(01:56):
think you could tell by the showthat twenty percent of what we do was
pure gold. Yeah, twenty percentof what we do is the hump Day
camps. So if we had someonethat could sift through the just garbage,
I think we could provide him somegold. I agree. Man, today's
really exciting day. It's a worldotter day. Oh that was gonna be

(02:17):
my answer to the question. Anywayworks out well, world atter day,
not just otter day. Here,world out day, world all around the
world otters comble for me. Um, Which it's just very exciting hotter day.
Um. I went to the zoothe other day with my boys.

(02:38):
We were looking at all the things. You know, I hate the snake
room gives me the heabbs. You'rejust like snakes does make me laugh,
makes me very uncomfortable. I hatethat room so much. She's just a
snake in my yard at least oneprobably was a snake in my boot.
Um and I. After the afterthe snake room, we were going up
to hill to make our way tothe lions. And there's this little sh

(02:59):
sh ship that's what I went tocall it, a little shack that has
just signed on a says stay outNinjas. It says Ninja's on it,
so stay out. Yeah. That'sand all those vultures for the scavenger hun
remember I remember, Unfortunately you tookthe vultures from the zoo. Do they

(03:22):
know no? I hide them atthe zoo to keep them starving, and
so, uh, it says stayon Ninja's. I went in. Any
ways, there was a guy therenamed Lucky. Lucky Lucky said, pick
a card to any card, picka card, any card. I said,
okay, Lucky. I picked acard. It was the King of
King of Hearts, the King ofHearts. And he said, you're the

(03:45):
King of my heart. And Isaid this is getting weird, Lucky,
I'm gonna leave now. I turnedaround to walk out, and he said,
wait a second, and I said, yes, Lucky, he said,
Dan knows about world ter day.So you walk into this room,
somebody says a card you don't immediatelywalk out. If you walk into a
room that says stay out and someone'sin there with a deck of cards just

(04:06):
staring in your face and goes picka card, you don't immediately walk introduced
himself first, he said I'm lucky, pick a card. Yeah, And
then you picked a card and hesaid you're the king of my heart.
And then you still then you didwalk out out. I do know about
National Hotter Day, um, andit's kind of an unfortunate story if we're

(04:28):
being honest. Um. Uh.Jason Derulo, Jason Derulo, Jason Derek
Derringer Uh worked for Little Damn Uhworked for Little Debbie way back in the
nineteen thirties and forties. UM,and he was convinced that otters were the

(04:51):
wave of the future. He thoughtthey were delicious. Um. He thought
that they were a natural snack,provided good protein and fat. And he
came up with a candy bar calledthe Otter Botter and Otter Otter Botter and
it was these, uh, thesewafer candies shaped like robots stuffed with ground

(05:15):
otter m and it was like akitcat texture, like a nutty buddy kitcat
kind of texture. The Otter botterUm and Little Debbie. Obviously, it
was like that's not okay. We'renot going to serve ground otter to anyone.
And he was like, I willdie on this hill and they were
like, yes, you will,and they fired him immediately. And so

(05:38):
Jason Deringer tried to go solo withthe Otter Botter m. Much to his
chagrin, people did not want toeat ground Otter. And so, in
his honor or really to fly inthe face of everything, Jason Deringer stood
for They the people created National OtterDay, World Otter Day. Back to

(05:58):
you, Brandon, you know youbrought up Little Debbie. And I don't
know if you know this or not, Dude, Brot, there is us.

six on six. But he washe grew up in a house made of
little Debbie and so he is heis orci fat like he is very very

(06:24):
he's a big, big man umAnd there's nothing wrong with that. But
I mean, when you grow upin a house made of Little Debbie's,
you know you're gonna end up beingkind of a scat jazz kind of singer.

(08:09):
has taken us. Uh what isit seven months we've been doing the show.
Yeah, to get Brett Debbie.That's right, and really in the
long, in the grand scheme ofthings, almost you know, eighteen to
nineteen ninety two, over three yearsto get to Brett Debbie in general on
a podcast, when we used toqueue that up all the time. That's
a shame. That's a shame.I love the Brett Debbie bet. We're

(08:31):
gonna take a quick break. WorldOutter Day was founded by the International Auto
Survival Fund in two thousand and nine, celebrated every year on the last Wednesday
of May. It was star started. It started as Utterly Mad Week,
changed to International Auto Awareness Day intwenty fourteen before settling, and there's been

(08:52):
a lot of changes before settling onWorld Outter Day in twenty sixteen. I
want to know what happened to makethe change for International Auto Awareness Day to
World Otter Day, But we don'thave that. We're not privy to that.
The information we weren't flies on thosewalls. Um Otters are found on
every continent except Australia and our Arctica, and the fundraises awareness for those animals

(09:16):
and their habitats. M So celebratetoday by finding a wildlife organization to donate
to watch some cute otters and havea fun time doing this. I love
it. We're gonna take a quickbreak. We'll be right back here and
talk about your favorite animals to seeat the zoo down Well that, oh

(09:43):
yeah, so this question. Itdoesn't give us a lot of story in
the question. It's just an answerwhat's your favorite animal to see at the
zoo? Mine if you got honors. The otters are pretty cool to see
at the zoo. We were atthe South Carolina Aquarium of our vacation.
There were two new that they had, and they were a ton of fun
to watch. They're like like seapuppies. They're great underwater dogs. It's

(10:05):
fantastic. What about you. Imean, whenever I can see a lion,
it is a wondrous moment. Wow, They're just just amazing creatures.
I have a hard time going tozoos and some aquariums. When I was
on vacation, I went to aplace called golf World. Golf World is

(10:28):
one of the saddest places I've everbeen. Just made me bummed, bummed
out. Then I went to theGeorgia Aquarium. Fantastic, it's amazing.
Yeah. Well, the South CarolinaAquarium is all rehab so like the animals
in there are like rehab And Isaid, swim, swim, swim.
That's a fish. It was goodthough, It was good. Yeah.

(10:52):
Yeah, it's what they rehab seagreen sea turtles and they release them everybody
in there. Like there's a turtlethey found in South Carolina. It's not
native to South Carolina, so theygave it its own habitat. So like,
it's a really cool way to doit. But some of those places
do bump me out, becoming likethis is just animal. When I see
a line, I'm like, thisis an amazing creature. I feel bad
that it should go buck Wold andsaid, you're just sitting sitting here on

(11:16):
this rock for me and my sonto look at and be like, Yo,
that's sweet, so cool, cool, lie so tough. But hopefully
they're being taken care of. Hopefully. Yell Andy says, prairie dogs.
She finds them very entertaining. Iwould agree with that statement. Prairie dogs.
Yeah, Genus is a red panda. Those are fun. A lot
of people say the drafts, Alot of people say the penguins. Penguins

(11:37):
are a fun one. But thething about penguins is I think about that
movie Happy Feet. Yeah, everytime, that's too bad. You want
to talk about a stone cold stunnerof Happy Feet with twenty minutes left in
that bad boy for all the kidsout there, wakes up after being drugged
to find himself in a zoo,and then it becomes a very very serious.

(12:03):
What are we doing to animals?Bit? And holy cow did the
kids not see it coming in theface? You get one nice dance number
at the very end, and Ithink that's at the beginning, and Robin
Williams is in there doing his thing. A lot of people say, panta
pantas are pretty cool. Um,Fiona the hippo, that's a very specific
one, Laurie, and I appreciatethat. Uh. Sarah says York's Wild

(12:26):
Kingdom is a zoo in Maine,pretty much the only one I've ever been
to, and I like the monkeysin the wand bast you've only been to
one zoos. Hey, what's thebiggest zoo in the United States? I
actually know this answer? Um,Central Park, it actually is. That's
the cool thing. Hey, everybodystarted for another day here Tony's pub the

(13:07):
Red Body. My name is BrettDebbie. What are you doing to safe

be fair, Google's mixed on this. You can measure zoos very many different

(13:31):
ways, number of animals acreage byacreage, The Philadelphia Zoo largest. San
Diego is up there. So theCentral Park has the most animals? Is
that how they? I don't know. I've heard that, but I can't
find that as the correct answer hereanyway, So maybe that's wrong. Maybe
my answers wrong. La ten Riverbanksin Columbia nine. Wow, I've been
