GMMore 2069: What Weird Animal Egg Is This?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let’s explore the strange world of the eggs that birds come from. Can we identify that animal from the egg? Hmm. But first, let’s play List ‘Em All. List ‘Em All. Oh crap. Okay, I’m really going to be, do we have to go back and forth? Okay. See, you already know. I don’t know. Uh, it’s gonna be tough. Star Wars movies, okay? Star Wars movies. Let me, let me just start with… …well, let me see if I can remember. The first one… Well, you know what? I’m just gonna say Empire Strikes Back so you can say the first one. A New Hope. A New Hope. Okay. Return of the Jedi. Episode One. Episode…okay, I mean- That was just a joke. You can’t do that. Return of- Revenge of the Sith. Okay. Okay. I cannot remember any of the ones– I almost just gave you one. Um, um, um, um, okay. They made some recently. Okay. They made three. Return… I mean– Return. Yeah, return, yeah. I already said Return of the Jedi. Oh, you did say that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I’m trying to think of like, you know, like the one where they were using the CGI Carrie Fisher. Phantom Menace. No, Phantom Menace was one of those early ones. Solo. Oh, what about the one that was… Anakin was in? What was that called? Was it called… He gon’ be Vader. That’s what that one’s called. Is it called ‘The Rise of Anakin’? No, that’s not one? Rise of Skywalker’s one of ’em. Rise of Skywalker! That was my next answer. I’m making out like I know these, but when I’m put on the spot I can’t remember any of ’em. What about the ones that have been, what about the one with Donald Glover in it? It was about Billy Dee Williams. JJ Abrams did this one. Come on. I thought you’d just be able to rattle these off, man. I saw the new Dune movie. It was pretty good. I left that to Lily. All right. Let’s look. All right. Yeah. Episode four, episode five, episode six, right. The Force Awakens. Force Awakens. The last Jedi. The Rise of Skywalker. What is this, Family Feud? Attack of the Clones. Revenge of the Sith. Did we say The Phantom Menace? Yep. We said all of those. We didn’t say Attack of the Clones. We said all of the other ones. You guys want to look at some animal eggs? Yeah. I know animal eggs better than Star Wars movies. Ooh. Whatcha think this one is? It’s not just bird eggs. This is something cray. No. These are all really weird eggs that you most likely have not seen before. Ooh. But I’m going to give you options. Do you want to guess in the dark? Turn off the light. That’s some sort of insect. It’s got, he’s got, wig hair on the… It’s got those little… It’s a trilobite egg. Those little squirrely things on the end are for like, attaching onto something that’s going by. Okay. I’ll give you the options, ’cause it’s not some kind of insect. A shark, a Chinese giant salamander. I thought those were two different things. I thought it was Chinese giant or salamander. Nope. Same thing. Um, no. Or a stingray. Stingray. Why do you say it’s a stingray? I don’t know. ‘Cause I feel like those little squirrely things could turn into wings. Okay. I think it’s a, what’s the second one? Whatever that one is. A Chinese giant salamander? That’s right. It’s a shark egg! That’s a shark egg? Oh, for real? Yeah. It’s… well, it says some sharks lay eggs while others give birth. And this egg belongs to the Draughtsbord shark. It’s a species regularly found in Australia. When disturbed, the Draughtsbord shark can release, can increase its body size by inflating its stomach with air or water. I saw this Tik Tok of a shark egg. They cut off the bottom of it so that the baby shark could get out. And it was crazy. Like cut it with scissors. Eh. Yeah, I don’t want to see that happen. Hey Link, I got some uh… Some eggs for you to walk on back here, barefoot. I’ll sit in your chair here while you do that. What do you mean sit in my chair? Just so we can see you from, we can see you from all angles here. Oh, here I am. You know, it’s a saying, walking on eggshells. It’s not something literal, typically. Yeah. Right, right, right, right, right, right. Let’s see if you can do it like, like you would… like metaphorically. Yeah, I’m going to do it metaphorically. You know me in my bad moods. When I get my bad moods. When you hear a person step on eggshells, you get really angry. Yeah. And perturbed. Yeah. Right. Whiny. And just the slightest little thing will just set me off. You know me. That satisfied somebody somewhere. Not me, I’ma tell you. And also the Wiki feet people, man. They’re loving it. Ooh. I even kind of like it. You know? It kinda… It has a, really like a snow crunch kind of thing happening. Oh man. They all came with you. They all came with them. Keep them, keep them on there and then use that as a blanket to crush the next one. I wish I could make that noise with my mouth when I ate. It kinda hurts. Oh. I’m just getting less satisfied. Oh! Get every little egg. Back up. And then we got that one. Mm. That’s over. Right? That’s like Foley for something. What could that be? Oh gosh, I feel like I need to put my, I need to put my feet. I need to like… Like, walking on eggshells. I mean, how many people can say they’ve actually walked on eggshells? ‘Cause everybody should be able to say that. One more. One more. One more than there was. Everybody should do it once in their life. You know what? Pop me off a, pop me off a paper towel. Pappy. So that I’m not going to be tracking this over there. Or just hand me the whole thing. I just meant like, pop me off a couple so I can… Well, you never know how many paper towels a man’s going to need. I’m going to pop this down. All right. Show us another egg, Stevie, I’m ready. Here’s an egg. That’s a octopus. That’s a giraffe egg. You’ve seen a giraffe egg. I’ve never seen a giraffe egg. They fall, they fall out and they’ve gotta bounce. They gotta, they got so far to fall. Yeah, they got so far to fall. You don’t want ’em to break, so they gotta be made hardy. Here’s some wet wipes for your face. No, I’m not gonna do that. This is an egg, The very first thing that you guessed that the other egg was, is the category of egg this is. Some sort of insect? Yeah. Oh, so this is like microscopic, almost. This is a fly egg. Um. Does it fly, or does it crawl? Well, I have to give you your options. ‘Cause that’s going to narrow them down. Okay, do it. A moth, a cicada, or a praying mantis. Now… a cicada. It has a moth-like feel to it. Right. ‘Cause it’s got… it’s a little silky- It’s got flakes on it. It does look like- Moth flakes. It’s got frosted flakes on it. How big do you think it is? And would you just eat one? Yeah, I think that’s a moth. Would you just pop it in your mouth? ‘Cause a moth can make a chrysalis for itself. Right? [Voice off-screen] What is a moth first? What is a moth first? A moth is like a worm first. It’s just basically a caterpillar- Yeah, ’cause it makes a chrysalis. …that doesn’t become a butterfly. So this is a chrysalis. It’s like a caterpillar that gets the raw end of the stick. It’s a moth. Praying mantis. Oh. He’s like, “Yeah, that’s my egg.” They can- You like my handiwork? This is an egg sac. And they can lay up to 300 eggs inside of it. What? So these two pictures are not to scale? Correct. 300 eggs, man. What if you had 300 kids, man? Dang. What if you could do that just in one go? Just 300. I mean, I, the wedding I recently went to. Yeah? The family, the father of the bride, was from a family of eight, and it was four brothers and four sisters. And I had just never seen so many family, so much family together. It was like the way people used to do it. Yeah. That would be like a grandparent thing? You hear of like, great grandparents. Like a lot of siblings. My grandparents, lot of siblings. But by our parental generation, it got a lot rarer. It was less common. Kinda like this chrysalis. Right, right. Really rare. It’s a metaphor, really. Just like the walking on eggshells. How… what kind of relationships would you manage with 300 kids? Would it be like, No. I’m just, I’m going to pick one. I’m going to pick one to really like. Yeah. I’m going to like, sort of manage my time. Because you’re not going to really love any of them. You know? You can’t love 300 kids. I think you just love the one- You can love the idea of them collectively. Just the ones that work for you for free. Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah. How about another one? Yeah. Here you go. Okay. So this is, this is microscopic looking. That… That’s something underwater. I thought it was on the underside of a leaf. Yeah. I think a leaf, because the options are tic, stinkbug, or ladybug. Oh, that’s lady bug. They’re so pretty. And they already got the little dots on there. Do you think that the eggs would be as pretty as the lady itself? That is a philosophical question. That’s crazy looking, though. Are the eggs as pretty as the lady itself? Well, what is beauty? It’s got like, tentacles in a circle. It’s so wild. And then you see this like, flecked thing in there. You know what? It probably isn’t lady bug. It’s just the person who saw this and came up with these questions was like, it kind of looks like lady bugs. I think it’s ironic- I say lady bug. …is that, it’s so pretty, that it’s actually a stinkbug. Going stinkbug. It’s a stinkbug. Yes! And it says most eggs look white when they lay them underneath leaves. But the stinkbug changes the egg color to brown when they lay eggs on the top side of the leaves, to protect the eggs from UV, like the ones in our egg photo. I’m gonna do brown eggs. You think I should do brown eggs this time? The stinkbug doesn’t waste the brown coloration on the underside eggs? That’s interesting. And how does it make that decision? Like, what is happening? ‘Cause it doesn’t even have a brain, really. It’s wild, man. It’s not like, “I’m gonna do brown eggs today.” It’s just like, something that just happens. It’s wild. Nature is wild. Have you ever gotten ahold of one of those stink bugs? Like as a kid, I like touched one, and then like, Do they stink? Oh. It’s just horrible, what it does to you. What’s it smell like? Um, not like a stink bomb. It’s more like a strong must. Huh. You must try it yourself. You must listen to our podcast, Ear Biscuits. Watch the newest episode in video form on the Ear Biscuits. YouTube channel. That’s my plug. That’s what I’m humbly asking you to do. You can stream the audio version wherever podcasts are allowed. We’re talking about all types, we talk about all types of stuff. Wherever podcasts are allowed? Yeah, yeah. You know, less and less places these days, the way they’re cracking down on podcasts. Oh really? Yeah. Censorship. Wherever they’re allowed. Listen to us talk about our true lives. Okay. This next one really grosses me out. Oh no. Ew. That looks like… It looks like somebody with a buzz cut got too close to a, like a saw. Yeah. Scalp-ish. It looks like an infected cat butthole. Yeah, uh huh. It’s like a thing you put over your cat’s butthole so that you don’t see the butthole. But you think it’s still the butthole? You get it at a makeup store. You you get it at like, Kirkland’s. And it’s just like, Why would you put something uglier than a butthole over a butthole? Kirkland’s? Well, because it doesn’t have a hole, really. It just has sort of a translucent film. What’s up with your cat? Uh, it doesn’t have a butthole. Today I went to Kirkland’s. It’s so strange. It’s hairy on the edges. Yeah, so it blends in with the other hair. Ugh! This is underwater. Correct. Is it a sting ray, shark, or a whale? We’ve already had shark. It’s not a whale. Whales don’t have eggs. Whales are mammals. Ha! That is a stingray. It’s gotta be a stingray. It’s a shark! It’s another type of shark, the ghost shark. Ew! I’m telling you. Ew, it is. Sharks… ugh. Sharks can be really ooie. And that one definitely does. I mean, it’s a… I mean, sharks don’t even have hair. Do you see what’s going on on the bottom of that shark? Like under its nose? Like it looks bigger than… maybe that’s why they call it a ghost shark, because that nose goes down and curves back. And you think that it’s connecting to make more body, but it’s not. It’s just a big hook nose. It says that other names are elephant fish or Saint Joseph shark. Yeah, it looks just like Saint Joseph. It’s only in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. Oh, and some reports in South Africa. Oh, a couple of them got across, huh? Over around the horn. Mhm. Man. How about this? Oh my goodness. That is crazy. That’s like a drill bit. It is a complete drill… I think actually, that is just a piece of a screw. All that is, this is a trick. It’s a broken off screw. This is a broken off screw. Ha! We’re not falling for this. This is… now why would this need to be shaped like this? It’s embedding itself in something, which means it’s a species that doesn’t care for its young. That’s for sure. ‘Cause this sucker is going to be like- It screws the egg into the ground. …screwing down somewhere and like, leave it alone. So we’re talking something that’s- It’s a termite. This is an insect. Nope. Oh, crap. What do you mean? It’s just a screw. I mean, I, uh, looked at the choices after I said nope. And I rolled out one of them. So is it a shark or an eel? What do they do? Do you know what… where they screw it? It’s an eel. It’s gotta be an eel. Sharks can’t have every kind of egg. Sharks can’t screw. Sharks don’t get every egg type. Uh uh. That’s just not how nature works. They can’t be that weird. It’s a shark! Sharks have the weirdest eggs! It’s a horn shark. And it says the packaging consists of a material similar to fingernails or hair, and forms around a fertilized egg in the mother in an organ called the… mhm. O-oviducal. Oviducal, yeah. Gland. The oviducal. Shawty gotta oviducal. They don’t know how it actually, the shape develops. They don’t know? And they don’t know why? Is it like, when it comes out, does it like, corkscrew to the bottom? Sharks have the craziest eggs. YouTube title. Yeah. That would work about seven or eight years ago, maybe. Let’s just try it and see. This is… eggs are, these eggs are so gross. Eggs are lit. YouTube title. Look at these next eggs. It just makes me uncomfortable. It looks like a purse. A little clutch. It looks like an awesome purse. A handbag. Where’d you get your purse? Well, it’s an egg first of all. Squeeze it. It’s not a purse. There’s two of them. I mean, good Lord. It looks like a bean with a zipper. You know? I mean, that is incredible. You like it? I love everything about it. I want to touch it. I want to put it in my mouth. You want to see if it can hold your keys? Yeah. I want to put my, I want to put my credit cards in it. Can you call my keys, please? I just don’t want to keep them in my pocket. I mean, you have the handbag. I don’t even know anymore. Shark. It’s gotta be a shark. Cockroach, centipede, fire ant. What was the first thing? Cockroach. Oh, that’s a fire ant. And you know what? There’s about 50 million fire ants in each of those purses. Oh gosh. You’re probably right. Kidney beans. Cockroach. Oh, co- ugh! Why do we find that… so, did I tell you- Cockroaches taste like caramel. I’ve probably said this at some point. My dad, you know, before he taught law for 40 years, he practiced law, and one of his partners at some point, I don’t know which one, had a thing that he would do, where he would, if there was a roach in the room, he would catch it and eat it in front of everybody. That’s cool. As a prank… as like a show off. What a show off. Can you believe that? [upbeat electronic music] Can’t believe it. Anybody out there do that? Don’t. Don’t.
