The episode opens with an original musical performance exploring themes of resilience and identity in the face of public scrutiny [0:27–4:50]. A comedic music parody follows featuring a romantic competition scenario [5:24–8:44]. The host then engages in casual banter with chat, discussing Bart Baker parodies and personal grievances [8:45–13:01]. Guest Noel arrives ▶ 17:05, and the host and Noel discuss her activities, her cat, and her family while interacting playfully with chat participants [17:05–26:03]. The host plays Bart Baker music parodies and commentary [26:46–31:38]. The episode features extended educational content from Z Frank's "True Facts" series about sea pigs [32:29–36:00], nudibranchs [36:02–41:57], and mudskippers [45:40–51:04], interspersed with comedic tangents and chat interaction. A comedic phone conversation with an unnamed participant discussing various topics occurs [42:02–45:38]. The episode concludes with the host preparing to visit another location or stream [51:54–52:16].
This episode appears to represent a departure from the show's typical consciousness and tarot focus, instead emphasizing entertainment and community engagement over esoteric exploration. The extended use of educational animal content and music parodies suggests the host may be experimenting with content variety or responding to production constraints. The frequent asides about being blamed for various infractions, criticisms about past actions, and defensiveness about content creation choices suggest themes of perceived persecution or misunderstanding within the community. The casual, playful interactions with guests and chat appear designed to prioritize accessibility and humor over the structured inquiry characteristic of earlier episodes.

to my face with borrowed ink. A stranger wearing my own name. Every whisper found a hungry crowd. Every spark became a flame. They say they know what's in my heart. Like they live beneath my skin. But no one sees the deepest nights or WHERE THESE SCARS HAVE BEEN.
You can build a thousand stories. You can paint me black and blue. But no LIE CAN CHANGE A person that I know it's true. I'm not afraid. I'm not the monster they created. I'm not the shadows they keep chasing. I'm just a human being. And I
laugh, I cry, I break, I heal. Every wound is something real. If no one's standing next to me, I still stand. Honestly, you don't have to understand. I'm still here.
I'm still a man.
The silence echoes out and now then every voice that call my name. Friends became familiar go and nothing feels the same. I feel abandoned in the storm. Like I'm talking to the rain. Wondering if anyone can still see through the pain.
Every night I ask the darkness. Is there someone listening? Then I hear my own answer. You survived everything. I'm not afraid. I'm not the monster they created. I'm not the labels they repeated.
I'm just a human being. And I carry hope inside these scars. Searching underneath the stars. Even if I'm standing alone, this broken heart still beats its own. You don't have to understand.
I'm still here. I'm still a man. >> >> I won't become the hate they need. I won't surrender who I am. I'd rather walk through fire alone then let
revenge become my hand. Take me someday to the rise quietly without a sound. Maybe all the stones they threw. We'll build the higher ground. I'm not afraid.
I won't disappear in silence. I will surrender to the violence. I'm just a human being. I never claim to be a saint, but I won't wear the mask they paint. If the whole world turns away, I'll still have something left to say. I'm not what they say I am. I'm more than every
accusation. I'm more than someone else's story. I'm fleshing, but I'm hoping hurt. I'm trying to find my way.
And if I'm walking by myself tonight, I'll keep walking toward the light because I'm still alive.
I'm still alive and no one gets to tell me who I am.
>>

I'm sure that was a doctor type that can't be a real person. Um anyway I don't want to be so mean. I know but I don't know. Apparently, I steal I all I do is like, you know, she makes content. I just steal content. I mean, I've only done how many thousand thousand thousands of hours without even
a mention of her, but I don't know. Like, apparently I'm a I don't know. I just I must be like the most evil person in the world, you know? Guys, aren't I evil? I don't know. So, oh gosh. Um, here you can see my alien.
There's my alien from Spunky. See, he's holding a cat. There's my screen. You can see I am. Hi, guys. See me? Okay. Alien. I notice alien looks like a praying mantis. And so, we were watching some fun stuff the other day. I thought I thought we could watch some more. You guys like seeing um crazy animals? I
want to do the sea pig again. The sea pig is like my new favorite animal. Have you guys ever heard of the sea pig? Okay, I'll show you if you haven't seen it. So, this is by some kind named Z Frank. You're going to be you're going to be
impressed, I think. So, this is true facts about the sea pig. Okay? And I want you to enjoy here. This is true facts about the sea pig. There we go. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. There we go.
And there we go. There's a sea pig. Here we will explore true facts about the sea pig. Here is a picture of a land pig. As you can see, they are virtually indistinguishable from the sea pig. One way to tell the difference is that bacon from a land pig tastes delicious, while bacon from a sea pig
tastes like a fish farted on a dirty beach cracker. Another way is to simply ask it whether it's a sea pig. If when you ask your mouth fills up with seaater, then you're probably an idiot because the sea pig lives deep in the abyss of the ocean. The sea pig is a type of sea cucumber. This is stock
video of a sea cucumber which has been downloaded one time by me. This is a picture of a land cucumber. As you can see, they're virtually identical. If you get confused, check to see if your cucumber is breathing through its anus. Because unlike land cucumbers, sea cucumbers breathe through their anuses.
As you might have guessed, this is no ordinary run-of-the-mill commonplace anus. Sea cucumbers have a cloica. Think of it as a multi-purpose orifice for breathing, pooping, baiting, and any other orifice related needs you might have. Convenient. Not what I would have chosen. Personally, I'm quite happy with my arrangement. I'm a man who likes a
bit of distance between the breathing and the pooping, but no judgments. As my mother used to say, a hole is a hole. Wow. In this context, that really sounds pretty bad. Retraction. In any case, the many uses of the cloa did not escape the pearl fish, which has formed a symbiotic relationship with the sea cucumber. It
hides inside the sea cucumber's butt, where it feeds and gains protection. The sea cucumber, meanwhile, has a fish in its butt. Win-win. The sea cucumber has a remarkable defensive adaptation. When attacked, it violently contracts its muscles and jettisonens its internal respiratory organs out of its anus in a
process known as evisceration. Needless to say, the predator becomes confused. To understand this, imagine that you are getting mugged and in response, you pull your pants down bento. Actually, I don't think this really helps. Further down in the depths, the little understood sea pig uses hydraulic pumps that inflate
its legs full of water as it marches on the ocean floor in search of detritus and whale carcasses to eat. Because it is so mushy mushy, the sea pig is a host of parasites like small snails and crustaceians which burrow into it and feed on its insides. Bummer. Fortunately, the sea pig doesn't really
have a brain, so it probably doesn't care. Remember, if someone scares you, just bend over and fart your lungs all over that bastard. Who knows, it might just work. >> It's the thing.
>> This is Suzie. Susie is in the class gastropota, which encompasses snails and slugs. Specifically, and by specifically I mean specifically, and by and by, I mean Nby, Suzie is a type of sea slug called a nutubbrank. There are around 3,000 freaky species of nutubbranks, but they come in two basic body plans. One
body plan can be seen in the earlid nudie branks. They can look a bit like clayian pubic hair or like a porcupine rolled around in candy corn. Their backs are covered with floppy floppy spiky things called serata. These serata are extensions of their digestive system because why not? But they also assist in
breathing. The other body plan belongs to the dorid nudie brank. It is the more sluggy of the two. Dorid nudie branks have a sturdy fleshy fleshy covering called a mantle. The mantle can sometimes look like a frilly skirt or perhaps a fashionable poncho. Some species like the Spanish dancer
nudiebrank can use this skirt to swim sort of. Some other nudie branks also try the swimming swimming, but in most cases it looks a bit like a muppet simultaneously auditioning for the part of the fu and n in a Sesame Street production brought to you by the word fun. It does actually look fun to swim
like that, like sneezing in outer space. Up front, nutubbranks have two rhinophores, which are kind of like nostrils that have been turned inside out. Much like our noses can pick up the chemical signals of a fart wafting in the air, these rhinophores can pick up chemical signals in the water. This is important because their eyes totally
suck. They are very tiny and can only sense dark and light. Like a colorblind machinist in a Skittles factory, the nutubbrank is unable to appreciate the beauty of its own decoration. This one looks a bit like a landspeeder. Woah. Except near the back where you would expect the peoples to sit. That is a
plume of gills that encircle their anus. These gills are beautifully folded structures that maximize surface area to extract oxygen from the surrounding water. These allow the dorid nudibbrank to breathe. right next to its anus. Before you judge, however, to the nutubbrank, this body plan might feel like an upgrade. To understand this,
let's look at some nutubbranks when they are babies. Little baby nutubbranks look a lot like snails. They have a shell, and some even form an operculum, a little trap door for their hidey-hole. A long time ago, the shelled ancestor of snails and slugs got into some freaky called torsion. Torsion is a twisted
change in body plan. To understand this, imagine if you laid down on your stomach and arched your back. Then you grabbed your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left hand. Now imagine twisting really hard so that your butt faces upwards and is right over your face. This is the first yoga pose they teach you when you arrive in
hell. Snails live out their lives cheerfully with this arrangement. Don't ask why. Every time you ask why evolution adds or removes a nipple from a cat, look it up. However, millions of years ago, after a night of eating jalapeno chili conc carne, the ancestor of the nutubbrank had enough of this head up your butt. As it transitions to
its juvenile state, the baby nutubbrank loses its shell, untwists, and does its best to put all of its organs back in some semblance of order. That is to say that the nutubbrank is a bit of an unsnailed snail. And at least its mouth and nose have a bit of distance from its gill ringed anus. And yes, that one does
look like a Pikachu that got busy with a Swiffer. The Nutubbrank's mouth parts are under its front parts, right between a befingered mustachio of two feeding tentacles that can help it feel around for food. They eat a variety of animals, many of which, like colonial tunicquets, brizzoans, and hydroids, are animals
that look like plants. Because the ocean is weird. They are among the cutest carnivorous predators and will even eat other slugs and nutubbranks. This one's eating a slug called a sea hair because apparently it looks like a rabbit. A rabbit who's squirt farting purple ink because he's seriously. If we speed it up, it looks like he's slurping a
noodle. >> Eat with a beak and aula, which is basically a tongue with teeth on it, which is crazy. Don't French kiss a noodle brank. You'll die. Here we see an anemy being hunted by a rainbow nudybrank, which does not look like a rainbow at all. More like a curtain that
a cat got to, but it strikes with the vigor of a proctologist who lost a wedding ring. That's like trying to tongue sponge the crumbs out of the bottom of a can of Pringles. One group of nutubbranks in the genus Menabe has evolved a different feeding strategy. It has traded in its tooth tongue radula for a head in the shape of a Venus fly trap. It uses its
head like a seafloor pooper scooper. Like if you used your hoodie to eat a shrimp taco. A skeleton shrimp taco. Lacking a shell. Sea slugs including nudie branks and this spotted sea hair which does not look like a rabbit must get creative when it comes to defense from predation. Some have evolved to be very good at camouflage.
You see these cows? I tricked you. They're not cows. They're nutranks. You thought they were cows. Must feel like a real dumb man. >> This one is perfectly camouflaged as an old man with his hands behind his back inspecting his garden. Dad plug beating my Aelas. That's irony. You better stop or I will assault you. That's a dad
joke. >> Okay. Hey, >> what's up? >> Is that my boyfriend's dick? >> What's up? Can you hear me? >> Yeah. What's going on? >> What's up with you? >> Where are you? Are you in your You're in your car? >> No. >> Are you eating your Oh, you're not Where
are you? In your bedroom. You have a You have a wheel like that in your bedroom. >> Yeah, I do, actually. >> Amazing. Okay. Um, so what what are you eating? >> I'm eating ass. >> Oh my god. Who's >> mine? >> I'm eating some ass right now.
>> Okay. Well, so what's going on? Where have you been working all day? >> I No, I don't work. >> You don't work. You just drive around your car. >> Other people pay for my living expenses. >> You are you are you coming over to my house tonight? >> I have psyche pay for my living expenses back. >> You do?
>> You know how much I pay? I pay I pay for you to be homeless. I I pay I pay somebody else $10 a month not to rent to you. It's a perfect >> Hello. >> Bang. >> Bang. Bang. Bang. Hey. Oh, what's that song? What's that kill Bill song? Bang bang. Or that song.
>> Bang. Bang. I'm going to put it in your ass. Bang. >> No thank you. I already ate. I'm like one of those those sea creatures I eat through my butt. You're door dashing. >> Nah, I don't do that. >> You're grub hubbing. >> Nah, I don't do that. >> Yeah, you do. Well, why is there a big um takeout bag of food with somebody
else's name on it in your driver's seat or passenger seat? >> I see. I see it. I can see it reflecting your glasses, you >> Why is there a black guy here? >> Cuz you're here. I I can't help it. Thanks. You look like an old lady driving kind of. You remind me like an old lady like with those glass or
>> I'm driving right now. >> Oh yeah, you're in your bedroom. >> I don't drive. I don't know how to drive. I don't have a license. >> I'm going to call the cops on you then. >> Oh, there's a little cat here. Oh, >> pick it up. >> Oh, this little cat's like lost. >> Get it. Go pick it up and save it. Oh,
>> you drove >> across the street. >> It ran across the street. Okay. Well, it's gone forever. Well, >> >> So, what's up with music? See, I I think I have one of your boyfriends here, dude. His name was um Squid Squidward. You're dating this guy name Squidward? >> Oh, yeah. >> You are? >> That's cool. >> You're attracted to men?
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Me, too. >> Yeah, totally. That's awesome. >> What happened with M glow in yourself? I mean, >> there was a little there was a little uh black cat. >> A >> It did. Oh, are you sure it wasn't your just your pubic hair? Your pants.
>> Bang. >> Bang. Okay. Well, anything else to add or you just gonna make on sequis? >> Hey, okay, come back another time. See, we're trying to be educated on like, you know, like different animals right now. I don't have time to listen to you say
bang bang for the next, you know, 25 minutes. But, um, how about a mud skipper? Have you ever seen you ever seen Gilligan's Island? There's a skipper on Gilligan's Island. But this is a mud skipper right here. You want to see a mud skipper? See, I'll let you back up to watch it with me if you want, but hold on a second. I'm going to let the mud skipper first here. Okay.
Oh Hold on. You're back with me. Okay. We're going to watch about the mud skipper. Okay. >> You'll learn something. Want to watch the part with the old lady that >> skippers look a bit like a profile picture of a middle-aged divorced dad on Tinder chilling poolside in Cabo just
had the guacamole # spicy. However, Leonard is a very special fish. Leonard Mudskippers are a fish that spend a portion of their day living out of the water. Most fish, if you take them out of the water, become a bit of a downer. And by that I mean dead. But Leonard isn't dead because Leonard can breathe
air. He can do this through his specialized skin and by gulping air into his mouth parts which are lined with blood vessels very close to the surface. Getting around isn't easy. If your basic body plan is designed to do floaty floaty in the water, gravity can be a bit of a Our fish ancestors had bony muscular fins.
that could evolve into strong limbs and elbows to help push against gravity as they crawled onto shore. Jerry, what is this footage? I'm talking about an ancient fish crawling out of the Well, this isn't better. Yes, I can see she's crawling, Jerry, but she's a person. All right. Well, that's a dead fish, but mud skippers come from a different evolutionary line of fish. Fish with floppier webbed fins. Excellent
demonstrating, Leonard. The same line that led to the goldfish. And I'm not judging the goldish. I know it's hard with the pingpong balls, the state fair, and the toilet flushing, but you wouldn't really ask a goldfish to help you move apartments, but Mudskipper don't give a crap what line he's from. Mudskipper will use the parts he was given with a few little modifications.
Its pelvic fins on the bottom are fused to form a sort of suction cup. This allows them to hold on to surfaces and even climb. Imagine what you could climb if you had sticky nipples. a casual stroll. The muds skipper employs a movement called crutching, which looks a little like trying to get to the remote after squat stay at the gym. It props
itself up with its pelvic fins and then pulls itself forward with its pectoral fins, dragging its motionless tail behind. But if the going gets rough or it needs a bit of extra speed, the tail springs into action, it curls and digs in and helps propel the body forward. Wo there, tiger. Sorry, I have to show you
the leaping blenny. It's a different fish that uses A SIMILAR MOVEMENT, BUT >> AND SOMETIMES THE twist gets a little out of control. It just looks fun. >> Having speed and good ups helps if you're a carnivore, which many muds skippers are. >> It's like he's smoking a little cigar.
>> Yeah. See, but eating on land brings another challenge for the fish. Here, try this. Lie down on your stomach in front of a chicken nugget. Now try and swallow that nugget without using your tongue. I can see you're not doing it. Well then don't start thinking about your tongue. Don't concentrate on the big fleshy sluglike thing filling up your mouth. In any case, the muds
skipper doesn't have a tongue. So to swallow on land, the muds skipper seems to use water that it stores in its mouth parts as a kind of hydro tongue. It pushes water out of its mouth as it grabs its food and then it kind of sucks it all back in. And the water helps transport the food back towards the tummy parts. Now to prove that it was
the water, they did it again, but this time they put the food on, I quote, the center of always ultraanormal plus sanitary pads. With the water absorbed, the food could not make its way back to the tum tum. And the muds skipper has an interesting story to tell his friends. Science. The muds skipper needs water. It is a fish after all, and it likes to
be moist. Like that drip of sweat rolling down the small of your back into your butt crack because you decided to wear jeans on that hike. Sort of moist. Moist like testicles in a freezing pool. Its eyeballs can retract into dermal cups that retain water TO KEEP THEM MOIST. FOR protection and mating, the muds skipper digs burrows
with its mouth. One of the bummers of not being able to use a shovel. They are very territorial animals. Sometimes a simple dorsal fin displays enough to ward off a trespasser, but other times a
>> Oh. When it's time to lay eggs, the male and female retreat into the burrow. The eggs are placed in an air fil chamber because the surrounding water lacks oxygen. When it's hatching time, the male gulps the air out of the chamber. Submerged in water, the muds skipper babies can hatch and swim up and out of their hideyholes to the surface.
Remember, just because you don't have the big bony musly fins doesn't mean that you can't do incredible things with what you were given. That is how the mud skipper do. >> Amazing. >> Just had first date with Karen. She's very assertive. Love it. She got us free
dessert because her true facts is not appropriate for children or adults who don't act like children. Here in the coral reef among these beautiful ocean plants, there hides a seaworm. Wait, what? The brightly colored things are the worms. Okay, still beautiful, but now I feel like vomiting. >> It's kind of like love. Imagine if one
lived in your nostril. You'd be the fanciest lad at the party. These creatures are in the class polyeta. They are referred to as Christmas tree worms or spyro brankus giganteas. Given the fact that they are on average one, >> guys. Let's do that. >> Guys, we're going to see if she wants us
to wants me over there or that person's fooling me. 150 Costco Gizzy. Is that that is that Hold on. Is that a Q or does he say Tizzy? Okay, let's go to Onyx Blue. Onyx Blue. uh 88. We'll see if she really wants me over there, but if not, I'll be back over here. I'll go over there for a little bit. Come and check it out.
