Voices from the Deep with Dr. Michelle Fournet and Dr. Ellen Garland 

Chuck... is this just an alternative account you made?! 🤨

I second this

They should call this "Chuck to School"

OMFG YES!

LOL NIce

Hahahahaha

😂

Brilliant xD

The llama would probably spit in his face. They do that.

Time stamp?

naah it was the “everybody just shut up” 😂😂

​@@davidevans3227They did talk about it, you just both missed it and it wasn't the main topic.

i'm reminded of a Far Side cartoon, where the scientists in a boat are trying to decode the whale song and it translates to the lyrics to "Louie Louie"

I think he has progressed and evolved tremendously and now is a truly engaging and vital part of the formula.

Ya you're right. You should really check out this channel StarTalk on RU-vid where he does exactly that. You might like it.

Yes, I thought that was quite rude of Neil.

Agreed

Thank you for articulating exactly what I was thinking!

Chuck almost always slips a question in - I see his "anger" as general ribbing, which they always do to each other. It is funny. Just like Neil always gets on Chuck for saying that folks just send them money and how rude it is, but Chuck still does it. It´s a gag. These two are great together.

His show

Lol exactly what I was thinking. Hard to believe a marine biologist, or ecologist or whatever, would make that mistake.

Women do the same thing. If my wife turns red during a discussion, I know to back off😈

@Nic B They answered questions like at 15:03, "Do you think that intelligent life that lives beneath the surface could communicate using something else than sound?" The reply was, "It's really all about sound. I'd be really surprised if there was a different communication system." They weren't answering about just whales, and seem to be unaware of the results of research into communication by cephalopods, or at least nobody recalled it during the interview.

Don’t forget about being condescending too

I agree, but he does add relevant insight most times. I mean, it is his pony and he leads it.

@@Pragma020 He’s incorrect a lot. I wrote about his Joe Rogan interview disaster. Spooky action at a distance was so wrong. Einstein not Newton. Quantum mechanics not gravity.. he’s terrible

They spend half the time making jokes and laughing and don't have enough time for the guests to speak.

@@Pragma020 He can do that by just posing the questions, I think.

Michelle was very articulate

I thought I was the only one 😀

Chuck busting with the genius. "We would be the arrival."

And yet they communicate using a form of Gravitational Waves we can't detect...

@@RyanRamboer-sv3pm or your wrong nobody knows whose right or wrong. That's what Science is all about...

@@RyanRamboer-sv3pm Except that some science is thought to be concrete, then it turns out there are different rules at different levels, so it's not concrete at all. Like gravity.

Whales don't "weigh anything" in water, but a whale is not a single particle. Different parts of the whale and its cells have different densities. That's how you can go underwater and still tell which way is up. For example a cell with some sort of dense grain in it could stimulate a nerve a different amount based on local variations in gravity.

Pressure solves this. The deeper the greater the pressure.

This is something that actually bothers me in many of their videos. They're both sooo bright, but seem to sometimes get sort of lost between presentations of the wondrous science and fascinating information, and the desire to "entertain".

@Jake & Judy: I agree. The need to `entertain`, in some episodes of Star Talk, is so over-the-top that it is absolutely gratuitous and obnoxious; it is actually a main reason why I am not a subscriber. Something that irritated me immensely, though, in this interview takes place at the end, of this episode, when Michelle Fournet said that their intention is to not have a conversation with animals, such as whales; it is their intention to study animals in their natural environment, deciphering their language while never allowing the animals to know that they are there. Well, I don't know that whales are, necessarily, cognitive & freethinking, sentient, beings; but, even if they aren't, & certainly if they are, they are, it's pretty obvious, nonetheless certainly aware of our existence by the very reality that human beings have been polluting the environment, on an industrial scale, for about 300 years...& to a lesser degree for a lot longer! (The Industrial Revolution began in Europe in, approximately, the year 1730.) Humans have actually been polluting the environment for thousands of years; they have only been doing it on such a widespread systematic scale, at an industrial level, for only about three centuries. To clarify, some people say that dogs are cognitive & freethinking, sentient, beings; others say that only certain breeds of dogs. Some people say this about cats, too. Well, whether they are or are not, dogs & cats know that by licking our faces in the mornings as we are asleep, barking/meowing at us & waking us up, that we will feed them, that we will take them/let them go outside, to go to the bathroom, to meet their friends, get some exercise, chase a ball, etc. So, they know that we are there whether or not they are cognitive, freethinking & sentient! Trying to hide ourselves from their gaze only serves to waste time as we foolishly tell ourselves that we are doing something for some _`greater good`,_ when we are expressing a willful ignorance about what we are, and have been, actually doing. And Neil brought Star Trek's _`Prime Directive`,_ which Michelle Fournet agreed with, which, of course, only serves to justify and further increase that willful ignorance. The episode was basically over when they brought up this idea of communicating with animals & maybe there just wasn't enough time to refute the ridiculousness that we should not be communicating with them. But, it was such a dumb thing to say... And they generally do not revisit topics of discussion in later episodes, no matter how foolish & ignorant some statement that someone made was. That's another reason that I am not a subscriber...

I really think that Chuck is not a comedian here, he's someone that actually add something to the conversation, even pulling some jokes here and there, he's just the exact opposite of Neil and what he needs to keep this going smoothly. Chuck is amazing ❤️

Chuck is way better than the fem wannabe comedians, so I vote for chuck or someone equally thoughtful and entertaining. Or big jiggly bits are always entertaining.

@@alexandermartin1837 What's this channel. Can you share the Link please.

What do you mean in your experience? Have you had a larger brain before?

@@morrownow Honestly, yes but traumatic head injuries aside, I was referring to others and large animals.

Love this point ❤

Certain aspects of him are really immature and child-like. When he interviews "real adults" it really shows.

I kind of agree, but this stuff about animals is super interesting, and they have to diversify their topics if they wanna keep doing the show. And they don't want to over work the same topics, they already have multiple episodes on the same topics where they say some of the same stuff like comparisons, stories, and information. I'm a fan of almost everything they do though, as long as it's Neil and Chuck I'm happy. I'll include Gary in there too because I really like him as well, episodes without Chuck really just don't hit as much. And to be completely honest, I like the other guest co-hosts most the time a little bit, but I honestly really disliked the last female comedian co-host a whole lot, Nadine or whatever her name is. I hope she never comes back because she is the worst guest/comedian/co-host to ever be on this show and I have seen a lot of them come and go. She definitely takes the cake as the worst by a substantial margin, made me appreciate Chuck way more than I already do, and that's saying something because I already loved having Chuck on the show

Dolphins too...😈
