Subscribe and leave a review on the potty. Every time you do, Rog has to give $1 to Labour. Moles dominates these stories around about this time. They're either about the D, the downstairs, or the ass. And this is called A Tale From The South. If you have just joined us. And we had a beauty yesterday. Another one today. It's Tales From The South. I'm not talking about Southland.
I'm talking about your butthole. So he hid it. And one place he knew he could hide something is ass.
Now, you might have heard before six the replay yesterday. Good morning, Bryce. Bryce wanted to know about this unusual case. And I said, wait, we're not going to do it all at once.
No, of course not.
Today is the moment. Venice.
Yeah.
The Canal City. Been there. Yeah, it's all right. It's a bit hyped.
What is the story behind the cannibalistic comb jelly with a disappearing anus?
Yeah. Heaps of flying rats. Oh, are there bats everywhere? Nah, not bats. Literally flying rats. They're pigeon things. Oh, gotcha. Yeah, they're just everywhere. And a tourist trap. Expensive. Stinks. Also, it has an unusual aquatic invasion happening at the moment. The cannibalistic jellyfish with a vanishing anus. A disappearing anus. I've never heard of the smells. It's gone. It's got some sort of Latin official name. I can't say it properly. But it's also commonly known as the... What? The warty comb jelly. Or, like me at the beach, the sea walnut. What's that over there? That's Malzi, the sea walnut. What a great description. Because I had what was called a warty, a goblin wart cut off my neck a couple of weeks ago.
Honestly, on land. I've tried to forget about it. Disgusting. It's healed up nicely. Yeah, thanks, but it's disappeared, like the story. Yes, it has, actually. Look, it's not great. It's ranked among the 100 most dangerous invasive species in the world. Okay, so they're eating each other, and then their ass disappears. Talk me through it. I want to know about the disappearing ass. Oh, okay. Well, what happens is, basically, it... When food becomes scarce, its environment, the adult comb jellies, desperately prey upon their own larvae. They essentially treat their own offspring as nutrient to survive harsh conditions. It's the only known animal in the world with a transient anus. Most of the time, it has no rear opening, guys.
But when waste accumulates, a portion of its gut balloons outward, a lot like me on a few beers, and sort of fuses with the outer skin, the epidermis, to puncture a temporary hole. Makes its own ass. Once, a lot like Rog at 9.30 after his eight coffees, once defecation finishes, the opening completely seals back up and vanishes without a trace. Perfect. This has been one of your best stories. The adult jellyfish, and I appreciate that, Rog, the adult performs this vanishing act roughly once an hour.
Remarkable. Once an hour?
You wouldn't want food poisoning with a disappearing penis. Nah. You don't want that gastro. Is this why? Yeah, because, Mosey, you're the only adult that we know that has a disappearing penis. Well, it hasn't come back. It's disappeared. Okay. Then on the other side of that, Rog has one that appears every hour. On the hour. Every hour. There's a lot in common that we have with this jellyfish mouth. We actually have a bamboo cane in the studio that we have to whack Rog with. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. Bryce, I was actually in Perth. I went on holiday. You were in Queensland on holiday. Noosa. Noosa on holiday.
Yeah.
And we're sort of there at the same time in Australia. And I saw this news story break and I was like, oh my God, this news story is breaking where you are, where your family is. Also, Doesn't it sum up, Rog, that on holiday he watches the news? Who watches the news on holiday? I think because it was such... No one watches the news on holiday. I'll be honest, I watch a little bit of the news too. I like to keep abreast. It's just wonderful after you're watching The Chase. And then I'm into, there's Hilary Barry and Jerry. Well, Jerry was away and there was some other guy and I can't remember his name, but he did a great job while Jerry was away. This story broke and I thought, oh my God, this is massive news.
