We're gonna see more and more, I predict this summer of just cicada cam. Just people just grabbing a cicada and eating it on camera. . . normalize it.

Orcas are attacking boats to train their young to hunt, not for revenge

Update on those orca attacks. Turns out the orcas may be using the boats that they're attacking to train the younger orcas, how to hunt. It may not be some sort of retribution situation.

Many marine biologists have indeed suggested the 'play' or 'fad' theory rather than 'vengeance', though the exact motive remains a scientific debate.

The PMT office 'jeans ripping' trend will end in a legitimate fight

We've found ourselves into a jeans ripping problem on this podcast... It's going to end poorly. I don't know how it's going to end, but I just know that no one's going to be happy and we're going to get into a small fight about it. And then it's going to be no more pants ripping.

The jeans ripping bit did eventually fade out without a public massive blowout, but it was discontinued.

Black bears are 'pussies' that humans can beat in a fight

Black bears, actual pussies. I saw you. You were right on that video. You could beat the shit out of a black bear. You snuffed that out. I appreciate that. Black bears would run like pots and pans get rid of black bears. Black fight back. brown lay down lay down white say good night boom there it is that's how you handle bears.

While black bears are generally timid and can be scared off, calling them 'pussies' you can beat up is an exaggeration. The mnemonic is correct advice.

Six people can fit in a whale's vagina

Wales, you can fit six people in a Wales [whale's] vagina. Sick.

While a blue whale's vagina is large (6-8 feet in length), fitting six grown humans inside simultaneously is a dubious volumetric claim often found on 'weird fact' websites.
