You used to call her on her cellphone, but you don’t anymore because she doesn’t have one. That’s right, the Russell Books series of the On Being Animals podcast continues with Savannah and she chose to learn about her spirit animal: the Onion Fast Love Horn. If your favourite part of this podcast is when we go on tangents and don’t talk about the animal, then this is the episode for you! You’ve been waiting 40+ episodes and we’ve finally delivered tangents on tangents. It may even be more icing than cake. This means we left a couple of Onion Fast Love Horn facts on the table, but luckily we figured out why you need to put a banana in your first aid kit. We also discover how much Savannah can eat in one sitting, what we should spend our tax return money on, and how to almost make it to the NHL. We also debate the merits of head banging. You name it, we covered it. Most Egregious errors: Savannah claims that cheetahs have 3000 spots, but they have 2000, I say gene when I should be saying chromosome, and we both fail miserably to solve the simplest of math problems. Oh, and to clarify, “Wild America” is comedy film starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas. It is based on the real life person Martin Luther Stouffer Jr. who has been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for setting up illegal hunting camps. So, fuck that guy, right? Science level: surprisingly high, we talk about the how colour blindness is inherited and there is a sizzling fluid dynamics joke at some point.
