Miguel CruzHOST
Actually, I don't think I did that right.
John BattleGUEST
I'm a talker.
John BattleGUEST
uh i'm not a bricklayer in that sense so how how would someone else advise me what my role should be do you know what i mean share that drawing out of people and and that then brings out what's special in each person gives them a contributing creative role and that way we rebuild the institutions and it's from the base upwards and a bit like i'm going back to to jonah jonah was taken out and i went out on the boat Whale swallowed him up.
John BattleGUEST
And then just as you're trying to escape to the desert island or wherever, or the monastery, the whale goes and sicks you back up on the same damn beach.

Zac PenmanGUEST
Yeah, I'd say there's probably a humpback whale in the vicinity.
Zac PenmanGUEST

The issue is the ocean's even bigger, so sometimes it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Across other seas, even the depth of an ordinary hunting dive shifts.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Whales carrying sound tags in the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Ligurian Sea went deepest on average in the Atlantic, a little less deep in the Ligurian Sea and least deep in the Gulf of Mexico.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Wherever they were, they settled into regular clicking long before their first buzz, traveling a good way down through the water while searching.

On the deeper dives they kept plenty of time for feeding by spending less of it on the journey down and back up.
