The biggest take away I have from this is that Ceri is a wise woman who also hates the texture of beans.

[@jebus456]

fair assessment

[@jessicalocklear762]

Needs to mix in pico into dem beans. That's the best. :3 nomnomnom

[@beccab8015]

I have to agree with her. I also despise the texture of beans. Too starchy. Like eating grainy paste.

[@kathrynhawkins7911]

I have so many around me that love beans. I always felt so alone not liking their weird texture. Not anymore 😅

[@julescaru8591]

I’m going to look for that poopoopeepaedia! Thanks for this guys , very informative and entertaining 👍 All the best Jules 😘

[@zulimi]

Where I live moray eels have two sets of teeth. One in its mouth and the other is hidden deep in its throat.

[@michellevdheever7619]

7:41 🤷 Well, 🇿🇦 Afrikaans (re Dutch) uses 'tand' (soft 'd') for tooth. 🧐 So maybe it went: dent, dant, tant, tanth, tooth? 🤔 Maybe folks didn't have front teeth & 'tant' became 'tanth' then 'tooth'. 🤭

[@mmartinez2325]

I love all you guys NEVER stop doing this!!

[@nicksamek12]

The origin of poopoopeepeepeedia? Love to hear it again.

[@kitsu_noshi]

The german word for tooth is (Zahn). Dandelions in german are (Löwenzahn) which means "lion tooth". Cogs in germany are called "Zahnrad" which would translate back into english as "tooth wheel".

[@kari-gs4eq]

Hank and Sam simultaneously WOWing 😄

[@pigeonshit440]

OMG THE ORIGIN OF POOPEEPEEPEEPEDIA!

[@sativaburns6705]

Nothing like a pacu smile...

[@bethmeredith]

Very informative..

[@JohnathanAbel]

First I guess lol

[@ThatGirlOddity]

Could we get an episode all about how sea animals sleep? I saw a TikTok about how seals sleep and the seal was just floating around with some seaweed lol But it made me wonder.. how do a lot of sea animals sleep if they’re NOT floating around in the water currents? Like a shark or a whale or a squid or jellyfish? How do they sleep????

[@mariacora6413]

I've heard that dolphins can sleep with half of their brains at a time, so that the other half keeps them alert enough to breathe air when they need to!
