speaker_0HOST
But here is the thing I always think about when we discuss cults in media.
speaker_0HOST
They are essentially emotional Venus flytraps.
speaker_1HOST
I would actually love to hear you expand on that.
speaker_1HOST
How does the flytrap metaphor function here?
Tom ScottHOST
I was thinking about those plants that react to music, those fake old things that kind of jiggled around.
James SmalesGUEST
[laughs] Is it like a Venus flytrap?
Tom ScottHOST
Yes, it is, James.
Tom ScottHOST
Yes.
Tom ScottHOST
I think that's close enough.
Tom ScottHOST
I'm gonna give you that.
Tom ScottHOST
Uh, the Venus flytrap catches prey, uh, using modified leaves that snap shut when trigger hairs are stimulated.
Tom ScottHOST

Norm AugustinusHOST
100,000 stretched out cunts are laying just five feet below the surface.
Norm AugustinusHOST
They're down there like a Venus flytrap that's yet to come to the surface.
Norm AugustinusHOST
That's what their cunt is just like.
Norm AugustinusHOST
You ever see a Venus flytrap? Man, they open up.
Norm AugustinusHOST

George PetrieVOICE_ACTOR
Oh, God.
George PetrieVOICE_ACTOR
The bedspread closed on him the way a Venus flytrap closes on a fly.
George PetrieVOICE_ACTOR
When I looked more closely, I saw that the bedspread had silvery threads of fine spring steel woven into it.
George PetrieVOICE_ACTOR

Fionna CosgroveGUEST
So not only is it spooky, it's some of them do have like a hint of STEM, which I really like.
Fionna CosgroveGUEST

Fionna CosgroveGUEST

Fionna CosgroveGUEST
Yeah,
Lulu MillerHOST
That's coming up.
Lulu MillerHOST
Uh, but we need your questions about butts, about reindeer, about tardigrades, about darkness itself, about Venus flytraps.
Lulu MillerHOST
Uh, so if any of these snap [laughs] see what I did there? 'Cause of the snap from the Venus flytrap.
Lulu MillerHOST
Uh, if any of these snap some questions into your mind, let us know what they are.

All right, Dr. Venus Flytrap over there.
David HerleHOST
What are you, uh, spinning, Scott?

Like, everybody else has a plant behind them.
