2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>get immersed in a world of rooms, inspiration, and expertise,

3
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>where you can lay in luxury, accommodation and kids campees

4

<v Speaker 1>from ninety five sets. Tickets are free to everyone and

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>include all the attractions you've just imagined, a day out

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>at the Kia, the Kia, the Wonderful every day.

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, high ologites. So this is the very very first

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>minisode of ologies. I thought, why don't I toss you

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>a little one now we can catch up on Horology, Primatology, Gemology.

10
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're an episode behind and you just want a

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>short one. So here's the deal. It's a million degrees

12
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's October and I'm pissed about it. I have

13
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 2>scarves I can't wear. It's hot. I want it to

14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>feel like Halloween, and I'm getting really new nostalgic and

15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm having this hunger for autumn. So I decided to

16
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>look up some of the ologies associated with autumn, and

17
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I thought i'd tell you about them because they're crazy. Okay,

18
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>you're ready, So let's just call this ologies October Cool

19
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 2>October Ologies pretty soon pretty sot so. So the first

20
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 2>ology I want to tell you about cucurbatology. Q. Curbatology

21
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 2>is the study You're so not even ready for this.

22
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>This is so awesome. Cue crebatology, the study of pumpkins

23
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and gourds. This is a real thing. I was researching

24
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 2>a little bit because I was like, I don't know

25
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>anything about cucurb turns out jack o lanterns in Ireland?

26
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you know that they used to be made out

27
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>of hollowed out turnips? Like, I don't know what kind

28
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>of elbow grease it takes to holler out a turnip,

29
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not interested. Also, I looked at pictures of them.

30
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Damn they look like mummy babies. They're horrifying. They're so

31
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>much more scary than pumpkins, very unpleasant. I did look

32
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>up some advice from a cue curbatologist. They say, hey,

33
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna carve a pumpkin. You don't want it to rot.

34
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you spray that thing with a weak mix

35
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>of bleach and water stop that mold? Right? And it's

36
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>tracks you, guys. Advice from a cue curbatologist. Pumpkins and gords.

37
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>What else says fall to me than zombies and tomo pathology?

38
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>What the hell's at well, it's when insects becomes zombies.

39
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>People love zombies. I can't even look at someone in

40
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>zombie makeup without being really actually afraid. I don't know,

41
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand. My ra sees someone who is like

42
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>an extra in a movie wearing prosthetics and I'm like, no,

43
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 2>that's a real dead person. But in the insect world,

44
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>there's this one fungus zombie maker called cordyce EPs, and

45
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>it infests carpenter ant colonies. And what happens is an

46
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>ant gets a spore on it gets infected by this fungus,

47
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and then the fungus takes over its behavior and essentially

48
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>leads it to crawl up a branch, hop on a leaf,

49
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>which it never does. It never does this, and then

50
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>use its jaws to bite on the leaf. There it

51
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>dies with a death clench onto a leaf, and then

52
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a stalk a fungus grows out of the ants dome

53
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>like a fungal antenna, and then it rains spores down

54
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>onto all of the ant's friends and family, like like

55
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>a fungus bomb at your family reunion. It's the worst anyway,

56
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>that Aunt wouldn't have done that were it not possessed

57
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>by a fungus zombie, so deal with that. Another good

58
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>October type of ology. I don't know, demonology heard of it.

59
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>So demonology is a thing people study demons. And I

60
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>came across one person who says she is a forensic

61
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 2>psychologist who specializes in violent crime. She has a PhD

62
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 2>in forensic psychology, a master's in educational psychology, and a

63
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>bachelor's in personality and religion. She literally wrote the book

64
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>on demonology, and then she wrote a follow up book

65
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>called demonology too, of course, in differentiating medical illnesses from

66
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>spiritual possession. I checked on her Twitter to see what's

67
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>on her mind, and her account had been suspended, so

68
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe demon hacked it. Another good ology

69
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>for this time of year. Chiropterology. Chiropterology, So this comes

70
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 2>from Cairo, hand in taro wing, so handwing. This is

71
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>a study of bats. And you know, there's a thousand

72
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>species of bats, but only three of them are vampire bats.

73
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>So the rest of the bats are like, I just

74
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>want to eat mosquitos or fruit, and I have such

75
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>a terrible reputation. Vampire bats pretty cool. There's this one

76
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>called a white winged vampire bat lives in South America,

77
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 2>prefers the blood of birds if given a choice, and

78
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>in one study they find out that they worked in pairs.

79
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 2>They crawl like spiders across the floor undetected, and then

80
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>one of them nuzzles up to a chicken breast and

81
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 2>pretends to beat its baby, and the checken's like, oh

82
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>huh a and starts to incubate it, while the other

83
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>one pierces its foot and feeds on the fresh blood.

84
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And before you're like, dude, that's not cool, one of

85
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>them's boguarding a live chicken foot and the others doing

86
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>all the ruse work. Well, some species of vampire bats,

87
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not sure if it's this one, but either way,

88
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll feed on blood and then they'll go back to

89
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 2>their friends and they'll barf it up and be like,

90
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>does they want some of this? I think that's very nice. Now,

91
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate autumno ology phenology, this is the changing of

92
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>the seasons, So spring phenology, you're studying buds, daffodils, shoots,

93
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>grasses the like. Fall phonology the changing of the leaves

94
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and what changes the leaf color? Well, they're really orange

95
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 2>and yellow underneath, but all the chlorophyll that they need

96
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>in the summer turn some green, so the chlorophyll dissipates.

97
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>The leaves turned these beautiful orange and yellow colors. This

98
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>year though, it's been really warm, so the chlorophyll is

99
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>breaking down kind of slower than usual. But apparently it's

100
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>supposed to cool down in November. They do say that

101
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen is currently on pace to be the second

102
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>hottest year on record. When was the first, like in

103
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 2>the eighteen hundreds? No, no, it was twenty sixteen, So whatever.

104
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Moral the story asks smart people dumb questions before we

105
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>all bake to death. Speaking of death, very special episode

106
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 2>of Ologies comes out on Halloween, Thanatology Study of Death
