SPEAKER_04

Not meth.

SPEAKER_00

Even if it is meth, uh do something that you love because uh what I hate is when people are like totally sober and you can tell like they fucking hate their lives because uh you can't do anything. Like what do adults do? Like if you're gonna meet up with someone, like where do you go?

SPEAKER_04

Well, there's so many mocktails nowadays, but I feel like people like who are straight at the end.

SPEAKER_00

Who wants to spend$15 on a drink that's not gonna fuck you up?

SPEAKER_04

You can just have water.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, I feel but I feel like those are the people that are like super fit, right?

SPEAKER_00

Like they focus on like they do fucking CrossFit and shit, or like parkour or something.

SPEAKER_04

Like I parkour. Yeah, parkour? Yeah, it's like still a thing, isn't it? I don't know. Jump off rocks.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I've never seen anybody actually parkouring.

SPEAKER_04

Oh well I know a girl who's like goes to like parkour, like I don't know, places. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like they have meetups where they parkour like jump off of fucking picnic tables. Yep.

SPEAKER_04

So I feel like if you were straight edge, fuck. If we were straight edge, we would be super fit. What?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I was straight edged uh like in high school and shit, into college.

SPEAKER_04

Is this when you were like a bodybuilder?

SPEAKER_00

Because like well, yeah. Well, not a bodybuilder, a powerlifter. Powerlifter. Huge difference. Fuck, get it right.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, sorry.

SPEAKER_00

But no, it was uh because I didn't even drink until I like was 21.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, and you didn't do anything else before that?

SPEAKER_07

Hmm?

SPEAKER_04

You didn't like do anything else before you started drinking?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, so you were really straight edge.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You didn't smoke any weed?

SPEAKER_00

No. Not until not until I was an adult.

SPEAKER_04

When did you get into pipes?

SPEAKER_00

Like tobacco pipes? Yeah, like a real like that I was Yeah, I was 22.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. That's when you started. It was literally like down the deep. I started drinking, I started chewing, uh, started fucking smoking cigarettes, just all like I should have started earlier, but I didn't.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, probably a good thing that you didn't.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Well, so I can't say that I'm I was straight edge because uh I fornicated.

SPEAKER_06

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

That's against uh the fucking straight edge. Uh and I had I would drink caffeine.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I don't think straight edge means that you're Mormon.

SPEAKER_00

No, I think that's you have to be Mormon to be straight edge. Yeah. Uh but like fucking that's what I hate too, is like uh the whole thing, like, because me and my friend group in high school, we were like, we don't need to fucking party and get drunk and shit. Like we can like we can have fun uh just sitting around and fucking talking. Kind of like what we do here. But I mean, we do drink.

SPEAKER_04

I mean Cheers. Cheers. To not being straight edge.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, fuck being straight edge. The best though is like That's really nice though. When you I was the opposite and argued all the time. Adults with the straight edge, uh the the big thing was to get X's on your hands, like like when you're a minor, like you can't drink, you know? So you had the X's on your hands.

SPEAKER_04

I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_00

So they would get it tattooed, and then like later on in life, when they stop giving a fuck, then they're fucking drinking with like the X's on X's tattooed.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it looks like I just went to a concert.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's funny. Huh. I didn't know that. Now I'll have to look.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Let's get let's get to stones.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So um and meth no, not meth, sorry.

SPEAKER_00

Let's do meth. Oh yeah. Crystal meth. Um what is your experience with this type of uh witchery? Uh seriously. Uh gobbly gook.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. I I love stones.

SPEAKER_00

Like normally I rock like some sort of crazy like stone necklace or like big earrings or like what it is and what it does for what you have, right?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, no.

SPEAKER_00

I just forget immediately.

SPEAKER_04

They're pretty.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like, I mean, you know, like I think like amethyst or something is supposed to be for like strength or what's your birthstone? Uh a diamond.

SPEAKER_00

Oh Jesus.

SPEAKER_04

I'm an expensive bitch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh you know what mine is? The fucking the pink one.

SPEAKER_04

Citrine?

SPEAKER_00

Or no, I think sometimes it's opal.

SPEAKER_04

Oh no, that's April. April's either opal or a diamond. I don't know. Oh, wait, no, you're October. You're right. Because it can be it's it depends on which ones that you read. Isn't it amethyst and it's the purple one?

SPEAKER_00

Also, I'll say this.

SPEAKER_04

You're also colorblind. So good luck on that.

SPEAKER_00

But fucking uh looking into stuff, it is all over the place.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, there's a shop not too far from here that literally has every type of crystal. And then you can like it has like all the like beaded bracelets, which normally I wear like five of them. I'm not today.

SPEAKER_00

Um I have I have these bracelets that I got at the buckle.

SPEAKER_04

And so Oh my god, did you just say the buckle?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so uh this one actually has a cross and like a little Bible verse on it. As being a Satanist, I wear uh a bracelet that has a a Bible verse.

SPEAKER_04

That hasn't gone up in flames. Um but yes, there is a I guess the only like like real stones other than the ones that like I'll wear as like an accent piece. Um I don't know, my friend gave me little stone dicks.

SPEAKER_00

And I put What do you do with the stone dick?

SPEAKER_04

I put it in my plants.

SPEAKER_00

So like the like just like a little is it like a healing stone?

SPEAKER_04

Uh maybe.

SPEAKER_00

And it helps the plants heal. Yeah, it helps them grow. Gets them hard.

SPEAKER_04

It does. I did just get a new bud. Um but yeah, so that's really what I have, other than my bracelets, which I tr I mean, I guess I kind of try to learn what they mean, and then I forget.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, exactly. That's that's my thing is I need it like written down somewhere. Yeah, like well, and you can't even because when you look up stuff, it is different for like because I was looking up like uh what ones for money. And no joke, if you're gonna mention Yeah, like if you Google it, all of them. Oh, well, you like it's literally all of them.

SPEAKER_04

Because it's just some stoned hippie being like, this stone means.

SPEAKER_05

I know.

SPEAKER_04

Well, that's weird.

SPEAKER_05

Anyways.

SPEAKER_04

Um, but yeah, so it's like gotta be just like a stoned hippie making up all things.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah, like all of like I swear, like most most of the what is this? New age, I guess, right? Most of this type of shit is unfounded, uh completely made up bullshittery.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, it's for like people who are having a hard time through life, and they're like, I'm gonna meditate, and that should help me not want to murder someone.

SPEAKER_00

Go to a bar which I should put and drink.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Stop fucking buying. I spent a bunch of money on fucking rocks.

SPEAKER_02

I told them not to.

SPEAKER_00

But I I wanted to do it for this, so we'll get into this later. But preview I spent a bunch of money on fucking rocks so that we can test it.

SPEAKER_04

We're testing.

SPEAKER_00

But we gotta do our homework. We have to eat our meat before we get the pudding.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. That sounds highly inappropriate.

SPEAKER_00

I think that I saw that on something.

SPEAKER_04

All right, let's never yell that.

SPEAKER_00

So some of the information, some of the history, our meat for this episode. Um, like literally for as long as humans have been around, we we have had jewelry, uh like things. Like for some reason that's it's almost like in our like DNA is to like collect things. Yeah, like make like trinkets, make uh things, you know? Mm-hmm. So it's it's literally been around. Um what is it? Some of the earliest uh they found beads carved from a mammoth tusk in Russia that dates back 60,000 years ago.

SPEAKER_04

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And they found uh beads made out of like sharks' teeth and shit, like fossilized sharks' teeth.

SPEAKER_04

Oh yeah. I mean, but I feel like like even the Native Americans, right? They would make like all sorts of things out of like the chest pieces and all that like decor for like ceremonies out of ribs and so some of the oldest uh amulets, like a a a big thing, you know, like a like not a bead.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like because a bead takes multiple things. So an amulet, I believe, is like a a bigger, like a big stone.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's what that's what I like to wear.

SPEAKER_00

Uh one of them came out of uh Baltic amber.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I love amber.

SPEAKER_00

That uh dates back to some 30,000 years ago.

SPEAKER_04

Um did it have like a fossilized you can find them with like fossilized like mosquitoes and stuff in them.

SPEAKER_00

Those are fake. You know that?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, maybe some of them are.

SPEAKER_00

Any any one that you see is most likely fake.

SPEAKER_06

What?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

No.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. I I guarantee like any one that we will see in our lifetime uh is fake. Because the the real ones, I'm sure, are like in like the fucking the archives of like the Smithsonian. Like we're not gonna like see one in fucking real life.

SPEAKER_04

And they're like super expensive if they're real.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It's not like fucking Jurassic Park where they just fucking find one and I mean you're probably right. Okay. Um, so let's also there there's also bracelets and uh necklaces and other type of like jewelry made out of gems and stones and all this uh that date back uh like 4,000 BC that we have found.

SPEAKER_04

That is so crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Let's see. Uh there's also uh ancient Egypt.

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm. They love their stones.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they gems. Yeah, they had all sorts of uh they're known for like ruby, right? Yeah, like extravagant uh and gold. Yeah, one would call gaudy. But like, you know, like they were definitely like a fucking like an Italian woman.

SPEAKER_04

Like reality shows.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like Oh, I need my regular carrot. Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They had to like show off.

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

They were boasters, but they also they also did a lot of like uh protection stuff. So it wasn't just like showing off like uh they did like healing stones and like fucking protect from bad vibes or whatever.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, I get that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I hope all of mine do, even if it didn't say it.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so also ancient Greeks did, and the word crystal comes from the Greek word for Crystal. No.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Ice. Ice baby. Doom doom doom ding doom. Doom doing doom doom.

SPEAKER_04

Well, is that because the diamonds looked like ice?

SPEAKER_00

Well, but I think like like a a crystal, like rose quartz or you know, like it looks kinda because it's like filmy a little bit. Yeah, like it's like opaque.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, okay. I like it.

SPEAKER_00

You know? The word uh amethyst.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, just talked about that.

SPEAKER_00

Uh means not drunken. Oh it was worn as an amulet to prevent drunkenness and hangovers.

SPEAKER_04

Huh. I should be wearing that every day.

SPEAKER_00

No, see, I want I want the drunkenness.

SPEAKER_04

I don't want the hangover.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So do you just drink and then you put it on when you're done?

SPEAKER_00

Oh that I don't know how what's the science on this? How does that work?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

We'll have to test it out.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I have a big Anatist necklace that I just got. I'm really excited about it.

SPEAKER_00

Jeez. Uh also, uh Chinesees.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, what did they do? They had like beads.

SPEAKER_00

Well, so the they were uh heavily into jade for a long time. Yeah. Like, yeah, we've we've all seen like the little statues and all that, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Um I do love jade. I have a couple of jade pieces.

SPEAKER_00

There was a show about, I think it was like fucking called Jade Hunters.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

And it's like they're in like Alaska.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I think it's like isn't it really hard to like come by now or something? I don't even know.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if it's hard to come by. I think it's just hard to get to because it's mostly.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um and so like up there, it's a very short season to get it. And then you don't know the quality of it until you cut it. So it's always like a huge gamble for them because it it looks like just a fucking rock, like a big boulder. They're like, ah, it's probably Jade in there. And then they try and sell it for like millions, hoping that it's really good quality, and then it ends up almost all the time not being.

SPEAKER_04

So I wonder, like, um, and I I guess, well, there's a few that probably still have them, but for a while, every time I would go and get my nails done from like a you know, Vietnamese salon or whatever, they always had these like jade bracelets. Just a jade circle bracelet. Bangle. Yeah, bangle. And it was be so tight that I'm like they put it on when they were children. Seriously, I'm not even kidding. So I asked, like, how long have you had that on? And one lady, she's like, Oh, like 20 years. I never take it off. I'm like, well, she couldn't take it off.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you have to either break it or smash your hand.

SPEAKER_04

Or yeah, like completely smash your hand. It was it's just I like I was just like, What? There's no way you would ever be able to get that off. You would have to lube up your hand and your wrist.

SPEAKER_00

Well, even then, it can only go so much.

SPEAKER_04

I think they just break their.

SPEAKER_00

Like when I put it in my in my butt.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And then you and then it comes out. But seriously, like how I mean it's like foot binding, right? You'd have to like bind your hand for a while to be able to get it.

SPEAKER_00

Why is that? It's always like Why was that a thing? Why is it always like Asian culture of like torture?

SPEAKER_04

No, because remember it was like Ethiopia that had like the neck rings.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And then they would stretch their necks, but then you couldn't, like, they could never take them off because they have to be a big thing. Yeah, otherwise their head would like fucking fall. Oh, they'd snap their neck. I remember watching like a documentary on that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Amazing. And it's still practice, but I don't think near as much. I think they've found awful. Uh like the health benefits of it.

SPEAKER_04

It's a bunch of bullshit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like they just made it up.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like fucking rocks.

SPEAKER_04

And like what guy was like, that's hot? How many rings do you have on your neck? Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00

Like guys are weird. The like it takes almost nothing for a guy to get a boner. So it's like, Jesus.

SPEAKER_02

I was watching a stretched-out giraffe lady would be like super hot.

SPEAKER_00

Or no, yeah, you have HVO Max.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

From you. Because it's mine. Uh but there's look up the the murders of uh glitter. What the hell did they glitter ball?

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_00

Uh it's a disco ball. It's in Louisville, Kentucky. So Louisville, like, created uh the disco ball. But they called it like something stupid, like a glitter.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Glitter ball. We'll call it a glitter ball.

SPEAKER_04

Uh what's the premise?

SPEAKER_00

It's these two gay guys that murdered someone and buried him in the basement. But like they were into like fucking everything. Like uh tying up, like fucking waterboarding, like uh being peed on. Like they were into like everything. Yeah. And meth.

SPEAKER_04

Probably.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. But no, you should watch it. It's only two like really long episodes, but like really long.

SPEAKER_04

Can't wait.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but it's really good.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. All right, I'll watch it.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so back to fucking rocks. Um, let's see. This talks about religion. Uh yeah, nobody cares about that. So during the the Renaissance.

SPEAKER_04

Um they had weird shit.

SPEAKER_00

So in this kind of, I believe, uh started like the using the stones for healing in like kind of modern day life, sort of, you know. Um it was actually like accepted during that time. Well, yeah, and I think it was sound.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it was uh It was like a healing thing, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think it was probably they were looking for fucking Any sort of answer.

SPEAKER_04

And I think like to like smallpox.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think the the healing stones, like that this is it.

SPEAKER_04

This is the answer.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, kinda like gave them something that they were looking for. Let's see. Let's let's get into like modern day, more now. So although uh no longer in use medically, like, because I think ancient stuff, they were like fucking rubbing rocks on people and they're like, you're healed now.

SPEAKER_04

I'll still do that shit now.

SPEAKER_00

Well, but I don't think any actual doctor like I think like a tribe had like a doctor and he was like rubbing fucking stones on people, he's like, you don't have AIDS anymore.

SPEAKER_04

You also don't have the smallpox. Yeah. And you won't affect the rest of your family as they die one month later.

SPEAKER_00

But since we're no longer medically doing that type of shit, people still believe in this fucking this shit.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, so much that even so I, you know, I work obviously in hospice. There are a few hospice agencies in town that also have a like reiki person and like do like the holistic side of it.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Which I think is great for some people. I mean, if that's truly like what your beliefs are.

SPEAKER_00

Um see, and that's but when I like I can't gasp argue with someone where it makes them feel better.

SPEAKER_04

Right. Like if this is giving you peace of mind, it's great. But if I'm gasping for air, don't rub a rock on me and tell me it's gonna be.

SPEAKER_00

Don't throw rocks in my throat if I can't breathe.

SPEAKER_04

But I'm like, seriously, give me the morphine, open up my airway, and don't let me suffer.

SPEAKER_00

Instead of crystal, give me crystal myth.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I mean, whatever it takes, but I'm like, I don't know. Again, I know a lot of people believe in that with the healing power and the Reiki when like like reading your aura and like all the things, I don't know, colors or something, whatever.

SPEAKER_00

That's have I told you that for the last like few years I've been watching like uh like Indian, like not our Indian, but uh from India. Uh the Reiki uh head massages.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, no.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, oh it's so relaxing. It's like ASMR. Like I love ASMR stuff. But these guys, and it's so funny because they like beat the shit out of like they're like fucking doing this shit.

SPEAKER_04

Like as a head massage? That sounds terrible.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I like it.

SPEAKER_04

You've had one done?

SPEAKER_00

No, I mean I like watching it. Oh, I mean, watching it. There's no way that I can, like, not with this hair.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god. Can no, that's like I couldn't. I'm never that girl that's like, rub your fingers through my hair. Okay, immediately stuck. Like, no, like flies get stuck in my hair for like at least like 30 minutes.

SPEAKER_00

Like a a rose bush.

SPEAKER_04

It's so bad.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it's really terrible.

SPEAKER_00

Um, but so there's also Native American, indigenous people, obviously. And so in the I guess desert, like we talked about like Navajo and stuff. It's always turquoise.

SPEAKER_06

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Uh with like the desert.

SPEAKER_05

Is it found?

SPEAKER_06

Turquoise?

SPEAKER_05

In the desert?

SPEAKER_04

Like Arizona.

SPEAKER_00

Isn't it? We should go and try to find it.

SPEAKER_04

I went to a couple of years ago, I went to Tucson, um, where one of my friends uh that's where her family lives, and we went to oh, it was really cool. It was like, I think one of the oldest Catholic churches in the United States, if not the oldest, it was Sun Hobby or Mission.

SPEAKER_00

In Arizona?

SPEAKER_04

Tucson.

SPEAKER_00

I highly doubt that.

SPEAKER_04

Well, and I said in the United States.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Okay, well, maybe Where did we start in the United States? Fucking Plymouth Rock.

SPEAKER_04

Well, whatever. That they built. I don't know what the story was, but when you when you like you could go there in the morning or whatever and like tour it, and it was crazy. It was awesome.

SPEAKER_00

Was it in like the middle of the city?

SPEAKER_04

It was in the middle of the desert.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, really? And then See, have you ever been to the Alamo in San Antonio?

SPEAKER_04

Not the Alamo. What's the other one in Tucson? Where they do the Westerns? Oh, because I went to that one.

SPEAKER_00

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Um But I was gonna say the Three Amigos was filmed there.

SPEAKER_00

Oh like a Dude Ranch thing or whatever?

SPEAKER_04

No, it was it's like famous.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

But when you would leave the tour, that's when like all of the it was like a flea market, right? All the like indigenous, like whatever people were there.

SPEAKER_00

Fucking scam shit.

SPEAKER_04

No, like there the turquoise was so beautiful and so cheap. Like, because it's just there's an abundance of it. I got some of the coolest pieces of turquoise I've ever seen in my life.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I know I when I lived in uh El Paso, there was a so many fucking like turquoise like dealers around, and I never stopped. I should have.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my gosh, seriously.

SPEAKER_00

Never even fucking looked.

SPEAKER_04

It was cool. There was like rock stores everywhere.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. The fucking the Alamo, like how you said it was out in the middle, nowhere in the desert. Yeah. So I thought that the Alamo, like, uh like picture the battle of the Alamo, right?

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

It was what, 10,000 uh Mexican soldiers against like 300 American soldiers.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I thought it would you'd have to drive down like a fucking dirt road out in the middle of the fucking desert. No, it's literally downtown San Antonio.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I mean, there wasn't all those places around there.

SPEAKER_00

No. Well, yeah. Now there's like the river walk where you just get fucking shit faced.

SPEAKER_04

No, I'm like, are you sure this wasn't just a place called the Alamo and it was a bar?

SPEAKER_00

No, it's the actual Alamo. Ozzy Osborne pissed on it.

SPEAKER_04

Is this the one that's in Period's Big Adventure?

SPEAKER_00

Uh I have a confession.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, if you tell me that you have never seen that.

SPEAKER_00

I have not. I know I've started it like Oh, we're gonna watch it. I think it was like I went to watch it as a kid, and my mom was like, oh, this is not something you should watch.

SPEAKER_04

Why?

SPEAKER_00

Because my mom was an insane person.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god. I watched it like every single day for at least two years of my life.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if she's a homophobe wanted a pee-wee pee-wee doll for Christmas.

SPEAKER_04

And he got cherry instead and was pissed.

SPEAKER_00

What's cherry?

SPEAKER_04

Cherry was the chair that would talk.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, a chair.

SPEAKER_04

Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

I'm dumb.

SPEAKER_04

We'll watch it one of these days.

SPEAKER_00

So, yeah, so uh turquoise uh was very precious to like Native Americans. Like it was uh like a protector stone. Uh oh good.

SPEAKER_04

I'm glad I got a lot of it. But then I think like the northern right tribal natives, they would like use um right, maze. They would dye like pieces of like bone and like things like that, and like corn. And so they would use the different colors of the maze to like I mean, they must have used some sort of way to break it down. That's what I hate about like the desert had like yeah, they had like all this fucking cool shit. And then we're like scalping views.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we had like fucking feathers. That was all that we had.

SPEAKER_04

Rabbit teeth.
