My Octopus Teacher

And so if I can talk about something I've watched.

Recently, we watched a documentary called My Octopus Teacher.

It's set off of Cape Town.

And it's a story of a snorkeler who spends a year with an octopus and actually befriends the octopus.

watched that was recommended to us on our last episode.

It's My Octopus Teacher.

Oh, I heard about that one.

Oh, God.

Like, it was months of planning, you know...

It's a very fascinating documentary.

Yeah, My Octopus Teacher is

fantastic.

don't eat rat because when people find out that animals like that are quite smart they stopped eating him my uncle stopped eating octopus because he realized that they get to like three to five years of age and they and they have like the cognition of

three to five year olds i didn't have you is that because of my octopus teacher is that have you seen that documentary is that where she fucks the octopus yeah or is that where they fuck my there's the one where they

fuck a dolphin Are you joking here? No, someone's fucked a dolphin before.

They used to give, they used to, for research, to see if dolphins were intelligent.

I tried-

My Octopus Teacher.

Is that what it was?

My Octo- yeah, it was My Octopus Teacher.

Um-

Oh, I loved that

Bro.

We went to where they filmed My Octopus Teacher.

[gasps]

Which is when Liam and I hung out the first night we ever met in the hotel.

That's so full circle.

We were watching My Octopus Teacher, and we went and snorkeled there on, on...

We didn't even plan it.

Once I got there, I wanted to go snorkeling, and I realized False Bay is the place where they filmed it.

...

in the last few years with their best documentary candidate, My Octopus Teacher, from a few years ago, and now this.

I think she's quite good in that movie.

And I'm...

Another thing I comment on is.

You know, octopus, octopuses are, you know, after that movie came out, My Octopus Teacher, people stopped ordering octopus in restaurants.

I thought that was pretty wild.

You know, how about the bacon you

We're very communal, generally, as a species, for sure.

So it seems to me, as much as we all love us some octopus, especially after the documentary, My Octopus Teacher, n- no one...

I, I...

Love me some octopus, but as a next species to test, I don't see why you would glean any insights back into humans by treating octopuses, other than have a hilarious time watching them react.
