Okay, I'm gonna check this trap here. I see something moving in there. What the hell is that? Something's growling. It's like this deep—okay, ah, there's something in there. I have a feeling I know exactly what it is. I think there's an electric eel in there.

Right there! Do you see that?

I got a slithering eel in there. Electric eels can produce a shocking jolt of over 650 volts. It's just like sticking your finger right into a light socket. It's an adaptation the eels have for hunting prey, navigating in murky water, and self-defense.

Okay, get out of there! Ah, look at that! That is an electric eel. Do you hear that? That's crazy!

Okay, come on, go back in the water! Go back in the water! They're very mysterious, very ugly, but an amazing animal. Their whole bodies are just full of fat—like hardly any muscle at all. And, um, yeah, as far as eating them goes, there are very few tribes that eat them.

I have tried them myself—they're just like lard, goo, gelatin. Yeah, it's not nice. Not nice. Thankfully, the eel isn't the only fish caught in the trap. The catfish is alive, but it can't move because it's been stunned by that eel. Basically, they were trapped together.

Oh man, big meaty fish!

Why do planets orbit? (With Dan Burns)

The explanation for gravity is that matter bends space. And so, you put mass in a place in space; it warps SpaceTime. Objects are not feeling a force of gravity; they’re just following the natural curvature. Um, and so you put matter and it warps SpaceT…
