not going to be a lot of pragmatic advice.

Know how to be only sweet. We've left that

1:17

to go in this question to I could have

is wonders of the solar system. And it

1:35

was going to be me on Gardeners question

1:37

time. You both go that northern sense of

1:40

wonder haven't Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, we're going

1:42

to skimp on the information that you'd have.

1:44

a garden is question time but not skin

1:51

is neat crow know or like. I like

1:53

watching darts and I liked sneaker or lot.

1:55

Any of the solitary games are like the

games with existential anxiety and talking about. You

2:00

also gotta talk about the immortality of

2:02

mix fruits. As many people assume may

2:05

know if you don't know the mortality

2:07

an aimless Houthi Fruits has been, a

2:09

stick of rock is run free. Oh

2:11

Twenty Nine. same as insane as a

2:13

viewer a fruit need have to say

2:15

Swinney the existential challenge of immortality. Oh

2:17

a blackberry for the seen. So much

2:19

license, so much death and so many

2:22

of it's friends turned into Jan Fifth.

2:24

I think he just given actually be

2:26

a terrible tragedy to be a in

2:28

immortal black person. I think. He would

2:30

brian as be very messy thought to

2:32

dissect said as there is nothing he

2:34

likes more on a Sunday morning, them

2:36

popping on these wellington boots, rolling up

2:46

out eve. less debate near the nose

2:49

and I see the nosy scold him

2:51

on my statue. Yes solid gold. Where.

2:53

We start with horticultural comedian

2:55

and then. Find. Out

2:58

what really defines of plants

3:00

from plant scientists Chain Langdale.

3:02

I think we can say that a

3:04

plant is a multicellular organisms that is

3:06

in the lineage most closely. Related to

3:08

green algae. I'm

3:11

surprised that that complicated a definition Many

3:13

I want to say something that alive

3:15

that's not an animal. Said

3:19

I was not an animal. It's not a virus

3:21

is not Fungus is non animal. know about viruses

3:23

and live on the other live virus. it's not

3:25

a fungus thing is a bit of a tricky

3:27

one for me. I always thought that fungus was

3:29

a plant and well as a job with an

3:31

idiot. Assess

3:34

the yeah the up to cover that and third

3:37

year I got. Cancer Second city vegetarian

3:39

shouldn't eat Some guy doesn't deny.

3:41

thing is that means these Muslims

3:43

who be vegetarians are hypocrites. Yes,

3:45

are you more closely related to

3:47

animals? The mail to plants. So.

3:52

The set set it to the

3:54

community civic some we share a

3:56

common ancestor with a fungus the

3:58

to be before the despite between

4:00

plants and else came before fungus

4:02

and correct Sir Edwin to give

4:04

you that Sunday supplement. What was

4:06

it was the correct surmises some

4:08

guys made from Guy Sunday Sunday

4:10

is it fondly of fun to

4:12

your fungi depends on the it

4:15

is our i learned so I

4:17

really was wondering an Italian pizza

4:19

oven out. There

4:22

are you. A. Plan to replant.

4:24

Oh. I'm of

4:27

plants. He's of the sale plant

4:29

plant. That

4:34

nine minutes into episode Bronco fans say

4:36

and started screaming swears the physics, where's

4:39

the sake of physics is everything and

4:41

heart by the Starbucks in a space

4:43

for nine separate in ultimately as business

4:45

lobbies everything in a very simple by

4:48

so yeah for real complex the offing

4:50

inequality death. Or depends on

4:52

the definition of complex. Disagreed Anyway,

4:54

we broke a gym out lately

4:57

and James Landale consider the Intelligence

4:59

of grass and it's quantum superpowers

5:01

to have grass for instance described

5:03

as a quantum computer that suddenly

5:06

you know changes have you have

5:08

a gold in quieten on narcissistic

5:10

constitute to you know any has

5:13

to make these. When. I

5:15

don't address is a narcissistic class. See

5:17

what else are going to find out

5:19

right? Grass mean why the questions you

5:21

going to Ransacked wasn't happy to dismount,

5:24

I just browse. He just might grassy.

5:26

So go over intelligence. Such small still

5:28

that com to behave and what's he

5:31

do? it just remains growing ridiculous. Uses

5:33

wanting to Pc abilities. the other things

5:35

one well I don't know. funny at

5:37

the kind of questions team's going. physics

5:40

it's really hard stuff. Your

5:43

mom city physics is. Only say

5:45

that because he doesn't. It's analysis

5:47

largest city. In

5:50

this instance, it said that is

5:52

Robbins and Prejudice against grants or

5:54

ultimately. Will

5:56

reveal the as the visit and and I did

5:59

he just plan. You know we will

6:01

see the title of this that monks

6:03

tasting say welcome to plan to visit

6:05

the day. Complicated organisms, extremely complex summer

6:08

sale and nice up to evolve. Quite.

6:11

Intricate ways of being. More

6:13

plastic them we'll for example. So

6:15

if. If we get hit knocked

6:17

over an hour on gets taken off,

6:19

it won't get pulled back of the

6:21

Se, take a branch elsa trail replant.

6:24

it'll just grow it again. It's.

6:26

Plastic. It takes whatever. The environment froze last

6:28

it it can't run away and it just

6:30

retains it's growth program to pending what's happening.

6:32

So if the lights coming from one side

6:35

it grows towards this. if the lights coming.

6:37

From above grows up. If it's senses

6:39

gravity, it's upside down at the. Turn

6:41

round and or the other way and it's

6:43

a blessing when it's very interesting the plants

6:45

in that with that whole thing of like

6:47

photo tropism yes they say is that it

6:49

turns I was aware of her day with

6:52

a guy and co trust and Gould is

all comedians as invaders. basically culturally I'm

10:26

I'm spending a lot of times I

Grace girls got this disease or these to

12:07

think of a out competed them succeed but

12:09

us they they just wipe them out with

12:11

a horrible disease. In a series

12:14

twenty three rest the question which is better that's

12:16

or slices it which are better A which is

12:18

best for who a better make it was my

12:20

was present don't know about the who has yet

12:22

again we still don't know series and things it

12:25

is like to be about but that and via

12:27

echo location or idea xd perhaps no movie. Found

12:29

ourselves on a tangent when entomologist to Eric Mcallister

12:31

and fast I just started arguing that mosquitoes and

12:34

just how many it would take to kill you

12:36

you'd been under mosquito net have a new did

12:38

you end up with a part in your mouth

12:40

with some yes it was the bat that was

12:42

trying to kill another mosquitoes if the house will

12:45

big enough for a back to get him and

12:47

didn't go into the bit that you get out

12:49

of second get. I don't. See. What

12:51

protects Mister Mosquito has been didn't protect me

12:54

from the bans. I'm kate times I'm possessed.

12:56

Every. Holiday and Biodiversity at

Invest in College London. and

13:01

I guess if I had

13:03

to say. My. Favorite.

13:06

Sly. I would

13:08

probably gay said the maze Dangerous

13:10

animal on the planet. Which.

13:12

Is a mosque he has not. It's

13:15

not know, it's nice. I thought

13:17

mosquitoes word the most dangerous

13:19

trend. On it says that says

13:21

but a mosquito itself see doesn't

13:23

kill you. See. Can't blame her

13:26

is just the in a mother doing what

13:28

is on the planet disease and you will

13:30

have an adult has c. O

13:33

Stop by the flat that you know

13:35

everything going on this plasmodium no one

13:37

has ago. Then. Scientists

13:39

plus they them as as I know the other

13:41

things that take advantage. Over

13:44

to the site sang D C than

13:46

second good yeah I know that. Really

13:48

nice the air and virus thought you

13:50

know you saying that he thinks it

13:52

must be the land on he had

13:54

as well tests and see. If

13:56

both, one. Case that Lisa learn about

13:58

this. The sleeves is love. More Please. Try

14:01

to in the planes and human. Again,

14:05

Snow. And has now that and seats

14:07

are things you know. Many

14:10

things see entomology playing the victim

14:12

to my success. Well. I was

14:15

how it is easy like the anyway

14:17

mosquito to kill you personally it's exam

14:19

what I use a drain you of

14:21

blood now it would take about four

14:23

hundred and fourteen thousand mosquitoes in one

14:25

feeding of and. To. Drain you of

14:28

blood enough for you to die, and we

14:30

physically don't have that much skin. Was.

14:33

Unforgettable. The good things mosquitoes

14:35

do is to pollinate plans

14:37

and he fact we learned

14:39

that they're the most important

14:41

pollinators as Krakow. So.

14:44

Remember that next time you worry about

14:46

chocolate. It's an interesting them of the

14:48

mosquito thing again way so often assume

14:50

a base review certain creatures as being

14:52

a hindrance are being an annoyance and

14:54

then you as you go. If they

14:56

were removed from life on earth, then

14:58

suddenly there's no Mars bars for you.

15:00

Yeah, and this. Episode.

15:02

Was a battle between backs and

15:05

slice. The. Other big problem: Isis

15:09

the praises of flies. She does

15:11

love flies. There's. A. Lot of flies that

Honestly though pay had no I assume

15:31

and. As. Much

15:33

a pc to suddenly that was common ground.

15:35

I'm only an initial assessment on a second

15:38

real as a movie hang up or know,

15:40

admit mills and do my own. As far

15:42

as yeah, He's

15:44

a winless sliced living on bass.

15:46

And they give passive wanna give birth to

15:49

like young so the flies themselves get pregnant.

less. One on the things is where

17:09

imports know. If you have me Eric

17:11

Mcallister he she hates the term creepy

17:13

crawly but she would then tell you

17:15

the creepiest and cruel earliest stories about

17:18

flurries. any particular maggots, right? You know

17:20

a com tell the story squad know

17:22

it's all I can say is that

17:25

the end of the sewers she went

17:27

and weirdly the man didn't do anything

17:29

about it until the maggots were moving

17:31

around inside the such. As

17:34

long as a site vivid yep in

17:36

the next episode will be looking at

17:38

extraterrestrial life. We. Don't know there is

17:40

any costs of if I show episode we can be

17:42

looking. Says can be very long

17:44

as looking for every quite the opposite way way.

17:46

we could be looking for extraterrestrial life so that

17:48

could go on for an eternity. Oh

17:51

wow.return See least till the heat of the
