Sidedoor (S13) – trailer final web transcript

1
00:00:00.097 --> 00:00:05.724
<v Lizzie Peabody>Hey there Sidedoorables, we're back! Season 13 is just a week away—cue the trumpets!

2
00:00:05.764 --> 00:00:07.597
[Elephant trumpets]

3
00:00:07.637 --> 00:00:10.899
<v Robbie>That's her way of saying she wants her food.

4
00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:17.341
<v Lizzie>This season we get to meet the Smithsonian's newest celebrity—all 900 lbs of her!

5
00:00:17.381 --> 00:00:19.434
<v Lizzie>Oh my gosh, she's a little chonker! [laughs]

6
00:00:19.474 --> 00:00:21.463
<v Erin>She's a little chonker.

7
00:00:21.503 --> 00:00:30.205
<v Lizzie>We'll learn what happened after National Zoo's new baby elephant, Linh Mai, was rejected by her mother—and how a pile of poo helped save the day.

8
00:00:30.245 --> 00:00:37.750
<v Sally>So we decided to, what I call, kind of put out the poop signal like a bat signal, and say, "Who can help us?"

9
00:00:37.790 --> 00:00:41.859
<v Lizzie>And while the zoo searched for poop, we went looking for the things that eat it.

10
00:00:41.899 --> 00:00:46.579
<v Frank Krell>We are going over there and checking out a poop trap.

11
00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:48.907
<v Lizzie>I don't know what I pictured, but it wasn't this.

12
00:00:48.947 --> 00:00:59.762
<v Lizzie>We hunt down dung beetles in the wild, and then open the vaults of the Smithsonian to see thousands more beetles—an insect that makes up a quarter of all animal life on Earth.

13
00:00:59.802 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Lizzie>And we'll continue the celebration of the nation's 250th on a wild ride as we track down the real story of the Declaration of Independence.

14
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:16.770
<v Michael Auslin>Well, not only was the declaration not signed on the Fourth of July, the parchment that we now revere in the National Archives didn't exist on the Fourth of July.

15
00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:33.026
<v Lizzie>We're in hot pursuit of the truth as we trace the founding document's twisty-turny journey through history. We've got music and dancing, mysteries of history—maybe even the world's fastest plane. And did I mention poop? I did? Good.

16
00:01:33.066 --> 00:01:37.895
<v Lizzie>Join us next week for Sidedoor Season 13, wherever you get your podcasts.
