For whatever reason, this episode is not in the Short Rest collection

Calder going to the ice knife tourist area is literally me going on maid of the mist for the first time in my 20s despite living in Niagara Falls my whole life

Alyssa

I am too but for some reason I was laughing the whole time

I teach about reptiles and amphibians to children and I'm going to start using your guys' facts. Thanks for your contributions to science!

Robert de Forest

According to Wikipedia, humans do 1-2% of our respiration through our skin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_respiration

ChungleDownBimm

cant believe the "why can a toad be dry" discussion didnt prompt a call back to the dry toads (who were the army's footsoldiers i think?) from the hexbloods arc

Joe K

Caldwell definitely watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. “Sparks!”

Nicole Jordan

Question for the crowd I'm slightly confused about the submersible sitaution- what is the current status with it/with Alexandrite changing their plans?

Proopypants

Moussaka and baba ganoush are great. For generic use I would roughly dice it, salt it, and let it sit for a while. Pat it dry n add it to a nice Mediterranean tomato pasta sauce perhaps. Just goes dead slimy and uninteresting if you cook too long while damp. Tastes delicious if you chargrill or Extremely Roast it though, I think 😎

ALL TOADS ARE FROGS BUT NOT ALL FROGS ARE TOADS. I hate that this sounds like a joke but it is actually 100% true 💀

Justin Medrano

I’m gonna need you guys to throttle back on all the frog talk please

Keaghan Yaxley

I’m the egg plant loving biologist in the comments and I’m fucking furious.

Rachel W

Every time I meet a couple from now on: “So which one of you is the frog and which one is the toad?”

Heather Stock

All this wet or dry talk has me wishing for a Short Rest x Delete This crossover episode! (Hosts: Hank Green and his wife Katherine)

Heather Stock

The German word for turtle/tortoise is "shield toad".

Heather Stock

Exactly!

Lissa Bee

Do you have a dish you use to try to convert people?

Bandanno

"How is a turtle not a toad with a shell?" 😂🤣 This made me actually laugh out loud.

Psykodactyle

"Smeg-gate" 💀💀💀

Psykodactyle

Jake is actually onto something, bc in Norwegian the name for a turtle/tortoise (we use the same word for both) literally translates to "Shell toad" They really are just dry toads with shells on, and that's science.

Cheyenne

That was my hope as well, but since they haven't mentioned it in so long I didn't want to send anything that wouldn't reach them. Thank you!!

Proopypants

ecology x eggplant solidarity

Embrim Swiftwhistle

Love that movie

Cheyenne

Random question, but does anyone know where to send fan mail/holiday gifts to the two crew?

Jorgus

honestly... we know that there was plans for a mothership in the frigid north... it's not completely impossible that they would've experimented with attempting sol clones that would survive more easily in that environment

An_Armed_Bear

Wouldn't a wet snake be an eel, not a frog?

Ghost

I'd like to recommend Netflix "Klaus" for a holiday movie this year. It is absolutely phenomenal

Marni Russell

How is a turtle NOT a toad with a shell……

Marni Russell

Barely halfway through but this is my favorite short rest ever

BeanCurdHero

absolute funniest thing i have heard in a long time is Emily saying "eyes wide shut." perhaps the last, but technically appropriate for the question, answer.

62-bit Hero

This frog toad turtle tortoise conversation had me loudly cracking up in the grocery store - good stuff two crew

Colin Kilzer

so crazy I was absolutely taken out by a head cold for a few days when this came out. mine cleared up quick wishing you all the same

Jessica

Fun fact underneath the shell is actually super wet...cause of the viscera. It is their spine.

Charles Hyde

As a biologist that loves eggplant, I feel ostracized by this episode

Kelsey K

All the frog facts reminded me how sad it is about Sol’s fungal network. Chytrid fungus strikes again :(

Kelsey K

Biologically, spadefoot toads aren’t true toads but they’re still frogs (as are all toads) More importantly, they’re burrowers so they prefer to be dry and therefore they’re toads

October Jones

Tortoises guys! Land turtles= toads.

Meapyboy1234567

always

Rew Denneno

Is sal still canonically hot?

Tasha

not a biologist but proud owner of a toad and I can confirm that they are indeed very snarky and sharp witted.

sage penelopy

EXACTLY THIS IS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!!!! you can’t dislike baba ghanoush 🥺

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

We appreciate all you do whether over or under the weather. Feel better everyone!

Courtney F.

Emily, please don't gargle salt, I think that actually might be bad.

Not Another D&D Podcast

Thank you!! I am on the mend!! I will def gargle some salt anyway though. - Emily

Courtney F.

Gargling salt water helps with the uncontrollable cough -signed, someone with the same (get well soon!)

Gwen Gilpin

I just learned today that there is something called a spadefoot that's like a toad but not! Not sure where they fall on the wet v. dry debate though.

Katy Howells

Turtles are frogs and tortoises are toads. Period.

Dakota Paulson

Turtles aren’t toads because toads don’t have necks, duh

Iain

There was nobody in this record with a foreskin. The week after Smeg-gate we have nut-cheese-a-palooza

Michael V. Mancuso

Eggplant Parm is the superior Parm!

ananarama

I’m a biologist and I love eggplants. There’s dozens of us!

martina muronova

"compelling"

Curby Dickens

Tortoises are toads, turtles are frogs

Sarah Osgood

Same!

Jack Campau

please let Murph being a dry shitty little toad be a thing

Austin Sharp

“I sound like Wheezy” made me actually spit take my coffee at work

Wit & Whimsy

I was just reading the Grim Hollow Etharis book and I believe Arboreal Curse originated from there. It was recently published.

Spaghetti Spawn

Yes! I was thinking this the whole time!

Brandon O'Hara

Hello!

Not Another D&D Podcast

now THAT'S a Frog Fact. ~Caldwell

Olive

There is a super incredibly amazing eggplant curry at the restaurant Taste of Sri Lanka 100/10 would recommend

Duncan Watson

Fight or flight or gaslight

I Want My Name To Be Spaghetti

THANK YOU

Eve Capelin

As an amphibian biologist, can confirm everything is 100% accurate

Declan Konesky

Nut cheese is definitely jizz...

Grace B

Please try baba ganoush Jake! That’ll turn any eggplant hater into a convert 🍆

Juliana Reslan

Just finished my biological diversity class, frogs have a three chambered heart which causes their oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood to mix and thus their blood is not that great at distributing nutrients as a four chambered heart (in humans) would be. They also need to absorb oxygen through the skin as tadpoles in order to breathe underwater and keep that feature as frogs on land to absorb even more oxygen. The frog can absorb oxygen through its skin, lungs, and even the skin around its mouth so that the lack of oxygenated blood running their their vascular system isn’t a harm to the amount of oxygen they can obtain. Breathing through the skin also makes them vulnerable to human pollutants, as they absorb harmful chemicals and are thus the easiest indicators of extinction via the mass rates of mortality in frog species due to air pollutants.
