Hey Girlfriends, it's me Carol Fisher back with another season of the global number one

podcast the Girlfriends. Last time we investigated the murder of Gail Katz. This time

we're uncovering the identity of the woman who was buried in

Gail's grave for a decade before she disappeared.

Join me and the rest of the club as we tell her story.

Listen to season two of the girlfriends,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hi, my name is Robert Lamb, and this is The Monster Fact, a short form series from stuff to blow your mind focusing on mythical creatures, ideas and monsters in time. We cannot discuss the various creatures of the Star Trek universe without of course considering

mammalian trible, which seems to serve as a basic prey species for all the space lizards. The triple is of course a small

furry creature with no discernible limbs or features really. Its only means of defending itself,

at least against humanoids, is to basically tranquilize

the humanoid with a gentle cooing effect.

They are even reportedly born already pregnant and can quickly overrun any given ecosystem

or Starship that they are introduced into.

In their natural habitat, they eat and root produce as quickly as possible, but their numbers

are kept in check, presumably by their many voracious predators.

food, and a crew overcome by their adorable cuteness, their population very quickly spirals out of control.
