*****
In this 178th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
Should men be competing in women’s sports? Do men who do so exhibit sophistry and cheating? What are the implications of Trump’s arraignment, and of the fact that MSNBC would not live broadcast his speech afterwards? What is going on with carnivorous plants? How are they like mangroves? Do they ever switch between being carnivorous and not? And what about that species in Borneo that collects the poop of tree shrews?

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast live stream number one 78. I am Dr. Brett Weinstein. |
| 0:11.8 | This is Dr Heather Hying and it's been a hell of a week but it's always a hell of a week now. |
| 0:17.2 | It's just the way history has gone. It is. It is. So we're going to talk some about sport today. |
| 0:23.4 | We're going to talk about Trump arrangement. Some I think and we're going to talk about carnivorous plants. |
| 0:30.9 | Obviously. Well, I'm glad we're going to be talking about sport and carnivorous plants because |
| 0:34.8 | there's no way those are political. It gives us a chance to get out of the space in which things |
| 0:38.6 | have a huge political dimension and talk about other things that people find interesting. |
| 0:43.6 | Yeah. Well, we are going to finish on carnivorous plants and I think I at least have I've not gone |
| 0:47.5 | looking but I have not found the political angle on carnivorous plants. So fingers crossed, I won't |
| 0:52.7 | find it before we get to that point in the podcast. I have some concern that somebody will find |
| 0:57.6 | a political dimension before we get to that side. Yeah. Probably. Somehow work will reach us. |
| 1:02.6 | We'll get dragged in. Yeah, that's that's possible. Well, we are streaming on rumble. That's where |
| 1:09.1 | the chat is. We're going to have a Q&A after this. We encourage you to join us there only on rumble. |
| 1:14.7 | And tomorrow we have our private Q&A that we do once monthly where you can find that access at our |
| 1:19.3 | Patreon. So we're going to talk more about some other places that you can find us and |
| 1:23.2 | upcoming changes to our schedule. We're actually going to come to you next Wednesday rather than |
| 1:27.2 | Saturday. But we're going to be talking about that again at the end of this podcast. But now |
| 1:32.3 | I just want to thank you for being here. I encourage you to like, subscribe, especially on the |
| 1:37.0 | rumble channel, et cetera. And we're going to just jump right into our three ads right at the top |
| 1:41.9 | of the hour. Let's do it. Let's do it. You were. I am first. That is shocking news. But I'm ready. |
| 1:47.7 | Not really. No, there it is. Our first sponsor, no one will be surprised to discover, is uncrews. |
| 1:56.6 | Small-ship adventures. Uncrews explores by sea and by land. They have boats that hold orders |
