Episode 037: Margaret Cho & Jamie Kaler

==Description==
Dolphins and music and sports, oh my! It’s a brand new episode of Go Fact Yourself!
Margaret Cho is a comedian and actress, known for her role in “30 Rock” as Kim Jong-il, for which she received an Emmy nomination. Margaret is also heavily tattooed, but she’ll explain why she’s ready to slow down the body art now that she only has space on her bodies that would be painful. You can find her tour schedule on her website. Margaret was also a guest expert on Episode 32 of Go Fact Yourself for the topic of The TV show 30 Rock!
Margaret will face off against fellow comedian and actor Jamie Kaler! He rose to prominence for his role in the TBS series “My Boys.” He’s also a former Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. He’ll explain why the punctuality he developed as a Navy man was a poor preparation for a career in Hollywood. Jamie can be found in the YouTube series “Dads in Parks” and the “Father Time” podcast
Our guests will reminisce about their careers and answer trivia questions about marine life, basketball and celebrities from the ‘80s and ‘90s.

===What's the Difference?===
Something fishy 
====Seal vs Sea Lion ====
Both seals and sea lions are part of a group of animals called pinnipeds. There are a number of anatomical differences between the two but the main differences have to do with their ears and how they move on land. Sea lions have external ears (the little flaps), and they walk on land using their flippers. Seals do not have external ears (just a small hole on the side of their head), and they cannot use their flippers to move on land, so they just wiggle!
====Dolphin vs Porpoise ====
The differences can be seen in the parts they stick out of the water; their mouths and fins. Dolphins usually have a longer snout and they always have cone-shaped teeth. Porpoises have a shorter snout and spade-shaped teeth. Dolphins have a gracefully swept back, prominent dorsal fin while porpoises have smaller more straight-edged triangular dorsal fins and some have no dorsal fin at all. Also dolphins tend to be leaner while porpoises tend to be thicker.
