  • Prairie Dogs – Varmints! – 26
    Prairie Dogs!

    On our super duper special episode of Varmints this week, we have our first ever bona fide animal expert! Dr. Seth Magle from the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago talking about prairie dogs!

    The Urban Wildlife Institute conducts research intended to minimize conflict between humans and animals in urban surroundings. They have some great projects underway, and you can even get involved in citizen science and help them out by identifying animals in their database of sneaky secret squirrel cams all around the city of Chicago. We’ve done this at Varmints! podcast, it’s super cool, fun, and is a great way to contribute to research that really matters. Check it out at the Chicago Wildlife Watch.

    Maybe these guys are

    getting a little too comfy.

    Prairie dogs have their own language! Yep, they can say stuff like “Hey, guys, here comes the big, blue human with a red hat and a gun. Let us take him to our lair and devour him.” Well, almost. Check out the article about a great study about talking p-dogs!

    We probably shouldn’t be surprised at the complicated geometric feats animals are capable of doing by now, but p-dogs are sure good at it! Check out this great article about the prairie dog burrows and tunnels! They do some pretty great stuff to make sure they get air in the lair.

    In today’s episode of BrokeBot Mountain, Kari Simms and Phil Rood talk about The Iron Giant and take more swings at Vin Diesel then a professional boxer. tune is as they discuss the Award-winning 1999 animated film Directed by Brad Bird.

    The animated film The Iron Giant (1999) is set in the 1950’s.  Hogarth, a young boy from Maine, befriends a massive robot that crashed onto Earth, the Iron Giant. While developing a friendship with it, Kent Mansley, a government agent, will stop at nothing to destroy it, and will not change his mind. Because of the boy’s attachment with the robot, he’ll try to stall Kent’s progress, such as using a different chocolate for Kent’s sundae. He’s also kept the robot at Dean’s scrapyard, despite his reluctance to keep him there. But their mutual hatred of Kent’s cruel intentions might just keep the friendship between them.

  • Kirby’s Adventure – 8Bit Avenue – 1
    Kirby’s Adventure

    In the debut episode of 8Bit Avenue, a podcast about that nostalgic feeling you get when you revisit your beloved and coveted retro games: Matthew Palmer and Katie Talmo discuss Kirby’s Adventure that was originally released in 1993.  It really pushed the boundaries of the NES hardware, and then some.

    Most gamers these days will be familiar with Kirby, the big pink puffball who can suck up and consume his enemies. With a breath of air in his lungs he could even fly, which brought a whole new dimension when compared to the average platform game around at the time.

    Google Maps now lets you get an Uber without leaving the app

    Google’s making it way easier and simpler to hail an Uber with Google Maps. Today the company announced that the latest version of Google Maps on Android and iOS lets users request a ride from Uber without ever leaving the app. Previously, you could use Maps to check for price estimates and start the process of getting a lift, but eventually you had to finish things up in the Uber app. Now, the entire request process takes place directly in Google Maps. You just sign in with your Uber account info, which pulls up your stored payment info and other details.

      Apple, Google Car Apps Get Pushback From Ford, Toyota

      Apple’s  CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto are facing a push back from automakers led by Ford Motor Co.  and Toyota Motor.

      Ford and Toyota on Wednesday said four medium-sized automakers — Mazda Motor, PSA Group, Fuji Heavy Industries and Suzuki Motor Corp. — have joined their SmartDeviceLink Consortium, which aims to develop an open-source software platform that app developers can use as an alternative to Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto.

      Apple and Google have revved up efforts to integrate their smartphone technologies with auto communications systems.

      Apple’s CarPlay technology is built around its iOS software. Alphabet-owned Google unveiled an “autocentric” variant of Android N at its Google I/O developer’s conference in May. General Motors and Harman have announced plans to build Android-based infotainment systems for GM vehicles.

    • Goldfish – Varmints! – 25
      Goldfish!

      This week on Varmints podcast we’re going for a swim with our finny friends the goldfish! So dive on in and join in on the fin! Fun! Oh, we could have punned soooo much more in this episode.

      Here’s some stuff we referenced on the show:
      In the news: Goldfish with custom-made “wheelchair” gets back in the swim. This article’s title was so good we didn’t feel the need to add anything. Look at that face! Aaaagh! So cute!  


      Bloop?

       As promised, here’s a video of the little goldfish in his “wheelchair”, courtesy of his owner, YouTube user Taylor Nicole Dean.

      Three second memory? No way, dude. Goldfish have way better memories than that! Check out this article courtesy of Today I Found Out.

       We definitely remember who brings the food. Just sayin’. Bloop!

      It’s not a good idea to put goldfish in with wild animals outdoors. They turn from great pet to invasive species in a heartbeat. Here’s a great article about the problem. Check it out!

      Goldfish gone wild!
