Original subtitles

(gentle music)

- The circle of life, the food chain,

predator and prey on equal footing

in the cycle of consumption.

Only the strong survive, yet nature always prevails.

Entire ecosystems dictated by diet.

Entire planets dictated by endless renewal.

Not always tasty, but always necessary for survival.

That looks like it hurts.

Ouch.

But does it?

Not in the opinion of this writer.

None will survive, but many will spawn,

sire, reproduce, screw, doggystyle.

Humans are the only species that don't always do doggystyle.

A chimpanzee devoured by ants, which if you'll recall,

was the first animal depicted in this diagram.

It's poetry really. Violence.

It's harmony.

(rock music)

"Improbably Poppy."

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Improbably Poppy."

I'm Poppy. (dramatic music)

While we're still alive, we've decided to go on a tour

of one of Hollywood's most beloved prop houses.

Shall we?

- Hi. - [Poppy] Hi.

- I'm Hayden.

- I'm Poppy. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- ISS, we're really here.

Is it okay if I call it ISIS?

- I'd rather you didn't. (chuckles)

- A hallway.

- This is, yep, this is one of the many hallways.

So yeah, all the posters are shows

that we've been a part of.

So we've supplied the props for 'em or made props for 'em.

Fake labels so you don't have to deal with the clearance.

So stunt dummies, (percussive music)

these guys get burned all the time.

These are the ones that are in cars

that drive off cliffs and explode.

- Yeah, this one just looks like my friend Milton.

- Naked. - It's boobs are out.

That's a woman.

Are you ever concerned they might wake up after dark?

- I was terrified of this place as a kid.

- Were you an necrophiliac?

- I don't think so, no.

- What else do we have for bodies?

- Well- - Oh no!

He really went through it.

- Got some animals, (jazz music)

some dead animal stuff. - Oh yeah.

Let's look at the animals.

- Some creepy- - It's like going to the zoo,

but they're all dead.

Can I hold it?

- Yeah, you can.

- I recognize this one from "Babe: Pig in Big City."

Oh, we're moving on to my favorite part. (laughs)

All right, now I feel safer. - Safe and sound.

- How many innocent characters do you think have died

because of your business?

- Here's kind of like the basic babies.

The higher quality- - You hear that?

Basic babies.

- [Hayden] Yeah, basic. That's a good one.

- [Poppy] Where's our most expensive baby?

- This guy right here.

Yeah, that's like a $12,000 baby.

- I don't think I want one of those.

- No. - That one's

definitely the cheapest.

Oh, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- [Poppy] Can we try some?

- [Hayden] Yeah, anytime you want.

- Hayden, put your hands behind your back.

- Oh (beep). - Come on boys, we got 'em.

One time, I did some fencing.

- [Hayden] Nice, me too in high school.

- I just did it on a Groupon.

So when can we get into the action?

- The guns?

- Yeah.

- Well, you're not a felon, right?

(gun firing)

Yeah. (laughs)

All right, so, (rock music)

this is our our blank fire test range,

and this is what we'll have you shoot.

We'll go a couple shots semi-auto,

and then let you rip the rest of the magazine in full auto.

- Excellent. - Fire in the hole!

(gun firing)

Let 'er rip.

Have you ever chambered a MP5?

(gun clicks) Fire in the hole!

(gun firing)

- Thank you for the tour.

- Of course, anytime.

Thanks for coming. - I appreciate it.

What a great place to end off, the gun range.

Now, back to me.

(pop music)

(hinge squeaks)

Taking risks can be fun and scary and sometimes neither.

Just ask a gambling addict

what they love about losing money on a regular basis,

and they'll tell you it's the thrill of the risk.

In many instances, taking risks can cost you everything,

including your reputation and credibility,

which makes my next guest all the more brave.

Please welcome Spencer, a flat earther.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Should I sit or? (laughs)

- We just need to follow a few safety

regulations first. - Sure.

- Boys?

- Hey guys.

(wood knocking)

- Oh, oh, what? (laughs) (suspenseful music)

Wait, what, what is this?

Okay, whoa!

- I won't start until I know you're comfortable.

- Okay.

- You're sweating.

- Yeah, I mean, I, yeah,

I don't know why you did this.

I thought this was like a-

- It's safer for all of us.

Anyway, do you have any research that you've done?

- I have a ton of research.

Actually, if, if you go on a plane,

I, I haven't been in a plane,

but if you went on a plane,

you could see there's no curve.

It's flat, there's actually ice walls

if you go to Antarctica, 150' tall.

There's the Great Abyssal Sea, which is like an endless.

I have like a paid subscription membership you can get

and gives you access.

If you just look into it, just look it up.

Globecucks, all you have to do is look it up.

Once you get past the walls of Asgard, there's,

there's actually Valhalla, it's real.

- Spencer. I think you talk too much.

- Okay.

- Well, I have to go to another room to do something.

Could you please excuse me?

- Yeah, I can get out for the time being, or?

Are we done?

(guillotine sliding)

- Think they're ever gonna find out?

- Find out what, Poppy?

(eerie music) (wood squeaking)

- [Puppets] One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us!

- We love you, mom.

- I'm Poppy.

(electronic music) (static buzzing)

Hi, everyone.

I'm here with my good friend Basil.

- [Basil] Hi, Poppy.

- What's new?

- [Basil] I just got back from my cousin's son's bris.

They live streamed it,

so I got to watch backstage before this interview.

- That's nice, so what's photosynthesis like?

- [Basil] It's fun at first,

but the novelty wears off quick.

- I see.

Um, what's photosynthesis like?

- [Basil] It's fun at first,

but the novelty wears off quick.

- I see.

Looks like that was my only question.

Is there anything else you wanted to share

before we end this interview?

- [Basil] My flowers (eerie music)

haven't been pruned in weeks,

which means my leaves have gone bitter,

and there's no going back from that.

So I can only ask you this, Poppy,

what use am I now?

No one wants bitter pesto.

- Oh.

- Everything good?

Vibe's okay in here?

- All good here.

- [Basil] They're great!

Thank you for asking.

- That guy was so nice. - He was so nice, wasn't he?

- He was so nice.

- [Basil] Jinx!

God, we are so cute.

- I love us.

(upbeat music) (audience applauding)

(Poppy vocalizing)

(waves splashing)

Well, as promised, we made it to the LA Zoo.

The theme of today's episode was nature,

and nothing says nature more than the beautiful LA Zoo.

Is that nature?

Let's go see what that is.

Is this the Gathering of the Juggalos?

What is a clown's natural setting?

- Circus, outside of used car lots,

you know, van. (suspenseful music)

- Does it feel isolating to be trapped at a zoo all day?

(clown retches)

(horn honks)

- [Clown] (laughs) It's a poppy!

- Oh, it looks like there's something else

that's going on over here.

Oh, wow.

(birds tweeting)

I just love looking at nature.

(elephant trumpets)

(animals hooting and baying)

(stick whipping)

(chimpanzee hooting)

I wonder if it's dangerous to be this close.

(animals growling)

- [Masked Group] Aah!

(clown vocalizing)

- I love nature. - Poppy,

ring around the rosie!

- Now die.

- [Masked Figure] Wha? (winces)

- Nature is a beautiful thing. (birds tweeting)

(wind rushing)

Today was a lot for me, emotionally and financially.

But hey, you win some, you learn some.

- And you made some new friends along the way!

- Do you think you like them more or they like you more?

- Both, but too much.

That's why we had to put them down.

Ain't nature a bitch?

Speaking of, you wanna hear a new song?

- Did you mean speaking of nature

or speaking of bitches?

- Dealer's choice.

So what do you say, gang?

- Could you, please?

- Well, Zwink, you must be a comedian. (laughs)

I was literally about to.
