      Where would whales get access to waterproof recording equipment?

      It’s insane to think they have some kind of deep sea electronics manufacturing capacity and I’m shocked you would even suggest something so ridiculous.

        Who said anything about that?!?

        It’s pretty OBVIOUS that they would go into a land-based recording studio with studio musicians, and lay down some tracks.

        I mean… do you really think I’m that fucking stupid?!?!

          Ah, of course they would. That makes so much sense.

          That’s why it’s called a whaleway station, that’s how they’re getting there.

          Thanks for setting me straight
