Summary
Hey all, not feeling very well this week so I was not able to record this week's episode. To make up for it, I wanted to release one of the Patreon episodes in full, just so you have something to listen to this week, and you can get a glance into what sorts of things we learn about every week on there!
Love y'all :)

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome back to relax with animal facts. I am Steph Wolf and today I am going |
| 0:12.8 | to be busting some animal myths with you about our furry, scaly or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's case, it is going to be about |
| 0:24.0 | a scaly friend of ours, because we are covering a myth about the oh so wonderful goldfish. |
| 0:32.1 | This episode is dedicated to you. I thank you so much for your generosity in supporting the show on Patreon, |
| 0:39.9 | and I am so happy to have you join me on some more adventures as we learn together. A shout |
| 0:46.5 | out to George Vlad for the ambiance used in today's episode as well. I wanted to start this series |
| 0:53.5 | because there are so many animal myths out there. Some are |
| 0:58.3 | more charming than others, but I am super excited to learn about today's myth. I have three primary |
| 1:05.9 | exhortations for you. The first is that you put on some sandals or flip-flops. We only need those for where we are |
| 1:14.4 | going today. And my second encouragement to you is to realize perhaps where you are carrying some |

| 1:43.7 | as you go up to the top of the head. |
| 1:46.5 | As you guys know, on this show, we become jello. I did not mean for that to rhyme, but it came out |
| 1:53.8 | that way. My last exhortation to you is that you give your mind permission to wander and journey with me as we go into the past |
| 2:03.7 | in some ornamental garden ponds in China where the goldfish resides. The |
| 2:20.3 | The There are not many opportunities for one to travel in the past, but one of the special things about our show is that we can do that whenever we want. |
| 2:53.1 | The reason why we have come to this beautiful ornamental garden in China is because this is where the goldfish was first domesticated. |
| 3:04.1 | They were initially bred from wild carp, and we have them to thank for their |
| 3:10.4 | modern form. The myth we are learning about today is the one that says goldfish have only a three |
