Hello, listeners. We're going to start this week's episode with a little sound quiz. I'm going to do something with my pen and my pad of paper, which I think captures the sound of an animal in nature perfectly. Some of my co-host disagree. Your job, dear listener, is to guess what animal this is.

The answer?

A horse running wild and free in a meadow.

What you're hearing is the clip-clop of the horse's hooves on the grass that has been compressed by generations of horses running before it.

That was this week's sound quiz, and now we begin the main event.

Wait a minute.

That did not sound anything like what you just tested for us.

You were like, does this sound like a horse?

Well, I had to, because I'm lifting the notebook to get it close to my microphone.

Well, it actually did sound like a horse that time.

I think that was a bait and switch.

Hold on. I'm going to lower my microphone. This is going to sound crazy.

Okay, here we go. Now, this is the original way that I originally did it when I was like, oh my God, this sounds just like a horse galloping.

Here we go.

That's not how we heard it because we didn't hear it through that mic.

Okay, what about this?

Now the horse is on the pavement.

That's how we heard it.

Yeah.

Can you do two pens? Can you do a stampede of horses? I only have heard it. Yeah. Can you do two pens?

Can you do a stampede of horses?

I only have one pen.
