Is this a trick? For the part, you actually want to record me because I can go somewhere

quieter.

That sounds really good where you are right now.

The dishwasher is on.

We're trying a new thing where I talk to some New Zealand friends about the topic I'm going to do.

Okay.

And so I just wanted to run a topic by you.

Okay, and this is practice or is this real? This is the real thing. Oh no. But if you don't like it I can not use it.

Okay. Shoot. The episode that I'm going to be looking into is about how the US military trains

dolphins over here to do, I'm not sure what crime, anti-crime to attack criminals in the ocean.

What? Do you know anything about dolphins being trained to, I attack other people or anything like that have you heard

about this? I have never heard about that but I do have a memory did I use other aquatic creatures as well? I feel like I've heard about

seals being used or is that just because Navy SEALs? Maybe I'm getting confused.

No I think there might be some other, I think maybe yes.

Never heard about dolphins being used. It's horrifying.

I'm David Farrier, New Zealand are accidentally marooned in America, and I want to figure out what makes this country tick.

Now one of the most amazing things I've discovered during my time here is that the US Navy has a fleet of trained dolphins and sea lions at their disposal.

I thought this was a joke for ages until a guest on an earlier flightless bird

episode confirmed it was all real and that She had helped train them.

American sea life has not only been militarized to patrol U.S. waters,

but various creatures get sent off to combat zones all around the globe.

The Iraq War, Vietnam, America's aquatic army has been there swimming around doing God knows what.
