Imagine you are in
0:06
ice see waters of the Arctic.
0:09
And you've got a triangular shaped
0:11
head that you can use to crack
0:14
the ice above you and
0:18
you
0:18
can sing low notes,
0:20
high notes, you are
0:23
A bowhead whale.
0:27
And while we don't have a Terrestrials
0:29
for you today, we do wanna
0:31
tell you about and play a short
0:33
excerpt from another podcast for
0:35
kids. That's all about nature that
0:37
we thought listeners of Terrestrials might like.
0:40
So the podcast is
0:42
called Flip and Mozy's Guide
0:44
to How to Be Earthling, and it is hosted
0:47
by two fictional alien
0:49
characters named Flip and Mozy who
0:52
travel down to Earthling explore and
0:54
encounter and learn about all
0:56
the strange creatures that live right here.
0:58
And while the hosts are fictional, all
1:00
the facts and things they are learning about
1:02
the animals are true. The
1:04
idea of the show is that if you wanna
1:06
learn about what's right here alongside
1:09
you, a great way to do that is
1:11
to think about it from another perspective. and
1:13
that perspective is from the idea
1:15
of aliens encountering this place for the
1:17
first time. They've got episodes
1:19
about hermit crabs and prairie
1:21
dogs and tree snakes And the one wanted
1:23
to play for you today is about my favorite
1:26
animal that they've covered so far, the
1:28
bowhead whale. And I'm gonna
1:30
just drop us into the episode a few minutes into
1:32
it after our Earthling aliens,
1:34
Flip and Mozy have just encountered
1:37
a huge bowhead whale.
1:39
and Flip, the first voice you'll
1:41
hear, has just realized that she has a
1:44
question that she can't
1:46
quite keep to herself. We
1:49
were hoping you might be able to tell us how
1:51
exactly you've been able to make it to
1:53
such an old age.
1:55
Flip. Don't be so
1:57
rude.
1:58
That's Mozy. Oh, that's
1:59
alright, darling. I am
2:02
old. And that's the whale. I'm
2:05
two hunt fifty years old.
2:07
Two hundred and fifty, that's not so
2:09
old. I'm three point six
2:11
times older than that. I kill late Mozi's.
2:14
this planet, few creatures live past
2:16
the age of seventy, so to live to
2:18
two hundred and fifty is actually an
2:20
incredible biolog difficult
2:22
feet.
2:23
Look. Oh. So you're like
2:25
super duper old. Well,
2:28
my dear. It's like my mama used
2:30
to say. It's not so much
2:32
about how old you are as it is,
2:34
how you are old. I don't
2:37
let this pretty upside down
2:39
out food. Yeah.
2:41
I've been around the iceberg once
2:43
or twice. But
2:45
this freezing water also can
2:48
schools. Yeah. About how
2:50
you live your days below these
2:52
northern lights.
2:53
Well, I consider them
2:56
as steering us,
2:57
Kamir done. He
2:59
lives his whole life
3:00
in one turn around the sun.
3:02
It's one earthy but he don't
3:05
feel
3:05
any less complete or have less their
3:07
own as bad and shit. What is one
3:09
sweet year upon this plan? It's
3:11
done.
3:28
that
3:45
breathe, but once in the hour. It's
3:47
crazy. Cramp the ice
3:49
with my gigantic cold.
3:52
But it don't matter how long
3:54
you live. If you are on cooperative,
3:57
it's up to you to make sure your
3:59
life's not
4:00
too. Sage
4:07
is only
4:12
be relatively reliable as
4:15
you can live, so make sure you
4:17
make yours as good as gold.
4:20
Because it's not high
4:45
how
4:47
you were old. I don't
4:51
get it. What I think
4:53
miss Whale here is trying to say
4:55
is it doesn't matter how old you
4:57
are in years as long as you are still
4:59
healthy and living your best life.
5:01
Oh, that's exactly how I Flip. And
5:03
please call me Moe.
5:05
Oh, prime. problem. Get
5:09
it. If I had a school of krill
5:11
for every time I heard that.
5:13
A school of craill. What's that?
5:15
Well, it's one of the reasons why I'm
5:17
able to stay so young. Life
5:20
long learning.
5:20
Yeah. You're taking classes at
5:22
this krill school or something? Oh,
5:24
no. No. It's my diet.
5:27
Krill are the small animals that
5:29
I eat and a long much group of
5:31
them is called
5:31
a school. Yay. That must
5:33
have been those little we saw before
5:36
for them. I believe you are correct,
5:39
Yes. That was them. I
5:41
was trying to fit in a little afternoon
5:43
snack. I eat up to two tons
5:45
of food each day. how. And
5:47
I thought I liked this now. Oh,
5:49
look.
5:49
I think I say so now.
