2:00
I'm your host, Debra Goldene. And
2:03
in the studio today is our
2:05
sound effects robot, Lisa, which stands
2:07
for Live in Studio Audience. Thank
2:09
you. Thank you. Thank you
2:11
to all of my fans. I see you.
2:14
I live for you. You complete me.
2:16
Wow. That's so nice of you to
2:18
acknowledge your fans. You know, they really
2:21
do deserve all the robot love I
2:23
can download. Also, I'm
2:25
a true believer in the notion that you get
2:27
back what you give. So
2:30
if anyone would like to give back,
2:32
you can submit your adoring comments at
2:34
bestrobotever.com. Okay, I don't think you're
2:36
supposed to... Stop there? Right. I
2:39
should tell everyone where they can mail their gifts to. Okay,
2:41
no, you're not supposed to tell people that you want gifts.
2:44
So you need to let your fans
2:46
give without solicitation. Okay, that's silly,
2:48
Debra. How will they know that I would
2:51
love for them to send me fuzzy slippers
2:53
and a dog and a walrus? I
2:57
think you should just stick to the
2:59
giving from yourself, from your own heart,
3:01
and not expect anything in return. Fine.
3:05
Okay, so why don't you give us an
3:07
explanation for how our game works? Here's how
3:09
it works. You send me a walrus. No.
3:13
Every week we bring on two grownups. One
3:16
is an expert. The other, it
3:18
pains me to say this, a liar.
3:21
Ouch. Yeah. And it's the job of
3:23
a human child to help us figure out who was
3:25
who because no one's going to spot a liar better
3:27
than a kid. We hope. What
3:30
are we lying about today, Debra? We are
3:32
lying about turtles. Whoa. A slow-moving
3:34
reptile covered by a scaly or
3:37
leathery dome shell. Lisa, do you
3:39
know much about turtles? Turtle
3:42
wax really brings out the shimmer in my metal.
3:45
Oh, no, I'm talking about turtles, the reptiles.
3:47
Okay, well, I'm sure turtles, the reptiles
3:49
would really appreciate a layer of turtle wax
3:51
for their shells. Possibly. Oh,
3:54
let's see if our contestant shares the same opinion.
3:56
Who is our contestant today? Our
3:58
human child contestant is a poor from
4:01
Maine who has a pierced
4:03
ear. Ooh. Noah, Stroud. Wow.
4:06
Hi, Noah, Stroud. How are you? Since
4:08
you have a pierced ear, which ear is
4:10
pierced? My left. Who
4:12
pierced it? What happened? Was it an accident? It
4:15
would not like that happened. If
4:18
it was an accident. This was an intentional
4:20
piercing. Yeah. Did it hurt?
4:23
Yeah. I actually went to a tattoo parlor.
4:26
Whoa. Yeah. Did
4:28
you get a tattoo parlors? Yeah. Did
4:32
you get a tattoo also or is that next year? I
4:34
don't think I will. No? I
4:36
think that's probably why for now. That's probably why. Yeah. All
4:39
right. Well, welcome, Noah. We're so
4:41
glad you're here. We want to learn some
4:43
more fun facts about you, but we are
4:45
going to do it. Playing two truths and
4:47
a lie. So you are going to tell
4:49
us three facts about yourself. Two of
4:51
them will be true. One of them
4:53
will be a lie. Noah Stroud,
4:55
what are your three facts? Okay. So
4:58
my favorite animal is a
5:00
snake. Uh-huh. My favorite sport
5:03
is baseball. Okay. I
5:06
could ride a unicycle for half a mile
5:08
straight. Whoa.
5:11
Okay. I have
5:13
no idea. They all
5:15
sounded like they could be true or false. What do
5:17
you think, Lisa? Okay. Here's
5:19
what I'm thinking. Okay. This
5:21
dude's crazy guy. Wild child gets a deer
5:23
fierce, right? Okay. That kind
5:25
of guy? Like snakes. Okay. Lips wild,
5:27
bad boy kind of guy. Okay.
5:31
Sure. That kind of kid likes the danger
5:33
of riding around on a unicycle. Okay. That
5:35
kind of kid? Very bored by baseball. Not
5:37
exciting enough for him. Interesting. I love this like
5:39
full combat baseball. I don't think so. That baseball
5:42
one is a lie. I am welcome. You're welcome.
5:45
Thank you. Good night. Let's see.
5:48
Okay, Noah, which one of those facts is a lie? He's
5:50
great. Totally baseball. Oh my
5:52
gosh. Because it's so boring. He's so
5:54
good at that. True. Is that why you hate
5:56
baseball? No, I just hate baseball
5:58
because I feel like it's boring. Oh no!
6:01
Okay, we don't want angry
6:03
male about baseball. For some
6:05
people it's very interesting, fascinating,
6:07
mathematical, all those things. Oh yeah,
6:09
that's what I said, boring. But not for you, right
6:11
Noah? Yeah, I do like
6:13
math though. Yeah, math is great. Okay,
6:16
but you do like snakes, do you own a
6:18
snake? I want to. You want to,
6:20
oh my god. Oh, you're gonna be excited,
6:22
look under your chair. No,
6:24
no, he's kidding. And you can ride
6:26
a unicycle? Yes. Wow, did you teach
6:28
yourself? Did somebody help you do that?
6:31
I taught myself, but I'm actually teaching
6:33
a unicycle club at my school.
6:35
That is so cool! I'd
6:38
say that's really special. Okay.
6:40
Alright, and we just got canceled.
6:42
Our first expert is Brandon Carson.
6:45
Brandon, please introduce yourself to Noah.
6:47
Hi Noah, my
6:54
name is Brandon and I work at
6:56
a aquarium where I take care of
6:58
sea turtles. Okay, thank you,
7:00
Brandon. Let's meet our second expert Colleen
7:02
Oldham. Colleen, please introduce yourself
7:05
to Noah. Hi Noah, my
7:07
name is Colleen and I'm
7:09
a marine biologist and
7:11
turtle rescue volunteer. Okay. Look
7:23
at that. Totally cool sounds,
7:26
Lisa. Oh, thanks. It's
7:28
hot feet sound. Okay, that's true. Yes,
7:30
that's when we put our experts on the
7:33
hot seat while they answer Noah's questions. Lisa,
7:35
who should we put on my hot seat
7:37
first? Colleen Oldham. Okay.
7:39
Because I love eating
7:41
old ham. Okay. Yeah,
7:44
because some people eat fresh ham. I
7:46
like old ham because other people
7:48
don't want it, so I get to eat a lot of it. Okay,
7:50
that's a good reason. Alright,
7:52
Noah, what's your first question
7:54
for Colleen? How did you become
7:56
interested in turtles and
7:59
what kind of Premium did you have for your
8:01
job? Well I am I
8:03
to say that I was really into
8:05
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a
8:08
kid. Verrilli, I'm I loved National Geographic.
8:10
I always loved animals but it is
8:12
was much in the turtle shows more
8:14
than the other ones. So I went
8:16
to the University of Hawaii of Honolulu
8:18
to steady marine biology and I still
8:21
work. They're on their faculty. Brendan.
8:24
To me, more about what you know. it's rules. Are
8:26
rules are so long with
8:28
taking care of them of
8:30
the aquarium. I have also
8:32
worked in sea turtle conservation as
8:35
well where I have ah helped
8:37
out loggerhead sea turtles who have
8:40
been abandoned in nests and or
8:42
rehabilitate them and release them back
8:44
into the wild. Ah, We
8:47
get to learn a lot about the
8:49
species by helping them out that way.
8:51
What have you learned about them? I. Personally,
8:54
I have learned that. They.
8:56
Actually will spend the first three
8:58
months of their life after hatching
9:00
or in the exact same waters
9:03
are so they won't go much
9:05
farther than a few miles offshore
9:07
of their hatching sites for the
9:09
first three months, and then they
9:11
will spend the rest of their
9:13
life in the deep ocean. Well,
9:19
For. Both of you might
9:22
think. It. Would
9:25
like to take that first. Online bullying? Yeah,
9:27
well, that certainly. Not very nice.
9:30
Yeah that is the biggest
9:32
threat to turtles right now
9:34
is police and said there
9:36
are other natural predators are
9:38
like bird dogs in other
9:40
animals said try to eat
9:42
other animals okay and friend
9:44
and to do agree with
9:46
that answer do well as
9:48
that answers. will add to that
9:50
answer of i'm so along with
9:52
that humans are also a big
9:54
threat to turtles as well they're
9:56
the ones that mostly cause the
9:58
pollution palm but and they also
10:01
have plenty of other in-ocean predators,
10:03
some on land as well. Okay. Colleen,
10:07
what's the weirdest kind of turtle that
10:09
you've ever heard of? Hmm. Ooh.
10:12
The weirdest kind of turtle I've ever
10:14
heard of is
10:16
probably the Alaskan cold water turtle.
10:19
They're going endangered because of
10:22
climate change, but they
10:24
tend to live in the northern oceans and
10:26
they thrive in cold water. I
10:29
think the North Dakota scarf-wearing
10:31
turtle is pretty weird. You
10:34
can see them because they wear scarves, but then
10:36
they always complain about the scarves and they're like,
10:38
yeah, but I want a green one. I got
10:40
a yellow one. Ted got a yellow one. I
10:42
want a yellow one. I don't know where you
10:44
meet those turtles. North Dakota. Oh, right.
10:46
That's what you said. All right, back to you,
10:48
Noah. To both of you, have you ever been
10:50
bitten by a turtle? Ooh. I'll
10:52
take this one first. Yes,
10:55
I have. I've actually been bitten by
10:57
four different species of turtles. Oh
11:00
my. What'd you do, dude? I
11:02
was only trying to give them some food, but
11:04
sometimes they think your fingers are food. Do
11:07
they have teeth? Some of them do, yes.
11:09
Most of them just have beaks though. Oh,
11:11
it still sounds painful, doesn't it? Yeah,
11:14
the beaks are pretty sharp. Yeah. For
11:16
people listening, are your
11:18
fingers food? No. No,
11:22
okay. All right, Colleen, have you ever
11:24
been bitten by a turtle? Only
11:26
once I was trying to untangle
11:29
the little plastic soda ring from
11:32
a turtle and he bit me. Oh
11:34
no, he didn't understand that you were trying to do
11:36
him a favor. No, just help me help you, buddy.
11:39
Oh. I don't know
11:41
if this is the exact answer, but I've
11:43
bitten five turtles. Why would you do that?
11:45
Just to see if I could. Oh,
11:48
so that's terrible. I hope that that is not true.
11:50
I apologize. Oh no. Species.
11:53
North Dakota scarf. Again. Then
11:56
that Alaskan cold water. Then
11:58
the Albertsons part. lot. Turtle,
12:02
then tomato turtle. Tomato
12:04
turtle? Yeah, sometimes they're turtles inside of
12:06
tomatoes. No, that is not so. That's
12:08
the thing. That's four. South
12:12
American invisible turtle. Yeah.
12:14
That was an accident. To
12:17
Brendan, what is the top of a
12:19
turtle's shell called? The
12:21
top of a turtle's shell is
12:23
called the carapace. Hmm. It's actually
12:26
made out of the same material
12:28
as our fingernails. Whoa. Colleen,
12:31
what determines if a turtle is going
12:33
to be a boy or a girl?
12:35
It can actually depend on
12:37
the temperature around the egg. Wow,
12:39
really? Before it hatches, yeah. If
12:42
the temperatures are colder, males
12:44
tend to be born, the temperatures are warmer, it tends
12:46
to be a lady turtle. That's
12:49
why climate change is actually affecting them because
12:52
there can't just be
12:54
old girls, then they can't have more
12:57
baby turtles. That's exactly right. To both
13:00
of you. What
13:02
was the funniest thing that's
13:04
happened in your job? So
13:06
the funniest thing that's happened to me at my
13:08
job, I was helping one
13:10
of the green sea turtles get
13:13
out of its tank so we
13:15
could do veterinary checks on it
13:17
and turtles are way better in the
13:19
water than I am so he was
13:22
able to pull me across the tank. I
13:26
went for a little bit
13:28
of a ride. Oh no. Was it fun? It
13:30
was, yes. Well
13:35
I think the funniest thing I found out about
13:37
turtles while
13:39
doing some research was that
13:41
turtles mate for life but they
13:44
also have little wedding ceremonies. What?
13:46
Yeah. I was officiated. Biologists
13:50
have seen members of the same group and they
13:52
sort of line up and touch heads with the
13:54
little turtle couple and they get
13:57
married. Cute. I just want to say if any turtles are listening
13:59
and you want to on the show and get
14:01
married, it would be our pleasure to host you.
14:03
Definitely. And then I get to keep him. No.
14:11
Hi, it's me, Jess! Support for the Big
14:13
Vib is brought to you by Pretty Litter. Full
14:15
disclosure, I have a cat, and his name is Arlo,
14:17
and I'm obsessed with him. And when Arlo is healthy,
14:19
he's happy. And that makes me happy. But since I'm
14:21
not a mind reader, I don't always know when he
14:24
needs a trip to the vet. Helping me keep tabs
14:26
on my cat's health is just one reason why I
14:28
use Pretty Litter. And I could do not. Before
14:30
we got the sponsor, I was already using Pretty
14:33
Litter for two years. And it's
14:35
great! It's ultra-absorbent crystals trap odor instantly,
14:37
it's super light base, minimizes mess and
14:39
dust, and Pretty Litter ships free,
14:41
right to my door, in a small, lightweight bag.
14:44
But here's how Pretty Litter helps me with my cat's
14:46
health. It changes color to help monitor early signs of
14:48
potential illness in my cat, including
14:51
urinary tract infections and kidney issues. Pretty
14:54
Litter helps keep tabs on my cat's health and
14:56
keeps odors down. I

liar? Well, a
18:30
lot of the shorts on fire
18:32
were false. Let's
18:35
see. Okay, interesting. So you
18:37
think you know some facts about
18:40
this topic that she did not know where
18:42
she lied about. Okay. Will
18:45
the actual turtle expert please tell us
18:47
who you are? I
18:50
am Brendan. I am the turtle expert.
18:52
You got it right, Noah. That is
18:54
right. Brendan Karski is an aquarist at
18:57
the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut, who
18:59
is responsible for a loggerhead sea turtle
19:01
conservation program. Amazing. Thank you for your
19:03
service, sir. Okay. It's
19:05
time to review all the facts
19:07
and turn them turtle. Brendan, what
19:09
information did Colleen share that came
19:12
from a complete loggerhead? Definitely
19:15
the marriage. They
19:17
do not mate for life. They don't get
19:20
married? No, they do not. I
19:22
want my presents back. You know, some of us
19:25
wish they did, but they
19:27
don't. What else? I
19:30
might be wrong on this one, but I think the turtle
19:32
candy doesn't actually have marshmallow in it. It
19:34
doesn't, no. I still want marshmallows. Pecan's
19:37
caramel and chocolate. I'll take that. Yeah.
19:40
And the other thing is I know
19:42
the bottom of a turtle's shell is
19:44
actually called plastron. Very good. Not
19:47
the basement. Right. And what
19:49
about this one? Do all turtles have shells?
19:51
Is there a turtle that doesn't have a
19:53
shell? Well, the leatherback and a couple of
19:56
other turtles have soft shells. Oh.
19:59
But I think. that they'll have
20:01
shells in some way. In some way.
20:03
Yeah. Brendan, is that correct? That
20:05
is correct. There is that thing as the
20:08
Romanian naked turtle though, right? No,
20:10
I made that up. What? That was a good lie.
20:12
I just ordered five of them up there, and it...
20:14
Oh no. Oh no. Get your money
20:16
back. It was your money. I wonder what you'll get. I
20:18
wonder what you'll get instead of the
20:20
Romanian naked turtle. Right. It's a surprise. I
20:23
guess we'll find out. So, and we also,
20:25
you mentioned a predator as Amps. Is
20:28
that a thing? Is that true? Well, I
20:30
know crabs. Or... Yeah, uh-huh.
20:32
I don't think ants are. What do you say,
20:34
Brendan? For sea turtles, they
20:37
definitely wouldn't be eating ants, but
20:39
some terrestrial turtles would eat ants.
20:41
But would ants eat them? Oh no, ants would not eat
20:43
them. No. No. Great.
20:46
Not at all. Not so much. Okay, and Colleen,
20:48
what facts did you share that were turtle disasters?
20:53
There's no such thing as an Alaskan cold
20:55
water turtle. Oh, that was a lie too?
20:57
Yeah. Wow. I'm
20:59
so sorry. There's one other thing.
21:01
Yeah. A turtle can
21:03
weigh way more than 100 eggs. What
21:07
you were thinking of is a turtle could only
21:09
lay 100 eggs in one hatchet. Oh.
21:15
Wow. Thank you. You are a real
21:18
expert. No wonder you got this right, Noah.
21:20
That's amazing. Anything else, Colleen? Gosh,
21:22
well, it was a lot of facts about myself. So
21:25
were lies. But you
21:27
made up some pretty good turtle names. I like those names.
21:29
Yeah. You know, you could
21:31
call me out on it because it's the name of
21:33
a country and a turtle. I
21:37
also said that sea turtles can dive 10,000 leagues
21:40
under the sea. Oh, right. That's not true.
21:42
What do you say, Brendan? Do you know?
21:44
I think the deepest they can go is about 1000 feet.
21:47
Meters, actually. 1000 meters. Okay, not
21:49
so much. I don't even know how much a league is. How
21:51
much is a league? I don't know. It's the
21:54
name of a book. Right. But I don't know
21:56
how many measure that. Yeah. I'm
21:58
wondering, you were just right all. around
22:00
Noah. You are right, right, and
22:02
also very right. Well, we've come
