Speaker 5 Purina believes no one should have to make the impossible choice between their own safety and their pets.

Speaker 5 But nearly half of domestic abuse survivors delay leaving because they can't bring their pets with them.

Speaker 5 Through the Purple Leash Project, Purina is helping create more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters so survivors and their pets can escape and heal together.

Speaker 7 Gav, you want to kick this one off?

Speaker 3 It was your idea. It was Gav's idea.
Gav.

Speaker 2 Huh?

Speaker 2 I think.

Speaker 8 Sorry, it was my idea.

Speaker 6 I love it. I fucking love it.

Speaker 7 Hello, and welcome to another another piece of regulation supplemental content.

Speaker 9 It's draft day.

Speaker 3 I hope everybody is excited.

Speaker 9 I hope everybody's ready.

Speaker 7 Today we're going to dip into the world of the island of Dr.

Speaker 9 Moreau.

Speaker 7 We're going to do a combined animals draft, as always,

Speaker 7 idea gifted to us from Gavin.

Speaker 2 How do you guys see this one going?

Speaker 9 Everybody excited?

Speaker 10 I am so glad you said that because I was... terrified of this draft, to be honest.

Speaker 10 I made multiple boards because I didn't know what we were doing.

Speaker 3 I'm the same.

Speaker 10 You saying that

Speaker 10 makes me understand exactly what this is, and I feel good about it.

Speaker 2 I had no idea what this was, and I don't even...

Speaker 2 I'm so nervous about this one. I don't understand a lot of our drafts anymore.
I don't know what's hard about this. What is this? You just said

Speaker 3 it's the combined. It's a draft about the best combined animals.

Speaker 2 Okay. Yep.

Speaker 3 We had some text conversation. This is unusual for us to talk, I feel, so

Speaker 3 much on a text chain outside of a recording to get down to brass tacks about what we're doing. Andrew texted yesterday, is people an animal? Jeff said no humans.
Nick said, I think human is animal.

Speaker 3 I said no humans. So that's two for no humans, one for human is animal.
And then Jeff said, sounds like Gavin is the tiebreaker.

Speaker 2 I mean, it wasn't a tie.

Speaker 7 Well, we one could infer that Andrew was going to say yes.

Speaker 3 I agree. I agree.
And Gavin said, I think people is animals. And Jeff said, useless.
I will be abstaining from using animals and sticking to the spirit of the original idea, but you do you.

Speaker 3 Immediately followed by a text from Gavin that said, oh, it's definitely a cheap move and I wouldn't use it. Thanks, man.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, I feel like that's a real cough-out.

Speaker 2 People are animals, though.

Speaker 9 And then I said, fine.

Speaker 7 Use humans. You can have Batman.
You can have Ant-Man. You can have...

Speaker 10 See, you doing that. Now you saying

Speaker 10 you using those examples? Now I'm confused. Now I don't know what this is.

Speaker 2 Back to being nervous. He was joking.

Speaker 3 He was joking.

Speaker 7 If you combined a bat and a man, what would you have?

Speaker 2 Man-bat.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it would be. Man-bat.

Speaker 7 Batman. If you combined an ant and a man, what would you have? Man-ant?

Speaker 10 You're not saying these characters that are known. You're giving.
Another in a world in which Batman isn't a thing is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 I threw in condo, man.

Speaker 8 In a world in which you're confused, how?

Speaker 2 I don't. This,

Speaker 9 I don't understand what was confusing about that.

Speaker 3 Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing about the confusion here is that it might not matter because, Andrew, you might draft first and set the tempo.

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 3 That's true. It's really important here about who drafts first, I think, to kind of set a tempo on what we're about to do because I have a list that I feel pretty good about.

Speaker 3 But in order to start this draft, we have to randomize. We're using Sean Bear's site.
So we got to randomize to see what order we go in.

Speaker 10 As always, we start in an egg order, but then we randomize how many times, boys, I don't feel qualified to even make a suggestion because I might not know what this is.

Speaker 2 Andrew is four times of sorts.

Speaker 3 I'm sorry, how many?

Speaker 2 Four. Yeah, four is good.

Speaker 3 Why four? Why not?

Speaker 2 Uh, because it's like ABD. Uh, go up, scroll up.
We got like ABCD in the in the titles there.

Speaker 2 And that's the D is four.

Speaker 3 Jeff, any thoughts on that?

Speaker 7 Man,

Speaker 7 yeah, that's as good an answer as any.

Speaker 3 I kind of like it. He could have said, like, most animals have four legs or something like that.
He went with scroll up, A, D, C, B.

Speaker 2 It's all kind of there, and D is four.

Speaker 3 All right, D is four. So let's see.
We start Nanag. Here's three randomizations.
One, two,

Speaker 3 three.

Speaker 2 It's Andrew Nick first three like that. But, but, but,

Speaker 3 that is, that is three. Here's four.

Speaker 2 Oh, boy. Here's our gravity.

Speaker 10 The funniest would be Gavin, then me say

Speaker 2 Andrew. Andrew,

Speaker 2 oh no.

Speaker 2 Oh, boy.

Speaker 10 Okay, well, I feel really good about my picks.

Speaker 2 I think I've both prepared. No, you don't.

Speaker 10 Well, no, I do. I feel the most.

Speaker 10 I bet you I've done the most prep, but also potentially the least prep, depending on how this goes.

Speaker 10 I'm going Island Moreau style based on what you were saying. I think this fits.

Speaker 10 Give me a second to pull up my board.

Speaker 7 Island Moreau.

Speaker 10 Whatever. Monroe.
I don't know. I didn't.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's the part.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's the part that we're really hanging out on. Yep, that's right.

Speaker 7 Island Monroe.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 10 The Val Kilmer movie.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he was in it.

Speaker 3 Hey, Andrew, we're not confused here.

Speaker 10 With the first pick. With the first pick and the combined animal draft.
Yep, I go with none other than the chin good.

Speaker 2 Oh boy, oh

Speaker 2 boy,

Speaker 2 chin cougader, chin, chin, cougader is the first pick.

Speaker 3 What is what is the what?

Speaker 2 The what chin cougader c-h-in-n uh-huh,

Speaker 10 then after that, C-O-U-G-H. A-T-O-R.

Speaker 10 It's a chin cougator.

Speaker 10 Let me go to Discord if you guys want to look in the chat screen for a second.

Speaker 3 What's the chin in it?

Speaker 10 Well, you're going to see.

Speaker 3 It's a cougar in a gator, but what's the chin?

Speaker 10 I drew, I felt like with these animals,

Speaker 10 I drew all my animals because I thought having a visual representation of the animals is important for this. So this is a chin cougator.

Speaker 10 As you can see, it is the face of a chinchilla, the body of a cougar, and the back half of a gator.

Speaker 2 I was going to say that the word written just looks like someone clearing their throat, and the picture kind of looks like the result of that, spat into a tissue. Yeah, it's a ching.

Speaker 10 It's a chin cougader.

Speaker 7 Andrew, I think you have understood the assignment.

Speaker 3 Beautifully. Yeah, you did a great job, man.
I think Chincougader is...

Speaker 3 It's maybe not the like number one with a bullet pick but it's a great first round draft pick i did a second drawing pointing to what parts were of of each word oh wow

Speaker 10 yeah um yeah i just feel like to draw to use a an alligator but only use the back half is pretty wild yeah right well here's the thing this is what makes the chin cougader great it's got a soft little cute head and give it some good chin rubs it's got the upper half speed it can go stealth mode but then it also has the ability to swim really fast

Speaker 2 you got multiple things covered and it's very cute it's a very cuddle cuddleable animal does it maintain the death roll ability of a crocodile or an alligator or whatever oh yeah it can it can roll like nobody it's a top roller for sure it looks more like a koala at the front well you know chinchilla koala you know you can pretend maybe i just don't know a chinchilla off the top of my head it's kind of like uh what if like a guinea pig rolled around in dirt Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Like a mousy looking chunk guinea pig.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Chincougater is on the board.
So if you guys had that, you have to erase it from your list. You cannot

Speaker 3 also draft the chincougator. I have the next pick.
I picked cat dog. He is

Speaker 3 a cat and a dog. It's cat dog.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. Where is that from?

Speaker 3 Yeah. I mean, it seemed like to me, pretty right down the middle.
When I thought combined animals, I thought cat dog.

Speaker 3 And everyone that I talked to, when I said we're doing a combined animals draft, they all went, oh, like cat dog. And I went, yeah, that's going to be my first pick.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's a famous combined animal.

Speaker 3 That is, I think it, I think it might be number one. Is it ahead of the Chin Cougader? Not on our board, but

Speaker 3 maybe just in the pop culture zeitgeist, it might be. Can Chin Cougader overtake it, perhaps?

Speaker 10 It's possible. I'm curious how many episodes they did of Cat Dog.

Speaker 10 That feels like a show that could have went on for like six seasons and 7,000 episodes, or like 132 episodes that they just played constantly.

Speaker 3 There's four seasons, which is nice.

Speaker 3 And it appears to be 68 episodes.

Speaker 10 Yeah, that feels that feels right.

Speaker 3 Wow, the last one and it aired in the last one aired in 2005. That's way too late for Cat Dog to be going.
But Cat Dog's my pick, I think, in the Zeitgeist.

Speaker 3 Very easy pick for me.

Speaker 3 Jeff, what do you got?

Speaker 9 Hello.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 most of our planet is covered in water, salt water, to be exact.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 2 I love water.

Speaker 7 Everybody knows I'm a big water guy.

Speaker 8 I'm not water adjacent.

Speaker 7 I'm full on water. I like to dive in water.
I like to swim in water. I'm not scared of water.
I used to surf. But one thing that bugs me about the water is that we are not the masters of that domain.

Speaker 7 The ocean is full of apex predators, not the least of which are sharks. Sharks exist to eat and kill, and they've been the bane of many a surfer and swimmer,

Speaker 7 and also the star of many an awesome action movie. But I would like a safer ocean.
So I propose that we create the scaredy shark. We fuse all sharks with puffer fish.

Speaker 7 Now you may say, Jeff, why would we do that?

Speaker 3 Here's why.

Speaker 2 I'll tell you.

Speaker 7 We still have sharks. They still roam the oceans, right? Except a puffer fish, when it senses aggression or a dangerous situation, it puffs up up and then it floats to the top.

Speaker 7 So if we essentially turn all sharks, these killing machines, into puffer fish as well, anytime a shark goes to attack a human, it's going to puff up and then it's going to miss because it's going to rise above the human before it gets a chance to bite it.

Speaker 7 And it's going to essentially make the ocean safer for humans.

Speaker 2 I love it.

Speaker 3 So is it called scaredy shark?

Speaker 2 Scaredy shark. Okay.

Speaker 3 Okay. I just want to make sure.

Speaker 3 I didn't know that puffer fish float when they get filled with air.

Speaker 7 I'm going to assume they do. Okay.

Speaker 3 I also didn't know they could fill with air while down underwater. So that's pretty interesting.

Speaker 7 Oh, it's a whole thing they do.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Wait, what did you think they do?

Speaker 3 Well, it seems like they would fill with water.

Speaker 2 Oh, I see.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but it makes them slow and less killable.

Speaker 2 They go like,

Speaker 7 and then they're just bouncing around all buoyant and stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if it was air, wouldn't they need to have a...

Speaker 3 Well, yeah,

Speaker 3 I think that's what I'm saying, Gavin.

Speaker 3 I'm just mostly confused about what happens to a puffer fish at this point. I didn't know that they floated.

Speaker 7 I don't know. It's something in the genetics when you cross it with the shark.

Speaker 2 It's weird.

Speaker 10 I would love to have a list of all of the pieces of media that Jeff is pulling his knowledge from for this pick. Because none of it's based in animal fact.

Speaker 10 It is all Jaws and finding Nemo and a bunch of other sea-based media.

Speaker 7 Whereas everything you're doing is scientifically accurate and from a textbook.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. Island Monroe style.

Speaker 14 Yeah, Island Monroe.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Island Monroe style.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 3 Like Maryland. Well,

Speaker 3 scaredy shark is now on the board. A shark that gets bigger, which makes it less scary, I guess.
Nick, what is your combined animal in the first round here?

Speaker 7 It puffs up and it can't swim fast no more because it's all round and it's like a fucking bouncy

Speaker 2 balloon.

Speaker 10 I will say it would make Jaws a lot less interesting.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it kind of happened to Jaws right at the end there. A little bit.
Yeah. I mean, Bruce.

Speaker 3 It was brief. For like half a second, he was a scary shark.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And then he was a gone shark.
Well, when I first heard about the combined animal draft, I thought, what? And then my second thought was, well, we've been on this Thanksgiving tear lately.

Speaker 2 You have. And then I thought, well, I love this little dish.
that's called turducken.

Speaker 2 Turducken is stuffed chicken inside, or chicken stuffed inside a D-boned duck, which is then stuffed into a D-boned turkey. And it has layers of stuffing and cornbread or sausage in between.

Speaker 2 My best combined animal is a dead one and a delicious one. Oh, so it's actually the turducken and not like some sort of living version of it.
You just want. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I, Nick, that's so never even crossed my mind to go turducken. Great idea.
Great pick.

Speaker 2 Excellent food.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 It never crossed my mind to go turducken.

Speaker 10 I don't even even know what a turducken looks like.

Speaker 3 You can see it right there on Discord.

Speaker 2 Let me look. It's hideous, but it's delicious.
Yeah, I mean, from the outside, it just looks like the biggest one.

Speaker 3 Yeah, cross-section style. It looks like all of them.

Speaker 2 Yeah, even in death, the turkey won.

Speaker 3 Even, even in death, the turkey won. You guys, you know how we're always saying, ah, turkey wins again.

Speaker 3 Even in death.

Speaker 2 Well, the one that gets pardoned does.

Speaker 3 Turducken is a great first-round pick, very top of mind for people, maybe. But Gavin, you have the last pick of the first round and the first pick of the second round.
And Gavin, we know you.

Speaker 3 So we're excited to see where this goes. There you go.

Speaker 2 Well, you know, I like fun. I like fun animals.

Speaker 2 Some of the fun animals, they're no longer with us.

Speaker 3 We know you, man. You love fun.
You love fun animals.

Speaker 2 I loved the dodo. I think it was a great bird.
It sadly died out, but maybe it wouldn't have if it had armor. So I would like to combine it with the armadillo.
I give you the armadillo. Armadildo.

Speaker 8 I think that's another great one.

Speaker 7 You clearly understood the assignment. I don't understand all the fear and trepidation.

Speaker 7 Armadildo is maybe the best one on the board.

Speaker 2 Honestly, I think you might have just come up with a brand name.

Speaker 10 What would Armadildo sell, Nick?

Speaker 2 Dildos?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 7 That's what you got out of Armadildo? Is dildos?

Speaker 2 Weird. Vibrators.
I don't. I don't think armor or

Speaker 10 dodos are are really associations with vibrators generally.

Speaker 2 No, just the name.

Speaker 7 A poor animal is going to get vibrated to death.

Speaker 3 What does it look like, Gavin? If you could describe it.

Speaker 2 A dodo with armadillo skin.

Speaker 2 How does it fly? Did a dodo fly, Nick? I don't know. I mean, the GTA 3, it didn't do a great job of it.

Speaker 2 Did a dodo fly? I don't know.

Speaker 10 There's something really funny imagining that in pitching this, like, you're creating the animal to see how it would react.

Speaker 10 And I'm just imagining an Armadildo immediately just like being stuck to the floor and unable to move due to the weight of the armor protection that they have.

Speaker 2 You might be right. Well, maybe it could also tuck into a ball as well.

Speaker 10 I'm thinking about this now from this point forward as like in Kerbal Space Program where you test your rocket and you just see how it goes.

Speaker 2 Like we're throwing out these animals and then just imagining.

Speaker 10 how they would actually function.

Speaker 2 Imagine like a version of the video game Spore, but good. And you could actually combine different animals.

Speaker 3 That's, I like that. I like the way you're thinking.
I like the way you're thinking. And I see that with Armadildo, which is a great pick to end the first round.

Speaker 3 But Gavin, you got to kick off the second round. And we do know you love fun animals.

Speaker 15 Hello, I'm Diane Morgan. If you know who I am, you know who I am.
If you don't, who cares?

Speaker 15 I'm here to explain Italian time, a holiday phenomenon where Italians throw away their clocks and gather for eternity with Sam Pellegrino.

Speaker 15 I've been at this party so long that I've eaten five courses, hugged someone's grandma twice and been offered a job in the family restaurant.

Speaker 15 So this holiday season make sure to bring enough San Pellegrino to last you through the meal, the aftermeal and the entire goodbye ritual. San Pellegrino, holiday on Italian time.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Well,

Speaker 2 there's a little monkey creature called a tamarind.

Speaker 2 Not to be confused with tamarind, which I think is a food thing. But a tamarind is a nice, cute little monkey.
But what if it was combined with a cute little horse like or like a pony?

Speaker 2 I would like to introduce to you the tampon. Okay.

Speaker 2 I see what's happening here. This is good.

Speaker 3 This is great.

Speaker 2 It's tamarind and it's a pony. Okay.

Speaker 3 And what does it look like?

Speaker 2 Yeah, what's it? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 selfish fire.

Speaker 2 That was cool.

Speaker 3 I like that your imagination went as far as the name and not the look. That's exciting to me.
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 I guess we'll leave leave it to the listener to kind of come up with. I wasn't asking you to draw it.
I was just hoping you'd be like, oh, it's got like, you know, it's like horse legs and

Speaker 3 a big mustache, like a tamarind.

Speaker 2 You know, I love that Andrew's drawn all his. Maybe I can draw mine after this recording and we can just insert them into the video.

Speaker 3 Oh, that sounds fun. Like, if we don't even get to react to them, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 I could show you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, or I could go

Speaker 2 get run over in the street. I could do that.
Yeah.

Speaker 12 That was some Gavin feedback at Gavin.

Speaker 10 That felt good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 Holy shit.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 I just wanted you to go like, oh, it's a horse with like a tamarind mustache, like the monkey. And you just went, I don't know.

Speaker 3 Gavin, go long.

Speaker 2 Nah. All right.
Great.

Speaker 3 Well, back to catch the passes, Nick, as we go to his pick for the second round here.

Speaker 3 What you got, Nick?

Speaker 2 And I'm going long.

Speaker 2 i'm going long eric throw it deep because here's what i also thought when i thought of combined animals i thought pretty horrifying right usually some some creation that's ungodly and against nature and then i thought yeah you know what i love horror movies too so i'm going with the pred alien combination predator alien from the second uh avp movie yeah an alien horrible creature movie sucks It did, but the creature was cool.

Speaker 2 Not using Xenomorph is a wild move. Well, it's called Predalien.

Speaker 10 It is called the Predalien.

Speaker 2 It's its name. So, shove it.

Speaker 2 Somebody has seen Alien's Predator 2. How embarrassing.

Speaker 3 Gavin, what would you name it?

Speaker 2 Yeah, what would you call it? Predomorph? I don't know.

Speaker 10 Now, if you had to describe it, Gavin, how would you describe it?

Speaker 3 Yeah, why don't you draw it so we can look at it later?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. What would it look like? Hold on.
What would it look like? They just deleted it.

Speaker 2 I'm imagining the entire Xenomorph, but instead of the mouth that comes out of the mouth it's just the uh predator mouth and everything else is the same

Speaker 10 wow have you sure you haven't seen the movie you may have seen it yeah it does have that but it has the dreads too so oh man what i think is so interesting is it never even occurred to me to pick existing combined animals same wasn't even a thought oh you didn't think like centaur and like mermaid and all that no not even slightly but you asked about human I figured that's what you were asking about.

Speaker 2 That's what I asked. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 10 I was my own creation for that.

Speaker 3 Andrew's. Andrew is a human centipede style scientist that I don't like.

Speaker 10 I don't remember what the animals were, but what I was thinking when I asked that was the head of one animal, the legs of another animal, and the body of Zach Ertz, the NFL tight end.

Speaker 2 And I was just going to use the Ertz part to bridge the two things.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 7 I think I'd have been okay with that now that I hear it.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, I think I probably would have let it slide. It's so specific.

Speaker 3 Well, Predalien is on the board. So Jeff, you can't pick that one.
You had Scaredy Shark in the first round.

Speaker 7 Taking it off my list.

Speaker 13 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13 Along with

Speaker 3 Chin Coo Gator. Chin Cougugate.

Speaker 2 Chin Cougu Gator. Chinator.
Chin Cougu Gator. Okay.

Speaker 7 Well, luckily for humanity, our oceans are now safer, which frees me up to spend more time in the water doing stuff i like to do one of the things i do like to do is i like to fish a little bit the problem with fishing for me i'm not crazy about seafood i want to be but i'm not i can eat it and i'll never say no to going to a seafood restaurant because i don't want to diminish anybody else's uh opportunity to eat seafood so i eat a lot of seafood that i don't particularly enjoy but i would like to enjoy it and that's why i would like to propose to you that now that we have safer oceans we invent a new kind of fish we mix a uh oh hold on, I've got a few different people.

Speaker 8 Okay, we're going to go with the sea dog.

Speaker 7 We're going to mix a dolphin and a hog so that I can have ocean pork.

Speaker 2 That's amazing.

Speaker 2 I have to take one off my list.

Speaker 3 Really? So it's just called, it's called, it's called sea dog?

Speaker 7 It's called a sea dog. It's a mix between a dolphin, which we don't eat, and a hog, which we do eat.

Speaker 7 Something about the combination putting it in the ocean, it's totally fine to eat dolphin now, as long as it's a part of a, as long as it's pork, pork dolphin.

Speaker 2 I did not expect one of my picks to be taken in this draft.

Speaker 9 Were you like, as I'm describing it, are you starting to get nervous?

Speaker 2 Like, this sounds a lot like what I'm thinking of. Yeah, I can't use mine.
Wow. Interesting.
Wow.

Speaker 3 Did not anticipate this happening in this draft.

Speaker 7 Nor did I. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Sea dog.

Speaker 10 Sea dog,

Speaker 10 I don't see on a menu, but sea pork feels like something they'd advertise at Long John Silver's is like their seasonal menu.

Speaker 3 The sea dog is a thing at Wiener Schnitzel.

Speaker 11 Interesting.

Speaker 3 It's a fish stick in a hot dog bun.

Speaker 7 See, this is different. This tastes a lot more like bacon than fish.

Speaker 3 Wow. Does it, so does it have the characteristics of a dolphin, but it kind of has like a pig look? Or like, what's the...

Speaker 7 It honestly looks a little bit kind of like

Speaker 8 a...

Speaker 7 What's that?

Speaker 7 What's that thing they have in Florida that they tell you not to run it? Manatee.

Speaker 7 It looks kind of like a pink manatee with like a, honestly, with a dolphin's fin, and then it just kind of has a pig nose and it moves about as well as a manatee. You got to watch out for them.

Speaker 7 They're not the fastest or brightest animals.

Speaker 3 Wow. Oh, so you took two animals that are considered actually kind of smart and you made them dumb.

Speaker 2 I just made them kind of slow and dumb. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm going to take these two brilliant animals and we're just going to fuck with them until we eat them.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a lot of crossbreeding.

Speaker 7 It doesn't, yeah.

Speaker 2 This is what happens.

Speaker 3 That, hey, hey, that is what happens. I hadn't considered making an animal dumber.
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 Easier to catch than.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 2 We're breeding for food here.

Speaker 2 I get it.

Speaker 10 That makes sense.

Speaker 3 All right. Well, the Sea Dogs on the board.
Gavin had to make an emergency change to his pick. I have the next pick.
It's my second round pick. And for me, this was an easy one.

Speaker 3 This is the other one that I thought of almost immediately when

Speaker 3 this combined animals draft was proposed.

Speaker 3 And for me, that is Pigeon Rat from The simpsons uh pigeon rat sewn together by bart's evil twin uh he it's got it's a pigeon it's a rat it flies it hits the ceiling it uh tries to crawl on a hole it can't do that it's the worst of both worlds uh the pigeon rat is now on the board uh for our combined animals draft fun piece of regulation trivia It is a clip of the pigeon rat that gave me the idea for this.

Speaker 7 And I went, oh, that was a funny episode. I remember that.
And then I thought, we should do that.

Speaker 3 It is a spooky season.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it was a Treehouse of Horror episode, I believe. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Time of this recording is just about Halloween.

Speaker 3 One of the good ones. Yeah, Pigeon Rat, top of mind.
Pigeon rat. I had to get rat on here somewhere.
Rat's on the board, baby.

Speaker 2 Great pick.

Speaker 3 Yep. Thank you very much.
Andrew, you have no idea how long I've been anticipating exactly what we're going to get from you at the end of the second round and the beginning of the third.

Speaker 3 So, Andrew, why don't you take it away?

Speaker 10 My next animal in this combined animal draft, you want power, you want strength, you want force.

Speaker 10 Nothing embodies that better than a rhino. But you also want speed.
You want agility. You want quickness.
You want the fastest animal per leg in the world.

Speaker 10 I introduce to you none other than the beautiful combination of both, the Rhine ostrich.

Speaker 2 As you can see,

Speaker 10 it is the power and strength of the face of a rhino on the body of an ostrich. Incredibly fast, incredibly dynamic.

Speaker 10 You got to be on the lookout for it, but also pedible, which is important for all these animals.

Speaker 3 Which you can tell because it's got this big, big smile.

Speaker 10 Yeah, he's very happy about things. He's going to like destroy a wall and he's like, I'm going to let you know about it.

Speaker 7 You made the animal version of the charger from Left 4 Dead 2.

Speaker 10 Essentially.

Speaker 12 Yeah, that's a great way to view it, Jeff.

Speaker 2 Fantastic. I've also, I got to ask, what is this? What have you drawn white on top of to do these drawings? I'm looking at the bottom left of the picture and there's some sort of...

Speaker 10 Oh, it's the image I use for everything.

Speaker 12 I just

Speaker 10 drew over

Speaker 2 the same photo. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 10 I constantly build off of the one thing.

Speaker 2 Layer deep. Yeah.

Speaker 10 It's another layer.

Speaker 2 Do you think this would be able to lift its head off the ground?

Speaker 10 I mean, based on this photo I'm looking at, yeah, he seems fine. He seems like he could do it, no problem.

Speaker 3 Based on this photo you're looking at, which is a drawing you made, you think that it can lift its head off the ground.

Speaker 10 Well, it's the only proof we have that it can, so I'm going to go with the evidence that exists instead of

Speaker 10 speculating anything outside of that. I mean, why would you reject the proof in front of you?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, hey,

Speaker 3 you showed me, and honestly, if it's charging at me, scary, even though it might be pettable, as you said,

Speaker 2 for whatever reason.

Speaker 10 All these animals are pettable that I have.

Speaker 3 Oh, oh, good.

Speaker 2 Cool.

Speaker 3 Imagine petting the

Speaker 3 chin cougator, and you go from the softness of the chinchilla to the sleekness of the cougar to the scaliness of the gator. It's sort of like an all.

Speaker 12 It's a lot of good feel.

Speaker 2 I love this that the oh is used in both words, though. That's a real nice roll off the tongue.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that was that was really smart. That's a that's a really good bridge.
Uh, rhinostridge

Speaker 3 is on the board. Andrew, you kick off our third round.
What do you have?

Speaker 10 Well, the third animal, you want another combination of of all sorts of things. You want the ability to see at large distances.
You want the ability to fly because that's important.

Speaker 10 But you also, if you're flying, you want to be able to rest comfortably.

Speaker 2 So I introduce to the world the Gerfalcomal.

Speaker 3 How do I spell that?

Speaker 10 G-I-R-F-A-L-C-A-M-E-L.

Speaker 3 A-M-E-L?

Speaker 2 Yep, Gerfalcomal. And now let me drop the visual representation.
Okay.

Speaker 10 So the Gerfalcomal, it is the neck and face of a giraffe.

Speaker 14 Sad.

Speaker 10 Well, yeah, because it can't see because it's a cloudy day while it's flying. It has the wings of a falcon.

Speaker 2 Those black wings are wings. Yeah.
Those are wings? Yeah, those are wings. Why is one on the top and one on the side?

Speaker 10 You know, listen, I didn't create the creature. I'm just looking at the photo that exists here.

Speaker 3 You didn't create the creature?

Speaker 10 No, I just, I found it in the wild. This is a photo, clearly.

Speaker 10 It's definitely not to do with the fact that I'm not an artist or know really how to draw in any capacity, but

Speaker 2 body of a camel, wings of a falcon, head of giraffe.

Speaker 10 Now, when you're flying, what's nice, typically, in a normal day, if you encounter a cloud while flying, you can't see if you're a normal person.

Speaker 8 But the giraffe can poke its head above the cloud.

Speaker 10 can see forward. Now, unfortunately, there's a lot of clouds on the day that this photo was taken.

Speaker 2 So the giraffe is sad about it. He's unhappy.

Speaker 10 He's unhappy. But that is the Drafalcamal.
Very pettable camel. I've never pet a camel.
I assume it's pettable. I assume it feels good when you sit on it.

Speaker 2 So what's the camel part of it helping out with?

Speaker 10 It gives you a place to sit securely because people ride camels.

Speaker 2 It's true, but how are you going to sit on the, you know, between the hump if the wing is there?

Speaker 13 I think the wing's not there.

Speaker 8 It's just a poor representation.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I think it's a poor drawing interpretation of the wing. Imagine the wing is in a position in which you can drop your feet down and not impact it in any way.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Is it the drummery that's the one hump? The one hump?

Speaker 2 How many humps does this have? It's got two. It's got the front and back.

Speaker 10 It's the body of a camel. Okay.
I see it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, drumadairy has the one and back three in. I don't know.
It's just, we just call them camels, man. I don't know.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's just camel one hump, camel two hump, dude.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 10 Drafalcamal.

Speaker 2 Gerfalcomal.

Speaker 3 Like Ger, like Giraffe, right?

Speaker 2 Gerfalcomal? Yeah. Gerfalcomal.
Well, you were calling it Gerfalcimal.

Speaker 14 Yeah, you keep saying Ger.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, it's because it's written Ger. Like Giraffe is written like, like, you know, G.
And so. Talking to Andrew.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Gerfalcomal.

Speaker 3 Got it. Gerfalcomal is on the board.
If you had Gerfalcomal, you have to erase it. I'm very sorry.

Speaker 3 And you have to erase this next one also. I'm making my third round pick.
It's a very easy pick for me. It's the Zonkey.

Speaker 3 The zebra donkey that you can go down to Tijuana and see. He's wearing a hat that says Mexico.
It's the Zonkey.

Speaker 10 I've never seen the Zonkey.

Speaker 2 I haven't seen the Zebs. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah, big time.

Speaker 3 People love the Zonkey. People are naming teams after the Zonkey.

Speaker 3 The Zonkey, I guess, a tourist attraction. Here's, I'll show you some more pictures.
Children petting the Zonky. The zonkie is just kind of hanging out on the street.

Speaker 2 I will say,

Speaker 10 I think the zonkey looks sadder than my Drafalcamal.

Speaker 2 Oh, I don't agree with that.

Speaker 3 Look at, look at how excited he is. He's happy to be watching.
His ears are right.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, that's exciting. Yeah, there we go.
There we go.

Speaker 3 Now, here's the thing. You're thinking, oh my God, that's crazy.
They just have this, it's this, like, the zonkie guy or whatever. The thing about the zonky, represented also as a mascot.

Speaker 2 Incredible zonky.

Speaker 3 Many, many are saying the zonkey is an unstoppable animal. Um, So the zonkie is my third pick.
I also like saying zonkie. I think zonkie is a fun, it's a fun.

Speaker 3 The zonkie scratches the itch like the Rizzler, where it's like, it's just something about it saying it makes me feel like good in my brain.

Speaker 2 How many zonkies are there?

Speaker 3 Well, here's the thing. The zonkie is a real, actual hybrid animal.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 It is, it's, it's very cute. It is a very cute little animal as a baby, but the zonkie that I'm drafting is

Speaker 3 specifically the Tijuana zonky. And there's a baby, you know, there's only one of him.

Speaker 2 One zonkie.

Speaker 3 But one zonkie in the world.

Speaker 3 Jeff, if you had zonky, get him off the board.

Speaker 7 Off the board.

Speaker 8 Won't pick him.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 3 You pick something else?

Speaker 7 Yeah, hold on. Let me look at my notes.
Okay, cool.

Speaker 7 All right. So we have made the oceans a safer, more food-filled, porky place.
I'd like to turn attention to land now.

Speaker 7 About 150 to 200 years ago, we had a bit of an oopsie here in America where we discovered that bison were delicious. And so we hunted them pretty much to extinction.

Speaker 7 A lot of people confuse the bison for the buffalo. They're two different animals, but they're very similar.
They're often interchangeable.

Speaker 7 And for the purpose of this pick, we're going to go with the buffalo, which is not as endangered, but is approaching endangered

Speaker 7 in 2025 because it rhymes with what we want to do.

Speaker 7 I'm going to reintroduce this animal into the American wilds, but

Speaker 7 we need to make up for lost time. Buffalo just don't have sex as quickly as some other animals.
So we're going to do a smaller, safer buffalo, a faster producing buffalo.

Speaker 7 I'm going to combine a rabbit and a buffalo.

Speaker 8 We're going to create the ruffalo. We're going to let them loose in our grasslands and we're going to let them populate very quickly.

Speaker 2 The ruffalo.

Speaker 3 Is the Ruffalo a smaller buffalo?

Speaker 7 It's a mix between a rabbit and a buffalo. So imagine a smaller buffalo.
I think it probably weighs in around 75 pounds.

Speaker 8 Oh, okay, cool. But with rabbit ears and a little rabbit tail, and it eats carrots, lots of carrots, but that's okay.

Speaker 2 Is the ruffalo what the things and where the wild things are are called?

Speaker 7 Well, I was basing it off Mark Ruffalo, but it could be.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think you're thinking of Mark Ruffalo, which is not

Speaker 3 he's not in that movie.

Speaker 2 Mark Ruffalo is not in that movie. Mark Ruffalo was the little boy, I thought.

Speaker 2 Okay. I'm thinking of the Gruffalo.
Oh, mime mistake.

Speaker 2 It's its own kid's book. Yeah,

Speaker 10 it's a completely different thing.

Speaker 2 Gruffalo is a giraffe combined with the Ruffalo. Yeah.

Speaker 10 That's Jeff and I combining forces. It's the Gruffalo.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Incredible. Well, The Ruffalo is on the board, and I hope they populate our plains and wildlife.
And again, very food-based, right? Like

Speaker 3 looking to eat these things? Is that the goal?

Speaker 7 No, not a cent. Well, if we're going to eat them, we're going to farm them responsibly.
We're certainly not going to over-farm them like we did. We're not going to repeat our past mistakes.

Speaker 7 So I'm sure they'll make their way onto some menus, but

Speaker 7 it'll be very responsibly and sustainably farmed.

Speaker 2 Okay, excellent. Okay.

Speaker 3 Well, there you go. Good to know.
The Ruffalo, it's on the board. Nick, you have your next pick.
It's the third round.

Speaker 2 I've hit a food and I've hit a horror.

Speaker 2 i'm going with something a little cuter this time uh it's it's an animal of legend that was actually created uh quite by accident uh a taxidermy incident i believe is uh one way to describe it i'm going with the jackalope combined funny well it's actually a jackrabbit with deer antlers on its head and uh also the name of a cool bar down south where i hung out with my wife when we were first dating.

Speaker 7 Also the name of a bar where Gavin and I, were you there, Gavin, when we saw the rat jump from one

Speaker 2 it like thumped down onto like a box of gloves or something on a shelf. Excellent.
Spent a lot of time there. Yeah, big rat.
Big old rat.

Speaker 7 Two in the afternoon, ordering lunch.

Speaker 2 I think I looked at the rat and then I looked at Gus and Gus looked at me and just shrugged.

Speaker 2 And we ordered and ate. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's a rat of the jackalope, rat jackalope. It's a different kind of animal, but it's even better, it's even stronger.

Speaker 3 Jackalope is a good pick. It is like,

Speaker 3 I think it's an animal that a lot of people know. I think a lot of people know what a jackalope is.

Speaker 3 I think there are probably a lot of people out there that probably think the jackalope is real.

Speaker 12 I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 3 You just can't listen to them.

Speaker 2 Thanks for those two brothers. Yep.

Speaker 3 Crazy that you could do that at some point, that the world was so nothing at some point that you could just go put antlers on this rabbit. We're changing the world.

Speaker 2 And then

Speaker 2 they did.

Speaker 3 But that's the end of your pick for the third round. We go now to Gavin with his last pick of the third round and his first pick of the fourth round.
Gavin, what do you got?

Speaker 2 Ooh, these are some great combined animals so far, but I'm not seeing anything particularly heroic. And that's why I would like to combine the manatee with a bat.
I give you bat manatee.

Speaker 10 I like that a lot.

Speaker 10 Speaking of good word feel, bat manatee feels good to say.

Speaker 8 Feels great.

Speaker 7 That's a really nice one.

Speaker 2 Rolls off the tongue.

Speaker 3 And what is that creature sort of like, like, what is it? What is it all about? What does it look like? That kind of thing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what's it look like? It looks like a manatee, but it talks real gruff-like, and it has a cowl.

Speaker 10 So imagine the face of Adam West

Speaker 2 on a man. It's a sense of right and wrong.

Speaker 3 So your idea is that it has bat wings or anything. You just, it wears a cowl.

Speaker 2 It wears the cowl, and it wears the eye makeup under the cowl, and then it blends in with its other manatees when it's uh got time off where are they

Speaker 2 pray to me

Speaker 10 there's nowhere to put a bomb in the sea

Speaker 3 oh man i can't wait to i can't wait for this video to come out so i can finally see what the uh the drawings of these animals are like this is gonna be awesome yeah it's gonna be good

Speaker 3 Gavin, you've had three picks, but you only have one left. So if you have so many to choose from, you better make it count your fourth and final pick, the best combined animals draft.

Speaker 2 Well, it was originally going to be a pish with pigfish because I just felt like I wanted there to be some sort of bacon-flavored sushi to eat.

Speaker 3 Wow, you guys are the same fucking person. Jesus.
Definitely.

Speaker 2 He sea dogged me. So I've been sort of scrambling and I've come up with something.

Speaker 2 I'm not really sure how offensive it is, but we'll see. I'll see if he gets by.
Oh, offensive? Have you heard of the water bear?

Speaker 3 Have I heard of?

Speaker 2 Have I heard of the what?

Speaker 10 Yeah, yeah, the water bear. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Have I heard of the water bear it's the tiny microscopic uh it's called a tardigrade oh oh the little yeah okay yeah yeah yeah yeah got it I would like to combine that with the powers of the Aardvark I give you the Tardvok

Speaker 10 like I said that was a scramble The thing is, is like I would have never thought of it in an offensive way unless you set it up like that.

Speaker 3 No, yeah, I don't know why you would do that.

Speaker 2 But you would, you would hit, you would hit Odvark and not think of an offensive word?

Speaker 10 No, not in the context.

Speaker 7 Sounds like somebody's combining tardigrade and ardwark to me.

Speaker 2 Okay, fine. I guess it passes.

Speaker 3 So, what is it? What is it like? What does it look like? Or kind of like, what is it?

Speaker 2 You know, let me see.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 3 Ardvark with a really gruff voice.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think maybe it's just an Aardvark that can live a river. It can survive in space.

Speaker 3 It's an aardvark that can survive in space.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it goes into like

Speaker 2 sort of ultra

Speaker 2 hibernation state, and then you can wake it up later.

Speaker 3 It's an aardvark that can survive in space. That's what it is.

Speaker 2 That's what it looks like. It's got the powers of a tardigrade.
Yeah. Okay.
But an aardvark. Yeah, but it's got an aardvark mouth instead of its weird, like, sock hole.

Speaker 13 Got it.

Speaker 3 Well, right. I thought that it had that when you said it was an an aardvark that can survive in space.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 There you go. That's what it is.
What a board.

Speaker 3 Well, these are the best combined animals for sure. Undeniably.
Yeah, and we're not even done yet.

Speaker 3 We still have four more picks because Nick has his fourth and final pick of the best combined animals draft.

Speaker 2 Well, I've touched on a few things, but I really want to appeal to the audience here. And this is one that I have not, I've not seen this.

Speaker 2 I didn't watch this particular thing while it was on television. But I hear that our audience may be fans of this.
And apparently, they're big fans of what this character is. I've heard great things.

Speaker 2 So I'm going with Nina Tucker, aka the Chimera Dog from Full Metal Alchemist.

Speaker 2 Wow. It's a combined little girl and dog by her dad because he needed to

Speaker 2 keep a job, something like that.

Speaker 2 I don't know what it was. I didn't see it.
So you did did use a human.

Speaker 2 In a way. In a way.
In a way. In a way.
In a way. In a way.
It's called a chimera.

Speaker 3 In a way.

Speaker 2 It's chimera dog. Combo.

Speaker 2 Girl, human.

Speaker 3 I mean, that is.

Speaker 3 You did it. And there it is.
You used a human. It's so far the only one that's used a human.
Although, when you see Batmanatee, you think that might have something. Nope.

Speaker 2 No, no, no. Or, or you're looking at the board.

Speaker 3 Ruffalo could be.

Speaker 2 Nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 3 Nope, nope. Has nothing to do with him.

Speaker 2 Nope. Well, I don't know.
He does talk a lot like a human man dressed as a bat.

Speaker 3 But he's a manatee.

Speaker 2 Mark Ruffalo?

Speaker 2 Right. And this is a dog.
Dog girl.

Speaker 3 Well, Chimera Dog for Full Metal Alchemist is on the board.

Speaker 2 Nina Tucker.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I do think the audience will resonate with that.

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 3 I think a lot of people are going to have a lot to say about that specifically, unless it can be topped by Jeff right here with his fourth and final pick of the best combined animals draft.

Speaker 7 I'll be honest, this is a tough one. I'm down to my final seven picks, and I can only pick one.

Speaker 7 I got some real bangers in here, which is why I want to present an idea to you guys at the tail end of this.

Speaker 7 Okay, we fixed the oceans. We repopulated the American West and our

Speaker 7 grasslands, our Midwest. I'd like to do something nice.
for a group of people that have very quietly just been solid neighbors. They've been pleasant.
They're inoffensive. They're wonderful.

Speaker 7 They never really ask for anything. And to top it all off, they gave us Jim Carey and Andrew Panton

Speaker 7 two just two of the biggest gifts I've received in my life. I'm talking, of course, about the country of Canada.

Speaker 7 I'd like to do something nice for our neighbor because I'll be honest, I feel like we haven't been very nice to you the last couple of years, as is evidenced from the lack of Canadians drinking our whiskey and going to Las Vegas anymore.

Speaker 7 And so in an effort to repair these tense relations and these hyper-charged political times, I'd like to help give you a gift of something that your country kind of singularly loves.

Speaker 7 I don't think it's the greatest thing you've ever created, but it's definitely one of the most beloved inventions of your country.

Speaker 7 That's why I'm going to mix a mouse, an inoffensive, cute little house mouse, with an African hippopotamus creating the hippopotamouse and essentially giving you a real life, is it a pest or is it a pet version of the,

Speaker 7 what do you call it, the North American house hippo?

Speaker 3 The house hippo.

Speaker 2 Oh, we gotta roll. Yeah,

Speaker 7 I'm creating the closest thing to a house hippo that I can in the hippopotamus.

Speaker 2 Another phenomenal

Speaker 2 roll off-the-tongue name. Yeah.

Speaker 2 France

Speaker 10 gave the U.S. the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 3 Jeff gave Canada this beautiful beautiful creation the hippopotamus hippopotamouse i love it it's the size of a mouse but it looks like a hippo with a little bit so cute yeah i get it and when i looked it up it gave me this just to be clear that's not what it looks like i'm just letting you know yeah i'm just letting you know that when i googled it like when i searched that is something that came up want to be clear that's not what it is no um

Speaker 3 maybe it's a little closer to this thing very cute fun hippopotamus much closer to that much closer to that.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 3 It's pretty cool. Man, what a move.

Speaker 10 Jeff, thank you.

Speaker 10 The country of Canada as a whole, thanks you so much.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 7 Canada, thank you.

Speaker 8 Thank you for William Shatner. Thank you for Gordon Lightfoot.
Thank you for Jim Carrey.

Speaker 7 Thank you for Andrew. Thank you for Raymond.
Thank you for Johnny Caviar.

Speaker 2 Wow. That top hippopotamus, what is it? Hippopotamouse picture.
It kind of looks like a slog from Abe's Odyssey. Yeah.

Speaker 10 I could see that. And you know what I love about you, Gavin, is you're the only person that would make that reference in the world.

Speaker 2 I hundred percent,

Speaker 3 and it was just like, dude, it's over my head. I got no idea.

Speaker 10 I love it. I love that you carry a torch for that game.

Speaker 2 It's a great game. Love it.

Speaker 3 Well, Hippopotamus is on the board. Only two picks left.
We go to me for my fourth and final pick. I'm staying within sort of the realm of words that feel good to say with animals that do exist.

Speaker 3 This, my friends, is the geep.

Speaker 3 It is a goat-sheep hybrid. It is incredibly rare, but it does exist.
It is a baby geep. The little geep, the geep.

Speaker 2 Wait, so a goat could shag a sheep? Yep.

Speaker 3 And do you know what happens when that happens, Gavin?

Speaker 2 Geep. How does it happen so rarely? Geep.
How does that even work? I don't know.

Speaker 3 Here is the rare geep.

Speaker 7 Their families keep them apart.

Speaker 3 It's called.

Speaker 3 I think so. Yeah, it's like a Romeo Juliet kind of thing.

Speaker 2 That's blowing my mind.

Speaker 3 It's got a goat eye, but sheep fur. Kind of a goat head, but kind of a sheep head.
We love the geep around here.

Speaker 9 Oh, the geep is so cute.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we love the geep. Big geep heads.

Speaker 3 Oh, a very rare animal. The zonky, the geep.

Speaker 3 Feels good to say. Feels nice to know they're a bitch.

Speaker 2 It's kind of a duo.

Speaker 3 I think that's what is zonky and the geep.

Speaker 7 Do you think these animals exist in goofworld? Would they be in the goofworld zoo?

Speaker 2 They should. Yeah, absolutely.
We're working on it. We're trying to get it done.

Speaker 3 I could drive the little train and go on your right, it's the Ruffalo.

Speaker 9 And to your left, there's a field of deep.

Speaker 3 Well, we've made all of our picks, except Andrew, who has the very last pick here in the best combined animals draft. Andrew, what do you have to close us out with?

Speaker 10 Well, you're talking about good mouthfeel on these animals.

Speaker 10 And that is not going to be.

Speaker 3 I didn't say it.

Speaker 10 Just just to be clear to the audience i didn't say that it was andrew andrew said that i sort of everybody has been saying it the last animal of this draft is none other than a cant orchula a cant orchula

Speaker 10 c-a-n-t-o-r-t u-l-a now what we have here is we have part ant Part tortoise, part cat, part tarantula. Oh, let me drop this visualization for you so you can see.

Speaker 10 As you see, it is the face and head of an ant.

Speaker 3 Oh, no.

Speaker 10 With the neck of a turtle and a shell, a turtle shell, but then the legs of a tarantula and a big fluffy tail like a cat.

Speaker 2 Why does it have 10 legs?

Speaker 10 Because I googled tarantula and that's how many legs I saw on it.

Speaker 2 Tarantula is eight.

Speaker 10 Well, I don't, you know, listen, I don't know what I saw then.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you want this to be a canned tantala or a cant tantula?

Speaker 8 If it wants two extra legs, it can do it.

Speaker 2 Let me look at this. Let me pull this up.
Let me pull it up. I like the total with the transparent head.
You know what? I think it's fangs.

Speaker 10 I got confused by the fangs. I thought the fangs were legs.

Speaker 2 Well, just sharpen up the front legs and then you're good to go. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 10 Yeah, well, maybe it's just some fangs. Maybe it has fangs as well.
It's double fangs. Fangs on its shoulders.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's a double fangish.

Speaker 10 I think it still works. Now, this was the last one I made, and it took me four drawings to figure out how I want to articulate this.

Speaker 2 So I took

Speaker 2 colors.

Speaker 2 Okay. Colors of what parts were what.

Speaker 2 Orange cat, red ant, green turtle,

Speaker 2 black, oola. I want to make a kid's book with all your drawings.

Speaker 10 It did, when I was doing this, give me a thought of it would be funny to do a segment.

Speaker 10 I was trying to think if I have any friends that have like a five-year-old where we both get the same word prompt, and you guys have to decide who drew what is being presented.

Speaker 10 What, you or the five-year-old yeah like we both submit our submissions for the prompt and then you guys have to try to decipher who did what isn't that just to basically play a jackbox game with a five-year-old is it kind of yeah

Speaker 10 we gave submissions for animals i know who's not submitting and that's the cantortula because it doesn't know how

Speaker 2 it doesn't know how doesn't know how

Speaker 10 10 legs but no knowledge well yeah well i thought it had 10 legs turns out it has fangs has shoulder fangs we just discovered Gavin the scientist brought it into the lab.

Speaker 3 Gavin the scientist. That's it.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 3 The classic scientist. Well, guys, that closes out the best combined animals draft.
Let's go down the board.

Speaker 2 See where everything stays.

Speaker 3 It is Andrew

Speaker 3 with the chinkugator, Rhine Ostrich,

Speaker 3 giraffe. Hang on.
Giraffe Falcomal.

Speaker 3 Girafalcamal. It's the hardest one.
Cantortula. Those are Andrew's four animals.
Nailed it, Eric.

Speaker 3 I have drafted Cat Dog, Pigeon Rat, Zonky, Geep. I feel like those are things to activate a sleeper agent.

Speaker 2 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 Jeff has drafted the Scaredy Shark, the Sea Dog, the Ruffalo, and the Hippopotamouse. Very nice.
Nick has drafted Turducken, Predalien, Jackalope, and the Chimera Dog for Full Metal Alchemist.

Speaker 3 And Gavin, finally, has drafted the Armadildo, the Tampon, the Batman, and the Tardvark. Guys, those are the animals draft, the combined animals that we came up with.
Any honorable mentions?

Speaker 2 I have a whole other board.

Speaker 7 Now, let me, before we mention that, before we go into that,

Speaker 7 let me proposition this to you guys.

Speaker 7 I'm going to write down my honorable mentions here.

Speaker 7 Someone in the comments for a video I saw recently, I think it was on Patreon, but I can't remember specifically, said an honorable mentions draft would be a really cool idea where the pool is all the previous honorable mentions from other drafts, which I thought is actually a pretty interesting idea, but I would say almost impossible to enact going backward.

Speaker 7 Yeah. But if we started it here

Speaker 7 and held on, if everybody held on to our honorable mentions, maybe in like, I don't know, seven or eight drafts from now, we could do a round of honorable mention drafts and then we would draft from the pool of our own honorable mentions.

Speaker 3 I like that idea. Can I, can I propose something? Cause

Speaker 3 I had maybe a similar idea that wasn't exactly this.

Speaker 3 I kind of want to do a one more thing draft where the pool is, it's very similar to the honorable mentions thing, but instead of going forward, it's going backward to all of our other drafts.

Speaker 3 And you just draft one more thing that you would have wanted to draft in any of those drafts. But you don't have to explain what draft it was from.

Speaker 3 You can just pick something that you're like, damn, I wish I would have gotten this one on the falls draft. So you could pick a fall.

Speaker 3 The pool is everything that went undrafted in all of our previous drafts that you wanted one more thing on.

Speaker 2 So I've had some dropped pools.

Speaker 10 With all that said, I feel I can share my what would be honorable mentions because it's a completely different board. It's for a different game.

Speaker 3 What does that mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 7 I mean, I think it'd still be funny if you drew from that and then we found out about that in three months, but go ahead and share.

Speaker 10 It's just it, I don't think they're fun picks, but they are,

Speaker 10 they are, like, when I didn't know what this was, I came up with two lists. I came up with the Chikugator list.

Speaker 2 My other list features things such as cockroach, bullfrog, bulldog,

Speaker 2 oh,

Speaker 10 lionfish.

Speaker 2 Real animals with combined names.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was the angle or if we were doing Island Monroe style, as they say. I'll get you.

Speaker 2 I like that we've all thought of potential or different ways to go about this draft, but we all kind of settled in the same place.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Well, I think we all settled on the best idea or the most creative idea, probably.

Speaker 7 Like using humans from Full Metal Academy.

Speaker 13 But

Speaker 13 every idea was valid.

Speaker 7 It is interesting that there are so many different interpretations of how this could have gone.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I can't get out of my head the image of a pred alien eating a turducken and what they must feel about it.

Speaker 2 That would be incredible.

Speaker 6 They feel pretty good about it.

Speaker 2 I'm blown away that at no point did I think that I could combine more than two animals.

Speaker 3 Same.

Speaker 10 Never crossed my mind.

Speaker 2 As soon as Andrew had a triple, I was like, oh, that would have opened up a lot of windows.

Speaker 7 Gavin, I'm in the same boat.

Speaker 7 He said the alligator thing and I went, Jeff, you fucking idiots.

Speaker 2 Maybe we are the same person.

Speaker 7 I sat in a coffee shop this morning for a half an hour just trying to come up with more ideas and just trying to fucking ram two different names together over and over again.

Speaker 7 If I could have thrown a third one in there, it would have blown my mind.

Speaker 10 What a draft. I'm so excited to see the audience reaction to this.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm really excited. And you guys can let us know who

Speaker 3 won the best combined animals draft here.

Speaker 3 You'll watch this video and you'll know if Gavin drew his animals and we put them in later or if he didn't do it. This is, it'll be easy for you to understand right away.

Speaker 2 Spoiler. Yeah, spoiler.

Speaker 2 I feel like it got poo-pooed a little bit by the host of this video.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, again, it doesn't make for better content.

Speaker 2 No?

Speaker 10 You somehow both said that in a way that was retaliatory and also a question.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 7 That's the most confused argument I've ever heard.

Speaker 3 Well, there you have it. The best combined animals draft.
That's what we have. We didn't share honorable mentions because we'll probably use those going forward.
Thank you so much for watching.

Speaker 3 Let us know in the comment. Vote in the poll.
Let us know who had the best combined animals. Check out the gameplay videos.
Check out patreon.com/slash the regulation pod.

Speaker 3 Let us know what combined animals we missed that you really wanted to see on here. And we'll see you next time.

Speaker 2 Bye.

Speaker 2 Bye. Bye.
