1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,640 Hi everyone I'm Emily and I'm Vince and this is the lighthouse lowdown. 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,640 In my defense I haven't done this in a very long time. 3 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,640 Yeah I was just staring at the go button I was just staring at it like just hit the button make the sound. 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,640 You should have done it. 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,640 Do it. 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,640 Why didn't you? 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,640 I want you to do it hit me. 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,640 Oh my gosh. 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,920 We were just playing fortunate sun for everyone who wants to tune in and feel the vibes. 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,920 We're not playing it right now but you could. 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,400 It's a good song to either go to war or start your podcast. 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,400 Who's going to war? 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,400 Is this from a movie? 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,400 Oh so many movies. 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,400 Really? 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,320 Basically every Vietnam film where they're on a helicopter. 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Fortunate song. 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,320 Weird. 19 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,320 Fortunate song. 20 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,320 Anyways. 21 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,320 Well we're not going to war. 22 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,320 Yeah. 23 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,320 We're educating. 24 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,320 Yes. 25 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,320 What are we educating ourselves about today? 26 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,000 Well I'm doing another international lighthouse. 27 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,480 I really want to go back to the American ones but I keep getting sucked away. 28 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,480 There's a lot of them. 29 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Big world. 30 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,320 So this one well first of all I want to apologize I don't have a history buoy. 31 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,320 Vince knows. 32 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:12,320 Scoff. 33 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,760 Vince knows the drama that went down because I. 34 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,760 Why don't you? 35 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,760 Be. 36 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,760 For the listeners. 37 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:27,520 Because I researched and researched and researched this topic that I thought was going to relate 38 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,520 to lighthouses. 39 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:35,280 And there was physics involved and wavelengths and all kinds of stuff. 40 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Optics. 41 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:43,480 And then I realized that the topic was irrelevant because there are standards in place where 42 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,960 you don't just pick the color of a lighthouse lens based on what is the most efficient. 43 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,640 You pick it based on some other factors that I will cover in a subsequent history buoy. 44 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:02,120 So you're saying you were researching what color a lighthouse is based on science. 45 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,960 Like why would they pick certain colors? 46 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Yeah. 47 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Like why do we only see green and red? 48 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,680 It's like oh well I was going to. 49 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Which technically I did prove why we picked those colors you know at the beginning of 50 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560 time. 51 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,000 But you know it's no longer it's not really relevant. 52 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,080 Well like airplanes they use green and red lights right as well like marker lights. 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,080 Yeah. 54 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,080 As well as ships. 55 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,080 Almost everybody does. 56 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,640 To mark what port and starboard. 57 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:33,640 Starboard. 58 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:37,200 Yeah because I'm going to do it I'm going to cover it. 59 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280 I just wasn't ready today because I was so. 60 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,960 A lot of science. 61 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,200 I mean people I researched for hours. 62 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Hours. 63 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,440 And I was going deep into physics equations and like you know. 64 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Derivations. 65 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,160 Like luminous what is it luminous intensity equations and how like it accounts for like 66 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,240 the curvature of the earth and how the human eye like the average human eye perceives color. 67 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Yeah. 68 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,280 It's all taken into consideration into this one equation. 69 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,480 So it was just like a nesting doll of equations all in one equation. 70 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,200 So I was following all these branches down and that's when I started to question myself. 71 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720 Lots of parentheses within. 72 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,640 Yeah where it's like a variable. 73 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,000 And then it's like this variable is the equation for lumens. 74 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600 And I'm like what the heck is this. 75 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600 So I clicked on it and it's like this whole other thing with a bunch of other variables 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,360 that are all actually equations. 77 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200 I'm like OK I'm out of here. 78 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,560 So anyway that's what happened. 79 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:42,040 I don't have a history of buoy because I put so much energy into failure that I just have 80 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,720 to move on or it'll consume me. 81 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,600 I remember seeing a joke. 82 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,120 We'll get to it. 83 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,120 It'll be OK. 84 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,640 I remember seeing a joke when I was in school. 85 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720 I was in engineering school. 86 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,440 My brother sent me I think it was like a meme or something and it was talking about someone 87 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,120 looking at a long equation like working really hard. 88 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,120 They're reading it. 89 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,120 It's like a short video I guess. 90 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,520 And they go ah there and they put their finger down. 91 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880 It goes a number. 92 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Everything else was X Y Z Constance subtext a number a number some constant. 93 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,480 Oh yeah that was me. 94 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760 Reaching diligently for my fans. 95 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaking of fans the lighthouse today comes from a listener. 96 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,560 All right. 97 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,560 Everyone get excited. 98 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,000 It wasn't actually my fault that we have an international one coming. 99 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000 The fact that the next one after this is also international is absolutely my fault. 100 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,440 And I'll tell you why traveling. 101 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,760 Yeah well we just haven't done. 102 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:54,680 We just haven't done a U.S. lighthouse or any subject for like since like 24 wasn't 103 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,960 NASA like 24. 104 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,960 That's too far in a while. 105 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,840 Do we look at the Web site. 106 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,960 So first thing of Web site I just wanted to see. 107 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,440 We've got our LinkedIn. 108 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,080 I want to thank everybody. 109 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880 We have two hundred and thirty two followers. 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,040 I'm like whoops which is it's not that many but it's a lot from zero. 111 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,040 Yeah. 112 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320 And it's coming up on how many Instagram followers we have. 113 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,120 So I'm going to look at pod page dot com. 114 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,120 No no no. 115 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,120 It's new. 116 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,120 That's what I was trying to say. 117 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Wait what's our new website. 118 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,500 We have upgraded our Web site and now it's just the lighthouse lowdown dot com. 119 00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:32,680 Now you guys don't have to follow our link tree because everything you need is on our 120 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,800 Web site. 121 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,880 That's where I'm going to start posting pictures. 122 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,720 I'll still update the Instagram but I'll post pictures and all of our references and resources 123 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,960 will also be listed on the Web site under a tab that says resources. 124 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,400 We also show up at least on my phone if you search the lighthouse lowdown on Google. 125 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,120 No way. 126 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,360 So I did purchase our domain through Google so I would expect that they would give us 127 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,360 a little bit of. 128 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960 Sorry to interrupt you. 129 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880 I was surprised Alcatraz was episode 26. 130 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,880 OK. 131 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,720 I was in the US and then Lansword's Führer, Nomazaki, the lighthouse way those are all 132 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,720 foreign. 133 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,080 Lighthouse cocktail hour here in the US. 134 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Technically foreign. 135 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,080 The cocktail hour. 136 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,080 Yeah. 137 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,080 We talked about our trips. 138 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,080 Yeah. 139 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,400 We did talk about St. Augustine in Florida a little bit. 140 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,400 OK. 141 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,600 Anyways so we are a traveling lighthouse podcast. 142 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,600 Yeah. 143 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,600 You know what. 144 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,520 We are already a lighthouse podcast that talks about American lighthouses. 145 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800 But we're going to get back to we're going to get back to those. 146 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280 We're the most explicit lighthouse podcast on the Internet. 147 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,400 I thought that was hilarious. 148 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,840 We got a lot of good feedback from our our last episode that we posted the lighthouse 149 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,840 cocktail. 150 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,640 I think people like to hear us goofing off. 151 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,600 We won't make a habit of doing that because this is a lighthouse podcast. 152 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,040 But every once in a while we'll throw in something fun and goofy. 153 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760 A little now and then we'll try to take you along for a ride. 154 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Yeah. 155 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,760 Try and keep it less crass. 156 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Shake up your Monday. 157 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,320 So here we go. 158 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,480 Here we go. 159 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,560 The lighthouse we're covering today is called Snake Island Lighthouse. 160 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880 I don't like snakes. 161 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,880 I know. 162 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,920 That's why I said you would love this episode. 163 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,560 This is also very fitting because this week Indiana Jones comes out. 164 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,560 Oh hey. 165 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,560 The source. 166 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,960 That's where everybody figured out that they were scared of snakes. 167 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,960 Yeah. 168 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,800 So is this where Snake Island in English is called Snake Island. 169 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,280 Well Snake Island is what it's known as. 170 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,400 The actual island is called. 171 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,400 A. 172 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,400 The. 173 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,400 He had the. 174 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,400 Came Mada. 175 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Grande. 176 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,400 Crand. 177 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,400 Yeah. 178 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,200 That's all I got from the game. 179 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,200 I got. 180 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Grande. 181 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,200 It's outside Brazil. 182 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,360 OK. 183 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,360 That makes sense. 184 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,000 But it goes by snake. 185 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,600 It's 90 kilometers. 186 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,920 OK. 187 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,840 It's some distance off the coast of Brazil. 188 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,320 It is wild. 189 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:10,600 The amount of different sources because the story of this island is like. 190 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600 It's newsworthy. 191 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,600 And so. 192 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Oh my gosh. 193 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Lots of. 194 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,880 Articles have been written about it. 195 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,600 And you know how some articles are based on zero fact at all. 196 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Yeah. 197 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,800 So. 198 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,200 There tends to be lots and lots of conflicting information. 199 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,200 OK. 200 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,720 And I tried to measure it off of you know Google Maps like OK what's the distance. 201 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,600 But it just gives you that little notch on the bottom that kind of describes a distance 202 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,560 and it's like an inch is five kilometers. 203 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,840 Well I can't pull the inch off and measure it across my screen. 204 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,840 OK. 205 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,320 So we were in Alaska recently. 206 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,320 I was on a motorcycle ride. 207 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,320 It was awesome. 208 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,280 I was with my dad and my brother both of which are very smart people. 209 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,280 My dad. 210 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,280 We. 211 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,560 So we cross into Canada immediately. 212 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,920 The speed limit changes from miles per hour to KPI kilometers per hour. 213 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,920 And I'm an idiot. 214 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,840 So I'm like well. 215 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,120 I was speeding in the US. 216 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 I'm probably going to be speeding in Canada. 217 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,640 I don't know. 218 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,640 You know we're talking. 219 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,360 We have these radios in our helmets so we can talk to each other while we're driving. 220 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,940 And my dad says. 221 00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:23,920 So to do the conversion from kilometers to miles whether it's distance or in speed doesn't 222 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,680 matter is the per hour. 223 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,920 You take the kilometers per hour. 224 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Someone do this example. 225 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,200 Let's say it's 90. 226 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,400 You take it divided by two. 227 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,040 So that's 45. 228 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,080 And then plus zero to 90 in tens there's nine. 229 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,860 So zero 10 20 30 40 up to nine. 230 00:09:45,860 --> 00:09:48,840 So 45 plus nine is 54. 231 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800 So 90 kilometers is how many miles. 232 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,840 Converted it to meters because I'm an idiot. 233 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,840 Fifty five point nine. 234 00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,840 Wow. 235 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,840 Pretty dang close. 236 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,840 Thanks dad. 237 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,000 Yeah it's a good. 238 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000 So I took that information. 239 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 I continue to speed. 240 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Shame on you. 241 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,140 Yeah I was going 60 miles an hour. 242 00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:13,320 So you were saying I'm sorry to interrupt you. 243 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,800 It's 90 kilometers. 244 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,840 So roughly the one I selected I guarantee it's less than that. 245 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,840 But oh OK. 246 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,920 I just picked one of the five different articles that covered the same subject but gave wildly 247 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,920 different information. 248 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,400 And there's not much to go on like there's not. 249 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,040 So then they write crazy stuff in the articles. 250 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,600 I've linked them all so you can read them and some of them are pretty dramatic. 251 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,080 Anyway there is another island called Snake Island and it's part of Ukraine. 252 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,560 It has a lighthouse which is also called Snake Island Lighthouse. 253 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:46,560 OK. 254 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:51,120 Nobody look it up because that's what I'm covering in our next episode. 255 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,920 Oh two snake hounds in a row. 256 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Yeah because there's a crazy backstory. 257 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,200 So this crazy backstory I mean like gods like Greek gods. 258 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,200 I know. 259 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,200 Oh my god. 260 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,200 So. 261 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,200 Thanks. 262 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:18,640 OK. 263 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,720 So snake out this is going to be Snake Island parentheses of Brazil. 264 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,720 Yes. 265 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,200 And then Snake Island parentheses Ukraine. 266 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,680 And they both are crazy. 267 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:28,680 Yes. 268 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:29,680 OK. 269 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:31,160 This one I would say is crazier. 270 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,240 Well no I can't say anything. 271 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,760 You guys can you guys can send us say send. 272 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,920 Send me some messages. 273 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Can send us a voicemail on our website which I thought was crazy or you can send us an 274 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,800 email both all from our website. 275 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,600 You can do anything on there. 276 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,840 It's amazing what happens when you just pay a little bit of money. 277 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,680 Crazy. 278 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:03,200 But you can tell us in about a month or I guess three weeks which one you think is a 279 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,600 crazier Snake Island. 280 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,800 There you go. 281 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:13,800 But so I'm going to go in this island is a total of one hundred nine acres and it ranges 282 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,920 from bare rock to rainforest. 283 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:24,520 No it's got like a large range of 100 acres temperatures and types of climate. 284 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,680 What are you looking at. 285 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:31,240 I'm going to look up acres to hectares. 286 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,240 Why. 287 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,840 Because that's there. 288 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:42,560 I think the 40 point five hectares. 289 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,800 So a hundred acres from rock to rainforest. 290 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,200 I'm sorry interrupt. 291 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,080 You can guess why it's known as Snake Island. 292 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,360 Snakes are not supposed to be on islands. 293 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,680 I know there's a fun story as to why there are snakes and not just some snakes. 294 00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:59,800 Hundreds of thousands of snakes. 295 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,280 How are these snakes thriving. 296 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,880 They're eating each other. 297 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,240 Well sometimes they resort to cannibal birds. 298 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280 Birds migratory birds. 299 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,480 But anyway there's estimated and I've seen lots of ranges. 300 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,400 I think people like a sensational story. 301 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,280 So they'll say there's 400,000 snakes. 302 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,280 Oh my gosh. 303 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,120 But then I also saw that a official count was done in like 2015 or something and there 304 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,700 was four thousand. 305 00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:29,400 But I want to believe a scale of a hundred. 306 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,840 A hundred multiplied exaggerated by like a lot. 307 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,000 Well to be fair if you sent me to an island said Vince Vince can you go count the snakes. 308 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,600 I'd be like yeah there was 12. 309 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,840 Yeah I'm not doing that. 310 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,840 One two three four. 311 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,840 OK. 312 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,840 I see one. 313 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,520 I'm going to say there is four thousand. 314 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,040 Multiply that. 315 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,800 One. 316 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,280 But in the case of 400,000 we're talking about one snake per meter. 317 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,680 So you'd never be more than three feet away from a snake. 318 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:06,920 You know there is I'm going to misquote something I'm sure. 319 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,560 Kodiak Island in Alaska. 320 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,760 Kodiak Bears. 321 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,520 I'm pretty sure there's one bear per square mile. 322 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,680 And I think that's the most dense. 323 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:18,680 Square mile. 324 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:19,680 Yes. 325 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,240 That is a lot for bears. 326 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,680 Those are big. 327 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,400 So yeah one snake per meter. 328 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,960 That's a lot of snakes. 329 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,960 That's insane. 330 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,520 You know what's worse is that these aren't just any snakes. 331 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,840 It's not just a lot of snakes. 332 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,360 It's not just a lot of like rat snakes or something. 333 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,240 These are hundreds of thousands of golden lancehead vipers. 334 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,800 They're all the same breed. 335 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,000 Because back in the ice age. 336 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,920 Wait in the ice age. 337 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Yeah. 338 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,560 When all when there was not expect this. 339 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,920 When there was a the ocean rise the sea level rose by a lot. 340 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Remember we were watching. 341 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,920 UFOs were here. 342 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,920 We were watching. 343 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,920 What was it called? 344 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,920 Oh some. 345 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,920 Ancient Apocalypse. 346 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,800 We never watched the final episode. 347 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,800 We sure did not. 348 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,480 Isn't that bizarre? 349 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,080 We binged that seat. 350 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,080 That whole thing. 351 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,080 We made fun of the guy the whole time. 352 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,760 We didn't make fun of the guy. 353 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,760 He made. 354 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Archaeologists. 355 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,760 Archaeologists believe. 356 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,720 I'm like stop ragging. 357 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240 If you don't know what we're talking about go to Netflix. 358 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,240 Watch any episode. 359 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,520 Except for the last one because we haven't seen it. 360 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Of Ancient Apocalypse with Graham Hancock. 361 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,480 I think that's his name. 362 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,480 Oh really? 363 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,480 I think. 364 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,480 I don't know. 365 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,480 Maybe I just made that up. 366 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,480 It's very specific. 367 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,480 He just. 368 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,080 I was really captured at first. 369 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,080 Yes. 370 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,920 But then he keeps doing these like b-roll shots of him like looking off into the distance 371 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,920 all dramatic. 372 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,920 Yeah. 373 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:50,920 He's just a guy. 374 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,920 He's just a guy. 375 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,920 There's nothing wrong with him. 376 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,080 You know if I was on there I'd be made fun of more than he would. 377 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,880 But still it's just like very dramatic. 378 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,160 And then his voice comes over. 379 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,800 It's like archaeologists suggest about these mountains are here due to tectonic plate movement. 380 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,800 Like it's ridiculous. 381 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,800 I think. 382 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760 And it's like oh yeah well he keeps saying like archaeologists are so stuck in their 383 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,760 ways. 384 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400 You know like he would be ragging on archaeologists the entire time. 385 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Which you're generalizing like crazy. 386 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:26,120 Because I guarantee this guy had bad experiences with some archaeologists somewhere being like 387 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,120 you're dumb. 388 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,520 Like why would you ever believe that. 389 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,680 We have fact. 390 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,120 So now he's like all archaeologists are idiots. 391 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,240 Yes. 392 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,360 So we got we started to get fed up with the all of that. 393 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680 So I'm sorry. 394 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,320 Eyebrows for like. 395 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,400 So the ocean the ocean levels rose. 396 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,400 Yes. 397 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,080 And it cut off this island from the rest of the mainland. 398 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,920 So there were some snakes that we still have today. 399 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,400 So pregnant golden ones. 400 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,400 Oh my gosh. 401 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,760 And that is that pit viper as in the sunglasses. 402 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,760 What. 403 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,480 There's a sunglass brand. 404 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,800 Pit viper. 405 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,360 Pit fibers is a type of snake. 406 00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,680 I did not know that was a thing. 407 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,720 There are like you know some species or whatever. 408 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,160 Red yellow green blue. 409 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,400 I'll show you a picture. 410 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,480 But this species of pit viper because there's no way for a snake to swim across you know 411 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,040 to the mainland it is the only place you find the snake. 412 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Oh that's cool. 413 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,520 It is like their ecosystem and their entire food chain. 414 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,080 Everything is just one 100 acre island. 415 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,040 Let me show you a picture. 416 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,040 It's very small. 417 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,120 Is this like a national protected area for Brazil. 418 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,120 Do you know. 419 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,920 You're not allowed to go here mainly because you would die. 420 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,720 So here's the island. 421 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,720 It's not very big. 422 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,720 I know. 423 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,840 And it kind of looks like a snake. 424 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,440 I hate snakes but I think it'd be really cool to go. 425 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,440 OK. 426 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,000 And then here's the probably protecting the snakes because people would go and make boots 427 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000 out of them or something. 428 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000 The snake. 429 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000 Yeah. 430 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,360 People would definitely make boots out of that. 431 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,400 They are pretty beautiful snake. 432 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,400 They're very like. 433 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,400 Brownish yellow. 434 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,400 Yeah. 435 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,560 And normally pit fibers look really angry like they look like they're you know they 436 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,040 have like a furrowed brow all the time. 437 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,360 But these kind of look they look a little bit less like that. 438 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,720 Oh I don't know. 439 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,280 They still. 440 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,280 Still snakes. 441 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,280 They're alive. 442 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,280 No offense. 443 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,200 They grow to an average of just under three feet. 444 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,960 Sometimes up to four feet long. 445 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,960 And their venom melts your flesh because here's what it is. 446 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,840 Because they got cut off their normal food source is no longer available. 447 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,840 They don't. 448 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,760 There's no like or at least not a lot of rats or ground animals. 449 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,200 So then their only option was to catch birds. 450 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:44,240 And so normal pit fibers what they do is they bite you and then they let go and they track 451 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,880 you as you die. 452 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,880 Yeah. 453 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,880 And really disturbing. 454 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,860 They can't do that with birds because birds will just fly away. 455 00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:56,320 And so they had to one they now bite and hang on instead of letting go. 456 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,840 And they their venom is five times as potent as their pit fiber cousin. 457 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,840 That is crazy. 458 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,480 It's like over time the only ones that survived were the ones that had stronger venom because 459 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,640 the birds would die like very quickly. 460 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,120 Not enough time to fly off the island. 461 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,360 So then get to eat. 462 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,680 So these are so cool. 463 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,640 Well I'm thinking of a children's book now that you said all this venom. 464 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,640 Yeah. 465 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,200 There's a children's book my mom. 466 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,520 My mom would read me that was a green snake. 467 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,200 And I'm pretty sure it was a viper and they like hung across branches and like a really 468 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,200 cool fashion. 469 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,200 I don't know. 470 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,880 I don't know about a wall. 471 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,200 And I it was a children's book so I didn't like you know there's no death. 472 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,160 But like the snakes. 473 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,440 So the vipers these vipers they hang and like attack birds from limbs. 474 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,920 Is that how they do it. 475 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,920 That's awesome. 476 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,920 Yeah. 477 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,400 So they've grown longer tails than their cousins for like gripping and stuff. 478 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,400 All kinds of different advancements that are just from having to catch birds. 479 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Also I think you're thinking about an emerald tree boa. 480 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,120 Oh it's a Verde. 481 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:05,120 The books. 482 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,120 It's a what. 483 00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:07,120 Verde. 484 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:08,120 The RDI. 485 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:09,120 It's a Verde. 486 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,600 Well I think it's the color green in a different language. 487 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Verde. 488 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,080 Well I'm telling you this book right here Verde. 489 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,080 Oh yeah. 490 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,080 Is the name of the snake. 491 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,080 I'm pretty sure. 492 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,360 I think you showed me this book. 493 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,360 I'm looking to it more. 494 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:25,480 It was a very fond memory that you struck there. 495 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,480 Oh. 496 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,280 So glad I could do that for you. 497 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,280 Oh scary snakes. 498 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,280 Scary snakes. 499 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,280 Scary snakes. 500 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,280 I think that's on the book. 501 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,280 Emerald tree boa. 502 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,280 Yep. 503 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,560 They're scary when they're not drawn by children's artists. 504 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Boas are not scary. 505 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,000 Boas just try to choke you to death. 506 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,200 They have weird mouths all right. 507 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,200 He's trying to show me pictures if he's going to prove his point. 508 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,200 I like snakes. 509 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,840 I think an emerald tree boa would be a cool snake to own. 510 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,840 It's probably also legal. 511 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,840 You could make it happy. 512 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,840 Like big terrarium. 513 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,840 Yeah. 514 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,840 Put birds in there. 515 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,840 Leave it alone. 516 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:04,160 I always tell Vince I used to go to Petorama and let snakes curl up under my hair and sleep. 517 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,160 Nope. 518 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,160 Dad had two snakes. 519 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,680 That was a no for me. 520 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,000 So you're talking about they're yellow. 521 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000 You're telling me about the breed. 522 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000 They develop. 523 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000 They develop. 524 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Very potent venom. 525 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Yeah. 526 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000 So they hold the birds. 527 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,520 If you get bit, you die within an hour. 528 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:25,240 It melts your flesh, causes internal bleeding and considering you're over 50 miles. 529 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,000 You can't get back. 530 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000 No. 531 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,040 So anytime there are people that go on the island once per year because there's a lighthouse 532 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,200 and it's always accompanied with a medical team and researchers. 533 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,200 Anti-venom. 534 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,280 If you got bit, you wouldn't make it back. 535 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,000 Unless they could treat you there, which is the whole point of this team. 536 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000 They would at least be able to give you like anti-venom. 537 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Oh my God. 538 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000 That's a nightmare. 539 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,440 But think about it. 540 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,660 So I read an article of I'm going to talk about it. 541 00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:54,840 This lady, I think she's with vice. 542 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,000 I don't think I made a note. 543 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:03,720 But lots of people have come like reporters have come to do articles on this island and 544 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,280 only some of them get to actually go along. 545 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,280 But they always just go with the Brazilian Navy and the researchers because researchers 546 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:16,360 go there every year too to count the snakes and take samples. 547 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,640 Got to track them because they sacrifice one researcher each time they go. 548 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,640 Oh my gosh. 549 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,440 But she was talking about how like they have to climb because this is not like a inhabited 550 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,440 island. 551 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,160 It's totally no sidewalks. 552 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,160 Right. 553 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,600 No ladders, no nothing. 554 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,120 So they're climbing rocks and she's just like, they're just constantly having to think everywhere 555 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,680 you put your hand there could be a snow. 556 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,680 Oh no. 557 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,680 I know. 558 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,680 And they want to attack you for no reason. 559 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,820 But if you grab them like they're going to get you. 560 00:22:41,820 --> 00:22:42,820 So this island. 561 00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:43,820 Oh, well, hang on. 562 00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:47,040 Think of it from the snakes perspective. 563 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,760 Every year giant demons. 564 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Yeah, they come and they take some of us and they take our venom. 565 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,560 We're like aliens to them. 566 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,560 Exactly. 567 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,840 I know their own little they're on their own little earth. 568 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,440 And then we just come in. 569 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,600 So what's the lighthouse story? 570 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Why is that there? 571 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,600 Hang on. 572 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,600 I'm not done. 573 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,600 I'm sorry. 574 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,360 The best part about this is the island. 575 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:14,800 The lighthouse has just a brutally small amount of information on it. 576 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,080 But the island is so cool that I figured. 577 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,080 And there's some lore. 578 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,280 So oh, speaking of lore, the venom, you know how I said, you know, they evolved over time. 579 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:31,160 And lore says that the snakes were placed there by pirates to hide buried treasure. 580 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080 And that's going to come into play later in my notes. 581 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,720 So their venom is actually very useful in medicine, which is why researchers go there 582 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,400 so often to milk them is what it's called. 583 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,400 Have you seen videos? 584 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,400 Yeah, it's scary. 585 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,600 They like they have them bite like a jar. 586 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,840 And they go so fast, too. 587 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,280 It's like in there wiggling around and it's just like shooting out of their face. 588 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Very scary. 589 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,120 It's terrifying anyone that wants to see something that's just like so unnatural and in a snake's 590 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,920 face completely morphs whenever it opens its mouth. 591 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,800 It's just like there's gums everywhere and they like unhinged their jaw. 592 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,800 Yeah. 593 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,360 And then it's like their jaw can open like, you know, jaws are split down the middle. 594 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:09,360 It's like alien. 595 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:10,360 Yeah. 596 00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:11,360 Yeah. 597 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:12,360 They just come apart. 598 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,360 It's like all their bones just like come open. 599 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,360 Yeah. 600 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:22,240 So specifically, this like golden lancehead vipers were used to develop captopril, which 601 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,720 is a widely used blood pressure medicine, mostly known under the name of Capitan. 602 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,920 I'm lucky to not know about that medicine. 603 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,960 So considering that they're only found in this one spot on earth, they're have such 604 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,560 a small footprint of their ecosystem. 605 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,760 And it's all very delicate because, you know, it's like if you reduce the amount of birds, 606 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,040 then you just reduce the amount of snakes. 607 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,680 There's no coming back, like no other second options or whatever. 608 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080 They're considered critically endangered. 609 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,160 So they're like right on the edge, even though there are so many on the island, because the 610 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,160 footprint is so small. 611 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,360 It's like the, what is it called? 612 00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:07,560 The requirements to be critically endangered are like their ecosystem footprint has to 613 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,400 be less than like 100 kilometers or something. 614 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,400 OK. 615 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,080 Or like there needs to be this many and or there needs to be, you know, like some, there's 616 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,080 just some requirements. 617 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,760 So like one of them being that home is so small is that, yeah, they're just they're 618 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,640 automatically on like critically endangered. 619 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,000 But on top of that, locals want to use the land to grow bananas because bananas are profitable 620 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,000 out there. 621 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000 I don't know. 622 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,600 I mean, it must be because you're going to go 50 miles off. 623 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,600 Yeah. 624 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,000 To a snake island to sell bananas or to grow bananas. 625 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,920 And they're hanging in the trees. 626 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,920 Yeah. 627 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,920 So they're trying to burn it down. 628 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,960 So a couple of times they'd firebomb it. 629 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,200 Yeah, there's a couple of times when they tried to burn it down, which reduces the amount 630 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,640 of vegetation and trees. 631 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,220 So less birds stop there on their way when they're migrating. 632 00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:58,680 So less birds, less snakes. 633 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,800 So there's been a large decrease in snakes over there. 634 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,040 Well, if anything happens to that island, even like a hurricane, I don't know anything 635 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,040 about that area. 636 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,040 But yeah, that's it. 637 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,040 Right. 638 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,120 Other than the ones in captivity. 639 00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:13,120 I know. 640 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,120 Well, there's only one. 641 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:15,120 Oh, really? 642 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,120 Mm hmm. 643 00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,120 I don't believe that. 644 00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:18,120 I know. 645 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,120 Really? 646 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,120 You can go see one snake. 647 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,800 It's still in Brazil, just off the coast. 648 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,820 It's like the only but I don't really know what they do with it. 649 00:26:24,820 --> 00:26:29,000 But illegal wildlife trade targets these snakes often. 650 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,900 And researchers will be approached by people offering to buy one for up to $30,000. 651 00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:36,040 If they take it when they're there. 652 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,040 What do you mean? 653 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,880 If the researchers could get access to the island to steal a snake. 654 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,720 Yeah, or like they bring some snakes back with them for like research. 655 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,720 Oh, I see. 656 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,120 I. Yeah, one of them does probably don't survive. 657 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,080 But you know, they could easily just be like, here's a snake. 658 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,000 But I don't think you'd want to unleash that on the world. 659 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000 I don't know. 660 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,800 I mean, it's just slightly different than its ancestors. 661 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,000 But I mean, look at what's happened in the Everglades. 662 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,760 I know very little about that situation. 663 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,320 But I guess people release. 664 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,960 Are they boa constrictors? 665 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,840 And they're from Africa originally. 666 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,920 I can't like Burmese pythons. 667 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,720 I don't know some giant snake. 668 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,280 It's not from the United States. 669 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,040 It's not native to North America. 670 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,040 Recavic. 671 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,400 Well, they not they've released them because they get too big for their encounter or enclosures 672 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,400 that they have encounters. 673 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,400 Yeah. 674 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,400 And then they release them. 675 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,120 But without any enclosure limitations, that breed of snake or maybe several breeds are 676 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,000 like they could be 20 plus feet long. 677 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,520 And they're that's out of control. 678 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,480 Like I heard recently it was on a podcast. 679 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,120 So take that for what you will. 680 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:45,560 But like I heard 90 percent of the mammals in the Everglades are gone. 681 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,640 Oh, no. 682 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,920 Like all the deer, all the land animals. 683 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,920 It's just like 90 percent. 684 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,920 Now, yeah. 685 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Well, because of snakes and snakes eat crocodiles. 686 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,560 No. 687 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,560 Mm hmm. 688 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,160 And well, I think it's alligators actually in the Everglades. 689 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,720 But snakes eat alligators. 690 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,720 Get rid of them. 691 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,400 I think there's there's open. 692 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,800 And so one thing that you can do to control animals and wildlife is to hunt them. 693 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Yeah. 694 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,800 Destroy them. 695 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,320 Well, there's hunting events that they like. 696 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,880 They send out hundreds of boats and it's like a competition, like a fishing competition, 697 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,720 but for snakes and they still they're not at all close to managing that problem. 698 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,000 So when when I say, oh, this should just, you know, take a couple and put them in zoos 699 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,120 or release them, these special snakes from Brazil. 700 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:29,120 Yeah. 701 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,120 Unintended consequences. 702 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,120 You know, that's funny. 703 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,240 I forgot what I was going to say. 704 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,240 I'm sorry. 705 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,040 You're talking about how sometimes I get a say about what you were saying. 706 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,400 But I can't remember what it was. 707 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,120 I talked so long at the moment came and she got bored and then thought of something else. 708 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,120 No. 709 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,920 What am I going to have for breakfast tomorrow? 710 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,360 I can't. 711 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,360 I can't have breakfast. 712 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,360 They don't know that. 713 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,360 I'm having surgery tomorrow. 714 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,480 I remember that time when I broke my foot like a year ago. 715 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Yeah. 716 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,480 Yeah. 717 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,480 I'm still disabled. 718 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,480 So surgery tomorrow. 719 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,480 It's all patched up. 720 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,240 I'm going to be on my butt again for a long time. 721 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,600 It's going to be good. 722 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:14,720 On that note, we'll move into the lighthouse, which there is like two bullet points of information. 723 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,800 I kind of want to know more about the snakes. 724 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,800 I know. 725 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,800 I wish I had more. 726 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160 But you guys can go to our website to check out all of our resources. 727 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,600 I will be linking lots of articles about this island. 728 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,120 And also please do send us lighthouses to cover because this one is from a listener 729 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,600 and it's super awesome and I would have never seen it if someone hadn't said something. 730 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,560 So it's built in 1909. 731 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,680 It's very boxy. 732 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,320 I think it's concrete. 733 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440 It's like gray. 734 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,200 There's no seams of like rock. 735 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,440 It's not really pretty or anything. 736 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,000 It's a lot for just for utility. 737 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Utilitarian. 738 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000 Yeah. 739 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,400 It's definitely not for show or anything mainly because there's nobody here. 740 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,400 Yeah. 741 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,400 The snakes don't care. 742 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,640 It has a neat little like stone balcony on top, I want to say. 743 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,280 But there's so few pictures of it that I can only guess about what exactly it looks like. 744 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,000 It could just be a trick of the photo or something. 745 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,600 It looks like a cool balcony, but you go up and it's just like a fence or something. 746 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,600 You know, it's a very few pictures like Google Earth to have pictures of the island. 747 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,600 Google Earth. 748 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,600 Yeah. 749 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,600 Never used Google Earth. 750 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,320 Well, we can look into it. 751 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,320 It's pretty neat. 752 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,520 I've used Google Earth in my Geology 101 class, but I haven't used it to look at anything 753 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,520 in particular. 754 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,520 You know what I'm saying? 755 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,520 I know what you're saying. 756 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,760 Picking up what I'm putting down. 757 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,520 They're protecting the snakes. 758 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,180 So it was only manned for a little over a decade before it was automated. 759 00:30:39,180 --> 00:30:41,080 So it was like early 1920s. 760 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,080 Yeah. 761 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,600 That they automated it. 762 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,680 And how this came to happen is down to local legend. 763 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:57,760 So let me give you the wild stories of what happened to make this an automated lighthouse 764 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,920 aside from the fact that no people should be living on this island. 765 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:02,920 Because it's snake island. 766 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,640 Yeah, because it's snakey, snakety, snakey. 767 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:13,240 Most logical explanation is that they moved, keepers just moved off the island because 768 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,160 they didn't want to be around snakes and it's far away from the mainland. 769 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,920 So you just automate the lighthouse. 770 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:27,560 The next theory is that a keeper asked for a rescue team and because he had been bit 771 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:33,080 by a snake, which by the way, he'd be a goner when he got there or when the team got there, 772 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,400 he was nowhere to be found. 773 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,920 And one by one, the members of the research team ventured into the forest to find this 774 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,760 keeper guy, which they should have just been like, that's too bad. 775 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,760 He's a goner. 776 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,800 Let's head out. 777 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,160 But eventually they also come to snake bites and there was no one left. 778 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,160 So they automated it. 779 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,680 I was just going to say, I was just going to say this sounds like the plot to a scary 780 00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,680 movie. 781 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Like a boat wrecks on an unknown shore. 782 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,120 The lighthouse wasn't working and there were snakes. 783 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,120 One by one, the team. 784 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,040 You find out there's like a giant one. 785 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,160 There's like a King boa, 17 feet long. 786 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,040 They're like trying to get the lighthouse to function so they can send out a message 787 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,560 and then there's another ship of the ship crashes and then they're stranded. 788 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,840 They don't know what to do and they got to survive. 789 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,960 Start crawling onto the ship. 790 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,000 They have to eat snakes because there's no other food on the island. 791 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,800 So they eat some of the snakes. 792 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,680 Then the mama snake finds out and then it becomes obvious. 793 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,680 It's not sneaky anymore. 794 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,360 Comes out and hunts them down one at a time. 795 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,360 The ground rumbles. 796 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,200 I feel like this could be a film. 797 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,200 It wouldn't be good. 798 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,640 It'd be one of those tacky, like fun films that you watch and you're like, yeah, like 799 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,160 an afternoon, you're stuck in a hotel room. 800 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,160 What's on TV? 801 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,160 Yeah. 802 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,160 Super snake yellow. 803 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,040 Like one of the really early on, like, what is it? 804 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,040 King Kong? 805 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Yes. 806 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,040 Yeah. 807 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,040 King Kong. 808 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,040 Very good. 809 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,040 I always think Donkey Kong. 810 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,960 I was going to reference Skoll Island earlier. 811 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,440 We talked about sacrificing one of the researchers each time they visited. 812 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,560 So we've had a couple of almost references. 813 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,560 Yeah. 814 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,960 We're really circling around today. 815 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,580 The last theory, which is the most gory and this one was written everywhere because people 816 00:33:12,580 --> 00:33:14,000 love a sensational story. 817 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,520 They're like, you want to go to a place where people, the last inhabitants were murdered 818 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,520 by snakes. 819 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,520 Oh my gosh. 820 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,600 Is that the theory? 821 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,680 It's that the keeper accidentally left a window open and he was staying there with his wife 822 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,040 and three children and the snakes crawled in through the window while they were sleeping 823 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,400 and killed all of them and bit them all. 824 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,600 And they were running and snakes were biting at them and they were found in their like 825 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:46,600 emergency like rowboats filled with blood because they liquefied. 826 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,600 Yeah. 827 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,280 Well, you know, if you want to keep people away from somewhere, you tell stories like 828 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,280 that. 829 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,280 Yeah, true. 830 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,280 So that was... 831 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280 It was probably just a giant marijuana crop on this island. 832 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:05,600 It's probably a giant like cocaine plant and they're like, oh yeah, snakes. 833 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,600 So many. 834 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,600 You'll die right away. 835 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,720 They pay the researchers every time they show up like, here are some snakes. 836 00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,880 Say that they're really, really scary. 837 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,880 All right. 838 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,200 That's so funny. 839 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:23,040 Anyway, so that is the end of any information on the lighthouse is that it was built in 840 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,040 1909. 841 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,040 You know what it looks like. 842 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:30,080 And the last keepers were killed by snakes. 843 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:36,160 Nowadays humans only set foot on this island once a year for, like I mentioned, the Brazilian 844 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,280 Navy and the research team. 845 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,880 They do maintenance on the lighthouse, you know, just the usual check in the bulb, sweeping 846 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:50,960 up, sweeping, rearranging furniture, redecorating, move snake, move snake, all the Amazon purchases 847 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,240 they got unpackaged. 848 00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:54,400 Yeah. 849 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,240 Access to the island is strictly prohibited. 850 00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,280 So you need special. 851 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,200 Well first of all, you need to be escorted by the Navy to go there. 852 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,160 You can't just, I mean, I'm sure people try. 853 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,040 That's why they've tried to burn down the island. 854 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,040 Yeah. 855 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,040 Kayak. 856 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,040 Exactly. 857 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,440 But if you want to go there officially, like if you're a reporter or something and you want 858 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,760 to write crazy article and just like everybody else, you need special permission. 859 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,560 Very prohibited, very sacred, mainly because people will die if they just go there. 860 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,200 There's another story about a guy, you know, a fisherman shows up on the island and dies 861 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,200 immediately. 862 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,000 It's like people just, yeah. 863 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,480 I mean that could have happened. 864 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,120 It's possible. 865 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,520 It's just like, I mean, I don't know anything, but I believe it. 866 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:45,000 If you had an environment that's isolated like an island and you dominate it with one 867 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,200 breed of animal, like it's going to be covering as much as possible all of the land or all 868 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,200 of that space. 869 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,200 Yeah. 870 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,840 So it's like every environment that they could be and they will be basically. 871 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,840 Yeah. 872 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,440 That's crazy. 873 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,760 So the, how long ago was this isolation? 874 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,760 Like we're talking hundreds of thousands? 875 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:06,760 11,000 years ago. 876 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,760 10,000. 877 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,760 Okay. 878 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,760 Yeah. 879 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,760 Okay. 880 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,760 Whatever the cataclysm was. 881 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,560 It's a long time, but, and they're all yellow. 882 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,200 There hasn't been any adaptations other than their hunting adaptations. 883 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,200 Yeah. 884 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,040 It's another problem with these snakes is that inbreeding has just naturally happened 885 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,320 because there's nowhere else to go. 886 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,320 Yeah. 887 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,880 A phenomena, especially for these snakes is that they are born as both, they're like a 888 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,200 chimera I think it's called. 889 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,400 They're born as both sexes. 890 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520 And so they're obviously sterile. 891 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,840 And so then they just die out. 892 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:38,840 They're single generation. 893 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,840 Yeah. 894 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,840 But I thought that was interesting. 895 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:46,400 That was like a random, very specific inbreeding effect. 896 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,400 Yeah. 897 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,320 Is that these snakes suffer from the most. 898 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,320 Not an advantage, clearly. 899 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,320 No. 900 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,320 They're born on genes. 901 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,320 Yeah. 902 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,200 So vice and like 60 minutes. 903 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,200 Oh yeah. 904 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,200 Did vice, you said vice cover did. 905 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,200 Yeah. 906 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,440 That was actually the video that was sent to me by a listener was the vice coverage. 907 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,280 I think it's, I think it might be like 40 something minutes, but, and I didn't watch 908 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,280 it actually. 909 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,280 Oh. 910 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,280 I know. 911 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,280 I read vice's article on it, which I'm assuming is. 912 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,280 Like, I don't want to read vice. 913 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,280 Yeah. 914 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,120 I feel bad, but you know, vice research goes. 915 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:23,160 Vice had some in my, this is all my opinion, some really interesting stories and really 916 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,560 good coverage back in the day. 917 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,320 And then recently what I've seen from vice has been much less impressive and much more 918 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,320 political. 919 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:36,880 And I wonder if like what I click on is more like how to keep your hair healthy. 920 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:37,880 And so then that's all I get. 921 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:38,880 Ten tips for summer. 922 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,880 Yeah. 923 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,480 From vice is like stuff like that, but I'm sure they have some like, you know, scientific. 924 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,480 Some hard hitters. 925 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,480 Yeah. 926 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,480 Cool. 927 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,480 Yeah. 928 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,520 Oh, this is interesting. 929 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,360 There's a show called treasure quest. 930 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,160 This is what I was talking about earlier. 931 00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:00,480 Treasure quest snake Island follows treasure hunters as they tried to find legendary Incan 932 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,080 treasure called the treasure of the Trinity. 933 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:09,880 And I couldn't find out it said it was like reality TV and there was like some big, like 934 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:16,040 I don't know what it's called, some controversy because the director had quit or, or maybe 935 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:22,040 not the director, but somebody up or up or, you know, in the team quit and said that most 936 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,260 of it was scripted. 937 00:38:23,260 --> 00:38:28,020 So I'm assuming that it was like, it was actually following these people as they were trying 938 00:38:28,020 --> 00:38:32,600 to find this Incan treasure, but I didn't go too deep into it because it's a lighthouse 939 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,600 podcast. 940 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,600 Yeah. 941 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,000 We got the night, the lighthouse part nailed down. 942 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,000 Yeah. 943 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,540 But apparently in the show they suspected like there was some historical evidence that 944 00:38:43,540 --> 00:38:47,880 pointed towards this treasure of the Trinity being on snake Island. 945 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:54,840 And so I didn't, I couldn't really find out if they actually went to the Island or if 946 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,480 they just, it was all hypothetical, you know, like if they're like, if we did go there, 947 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,640 then it would be, you know, well, so that relates to your buried treasure. 948 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,640 Or we talked about, I know that's what I'm talking about. 949 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,680 Of course we should watch the show and find out it was like 2014 or something. 950 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,680 So yeah, I'd watch it. 951 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,680 It was probably silly, but yeah, it's probably silly. 952 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,680 I think a lot of shows are scripted. 953 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,960 I don't believe most shows I see now. 954 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,840 I'm sure there's some nudging, even like, what did I watch? 955 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,800 There were some, they show some behind the scenes stuff in, oh, it's a cold, married 956 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,200 at first sight, I think. 957 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,880 And they tell them what questions to ask their, their partner. 958 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,840 And I don't believe that show at all. 959 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,840 That's entirely scripted in my personal opinion. 960 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,800 I think some of the conversation is scripted, but I think that their struggle to form a 961 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,000 relationship is real. 962 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000 It's too relatable. 963 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000 Yeah. 964 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000 What? 965 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000 You take that back right now. 966 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000 Well, not for us. 967 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,000 Okay. 968 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000 That's what I thought. 969 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,100 We have our own podcast. 970 00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:05,400 So this has been quite the flipping of scripts and themes from last time we had our lighthouse 971 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,120 cocktail hour number one. 972 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,120 What? 973 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,120 Oh yeah. 974 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,120 Oh no. 975 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:16,320 That's technically one, two and three, but you know, we did not record a screen today. 976 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,720 So what can listeners look for on our Instagram and on YouTube? 977 00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,200 What images are they going to look for? 978 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,200 What will they see? 979 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,240 I'll just post pictures of the lighthouse. 980 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,320 Maybe one of the island and what the snakes look like. 981 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,000 So you can also see that they're pretty, but deadly. 982 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,280 Sounds good. 983 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,520 You too, probably whatever you make of it. 984 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,320 I'll probably put Verde on there for fun. 985 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,320 Okay. 986 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,320 Yeah, you should. 987 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,320 Yeah. 988 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,280 And then put it next to the picture of the Emerald tree boa. 989 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,920 And yeah, that's the end of this episode. 990 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:43,920 Very good. 991 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:44,920 Yeah. 992 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:49,320 I, I, I, not a lot of lighthouse stuff going on, but I had to get back into the groove. 993 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,720 It's been our first Brazil lighthouse, right? 994 00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:52,720 Oh

00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:56,720 We should make a little map. 999 00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:57,720 The lighthouses on it. 1000 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,400 That should be like the cover of our, uh, oh, what a great idea. 1001 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,560 How cute we're going to do it. 1002 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,600 We'll put a pin on it every time we cover a lighthouse pin. 1003 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,200 You can like, we'll have to, we'll work on this. 1004 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,200 Awesome. 1005 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,160 Thanks for joining us everybody. 1006 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,160 Yes. 1007 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:18,080 And we mentioned it a couple of times, but our website is the lighthouse lowdown.com 1008 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,680 and I still have to develop it, but right now you can go there to figure out where you 1009 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880 can listen to our podcasts. 1010 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,160 And there are links to all of those. 1011 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:31,040 And then you can see sources and pictures and you can also leave us messages where you 1012 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,960 can suggest lighthouses we should cover. 1013 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:34,960 Please send us suggestions. 1014 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,900 It's so much fun whenever we get to research a lighthouse that somebody else sent to us 1015 00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,000 because it's like very purposeful. 1016 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,320 Like I'm going to deliver this lighthouse to this person. 1017 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,320 Very good. 1018
