Transcript

SPEAKER_09 0:07

Hey everybody, did you hear about the robbery at the grocery store?

SPEAKER_11 0:11

No.

SPEAKER_09 0:11

They took a pallet of paprika and a palette of oregano. The police suspect it was a work of seasoned criminals. Oh. And I I have some advice to companies that are short-staffed. They should hire taller people. Or have larger ladders. And what is the best lunch to have during a fight? Well, a club sandwich, of course.

unknown 0:32

True.

SPEAKER_09 0:33

And fight club sandwich. Yes, and a fight club sandwich. Tavan, recently at Ferlandia.

SPEAKER_06 0:37

Did you talk about that sandwich?

SPEAKER_09 0:39

Yeah. Recently at Furlandia, I found out that one of the DJs uh had a son. Do you know what they named him? I do not. Eric. Eric, Eric, Eric, Eric. And finally, when they are rehearsing for Lord of the Rings, they did not have anything ready for Bilbo, so they had to use a Frototype. And I apologize for all of that. No, I don't. Now let's get cooking. No. Well, greetings of U Bark Fluff to all the creatures in the Potverse. I am Barely, and you are listening to Barely Furclasing?

SPEAKER_06 1:25

You are listening to Barely Furclasting featuring Kamari. Featuring Ty Vane.

SPEAKER_09 1:34

Ty Bane, yes. Tyve. Featuring Barely Furcasting featuring Tavian, the show that asks the question just what is a juke and why do we have to keep it in boxes? Coming to you from around the globe, we have Rain, TikTok, Chitaro, and Z Dig Ziggy. How are all of you? Good. That's good. Words are hard, huh? I haven't had anything to I've just started drinking my podcast fluid, so I don't know the floor. Oh, that's why.

SPEAKER_11 1:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:00

All I'm gonna say is one word for Landia.

SPEAKER_09 2:03

There you go. It is everything about you right now, right? Absolutely. And of course, there there is the namesake of our six-year show, Tabin. How the fluff are you today, Tabin? Hello. Hello. Hello.

SPEAKER_02 2:23

Oh, that yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. How low can you go? I'll just say hi. How is every fur doing tonight? We already covered that because barely asked them, and they said, so I will say, time for Jesse for a walk. And how you I'm so stupid. And how you should do about English. And Furlandia is happening right. I can't do this. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

So Ferlandia is happening right now. Right now. Somebody is listening w right now when this episode drops.

SPEAKER_09 2:59

Fair enough. Oh, goodness gracious. David, is there anything you don't understand before we get going? I there's two things. Two things, yes.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

One is what's with that Ferlandia Eric thing that you I don't it's what? It's a DJ.

unknown 3:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 3:17

Right. And what do DJs do? Rick Rick Rick Rick Rick.

SPEAKER_03 3:23

Now I don't understand why I asked to redo none of us do. It's not that. Um and the other thing I want to know is I don't understand this. Why do they call it beans and franks? And where exactly has Frank been?

SPEAKER_09 3:43

He's being all around the world.

SPEAKER_03 3:45

Bean in the can. And for any fur that is wondering, I actually had a reason why I thought about that is because the title of this episode is Franks and Beans. And I don't understand that either.

SPEAKER_04 3:59

It's beans and Franks, not Frank.

SPEAKER_03 4:01

It's beans and Franks.

SPEAKER_05 4:03

Well, I do know that beans. Beans and hot dogs are usually cooked together, and hot dogs are also called Franks, so therefore beans and Franks.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

But why is this episode called Beans and Franks?

SPEAKER_09 4:16

Because I felt like calling it Beans and Franks, for the reason that I call all of our episodes something off the wall.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

And what is the there's gotta be something psychological in why you decided to call this particular episode beans and franks. He was hungry. He was hungry. It is now figured out, and I am satisfied with that answer.

unknown 4:43

Sure.

SPEAKER_06 4:43

What are you hungry for?

SPEAKER_09 4:45

I mean, our last episode was called called Unglazed Pottery, so you know.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

Oh now it makes sense. That's right.

SPEAKER_09 4:54

Sure, you know, you gotta keep your peasants and franks in your unglazed pottery. Pickle me Timbers. Pickle your timbers? Apparently. Pickle your timbers. Alright. That takes us up to the past today. TikTok, you have something you want to talk about.

SPEAKER_08 5:16

Yeah, so uh during his LVFC Las Vegas FurCon recap, uh Tabin mentioned the Sin City Sisters. And that's the charity group for LVFC. And so the Sin City Sisters is a chapter of a worldwide group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Oh, I know them. Yep, I know them very well. They're an actual nunnery of Query of Queer Nuns started in where else, San Francisco in 1973. Now, from the Sin City Sisters mission, and there's a lot of $10 words. We exist as an order of 21st century nuns dedicated to the promulgation of omniversal joy and the expiation of stigmatic guilt.

SPEAKER_03 6:05

Expiation of stigmatic guilt.

SPEAKER_08 6:09

Our ministry is one of public manifestation and habitual uh perpetration. Say that again. No time fast. You can prefer every time you say it. But we work to raise money for Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program, S A D A P, fight for queer rights and visibility, do safer sex outreach, and strive diligently to keep her sense of humor, never taking hersel so seriously that we forget to have fun. Awesome. They they are a lot of fun. A fine mission.

SPEAKER_04 6:49

What were you just doing, Chitaro? I was stretching my arms. Don't you do that occasionally? Is it he's a puppy, of course he does. He does that whole stretch with his arms.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

Affirmations from Tabin, it's time for Yeah It's time for that time when we do the thing where I read some affirmations for our wonderful solidified contingent lives.

unknown 7:27

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_09 7:28

Yes. Did you say lice? Lives. Oh lives.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

I should say, why does the lice need to be uh I don't know whatever it is adjective was very so this is the part of the the show where I read about things and stuff from in this case I've got little cards with adult little doggies on them that uh say things. So let me just say the first thing that the little um what are you? Your dogs says. He says, I find humor in my journey and laugh freely. And on the back, it talks, it goes a little bit further into it. It says, Comedy break! Incorporate laughter into your day by watching a funny video or reading a comic strip. Laughter can significantly reduce stress and increase happiness. Something that Chitaro ends the show every time saying, so it must be true.

SPEAKER_05 8:29

I wouldn't be a cheetah without it.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

Or else you'd be cheetahing. Okay. The next one is a big floofy floof that says, I soak in the light of peace, feeling its warmth inside me. And on the back is sunshine meditation. Find a spot where you can sit in the sunlight. Close your eyes and imagine the sun's warmth soaking into your skin, filling your entire body with light and warm fat. And the vitamin D.

unknown 9:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

And the third one for the week. I s it's Dalmatian! Dalmatian! You said you spotted? I he boy, he spotted himself. I don't know. I center my spirit aligning with my deepest self. And on the back, it talks about centering meditation. Practice centering meditation by focusing on a mantra or a simple word that represents peace to you. And those are my three affirmations for what you know it gets blood, actually.

SPEAKER_10 10:10

I think you put barely to sleep. I know you're not supposed to poke the bear, but somebody poke barely awake.

SPEAKER_09 10:15

Tony Pokemon awake. Poke awake. Oh well, thank you for those wonderful affirmations. Affirmations. And that takes us up to our standard media section. I wanted to say to everybody that I started a new animated show on Prime called Kevin.

SPEAKER_03 10:38

Oh, I saw I saw an ad for that. It looked interesting. Uh how was it?

SPEAKER_09 10:42

It's cute. It's about an anthropomorphic cat that is forced to live on the streets after his owners are getting a divorce. And he doesn't want to live with either one of them, so he says, I'm out, he's out, I'm out. It's really cute. The animals can all talk to the humans. Uh, there are notable voice actors such as Amy Sederis and Jason Schwartzman in there. And uh it's it's really cute and it's clever. It's a clever little show. I like it. Uh I watched two movies uh in the last couple of weeks. One was Apex with uh Charlize Therone and Taryn Egerton, who you may recognize from the Kingsman or the Elton John biopic. He's a hot man. He is a hottie, and unfortunately, he plays a bad guy in this movie. Oh no, no. Yes, he plays a serial murderer in this movie. And um, but he's likable in it. Oh, yeah. If if anything, you know, he's a likable murderer, and uh that's always important. Yeah, and it's a it's a backwoods surviving a murderer movie, uh, like I said, with arrogant Egerton being the bad guy in Charlice Therone uh being the quote-unquote victim that he torments throughout the entire movie. So it's uh it's quite interesting. And it starts with a good 20 minutes of just mountain climbing. So if you're into mountain climbing, and in fact, uh Charlice Therone actually took lots of training to actually do all of the mountain climbing stunts on her own. Oh, so there are no doubles. There are no doubles for the stuff that you see her doing, so it's pretty impressive. Uh let's see, and then we watched a movie called Begonia. Uh have you seen it?

SPEAKER_08 12:22

Has anybody seen it? I saw half of it and I pieced out.

SPEAKER_09 12:26

I was like, uh you know, you should have watched it to the end because I I laughed my ass off at the end of this movie. It was so freaking ridiculous. Um but you had to walk to the end of it in order to get the for lack of a better term and without spoilers, um, Muppets. Okay. So uh so if you want to just flip to the last like 10 minutes of the movie, TikTok, and watch the Muppets, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Okay. Yeah. Um and and of course the regular nighttime cartoons, American Dad, Cleveland Show, South Park, Bob's Burgers, etc. etc. etc. Tabin, what have you been media ining?

SPEAKER_03 13:13

Well, um, well, as I as I said, the past few episodes, I'm still re-watching the first half of season three of B-Star. Well, yeah, I mean I'm watching season three of B-Stars, but I'm still on a first half that I've already seen. I've like been doing this forever. I was hoping to finish the season before Furlandia, but I'm pretty sure I won't, especially since uh we're at Furlandia, so and I didn't finish it yet.

SPEAKER_09 13:38

Well, we're at Furlandia, but we're recording this prior to Ferlandia. Several weeks prior to Furlandia, so you might actually get to finish it before.

SPEAKER_03 13:46

There is lots of magic going on. We will find out. That's right.

SPEAKER_09 13:49

Time is a function.

SPEAKER_05 13:50

Especially since you have both Ligoshi and uh Louie to be able to talk to you.

SPEAKER_03 13:55

I know. That's why I'm I uh I hope I get anyway. Um oh and speaking of, I mean, Beastars is so it's such a good show. Oh my cow. So, and and today, in today's episode that I watched, uh, I mean, no spoilers for anyone that hasn't seen any of season three or anything, but Horsey Yaya is visiting Legoshi and gives him a big melon, and then Yaya is talking about it in like metaphor and everything. And as he is, Legoshi leans over and just sniffs the melon, and it is so cute. It's so cute. You just sniff sniff while he's like talking about all the like anyway you'd have to see, but it's so cute! That wasn't the highlight of the episode, of course, but it was a pretty neat part of the episode. Um we continued our talk last time, we talked last time about suburgatory, and um we finished the that the first season of that great show, of course. You might or might not remember me talking before we watched the first season, well, that time the only season of a show called Running Point. So we started season two of Running Point. It's really good. It's um basically about some the daughter grows up in a family of like, well, basketball people anyway, and so they start a family basketball business in which they the the basketball team is the waves, and so they sponsor the waves and all that good stuff, and then the the daughter becomes like the head of the anyway, lots of lots of good stuff, and I can't even do justice. It's a really good show, it's really good. Anyway, we did that, and I talked last time or the time before about the movie Chef. So we finally watched it, and it's really good. Um, yeah, it was a few episodes okay. We talked about it, but um, yeah, no, it's a great movie. Me and my honey, we both really liked it. What was it? Uh well, so it stars John stars John Favreau, but also as people like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Dustin Hoffman actually are actually all paid play little parts in it. And then, of course, other people. No, it's related to the show. So it's about a successful chef at a prestigious restaurant. And um, there is a food critic that constantly tweets negative comments about the chef. So the little background is that Chef isn't very tech savvy, and so he asks his son, I mean, his son knows all about Twitter and everything, and he finds out about um, he wants to know what the critic is talking about online and everything. So Chef asks his son how to do Twitter so he can get an account and find out what the critic is saying about him in particular. Well, okay, so Chef gets an account and is looking at all these tweets. Chef gets fed up, no pun intended, well, kinda, and um tweets back to the critic um with his thoughts. Or well, he thinks he's tweeting back to the critic, instead of tweeting directly to the critic like he thinks he's doing, he replies to one of the tweets so that all the world can see, and it goes viral. The chef ends up getting fired from the restaurant. So, what else in the world is he going to do? He starts up a food truck. I mean, what else are we gonna do? So the movie ends up being a story not about how his new food truck career and where it takes him. Again, no pun intended, but kinda, but also about his growing relationship with his son. It was a very fun movie. Um it's a little bit of a drama, a little bit of a comedy, and I think it's well worth worth watching. You should check it out. And by the end of the movie, you feel like having sandwiches for some reason. Yes, you can imagine so it's really good. It was good. Um I definitely recommend it. Um so that's what we've been meaty or watching anyway. I've been playing Royal Kingdom and went back to watch um back to my roots, Royal Match a little bit, balloon six, beat saber a little bit. I haven't had time, you might remember the last few times I've talked about One Deck Galaxy. I haven't had time to continue trying to figure it out, but I hope to. Um, a game called Dominion was recommended to me, which is like I don't I think it's from the early 2000s or something. I don't know, but it's a deck builder that you can play either with physical cards or online. I went to look at it online, it looks like it's free. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks really interesting. We I don't know. Anyway, uh it looks interesting and fun, so hopefully I'll soon check it out and let let us all know how it goes on the next episode. And that is what I have been mediaing for a week.

SPEAKER_09 18:26

Awesome. Okay, Rain and Ziggy, our favorite Chilean people. How are you doing? And what have you been watching?

SPEAKER_10 18:33

Doing good. We haven't really been watching much because uh we've just been busy. Ziggy's schedule's been hectic lately, so we got plans to watch, but we haven't had a chance to. Yeah. Uh so I've been playing Metal that game I told you guys about last time, Metal Eaten, and then I picked up uh Call of Duty Ghosts again to play through it again because I like playing the dog Riley. That's it for me. Ziggy, what have you been up to gaming-wise?

SPEAKER_06 19:00

Happy May the 4th, May with you in Fortnite! There were some very small events where you could fight with lightsabers in Fortnite. Uh although the Star Wars uh skins returned to the store for the celebration. In game, they were no more than a few locations and just the usual foundation versus the ice skin storyline. Uh oh, and by the way, I got the hot rat boy skinny. His name is KD Radical, and he's HOTI! Yay! And uh Tavin the uh there was a balloons monkey as a tide game. Oh that's so nice.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Very, very nice. I am so excited and proud of you. And that reminded me, I found out something just yesterday. I think it was something that I know all of you already know about because you all are like always like way ahead of anything I know. But I'll say it anyway for any further that doesn't know. I found about the new Star Wars money, the Mandalorian and Grogu coming out, and that is so exciting! Yes, I'm so excited about this. Cool, cool. So I just found out about that.

SPEAKER_09 20:10

Awesome.

SPEAKER_08 20:10

TikTok, what have you been up to with uh BD? Well, we got the usual Jeopardy uh right now in between RuPaul's, so we're waiting on the upcoming All-Star season. Uh, some Tony Bourdain no reservations. Uh, we're getting kind of close to being done with those. And I also got a raging clue when we saw the South Park Hardly Boys. Oh boy. Very strange episode. Yes, on top of everything else, the Connecticut accents were hysterical. Yep, yep. And that's where I'm originally originally from. So southwestern Connecticut.

SPEAKER_09 20:47

All right, I'm sorry. We have the croquet. I'm so sorry. Okay, yeah. Uh that explains a lot.

SPEAKER_05 20:56

Nobody, yes, nobody would be able to tell TikTok.

SPEAKER_09 20:59

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_05 21:00

Chitaro, how about you? Well, because this is being recorded right before Forlandia, uh, we haven't been able to watch a lot. Uh, but mostly to wind down at night, we have been watching American Dad. Believe it or not, we finished season six and are currently on season 10 because they are very quick to watch, to be honest. Yeah. But I really do have to say some of the episodes are really out there, but I like how some of the intros to some of the episodes are very short or not there at all, you know, um, because they they need to put a little bit extra time into the storyline so they like take out the whole entire intro to to a lot of them. It's kind of cool in that regard. I will say that one night we did spend some time playing around on Netflix. This is gonna be really hilarious, but we changed the different the language for the movie K pop Demon Hunters to various different other languages. Well, so So it's interesting how Russian and Spanish and French specifically sit there, and not only do they change the voices of the actual people talking, but most movies don't change the actual lyrics of the songs. But those, they actually do sing the songs in Russian or Spanish or French, which is hilarious. And it's really interesting. Yes, but the ironic part is, and I found this kind of strange because K-pop Demon Hunters is is um, you know, it's Korean, so to speak, right? But some of the languages, like from the East Asian languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai, the voices are all done in those languages, but as soon as they start singing, boom, English. Yeah. So so it's kind of funny that we were sitting there doing this one night and it's like, okay, whatever, you know. I mean, what other things do you do to entertain yourself when you're watching something, right? I am still also playing Disney Dreamlight Valley. Um, I just recently got VB8 as a companion. Nice, you know, since Star Wars owns, Disney owns Star Wars stuff. So it's kind of fun. It is fun to see interactions with Disney characters that would not really meet in the Disney world specifically. Like, for example, Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, you know. Um she calls him a little urchin, doesn't like him very much, and they have a lot of arguments. It's kind of funny. Um, or the the best one is The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella and Jack Skellington from Nightmare on Nightmare Before Christmas. The ironic part is they had this interesting conversation about pumpkins, and now he loves her because of the fact that she's all about the pumpkin, if you remember in Cinderella turning the pumpkin into a stagecoach.

SPEAKER_10 23:48

Well, Jack is very uh suave and sophisticated for it.

SPEAKER_05 23:52

Yes, yes, yeah, and and he he he he loves everything pumpkins, of course. So it's gonna be kind of interesting to see how that goes with but it's interesting because you know I also have um you know Simba and Scar, and they say they hate each other, but yet they have very interesting interactions that are very civil. So, you know, it's like yeah, who knew, right? Who knew? Who knew?

SPEAKER_09 24:16

But that's but that's all I have been mediating. Awesome. All right, well, that takes us up to our intrepid news reporter with the furry news tick tock. What have you got for us today?

SPEAKER_08 24:34

So, according to a recent article in Vice magazine, Americans are obsessed with furries. Yes, search the US Search engine metrics have shown that web searches for furry content occur in the USA every five seconds. And that's about half the total global count, which stands at a bit over one million searches per month. Wow. Furries are popular. Next up, we uh in another recent article, this one in Dogpatch Press, had an overview of the Therion hysteria in South America a few months ago. Yeah. You know, to recap, South Americans in the earlier part of the year got swept up in a social media and gossip news frenzy over Therans, which confused therians, furries, and people not in either fandom alike. And according to our research and the article's author, the trend may have been fanned on by right-wingers to suppress opposition to certain political things, such as laws designed to reduce reduce workers' rights. However, Policio, an Argentine furry and director for Argentina for Fiesta, ARF feels differently. With the Southern Hemisphere having their summer season from December to March, there is often a gossip topic of the summer. And as the ARF director, Policio does have a vested interest in the safety of his attendees. And he's been, you know, keeping an eye on the situation. And says Policio, if you ask me, there is always a topic of the summer. We always have seen this, it's a very toxic coverage, a few interviews here and there, and people shown and made fun of. It's sad but not new. The last time, by the time her fiesta happens in the June in June, the topic will have long been left behind by the media. Or so we hope. And finally, on May 16th in Seattle, the Seattle Opera will be featuring a performance of Carmen with Christian Purcell, a bass baritone opera singer and fursuiter, also known as Chester the Jeroo. So, what is a Jeroo, you may ask? A Geroo is an anthropomorphic, kangaroo-like, kangaroo-like alien species with canine traits. And it's featured in the Haven Celestia science fiction open world created by furry artist Rick Griffin. Now, this being an open world, anyone can contribute, you know, as long as you stay within the lore and style guide as they have published on their website. Anyway, back to the opera. Uh while Christian will not be performing on stage as Chester, there will be a furry meet and greet prior to the show, and costumes are encouraged. It appears Chester will be in fursuit at the meet and greet, but I was unable to get confirmation. In any case, the Opera House request we ask all furries attending to please remove any costume fursuit heads or ears during the main performance so as to not block the sight lines of other patrons. Yeah. That's a nice thing to ask for, yes. Yeah. Yep. Complimentary coat and bag check will be available.

SPEAKER_05 28:11

Oh no. Awesome. Or or in this case, ears.

SPEAKER_08 28:14

Ear check, yes. Muzz check. That's the news for this week. Nice.

SPEAKER_10 28:32

Sweet. So Chitara, what do you got for us in the movie review department?

SPEAKER_05 28:36

Well, this week I have a very interesting movie. Um, it's from 2006, streaming on Disney Plus right now, and it's called The Wild. Oh my. And that's W I L D The Wild. Now, there's a lot of interesting things about this movie. First off, it's the last movie that Disney actually produced before they actually um put a lot of their CGI movies completely under Pixar. But the ironic part is there's a lot of big named people in this movie. Um, and I I personally do not remember this movie when it came out at all. Yeah, I don't think I've heard of it. Yeah, it it's it's a very low-key movie that Disney did. But I will say it has um it has Kiefer Sutherland as a lion, it has Jim Belushi as a squirrel, Eddie Izzard as a koala, Janine Garofalo as a giraffe, Richard Kind as a snake, and it wouldn't be uh uh a destranged m movie from Disney without William Shatner playing a wildebeest. Yeah, that is kind of funny um because his his his wildebeest character is rather crazy. Let's just say that. It's kind of funny. But but this movie starts out um with in New York, it basically is the New York Zoo, and there's people there, and what's really interesting about this is that even though you see people walking around the uh the the grounds, they never once show you a human face at all, ever. In this whole entire movie movie. Um and Jerry did.

SPEAKER_10 30:37

You never saw the ladies anywhere from but the ankles up, and that was it. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:44

You would hear them, you would hear them and things of that nature, so you knew they were there, but you know, they didn't really show their face. So it's kind of interesting uh concept there. But um, but when the zoo closed at night, then all the animals would somehow miraculously get out of their cages and gather around and talk and do stuff. And one of the funny parts is is that in the very beginning they were what they were all watching this sporting event. And the sporting event that they were playing was curling.

SPEAKER_11 31:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 31:17

They were taking turtles with their legs their legs sprawled out and they're all four legs sprawled out in their tail, and they're pushing the turtles to try to get them into a spot. It's the funniest thing ever, to be honest. So the lion, played by Kiefer Sutherland, is the main character in this movie, along with his son, who's named Ryan. Cub, I guess, but he's like a 10-year-old cub, which makes no sense because if he was 10 years old, he'd be like an adult. But yeah, exactly. One of those idiosyncrasies in movies. But the son decided that, you know, he really doesn't want you know he he's trying to learn how to roar. And the thing is that his roar is more like and his dad's roar is like rrrrrr, you know, type thing. And so he's like embarrassed over the fact that he's got this tiny little kitty meow, so to speak. And so he really wants to be able to go and explore the world and learn how to roar the proper properly, so to speak. So he ends up having something happen that he ends up getting put into a shipping container that ends up shipping him off to Africa, and his father sees that he's there, and he's like, Oh my god, I gotta rescue my son. Well, on top of the lion trying to rescue his son, there's also the squirrel and the koala and the giraffe and the snake, you know, who all go with him. They end up going and and taking this boat to Africa to find his son. And and of course, that's where they end up finding uh William Shatner's character is the wildebeest, who who is this crazy crazy wildebeest who wants to be on top of the food chain, let's just say, and he wants to be able to eat a lion to put himself on the top of the food chain. Yeah. Yeah. It's got some pretty interesting things going on in this movie. Like, for example, while they're escaping the zoo, they end up escaping the zoo in a garbage truck. And in um as they're passing by on the garbage truck, you can see all sorts of things like um you can see a a shout out to Disney uh on on one of the marquees of the city as they're passing by and Kodak and various other companies that are along uh the skyline of New York. But what's really funny is they end up getting chased by these dogs and then they end up in the sewers and things like that. And they have like I said, they eventually get to to the docks and they go on a boat and they go to Africa and they they find, you know, they go to find Ryan in Africa. So Ryan the Lion. Ryan the Lion, yes, absolutely. And so so it's a kind of an interesting movie, and a lot of cool music from a lot of interesting people. Um, Coldplay for one. Oh so the music is rather uh cool in in the aspect of of the movie. Um now I will say that the graphics of this are a little bit strange because, like I said, it's all CGI, but it's the CGI uh that is a little bit more of the old school CGI, not like that new stuff that's out like nowadays, you know, because again, this is from 2006, 20 years ago. A little low polygon? A little bit, yeah. You can sort of see that occasionally and um and stuff like that. But I again it's not anything to like distract you from the movie, so to speak, but but it does have that a little bit different look to the animals and stuff like that. And the koala specifically has this funky look on his face, like something's wrong with him. But you know, that could just be because he's a koala. But um, yeah. But but the the there there was something that I read in on IMDB about this because I like reading um on IBM DB all the trivia stuff that's on there. And one of the things that I that I do want to mention because it's really hilarious, you know, because because Keefer Sutherland at the time when this movie was being produced had two children and they were pretty young, and they he didn't want to startle them because he he had to physically learn how to roar for his character. So instead of doing it at his home, he would do it while he was in his automobile driving. So here he is driving along the city streets, and he's practicing his roaring, and he ended up getting really good, and he startled this woman so badly while he's in his car, you know, and stuff. So so it's kind of an interesting movie, uh, with a lot of interesting, um, uh interesting people in it. And and like I said, um I I I I enjoyed it. I'm I'm I'm kind of partial to Eddie Izzard only because of the fact that we share a birthday. But um but you know, he he he is well technically I should say she is actually a very uh talented voice actress. So um uh but uh but yeah, I I would say that people should go and see this this movie, even though it's got a couple of strange idiosyncrasies, like for example, the boat that they steal from the docks in New York goes all the way to Africa and all the way back without losing power or gas or anything like that. So, you know, it's uh the magic of cinema.

SPEAKER_10 36:30

Yes, that is some fuel economy right there. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. And in today's world, you need a boat like that.

SPEAKER_05 36:36

Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Um, but you know, I I still was entertained by it. There's lots of funny jokes, you know, and and the the fact that the squirrel is in love with the giraffe is even more hilarious. Okay, you know, yeah. Um, and so so I give this, I I will give this three and a half chirps because um, you know, it it did entertain me enough. It it did have a lot of interesting moments where you go, what the you know, but but it is fun, it's entertaining. The the actors did a really good job, even though it's William Shatner, he did do a really good job playing a crazy wildebeest. Nice. So, yeah, so uh so go out there, all you furs, Disney Plus, it's streaming right now. Uh The Wild. You won't be disappointed.

Welcome to BFFT Labs, where we make the past feel like the future. As we look forward to season seven of BFFT, we are trying to come up with fresh new segments for your entertainment and our silliness. To that end, and each episode from now until season seven premiere, we will try out one of our new ideas for segments to see how they work and how you, our listeners, feel about it. Please let us know what you think by email or telegram or on the comment section on BuzzSprout. This episode we are featuring a musical guest. This musician has made an appearance every season of BFFT, Casty Civet, the number one Civet musician in the furry fandom. So let's take a listen to their music.

SPEAKER_07 43:20

The green glows like gold. Let's just cut to the chase. Let's get right to business. I'm the dominant, I know one secret. Hold me by because I bend the rules for the I just have nice to me. I got a views. I'm in my prime. Yolloom pulls me back to the ground rope. So I make it. I think what I like, because this is my life. Experimenting with pop and rap at the same time. Making infusions like they've never seen. You ever even have mixed race quick the green blues like you overthink to see a pen the green blues light you overthink to chatters I heard y'all don't get the metaphor break it down and get it through another round to get first before you forward so many layers you could get real lost I wonder if there's any theories on TikTok. Go back in my open garden, you can be living like an artist. You could be if you tried your hardest, but you only started. I'm not crazy, I'm pursued by lots of trouble. Nothing better to do. I only create about you only cut back on the world too. But you know I've been on seven seeds of all the movies, cheat up. So spread your seeds with me, nurture your creativity, and when I'm gonna do it, but you cheat up to cheer up.

SPEAKER_10 45:32

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_09 45:34

Again, that was the number the number one civet musician in the furry fandom. Thank you for that wonderful track, Cassidy. Oh, you're welcome. Oh, look who walked into the studio. It's Cassidy.

SPEAKER_03 45:51

That could not have been planned or anything. That's amazing. I know. No, definitely not planned.

SPEAKER_09 45:57

And if you like that track, why not give Cassidy some support by contributing to their Patreon at www.patreon.com forward slash Cassidy Sivet. That's capital C, little A, little S, little S, little I, little D, little Y, capital C, little I, little V, little E, little T.

SPEAKER_07 46:15

We love you, Cassidy. Streams anywhere are good too, you know. YouTube, Spotify, all that. It's all it goes a long way. Awesome.

SPEAKER_09 46:22

Awesome. Well, it was kind of a surprise for you to come in. Uh, thanks for coming in. Uh because you haven't been on our season this yet. I don't know. I haven't. So you had to make an appearance. You haven't been seasoned yet. No. So it's very important that you're here this season because we only have two RC.

SPEAKER_07 46:37

Well, I'm here to provide the mixed race cuisine, right? Yes.

SPEAKER_09 46:40

Absolutely. Absolutely. So uh before we get on with our other stuff, what have you been up to lately? I understand uh you've been kind of busy up there in uh Canada.

SPEAKER_07 46:50

Oh yeah, I mean, uh in the last while since I've been on, I think like honestly, was it like get out the float? Was like maybe the last like appearance. That was like February last year. So uh since then, you know, I've I've released uh this song. Uh I have a couple more in the works. I I ran for office twice, so that was fun. Did you win? No, but I was on stage and I I spoke truth to power, and that's important in its own way. I was the green candidate, so you know. Uh not like we they're not always the you know the shoe-ins to win anyway. It's just about being there. Uh I got my own place. I have been tending to my garden. I'm trying to grow like a massive sunflower patch for the first time, and that's been pretty successful so far.

SPEAKER_06 47:34

What about chia pets?

SPEAKER_07 47:36

Yeah, well, I would be growing chia pets if I could eat the chia, uh, but you actually can't eat the chia from the chia pets. They don't inv they don't recommend it.

SPEAKER_05 47:45

It's also poisonous to animals, so the animals out there don't eat it too.

SPEAKER_07 47:50

What is it exactly? You're just supposed to look at it and smile. What exactly is it? Is it beans, bro? What is it? Chia is a kind of uh that is what it is, sort of. It's sort of like if you've heard of like uh I don't know, like uh hemp seeds or other sort of like nutritional. Yeah, okay. It's just that, and they're just the seeds you eat them whole, you know. It's uh I'm trying to think of other examples. Like quinoa is another one. Animal. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_09 48:18

Wink wink, right? Wink wink, say no more, nudge nudge nudge as good as a wink to a blind pet, you know.

SPEAKER_07 48:25

Yeah, uh, there's a video for uh Chia Pet as well uh that I had a lot of fun shooting to look like an infomercial. Uh it went crazy viral on uh Twitter slash X the Everything app like two weeks ago. Uh so that was fun. A lot of comments like Wow, living in an empty apartment, and it's like, guys, it's supposed to look like an infomercial. Like suspend your disbelief for just a moment. Maybe I don't live in the void.

SPEAKER_09 48:52

Or maybe you do and you enjoy it.

SPEAKER_07 48:55

Maybe I do, and maybe I do enjoy it. Yeah, it echoes real nice, you know, the reverb.

SPEAKER_09 48:59

Yeah, well, congratulations on your new place. Wonderful song. Uh, you're welcome to stick around with us for a little bit if you want. Uh, but it was nice for you to pop in, but uh please feel free to stick around and we're gonna go on to our math section with Tabin.

SPEAKER_07 49:11

Whoa. All right, I like math. Whoa.

SPEAKER_03 49:18

So the last several, and hi Cassidy, good to see you again. I had noticed actually just I think yesterday that you haven't been on in like a while. So this is very timely and wonderful. Everyone's thinking about me today, and I'm here. Yeah. You manifested me. We just poofed you into existence. Um have to see you and hug you at a con again someday. Um, but before we do that, I do have some math type things to talk about. So the last several episodes, we've talked a little bit about um like four-dimensional things and higher-dimensional objects and stuff and um cool things like that. And last episode I I said I would, because of whatever I talked about last time, I said this episode today, I would talk a little bit about a little more about um higher dimensions and ways to look at flat at um four-dimensional objects and and study them and things. And I want wanted to do that in terms of flatland, which I mentioned, and barely mentioned, and I do think this is true, that back in like season one or something, I talked about Flatland. And I couldn't find, and this was before like I kept my show notes, so I couldn't find actually where it was, but it's somewhere back there. Anyway, so I'm gonna talk about it again. And for any fur that wants to know more about it, go back and listen to every single one of our episodes from the beginning and find the episode I talk about Flatland on, and you can learn more about Flatland. And by the way, if you do find it, let us know so that I know where it actually was. Okay, anyway, so uh what am I gonna do? Oh, yeah, so let me first, I mean, I've been talking about Flatland, let's talk a little bit about Flatland, what it is. So this is um a book. It's actually called Flatland: a Romance of Many Dimensions. And it's a book by Edwin Abbott, first published in 1884, so it's pretty old. It was actually originally published to critique Victorian society's rigid hierarchy and explore the concept of higher dimensions, and that it does. It's it's a pretty cool read. Um, creatures of fat of flat land need to go on diets, whereas creatures of flat land are just shapes, like if you were to look down at them. Um, but so it's flat land, so it's a two-dimensional universe where the creatures are these shapes and things. And what do the creatures see? They they don't see shapes, they just see lines, right? So we've got this two-dimensional universe where the creatures are just they just see lines, they just if you can put yourself in their shoes as it were, what what do they see? They see lines and stuff like that. And if there were a three-dimensional being that were floating around that, like you, for example, you're a three-dimensional being, if you were to put your finger into flatland, or your posie, as it were, into flatland, what would they see? They would see, remember, they only see lines, so they would see this line that's that just appeared, this little dot that appears out of nowhere. And as you put your posy more into flatland, that dot would turn into a line that just gets bigger and bigger. And as you take your posy out of flatland, it they would see um a line getting smaller, smaller, smaller, and then just magically vanish. Do you see that kind of makes sense? Yeah. It's kind of like perspective. It's huh? Kind of like perspective. It it is, but so like to the flatlanders, this is a magical thing. It's like it's just this thing, as far as they know, a creature is appearing out of nowhere and getting bigger and then smaller, then disappearing. But to us, it's like, well, you're just putting your pose in there. It's like anything. Now, if a flatlander came along and wanted to catch this, well, they don't know it's a three-dimensional being, but if they wanted to catch this thing, what would they do? Well, they find it, your the the posy finger in there, they they find it, and then they build um a metal, maybe a cage around it. And their cage, of course, if you look were to look down on it, it's just like a square. But to them, they're like, Well, there is no way this thing can get out because there is no way out. But then all you would have to do is pull your posy out and it's gone. And the flatlanders are just mystified and amazed by how can this be? But to us, it's like, um duh. So similarly, if a four-dimensional being were to interact with our three-dimensional world, well, if it took its four-dimensional flangey or whatever it is, and started sticking it into our world, what would we see? We would see like this sphere or maybe a circle or something just appear out of nowhere, just floating around, and then get bigger and bigger and smaller and smaller, and then it would just disappear, and we'd be like, what is this sorcery that's going on? But I mean, to the four four-dimensional creatures, it's like, um, I'm just doing the thing I do. I'm just I'm just messing with your heads, you stupid little three-dimensional creatures. Now, so that's a four-dimensional being. What if a five-dimensional being interacted with our world?

SPEAKER_11 54:26

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 54:26

I mean, you can maybe imagine that there's just so many more things that the um the five-dimensional being could could do. It's just amazing and just kind of mind-blowing to think. And side note, some people use the idea of a higher-dimensional being to explain the existence of God. Which I when you think of it, it makes sense because to us, God or any any mystical being like that doesn't make any sense with what it can do, but but all they're doing is like sticking their finger in the world or whatever. So it's kind of mind-blowing, right? Everyone say right. Right, correct. Right. Yes, absolutely. Since you're so excited about that, I want to talk about a related way to think about higher dimensions. Are you ready? I'm ready. Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_10 55:14

Oh, by the way, Tabin. Hi! A fifth-dimensional being is Mr. Mrs. Mr. Mixius Pitlick from Superman.

SPEAKER_03 55:23

Okay!

SPEAKER_10 55:25

Yes. He's the one you gotta get to say his name backwards to get him to go away.

SPEAKER_03 55:30

No, I I don't think I uh So a really good way to think about higher dimensions. So first think about a three-dimensional cone. So um, you know what a cone is? Like it's got a pointy end and then it's cone of shape up at it's cone-shaped, right? And it's like an ice cream cone. Yes, like it's an ice cream cone, right? So think of an ice cream cone without the ice cream in it, and like standing up vertically, so on on a um on a pointy end. Okay. Now, one way to analyze such a thing is to look at cross sections. So, what I mean by that is if you were to take a knife, for example, and and slice it through horizontally, or you could do vertically, I mean don't really slice it, but if you were to imagine that, a cross section would be the two-dimensional thing you get. So, for example, horizontal cross sections are oh, pop quiz, I'll just ask you, what do you think? If you take a horizontal cross section of a cone, what do you get? Two circles, an ellipse. You you get a bunch of circles. Well, you get one circle every time you slice it through, depending on where you slice it. So smaller circles, bigger circles, whatever. Right. Now, if you look at vertical cross sections, for example, pop quiz, think about it. What would you get if you took vertical cross sections? A triangle. Barely ding ding ding. Some forgive me a ding-ding ding.

SPEAKER_01 56:53

Ding ding ding.

SPEAKER_03 56:54

Ding ding ding ding ding ding. Oh, that worked too. I thought Brain was gonna do a little button thing, but that works too. I don't have a ding-ding-ding button. Okay, so that's good enough. Okay, good enough. Look at how technological we are tonight. So, yeah, so um, in one point of view, you get these circles, and another cross-section, you get these triangles. Now, someone that has not never seen or even understand the concept of maybe three dimensions, so for example, a flatlander, this seems utterly bizarre that you're looking at the same thing, but from one direction, you're looking at circles, but another perspective, you're looking at triangles. How can such a thing be? It's so crazy. But really, um, we know that if you just kind of add up these cross sections in, so to speak, you get this cone, and it makes um total sense. Similarly, if you were to look at a four-dimensional object from one viewpoint, it might look one way, but if you look at it from another viewpoint, it might look completely different. Not at not at all, like it could even match up or anything. So, and this is so a few weeks, a few episodes ago, I talked about um in VR this um uh this uh app I got that um helps you visualize four-dimensional things, that's magically correct, and it's this thing where you can like scroll through and it takes a four-dimensional object, and and all these weird shapes appear out of nowhere and everything, and it's like, what is that? And it's just cross-sections of a four-dimensional thing. And that's exciting too, right? Yes, and one more thing that I want to talk about is that because you're so excited. Another way to analyze higher-dimensional objects and even even three-dimensional objects, we do this is to look at projections. So, for example, and and by a projection, I just mean like take a knot take a light and shine it on an object, and the shadow that you get on a wall, that's the projection, that's that direction is projection. So now think of a and more interesting than maybe uh a ball is think of a knot. So take like a string that's all knotted up, but not all tied together so that you you've got like um spaces through it and stuff. Um, if you took a string that's all knotted up and shined a light on it in one direction and looked at the shadow on the wall, you that is this two-dimensional projection, you get a simplified view of what's going on with the knot from that direction. Like you see how it like twists and turns and everything. But then if you shine a light on the knot from a different direction, you get the same thing but from a different perspective. So, in this way, you get different information about the knot, and you can like um just like with the cone example from before, you can add up all this information from different directions and get a good idea about what the knot what's actually going on with the knot. And so, in the same way, what we study four-dimensional objects to look at its three-dimensional projections in different ways, and you and you get all this cool information about it, even though we're looking in three dimensions. And um, so indeed, in fact, studying knots in this, there is a branch of uh mathematics called knot theory, in which you um study this stuff and it's very exciting. And in general, studying high higher dimensional things in different ways is really neat and fun to think about. And if any fur out there is interested, look into branches of math called topology and difference, differential geometry, and it's all fun and exciting and cool, and everyone's so excited, and every fur goes, yay, how exciting!

SPEAKER_10 1:00:27

Yay, how exciting! Yeah, why not? Yes, we're so excited about the knots.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:32

And that is my math for the week.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:39

Well, I can tell you that a lot of furs are very excited that you were talking about knots today.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:44

Okay, well, they will really be interested in anthropology then, so can't wait to hear what you all think about it. About it. They might, they might.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:52

All right.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:53

Write us in if any of you first got all excited about all those things or anything in particular. Uh write us in and let us know, either via Telegram or um email or the uh uh the website or something, which barely will talk about pretty soon.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:08

Absolutely. All right, well, that takes us up to our shameless plugs. Well, I want to start off with a plug for the Good Furry Award. Nominations will be open now through June 30th, 2026. You may nominate as many people as you like. You may nominate them for more than one category. Please do not nominate furries who have passed away. They do not award people posthumously. The link will be in the show notes for the nomination, and maybe give our little podcast a nod. I want to plug uh our other podcast on our network, Royal Highness, that podcast, where the hosts enhance with cannabis products, then watch a show and then talk about it while they are still enhanced. Currently they are waiting for the new House of the Dragon to come out in June, but they're watching The Last Kingdom and are consuming the final season of that show, so give them some love as well. Rain, what have you got to plug?

SPEAKER_10 1:01:59

Well, I've got Three to Who, the monthly Doctor Who podcast, where my sparly, uh James, and I talk about all things Doctor Who. The current episode is all about Bad Wolf, and next month we're discussing Osgood from Unit. Uh, I have a link tree, L-I-N-K-T-R dot double e forward slash rain raccoon. That's R-A-Y-N-E-R-A-C-C-O-O-N, uh, where you can find all my projects and socials. And finally, if you need video or audio editing services, shoot me a DM. My rates are reasonable. Alright, Ziggy, how about you?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:34

If you happen to see a good looking uh green haired raccoon on Fortnite or uh blue fur rad boy berry twinkle in the same game, please don't pew pew me any points. I really, really, really, really need a point, thank you.

unknown 1:02:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:52

TikTok, have you got anything to plug?

SPEAKER_08 1:02:55

Yeah, so if you're at Forlandia, come get some coyote and Protogen hugs and hope to see everyone there, and hopefully, yeah, and hope to see you in my first eating class.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:05

Awesome. So go see it. Alright. Chitaro, well, I am currently at Furlandia, and if you do see me, I I hope you say hi, and hopefully you're having a good time as well. Let me know in the BFFT telegram chat if you are, and tag me, and I'll look forward to hearing uh from what uh what you said. Uh and also um I will say look forward to at our next recording to talk about Forlandia 2027 because um we might actually have some things to say about that.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:36

No, it'll be the episode after the next.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:39

Oh, that's true. It will not be next episode. It will not be next episode after the next. So so look so look forward to hearing our next episode after our next episode.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:49

It will be on our season finale.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:52

There we go. Oh my god. So all you furs out there, pay attention to our season finale, and you will probably hear something about Ferlane playing.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:02

So pay attention to every other episode we do.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:03

Very, very well seasoned. Uh before we get to Tabin, uh, Cassidy, is there anything you'd like to plug and uh give you all your socials?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:10

Oh, I actually kind of had a a silly uh math question for you. It might blow your mind. Oh my god. Uh there was a there was a Survivor player uh a couple seasons ago who argued to his elimination that several means seven. Um no. No. Okay, thank you.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:28

I mean, you're the math wizard, so I thought I'd ask you. He said it's in the word.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:36

I know I learned early as a child that I would ask for if I asked for before bed, if I asked for milk and two cookies, or a couple of cookies, I got two. If I asked for milk and a few cookies, I got three. If I asked for milk and several cookies, my mother would roll her eyes and say, You're not getting more than three.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:04

No, it stands for reason.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:05

Yep. So what are your socials?

SPEAKER_07 1:05:08

Yeah, I'm CassidtheCivet at Cassidy the Civet. Pretty much everywhere, from Instagram to TikTok. Uh YouTube is just Cassidy. I should come up no matter what, though. I'm hoping to increase my uploads this year, talk about some more fun fandom topics. Uh I'm not gonna be doing a ton of cons this year, so don't be looking out for me at those places, but I'll be online and uh I'm easy to reach, and there should be lots of music coming your way. And you c and you cut your fur, I saw. I cut you my hair's tight up. Yeah. It's just a ponytail, Taven. It doesn't mean it's gone. It's peekaboo rules, you know? It's not like mine.
