Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. If
you do have comments through the iHeart Radio app and
you have Camoo two one, they can show up on
the air, or they could show up in our podcast.
Here's when they came in. Before we even cracked the
mics this morning. The dubs pointed out moments ago, I'm scared.
I need to hear Chris Carr. Chris are you? What
(00:20):
do you need me to say?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Why are you scared?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
What do you need me to do?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Are you being chased by otters? What I would be
scared if I was being chased by otters?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I asked you a question. Sure would I be your
first call if you're chased by otters? Who would want me?
If they're chased by otters?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So what's the you? Am I running while calling?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or am I probably swimming from right?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh? No, they can?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They can. I'm sure they can. They're like muskrats, aren't that?
What's the difference between a muskrat and otter and a beam?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm glad you asked I love it because you mentioned
that you have muskrats around your house or not your house,
your neighborhood or whatever. Marsh, Yeah, you see them. Around,
and so I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
They're muskrats. Yeah, there muskrats.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So I looked it up because, uh, I was like, well,
aren't they basically otters? But they are actually not, because
muskrats are a type of rat rodent or rodent, but
otters are not.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So here I learn you mustcrat swim because I think.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So, Marsh, I think so. So. Uh, it can be
a little bit confusing. I'm trying to find find it
because we're.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Not prepared for this right now, people listening right now
that are hanging in the balance here waiting for an
answer from Sam Sanze here. I mean, we learned something
on this show every morning.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah? I love it. So.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Otters are in the weasel family, but muskrats are in
the ronan family. So although they look basically very very very.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Similar, there, what do they do that's different?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They well, otters hold each other's hands while they float around.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So there are there os that in my neighborhood. Isn't that, Marsh?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Really?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah? Yeah, they swim together and they're like right before
dusk they're out there swimming together. They're playing, they're having
a blasts. I mean, you can almost hear. You can
almost see.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Common around Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
They don't know, but they're that's what they're doing. They're
like playing with each other. They're rolling there. I think
they're you know, to be honest with you, I think
they're like mating. I think they're uttering. I think they're
making baby otters. They're there every year. They're always in
this marsh. It's like a great, big, expansive marsh. Yeah, right,
part of the Young Creek marshland stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Muskrats look much more I will say, they do look
much more rat like.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I can't get that close to them. I've tried, but
they go scurrying off into the water.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm currently showing that the right on the right. Yeah,
so the picture on the right is an otter. So
I'm holding up a picture of a muskrat and a
picture of an otter, and.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's definitely the one of the right. I've seen them
like run along the side of the marsh, and that's
exactly what they look like. There's otters. There are otters
in Minnesota. Well, there's that picture has ice and snow, right, Yeah,
so you gotta be up here.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, I just didn't really realize that they were around Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, look at on ken you is there a like
a map or it shows like the color coded states who.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Have Yeah, so otters are common in all of northern Minnesota.
Northern that's what it says, and thanks of wetland restoration
are becoming more common again in southern There.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We go and that's where they're at, the Elm Creek
Park Reserve and stuffs where they're at.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Otters are tireless travelers. In a single week, they may
range as far as twenty five miles. Where are they going?
Why do they have to travel so far? Find a
lake and live there?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Because we, the people probably pushed them out. We do
stupid things. That's we have kids with BB guns and
things like no, I mean seriously, we have you know,
we do dumb stuff and then they go bb guns,
guys with flame throwers, Ay, ay, hey, I do not
my flamethrowers strictly for weeds. I just think that now
(03:58):
a little scrol on fire. I have to admit, if
it didn't get her, it'd be fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That was my first thought when Chris said that he
got a flamethrower. Flamethrower because we've joked because with like
the songs that we play and stuff girl, we always
turn into the word squirrel. So it's like I'm on
a kiss the squirrel that kind of thing. And then
I don't know, we just bring up squirrels.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And then when Sam wanted a light one on fire.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't actually want to light squirrel fire. We need
to like preface that I don't want any animal to
song came from.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The Smiths song yeah you set my squirrels on fire?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And then I said, like, how terrifying would that be
if you had a neighborhood full of flaming squirrels.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Imagine just if they had like a talent. If they're
like a super squirrel, like a super like a superhero,
but they're a squirrel, like their tail on fire. Imagine
what that would look like at night?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
See just like glowing flaming squirrels. Imagine. And so that
again people think that when I joke about like goofy things,
I seriously want animals harmed. I do not ever want
animals harmed. Just to be clear, I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I need to hear Chris Carr Grass. Dude, you think
you're scared after listening to that crap? I'm the one
that scared she wants to light squirrels on fire.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I don't want to light squirrels on fire. I want
squirrels to be autonomously flamable, where they choose to be flammable.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We'll both, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I want Yeah, I want them to be like super
squirrels that can choose to be flaming. I don't want
them to be set on fire. I want them to
be like supercharged, magical flame retardant squirrels.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay, we're looking if anybody has any flaming squirrels in
their neighborhood, let us know. Yes, money, Hi, everybody's where
I went. I have a stock pile of nuts, good stuff. Yeah,
well we've officially ruined all that good. Hey yeah, so
(05:58):
where were we talk back? Dropping a drop random comments
on talkback? We'd love to We love to air the
talkbacks and look at where.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
They take us. They take us on such a journey.
That quick, little goofy, funny little clip brought us on
a whole just journey about otters and.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Makes you a star at the same time, because you're
feeding talkback, you get on the air, then you're feeding
the contents. See what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I thought you meant me, and I was like, I
don't think that's true.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
How would you like to be let on fire and
run through the woods.
