From NHPR, this is Outside In, a show where curiosity in the natural world collide.

I am Nate Hedgy, here with the whole freaking team.

Well, almost the entire team.

Oh.

Justine, we'll see you soon.

But we got Marina Hankey.

Hello.

Taylor Quimby.

Here.

And the magical, mysterious Felix Poon.

I am here.

I wish there was a podcast version of like running onto the field and like bursting through the paper archway, you know? I wish that as well. Said we're just like sitting here drinking coffee. It is coffee o'clock. Well, for you it's always coffee o'clock, Taylor. And Nate, it's like 3 a.m. for something. It is still dark outside. Oh, my God. Is it really? No, it's not actually dark out. Yeah, it's 8 in the morning. Eight in the morning in Alaska. What, how many hours of daylight you get in these days? We're doing a while. We get 8.30 to 3.45 right now. But remember, in the summertime, it's like 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. But that's like not good. How do you fall asleep?

I can sleep with light out. It's pretty easy. You know, it's weird. I love to nap in sunlight like a cat or dog. But at night, I like it dark. Why is that, do you think? Is this one of our questions? No, no, but I'm saying like the sunlight, it's not just training. like I like I get sleepier in sunlight if it's a nap. Taylor, you get,

you get, you get sleepy anywhere and everywhere. You get sleepy driving cars, if I remember correctly. That's because cars like are like a massage chair. What are you driving? Well, are you, when you're driving, are you cruise controlling it? Oh, I go back and forth. Kind of

depends what traffic's like. Because I had to take a, I had to take a, so in order to get your

Alaska driver's license, you have to take a knowledge test. It's just tons of questions.

And one of them was like, which of the following is not true? And it was like, if you're driving

with cruise control, you'll get like road hypnosis and fall asleep. And I was like, that's not true. And it was one of the ones that was true. That's totally true. I don't drive with cruise control for this exact reason. I mean, that's one of those subjective questions that they put on a multiple choice that's like some people, maybe, some people not, I don't know, depends on other factors. Maybe you're blasting heavy metal on cruise control.

It's going to keep you up.

Okay, wow. I think we should maybe be sending in our questions to the outside inbox, but we can't.

Yeah.

I'll start my burner account and start sending these questions.
