sounds that sharks make. Because remember, for
the longest time, Diane, they were the silent killers. You'd
never heard them, but we found out they make those
very very loud and recognizable.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It clicks here it is.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I remember Diane was like, yet I love this. I
love this.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
So I'm happy to report, Diane, can you tell me
in the world which animal would be considered the world's
best yodelers based on voice breaks, which is what yodeling.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is, right, Why does a voice break?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So like, think of ah, that'll give it away. Try
to yodel something. I don't know how to yodel. Oh
that Christian, do you know how to yodel?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
This will be good?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Okay, so it's not.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
It's been a while since what your trip to Austria
is Austria the home of yodeling.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It sounds like you're gonna tell us that it's going
to be not human.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The well, no, obviously it's not. But the the I don't. Yeah,
I guess because you think.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Of the mountains, right, the Austrian mountains.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, the goats and the sound of music.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
The that's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh very good, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But yes, go ahead. I know you said it's been
a while.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah, I was a kid and we yodeled to the
the goats. Yolda lady, yolda lady, yoda, lady.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Who snorted again?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Two three?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh no, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And that would make them rush to you.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Now, let her warm up and then maybe.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well I was gonna ask her to do it again
because there is something that now now that we know
she can yodel, now, I want us to pay attention
to something. Two things actually, the voice break and the
octave change.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, well I get the octave change.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, okay, I'm not I'll be honest. I'm not good
in that world. Like I don't know, I don't I'm
not good at at at octaves like I know, don't
They always say, like Mariah has seven.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Octaves, she has quite a few, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Right, and the most people have one or two octaves?
Is that right? How many? Do I have?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Most of them? More than one? Mariah has a five
octave vocal range.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Which is high. Like what is do they have that
list for all singers.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I thought you said Alzheimer's.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The I have that. No, no, no, But like what
is does? Does it? Does? Adele have a lot of octaves?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The average person can do three octaves?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Three?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, yeah, okay, keep going more.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I can't start lower than I have four octaves. Usually,
I'm Mariah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Usually the best example of your range is the same note.
What do you mean you were a little pitchy?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh yeah, well I'm not.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm not a music guy. A well, I went up
too high. I went two octaves there.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You sound like an aborigining m.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You want to coke Adella's three octaves?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm trying to think of like very am I wrong
to do that? Like I'm trying to think of like
very classically trained singers? And then the next one that
comes to mind Sadley and Subo?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
What about like Josh or Grayson?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Wait, that sounds like where's Scotty McCreery.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Josh Grobin was playing one place in Vegas when we
were there.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Wasn't he on Fremont Street? Was he playing?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Like Binions was gonna come to the Colisseum? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That right, that's right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And Scotty McCurry. Diana's right here. No, Susan Boyle has
a range of two and a half octaves.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That's it. I got more range than super how about that?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So what does this have to do with yodel?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I want to I want to.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I want Kristen to yodel again, and I want to
count voice breaks and octave changes.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Whenever you're ready.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Should I slow it down?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Actually I don't want you to. No, I want you
to be normal.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Now. Don't forget I'm not.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It's been a while, right.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yoda, lay Yoda, lay yoda.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Lay.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
You can't laugh. I'm gonna shut my eyes into it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Okay, Elliott, turn around.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yoda, lay yoda, lay yoda.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Lay.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So I think there's not even looking at I think
there are three voice breaks there if I'm interpreting, because
it's like like not a not a breath. But yeah,
so she says like, well, she goes, yeah, there's one,
and this she did three times and then the final one.
You didn't come back down. You came down and pitched,
but you stayed in that register. That's all.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Dog, it was pitchy. I said you were pitchy. Yes,
So anyway, what are you doing.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I'm like wording it again.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
You had to write down the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I'll get over to genius so we can annotate it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A new study found that the world's finest yodelers aren't
from Austria or Switzerland. Published in the journal Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society B and led by experts from
all around the world, it provided significant new insights into
(06:56):
the diverse vocal sounds of non human.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Primates. Monkeys, they yodel are the original yodelers? Yes, Kristin.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Then why does it associate with the goats of Austria?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Isn't it because the goat herders are calling the goats?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I guess so hence Gwen Stefani, Yeah, that's the sample.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Don't goats bleat? Isn't that there?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I thought that was the term.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, it's but you're calling the goat.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, that's you're not imitating the goat, you're calling the goat.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You're advertising for a cough drop. There you go. That's Kristen,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
So and as a matter of fact, they said that
the the the we should have known this earlier in
the show. In our show, no researchers should have known
this earlier. Oh oh, and then they get into Diane.
I thought, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I'm moving a paper, he's getting dirt.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Ready? Wait, did I lose you already?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, So they were saying, so, why why are these monkeys,
these primates, these apes able to vocalize so much better
than humans. Here's what they found, right, and they got
great range, great range. But they found that, so we
have I'm gonna mess this up a little bit, but
(08:29):
we have vocal cords. They also have vocal folds which
are above the vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And that helps with their breaking.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yes, don't have a vocal fold. I thought humans had
that too.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
New research has discovered vocal membranes, which are extremely thin
instead above the vocal folds. Okay, that's what we have.
We have vocal folds. They also have those and vocal membraneanes.
We don't have the membrane.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, Yes, you're an additional pair of membranes that gives
the if our wider pitch range.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, I wish we still had the membranes.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, I'm continuing to read, which maybe you didn't. This
gives the monkeys a complex way of communicating However, the
reason that at some point in evolution, humans lost the membranes.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So we could talk. You're right, yeah, so we could talk.
That's why we got riddle.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It says the trade off was probably worth it, but.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wouldn't it be great if we could have both?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, I mean, Kristen's got them all.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So they said we should have known this earlier, because
they went back and said, who.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Has this?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Not the membranes, but who was doing this all along
to mimic the monkeys without knowing what they were really uncovering.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You're asking our questions.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, really yes, And that's how we should have known
forever ago. We didn't need a scientist. We needed Ron
Eli was it Ron or Joe whatever? The Tarzan guy?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know it's yeah, I see there's audio. May I
play this?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, you will hear. You're gonna hear two things.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The first thing you're gonna hear is a tufted capuchin.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Okay, what is that a monkey?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's a monkey. Yeah, you're gonna hear that at a
regular speed.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
This is why I didn't want Kristen to slow herself down,
because you're gonna hear it, and you're just gonna go.
But once you hear it slowed down, you'll start to
hear the breaks in the octaves.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So you want please, well what I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Start paying attention in the order? Yes? I want normal
and slow? Ok, here we go normal. That's normal one
more time. How many octaves are you hearing? There?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Three?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
They're approaching approaching a third. Yeah, that that's what it
sounds like, and kind of sounds like barre like we're
getting into a white cleft song.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's a third octave.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, but you're not. It's it didn't explore that octavit
just got to the start.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'm good with that. That's what subo does.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's it's impressive. Yes, and then so the second slow down.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Blow it down, slow it down, and you can hear there,
what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
That was weird?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's what the microplastics guy sounds like.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
The sound like a donkey, But you hear that's three
separate individual voice breaks.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
We'll be here all weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Isn't that cool?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
That was me saying, yes, I think this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What else coming to how we need a fourth for charge?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
The Yes, Kristen, where in the world specifically is this
kind of monkey is.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
This an old versus New World question?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The rainforest?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Now, what about a gorilla? What is his noise or hers?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
We studied Tupton?
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Is that the cracker?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Merry Christmas?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Wait? Can't you do? Can't you do the Star Wars
theme with three keys?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You're thinking of Christmas? Wookie?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Very good, Diane, So you are paying attention?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Or did you just stumble on that Star Wars for
a lesque show? No, No, Empire strips back?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Isn't isn't it? Three? Isn't the Star Wars?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm pulling done done No, because it's.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Done done done. Dun dun don don. That's a lot
more than it's more than three? And then what is
the d dund? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That has nothing to do with my sciences?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
There's that high note there.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know what sucks? I tried to know. I tried
to bring in science.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I tried to do a little sum for everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Kind of sounds like slow, what are you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Though?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But I tried to Like, we learned all about the
sharks and that was awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And I learned about these monkeys now too.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Mareat fun? You organized? I wasn't organized.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I wasn't the only one.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Who else did Kristen tried to yodel? Yeah, he did yodel.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Yeah, well she tried to yodel on the spot after years.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
No, but that, but like yodeling, whoa, Why you.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Think that's yodeling? No wonder you thought she No, but
Kristen's doing a song. Yes, I just want somebody who
can yodel a professional A yodel is a song?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
No? No, but she's doing the one we all know.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh you think that's too generic.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, but like if I stood in a mountain and
just started yodeling.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
All the goat would come to you, goat, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I often with I often say when you wonder if
there's a chance someone.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Nobody listening can yodel?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Zero chance, I too tend to side with that. I
don't know if anyone zero chance is somebody fond of
I'll give somebody a shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'll give somebody a shirt if they can legit, legit yodel.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yes, Christian, do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
You think our opera singer?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, I think she sings opera. I think she's got
a lot of octaves.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Or if she why just because she can yodel.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
She's good at manipulating her voice.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So you think I'm trying to I'm just trying to
think of somebody. You think Josh Grayson Kinn yodel. No,
he's gonna manipulated. He's a singer. He's gonna manipulating his voice.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Also, Christen didn't even mean to say him.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, okay, she said growing just because just because.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You see opera doesn't mean that you can yo. Do
you think Subo kN yodel? I got I got up
in octave? There?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I bet they can do better than me and.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You well, congratulations, Subo, you can yodel better than Elliott?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Where are you on hog calling?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hey, well you see if one ken yodel, I'll give
somebody a shirt.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
If we can get a legit yodler, I would do that.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Who I thought?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Oh, Tajoy was only three notes? Who do I just not?
Maybe maybe the notes I have make a sound off
because the monkey was a little pitchy, not dog, a
little pitchy monk a right eight.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Six six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And you're sitting back.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
What I'm waiting to see if we get a yodeler. Wait,
hold on, yes, Kristen.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, so the guy who was on he wasn't a yodeler,
but he said, we all know somebody who is in
her name is Jewel.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
She does do that, right, didn't she used to do
that on stage?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I know she used to live in a van.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
That was part of her stick.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
She yodeled off stage? Yes, dear god, how pathetic is she?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I don't know if she lived rent free though.
Speaker 3 (17:48):

That's great?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Hey, how did you learn to do that?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I just I don't know. I knew it's called breaking,
and I know I could do it, So I just
learned some of the riffs.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Dude, that was awesome, and I was betting money against it. Hey,
can I ask you to do me now? I feel
like I'm back with the carol On? Can I ask
you to do me a favor? Drive to Frederick?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Can you get? Can you get a little?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh?

Because I wandered to get a little further away from
the phone.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
So it's a little.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Clear, it's pretty clear. It's this may not sound great.

All right.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You know what, I'll give you a shirt.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Also appreciate.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I'll give you a shirt. All right?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Hold on one second, hold on? Can I can I
ask you? Can I ask an honest question? And I'm
being serious. Everybody we've met ensine has been. Are there
male yodlers? Oh yeah, Mason Ramsay, who, by the way,
now is hot.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Fourteen older than now? I think he's eighteen.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Oh, thank goodness.
You know what, Diane really really liked that we did
not too long ago. It seemed like Diane got really
invested in the sounds that sharks make. Because remember, for
the longest time, Diane, they were the silent killers. You'd
never heard them, but we found out they make those
very very loud and recognizable.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It clicks here it is.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I remember Diane was like, yet I love this. I
love this.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
So I'm happy to report, Diane, can you tell me
in the world which animal would be considered the world's
best yodelers based on voice breaks, which is what yodeling.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is, right, Why does a voice break?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So like, think of ah, that'll give it away. Try
to yodel something. I don't know how to yodel. Oh
that Christian, do you know how to yodel?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
This will be good?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Okay, so it's not.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
It's been a while since what your trip to Austria
is Austria the home of yodeling.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It sounds like you're gonna tell us that it's going
to be not human.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The well, no, obviously it's not. But the the I don't. Yeah,
I guess because you think.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Of the mountains, right, the Austrian mountains.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, the goats and the sound of music.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
The that's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh very good, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But yes, go ahead. I know you said it's been
a while.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah, I was a kid and we yodeled to the
the goats. Yolda lady, yolda lady, yoda, lady.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Who snorted again?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Two three?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh no, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And that would make them rush to you.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Now, let her warm up and then maybe.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well I was gonna ask her to do it again
because there is something that now now that we know
she can yodel, now, I want us to pay attention
to something. Two things actually, the voice break and the
octave change.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, well I get the octave change.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, okay, I'm not I'll be honest. I'm not good
in that world. Like I don't know, I don't I'm
not good at at at octaves like I know, don't
They always say, like Mariah has seven.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Octaves, she has quite a few, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Right, and the most people have one or two octaves?
Is that right? How many? Do I have?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Most of them? More than one? Mariah has a five
octave vocal range.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Which is high. Like what is do they have that
list for all singers.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I thought you said Alzheimer's.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The I have that. No, no, no, But like what
is does? Does it? Does? Adele have a lot of octaves?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The average person can do three octaves?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Three?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, yeah, okay, keep going more.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I can't start lower than I have four octaves. Usually,
I'm Mariah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Usually the best example of your range is the same note.
What do you mean you were a little pitchy?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh yeah, well I'm not.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm not a music guy. A well, I went up
too high. I went two octaves there.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You sound like an aborigining m.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You want to coke Adella's three octaves?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm trying to think of like very am I wrong
to do that? Like I'm trying to think of like
very classically trained singers? And then the next one that
comes to mind Sadley and Subo?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
What about like Josh or Grayson?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Wait, that sounds like where's Scotty McCreery.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Josh Grobin was playing one place in Vegas when we
were there.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Wasn't he on Fremont Street? Was he playing?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Like Binions was gonna come to the Colisseum? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That right, that's right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And Scotty McCurry. Diana's right here. No, Susan Boyle has
a range of two and a half octaves.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That's it. I got more range than super how about that?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So what does this have to do with yodel?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I want to I want to.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I want Kristen to yodel again, and I want to
count voice breaks and octave changes.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Whenever you're ready.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Should I slow it down?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Actually I don't want you to. No, I want you
to be normal.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Now. Don't forget I'm not.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It's been a while, right.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yoda, lay Yoda, lay yoda.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Lay.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
You can't laugh. I'm gonna shut my eyes into it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Okay, Elliott, turn around.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yoda, lay yoda, lay yoda.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Lay.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So I think there's not even looking at I think
there are three voice breaks there if I'm interpreting, because
it's like like not a not a breath. But yeah,
so she says like, well, she goes, yeah, there's one,
and this she did three times and then the final one.
You didn't come back down. You came down and pitched,
but you stayed in that register. That's all.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Dog, it was pitchy. I said you were pitchy. Yes,
So anyway, what are you doing.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I'm like wording it again.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
You had to write down the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I'll get over to genius so we can annotate it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A new study found that the world's finest yodelers aren't
from Austria or Switzerland. Published in the journal Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society B and led by experts from
all around the world, it provided significant new insights into
(06:56):
the diverse vocal sounds of non human.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Primates. Monkeys, they yodel are the original yodelers? Yes, Kristin.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Then why does it associate with the goats of Austria?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Isn't it because the goat herders are calling the goats?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I guess so hence Gwen Stefani, Yeah, that's the sample.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Don't goats bleat? Isn't that there?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I thought that was the term.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, it's but you're calling the goat.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, that's you're not imitating the goat, you're calling the goat.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You're advertising for a cough drop. There you go. That's Kristen,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
So and as a matter of fact, they said that
the the the we should have known this earlier in
the show. In our show, no researchers should have known
this earlier. Oh oh, and then they get into Diane.
I thought, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I'm moving a paper, he's getting dirt.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Ready? Wait, did I lose you already?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, So they were saying, so, why why are these monkeys,
these primates, these apes able to vocalize so much better
than humans. Here's what they found, right, and they got
great range, great range. But they found that, so we
have I'm gonna mess this up a little bit, but
(08:29):
we have vocal cords. They also have vocal folds which
are above the vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And that helps with their breaking.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yes, don't have a vocal fold. I thought humans had
that too.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
New research has discovered vocal membranes, which are extremely thin
instead above the vocal folds. Okay, that's what we have.
We have vocal folds. They also have those and vocal membraneanes.
We don't have the membrane.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, Yes, you're an additional pair of membranes that gives
the if our wider pitch range.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, I wish we still had the membranes.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, I'm continuing to read, which maybe you didn't. This
gives the monkeys a complex way of communicating However, the
reason that at some point in evolution, humans lost the membranes.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So we could talk. You're right, yeah, so we could talk.
That's why we got riddle.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It says the trade off was probably worth it, but.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wouldn't it be great if we could have both?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, I mean, Kristen's got them all.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So they said we should have known this earlier, because
they went back and said, who.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Has this?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Not the membranes, but who was doing this all along
to mimic the monkeys without knowing what they were really uncovering.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You're asking our questions.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, really yes, And that's how we should have known
forever ago. We didn't need a scientist. We needed Ron
Eli was it Ron or Joe whatever? The Tarzan guy?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know it's yeah, I see there's audio. May I
play this?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, you will hear. You're gonna hear two things.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The first thing you're gonna hear is a tufted capuchin.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Okay, what is that a monkey?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's a monkey. Yeah, you're gonna hear that at a
regular speed.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
This is why I didn't want Kristen to slow herself down,
because you're gonna hear it, and you're just gonna go.
But once you hear it slowed down, you'll start to
hear the breaks in the octaves.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So you want please, well what I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Start paying attention in the order? Yes? I want normal
and slow? Ok, here we go normal. That's normal one
more time. How many octaves are you hearing? There?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Three?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
They're approaching approaching a third. Yeah, that that's what it
sounds like, and kind of sounds like barre like we're
getting into a white cleft song.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's a third octave.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, but you're not. It's it didn't explore that octavit
just got to the start.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'm good with that. That's what subo does.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's it's impressive. Yes, and then so the second slow down.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Blow it down, slow it down, and you can hear there,
what's wrong?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
That was weird?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's what the microplastics guy sounds like.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
The sound like a donkey, But you hear that's three
separate individual voice breaks.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
We'll be here all weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Isn't that cool?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
That was me saying, yes, I think this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What else coming to how we need a fourth for charge?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
The Yes, Kristen, where in the world specifically is this
kind of monkey is.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
This an old versus New World question?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The rainforest?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Now, what about a gorilla? What is his noise or hers?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
We studied Tupton?
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Is that the cracker?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Merry Christmas?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Wait? Can't you do? Can't you do the Star Wars
theme with three keys?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You're thinking of Christmas? Wookie?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Very good, Diane, So you are paying attention?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Or did you just stumble on that Star Wars for
a lesque show? No, No, Empire strips back?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Isn't isn't it? Three? Isn't the Star Wars?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm pulling done done No, because it's.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Done done done. Dun dun don don. That's a lot
more than it's more than three? And then what is
the d dund? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That has nothing to do with my sciences?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
There's that high note there.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know what sucks? I tried to know. I tried
to bring in science.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I tried to do a little sum for everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Kind of sounds like slow, what are you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Though?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But I tried to Like, we learned all about the
sharks and that was awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And I learned about these monkeys now too.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Mareat fun? You organized? I wasn't organized.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I wasn't the only one.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Who else did Kristen tried to yodel? Yeah, he did yodel.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Yeah, well she tried to yodel on the spot after years.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
No, but that, but like yodeling, whoa, Why you.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Think that's yodeling? No wonder you thought she No, but
Kristen's doing a song. Yes, I just want somebody who
can yodel a professional A yodel is a song?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
No? No, but she's doing the one we all know.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh you think that's too generic.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, but like if I stood in a mountain and
just started yodeling.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
All the goat would come to you, goat, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I often with I often say when you wonder if
there's a chance someone.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Nobody listening can yodel?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Zero chance, I too tend to side with that. I
don't know if anyone zero chance is somebody fond of
I'll give somebody a shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'll give somebody a shirt if they can legit, legit yodel.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yes, Christian, do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
You think our opera singer?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, I think she sings opera. I think she's got
a lot of octaves.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Or if she why just because she can yodel.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
She's good at manipulating her voice.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So you think I'm trying to I'm just trying to
think of somebody. You think Josh Grayson Kinn yodel. No,
he's gonna manipulated. He's a singer. He's gonna manipulating his voice.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Also, Christen didn't even mean to say him.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, okay, she said growing just because just because.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You see opera doesn't mean that you can yo. Do
you think Subo kN yodel? I got I got up
in octave? There?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I bet they can do better than me and.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You well, congratulations, Subo, you can yodel better than Elliott?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Where are you on hog calling?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hey, well you see if one ken yodel, I'll give
somebody a shirt.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
If we can get a legit yodler, I would do that.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Who I thought?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Oh, Tajoy was only three notes? Who do I just not?
Maybe maybe the notes I have make a sound off
because the monkey was a little pitchy, not dog, a
little pitchy monk a right eight.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Six six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And you're sitting back.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
What I'm waiting to see if we get a yodeler. Wait,
hold on, yes, Kristen.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, so the guy who was on he wasn't a yodeler,
but he said, we all know somebody who is in
her name is Jewel.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
She does do that, right, didn't she used to do
that on stage?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I know she used to live in a van.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
That was part of her stick.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
She yodeled off stage? Yes, dear god, how pathetic is she?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I don't know if she lived rent free though.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Line one? Here we go.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
What about Mason Ramsey? No, he was a cowboy kid Walmart.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yes, I found him.
Speaker 3 (17:56):

underwear yet with a snake?
Speaker 3 (18:11):

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Hey, how did you learn to do that?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I just I don't know. I knew it's called breaking,
and I know I could do it, So I just
learned some of the riffs.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Dude, that was awesome, and I was betting money against it. Hey,
can I ask you to do me now? I feel
like I'm back with the carol On? Can I ask
