Habitat Enrichment

Feb 2, 2023 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

already February

A friend of mine went to a liberal arts college up in the Putney area of Vermont and I went up the a few times to visit. I love that area. Old quarries to swim in and ancient apple orchards. Top shelf.

TAndy 8:34:58 AM
That live in wooden ships for some reason
Ossy Hyouka 8:35:56 AM
Oh, those annoying little sheets, that try to stop me from getting to Bowser's kids.
Ossy Hyouka 8:36:57 AM
I recently seen those similar enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and the boss named Major Burrows
Li Maria 8:37:33 AM
They also climb chain-link fences, according to my neighbor
Ossy Hyouka 8:37:48 AM
Coyotes are smelly and cougars are pure scarier than wolves
Brian D 8:37:50 AM
Was delving into the web and saw a cool animal, the olm. Cave dwelling salamander. Looks a bit sci fi critterish. Pale, don't get much light etc
DSM 8:39:03 AM
watch pig!
Ossy Hyouka 8:39:03 AM
I see opposums, few times, usually at night.
Krista (host) 8:45:54 AM
I always think about Eminem's Groundhog Day
Rofflestomp 8:46:00 AM
Are Groundhogs good with ketchup? Because if they were digging under my house, they would come to know ketchup for sure.
Brian D 8:47:13 AM
Whistle Pig also a brand of rye whiskey (Doc Watson connects there too in lyrical content)
Brian D 8:47:56 AM
Speak o....
Rofflestomp 8:48:58 AM
Wow, nice call Brian!
Ossy Hyouka 8:50:50 AM
Tan - Wow, those irritating groundhog like monsters, Rocky Wrenches are actually Koopas and they're indeed separate, but related species of Monty Moles. https://www.mariowiki.com/Rocky_Wrench
Brian D 8:51:05 AM
Tim O'Brien told a great Doc Watson story at the Bluegrass fests. Nutshell, Tim went to Doc's house and was wondering where he was after being greeted. Doc's wife just casually said, "Oh he's up on the roof trying to fix the t.v. aerial... " ( for context: Doc was blind since childhood and in his 70s or 80s at the time)
Krista (host) 8:51:22 AM
lol, my computer wanted Groundhog again

World is the best Mario game and no one can change my mind about that
Rob Base & DJ E-Z Mok 8:54:57 AM
Mario Sunshine blew my mind on Gamecube
Krista (host) 8:55:30 AM
super mario land for gameboy was hard!! in order to defeat it you were also running against battery because it had no saves
Brian D 8:56:07 AM
I think it was same story... Doc said he had a guitar he wanted to give to Tim. Be right back ... and Doc climbs up in the attic and roots around ... comes back, presents Tim w a guitar. Tim starts to play it... Doc says, "oh.. I done grabbed the wrong gittar... hold on... Be right back.." Just a small sample of the great Doc stories
jimboo 8:57:14 AM
I can attest to groundhog climbing ability...have seen them in trees and they also climbed a fire escape and mowed down hundreds of veggie seedlings.
Krista (host) 8:57:49 AM
they are real pests in the garden! my husband dug a fence down about 3 feet and we put chicken wire down the trench
Krista (host) 8:58:21 AM
they won't dig further down than that.
Ossy Hyouka 8:58:22 AM
Krista - I finished Mario 3, long long ago in the middle school days, never gone that far in Mario 2. Mario Land was short, but fun and Mario Land 3 ft Wario was intense, with all the treasure hunting. Same also with Super Mario World
Ossy Hyouka 8:59:20 AM
Super Mario Galaxy is astronomical fun, and the ending is really sad!
Rofflestomp 8:59:47 AM
Bill Murry has notorious Groundhog issues, well documented in a couple of films.
Krista (host) 9:00:27 AM

It even has a cookie crumble on it, I'm in heaven
Krista (host) 9:39:47 AM

fun fact about Hikaru Nishida: she participated in a chorus with other children in Stevie Wonder's song "Ai no, Sono" on his album Stevie Wonder's Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants".[
Mike Lupica 9:40:09 AM
IS IT FILLED... WITH EXISTENTIAL DREAD?
DJPUP 9:40:49 AM
Nope its an ol ring donut
Krista (host) 9:41:02 AM
that sounds like a gross donut, ngl, it's all filled with celery strings and morning breath
