OBA Episode 44 - Bazooka Dabbler

On Being Animals

This is a great episode, it hits all the notes that On Being Animals should: philosophy, genitals. Every single note. The guest for this episode is an open minded sweetheart named Andrew. He’s not much to look at, but he’s a great guest. Together, we learned about the good, the bad, and the ugly of an animal we like to call the Bazooka Dabbler. Along the way we get into the taste of poop, the righteous sword of compassion, and the sexiness of back hair.

Most Egregious Error: I made a lot of errors. I took a note to remind Andrew about some sort of individualized teaching thing and forgot to bring it back up. Bergman’s rule is named after a German Naturalist named Carl Bergman. The woman scientist who’s name I couldn’t remember is Patricia Brennan. A chimp did have sex with a frog’s mouth. The passing of male traits in birds is best explained a youtube video titled “Why Are Bird Penises So Weird”.

Science level: We finished our bottle of white wine around the 30 minute mark, so no scientific homeruns in this one folks. But we do get silly. We had a lot of fun.
