Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Still dangerous. Vans honey Cut thebest hitter, I think, the best
overall player for North Carolina at theplate with a chance to win the first
game here, and it's a doubleelimination tournament. Winning the first game goes,
I mean it drastically improves your chancesof making it into next week.
And oh, it's a rope there. It is Vance Honeycut with a single

(00:22):
with two outs in the bottom ofthe ninth inning. Wow, wins.
It walks it off for North Carolinato come from behind victory. They were
down two to one, scored thetying run I think it was in the
sixth or the seventh inning, andthen Virginia just couldn't get out of the
jam and they end up walking itoff. North Carolina into the winters bracket.
Virginia and Omaha Native they're head coachwhat's his name, I've already forgotten,

(00:47):
Virginia baseball coach, but he BrianO'Connor. He's the guy who's from
Omaha, Frian O'Connor. So he'sbacks against the wall. Of course,
we don't know who they'll play,but yeah, North Carolin, I know,
victorious. First first game of theWorld Series, a good, good
game though. Yeah game Vance Honeycut, Now that's a Southern man's name right
there. Where is he from?You do recont on that Vance Honeycut because

(01:11):
he also, I think walked itoff to get them into the College World
Series. That's the first time theyhave won via walkoff ever in the men's
College World Series. By the way, Wow, he's from Salsbury, North
Carolina. Is yeah, they say, I bet they pronounce it Salisbury.
He's down there from Salisbury, NorthCarolina. I've been to Salisbury, North
Carolina. Really. Yeah, it'slike forty five minutes from Charlotte. Cool.

(01:34):
That's where every year they do theBroadcasters, Sports Broadcasters and Sports Writers
Hall of Fame ceremonies. So uhyeah, I took a took a bus
or a little van ride to Salisbury. But how about Vance Honeycut? Yeah,
and I think, like I said, I think he had the big
hit to send him to the CollegeWorld Series in the Super Regional as well.
So there you go, old ants. Congratulations to those tar Heels.

(01:59):
What to do you Friday? Forsure? So we're gonna do Friday four.
But before we do the Friday fourthat we're doing, you have to
give us context on why we wereinterested in doing this one this time.
The topic your four scariest animals ifyou encountered them into the wild, like
you would be most afraid to encounterin the wild. Now, why would

(02:19):
we talk about this, Well becauseof the story that came up that spawned
a long conversation a couple of daysago about snakes in general. Yeah.
The story goes, a woman inIndonesia went for a walk. She didn't
come back. Her husband went tolook for found her inside a sixteen foot
reticulated python. That's not a smallboy there. Yeah, she was eaten

(02:43):
whole, still had her all herclothes on and everything just wasn't living inside
that stomach's inside that snake's stomach.That is not great. I mean it's
not great, not great being likethe obviously, like a snake's gonna snake.
A sixteen foot snake who's hungry,who is perched and has the ability

(03:05):
to go after somebody like that.Yeah, sure, there you go.
That's probably gonna make a lot ofpeople's list. I think snakes in general
freak people out. And I'm gonnathe way we're gonna do this. You
gotta be specific. You can't justsay snakes, you know what I mean?
Because snakes are I mean, areyou afraid of the garter snakes is

(03:28):
in your yard? I mean,let's be honest. Push comes to show.
I want you to tell me whatsnake you're afraid of. Are you
afraid of a rattlesnake? Are youafraid of a cover that could bite you?
Are you afraid of these pythons thatit's squeezy to death and then eat
you? You know what I'm saying. Yeah, so we're thinking about that.
Before we do that, do havea phone call. Pam's on the
line four two, five, five, eight eleven ten. Hello, Pam,
what's on your mind? Well,Hi, Emory, I am calling

(03:50):
because I think the best memory Ihave of the College World Series was in
nineteen seventy seven, the Omaha WorldHerald had a drawing for kids to be
bat girls and bat boys. Ohcool, And I really didn't know that
much about baseball other than backyard baseball, and Laye was drawn, and so

(04:17):
I was. That year nineteen seventyseven was the first year they allowed air
quotes girls to be bat boys,okay, and my dad was so insistent
that my uniform, not say batboy, say that girl that he got

(04:39):
them. He convinced them to changemy uniform. And I'm pretty sure I
was the only one, at leastat Rosenblat that had that girl on the
back of her uniform. That issuch a cool, such a cool memory,
Pambla, do you have any memoriesof like some of the people and
like the job that you got todo when you're out there, like what

(05:00):
was it a busy job? Pam? Hello, are you there? Nope?
We lost Pam, Oh well,never mind, Well, Pam,
I appreciate that. That's a greatstory. I don't know if I like
I enjoyed growing up in a smalltown. I'll I'll never say I didn't,
But don't think that I wasn't superjealous of some of the kids that
lived in these bigger cities that hadopportunities to do stuff like that. I

(05:24):
mean, you want to talk abouta memory that I would have loved my
entire life. I just I truly, for for real, those are memories
that never go away. But seekingof the Collegeal series, of course,
if you're just joining us. NorthCarolina just a three two win over Virginia
the second game tonight going to betaking place is going to be Florida State

(05:46):
and Tennessee. So it's going tobe a busy, busy, busy night
over there. A couple of greatteams. Tennessee's the number one seed,
the number one ranked team coming intothat. So we'll do that and we're
going to give you our four likethe four animals that we are like gonna
be We're gonna share a Friday forFriday. Four is the scariest animals that
we would not want to encounter inthe wild. That's what we're gonna talk

(06:11):
about next. Stick around and thinkabout your list too, because we want
to hear from you on this aswell. On news Radio eleven ten Kfab
and Maurice Sung on news Radio eleventen kfab our list of the four animals
that you would least be interested inseeing in the wild, basically the four
animals that you are scared of themost if you happen to run across them.

(06:35):
And I want to be as specificas possible on this because I don't
want us to just be like snakes, spiders, you know, the typical
ones. Right. Well, MattCase, have you been working on your
list over there? I've been workingon it. Okay, so what do
you think? Go ahead and hitme. What do you got? Okay,

(06:57):
Well, first one, I'm gonnastart with. I don't know how
dangerous these guys are, right,but I definitely would be feeling some the
hibbly gibblis. Yeah, like justnot enjoying my time next to one of
these. Definitely not having a goodtime bro exactly. Yeah, that's what
I would be saying if I wasstanding next to a giant, golden crowned

(07:21):
flying fox. Doesn't that sound likesuch a wonderful name, all those words
together, giant golden crowned flying foxwith Australian foxes, right, that's Australian,
right. Yeah. I'm a hugeflying fox fan, and I showed
you videos of the flying fox arehab that I follow on YouTube. I

(07:43):
don't like them, I am inlove with them. They're five feet long,
they're large. Yeah, that IndianaJones movie when they're they're going through
I don't know if it's the Philippines, that's well, that would be where
these flying foxes are native of.We're talking about giant bats. Yeah,
and he's with the female lead Ican't remember her name. In the Indiana

(08:03):
Jones movie and she is not havinga good time seeing those giant bats.
And I'm like, I don't seethe joke here, Like, dude,
they're like little fuzzy dogs that havewings on them. Yeah, they're they
like yeah, I mean, likethey can carry some disease, but they're
not really that dangerous. You imaginethat thing just swooping around you in the

(08:26):
daylight. It they eat fruit.This is why expose yourself a little bit.
But at the same time, Imean, let's be honest, if
you see something that large with thosekinds of wings, it's gonna freak you
out. I mean, it's afreaky looking animal. It's not a threat
to me at all. It's notgonna hurt you. Yeah, not at
all. Yeah. Yeah, butyeah, I mean I suppose if you've
not seen, like, I'm overexposedto them because I follow that YouTube channel.
So that YouTube channel has done wondersfor me when it comes to,

(08:50):
uh understanding giant bats. But Iknow and I know a lot about them
as well. And and and andfor the record, when I go through
the Henry dor Ley Zoo, doyou want to see I love the bats.
Yeah, I love looking at thebats. I love looking at the
vampire bats. I think that's socool. But you see them down there
with like those little blood dishes thatthey're enjoying. But to me, it's
just, uh, you know,to me, I find it unpleasant.

(09:13):
You know. There's just certain thingsright, like the texture of styrofoam to
me, raking a fork across no. See, that's what it's like for
me. When I see bats flyingaround and making those squat noises. There
are like some nerves in my brainthat go back. I'm telling you I
have. I have some cave dwellingancestors who had some issues with bats,

(09:35):
And there's something in there that I'vehung on to throughout my lineage because it's
just something that triggers inside of me, like danger when I see a bat
flying around, because it's not likea bird. It's different. Yeah,
it's swoopy, it's more unpredictable,it's more uneven. They are definitely not
the best flyers. Yeah, Andso when I see that, I'm always
like, ah, I don't Idon't. I don't trust like that,

(09:56):
That's what I say. I don'ttrust like that. Okay, fair enough,
So the flying fox, what next. I also got a we're hopping
over from the Philippines to Indonesia forthis one. Oh boy, we're going
to the Komodo dragon, not thesnake, the Komodo dragon. The Komodo
dragon. All right, what aboutthe Kimodo's gotcha? Gotcha worried? Well?

(10:16):
Also large, right, large,very large reptile. I feel like
it kind of begins and ends forme at the fact that they do attack
humans on occasion, and they havelegs to get to you. They do,
they can, they can move towardsyou. And how about this,
sometimes they consume human corpses. Komododragons have dug up bodies buried to get

(10:39):
a meal. Oh yeah, sothat's to me, that's just you're talking
about creep factor. That's pretty highon the creep factor. How is Tim
Burton not made a movie about apsychotic Komodo dragon but somehow he's misunderstood you
know? Yeah? Yeah, exactly. Well and okay, so next up
on the list, I gotta gowith the black Widow spider. Okay,

(11:00):
yeah, I was trying to decidewhich spider because I want I don't want
just spiders, right, I didn't, So it was kind of between them,
the brown recluse and the wolf.But I settled on the on the
black widow spider because I think thatwas always the example that my mom used
growing up, when she was like, look out for black widow spiders,
you know. So that's the onethat I settled on. I just think
the idea that something that tiny thatyou can't really see could just be hiding

(11:24):
in your shoe waiting for you,you know, that's love. That's a
bit disconcerting. Yeah, yeah,brown recluse. I also watched a video
about a brown recluse spider and aguy was just handling it. It's my
buddy, Coyote Peterson. He's justgot it in his hands and he's handling
it and the spider's just wandering around, and he said, yeah, they're
just not going to be interested invitingyou unless like they feel like you're about

(11:45):
to smash them. And that mademe feel better about it, you know
what I mean. But the problemis, you know, you just don't
know where they're hiding. Sometimes.Yeah, and the I believe I've heard
this, but then I've also heardpeople say that this could be at least
almost impossible to prove that there's alwaysa spider within somewhere within five feet of
you at all times. That's justhow prevalent they are, right right.
I think that's probably a general average, not necessarily like the exact, you

(12:09):
know, like distance, but yeah, yeah, I mean that that'll and
then the the I don't know ifit's a fact or a rumor that you
eat like eight spiders a year toin your sleep. I don't know if
I believe that. I don't becauseI spray for that stuff. I don't
see him in the house, Like, how is that possible? Anyway?
Last one for you, last one. I love the superhero, but I'm
talking about the animal and this isjust this is another creep factor one.

(12:31):
Also, I saw one in thezoo once when I was younger, and
it just messed with your brain.Yeah, the black panther, the black
I think that they are beautiful giantcats. I love everything about them.
But if I was in a jungle, it would take you down at night
if it wanted you to, ifit wanted to take you down, it
could take you down. There's justand I think it's just that stark black

(12:54):
fur and those yellow eyes. It'sjust something creepy it's not about a giant
a cat like that, not alion, not a cheetah, not a
jaguar, which is so dangerous.But it's these black ones that you can't
see right, very stealth Yeah,and I just just the kind of big
cat you wouldn't want to bump intoat night. Yeah, I would take
you down, man. Yeah,okay, So what's the list? So

(13:16):
it's the Komodo dragon, the letme get back to it here, the
giant golden crowned flying fox, theblack widow spider, and the black panther.
All right, a lot of blackstuff in there, yeah, just
I basically just animals that were designedat night to be stealthy. Yeah,
you know, not great little wordfour eight. I'll give you my list.

(13:39):
We'll take your calls to four htwo, five to five, eight
eleven ten. The four animals you'rescared of seeing in the wild the most.
We'll do that next news Radio eleventen kfab. Emery Songer on news
Radio eleven ten kfab. What we'redoing on our Friday four which is the
animals you would least like to seein the wild basic? Which ones are

(14:00):
you scared of the most? Matt, you want to tell people if they're
just tuning in what your list is. Yeah, sure, I went with
you gotta have a spider on there, So the black Widow spider was the
one I chose. Also got togo with the giant golden crowned flying fox
that is a bat. Yeah.I was gonna say, like, the
name sounds so lovely and then youfind out it's an enormous bat that has

(14:22):
a five foot wingspan. Just butit's but it is. It's really cool.
I know it eats fruit. There'sa lot of cute characteristics. But
again I have my reasons. Ialso went with the Komodo dragon, right
lizard. Yeah, Komodo dragons areno no snake. But the giant,
the big old monitor lizard. Yeahthey they Kimodo dragons dig up graves and

(14:46):
eat human remains. Like that's unsetto a mess. Yeah, that's unsettling.
I would say is that three.Okay, four is a big cat
on the list. A big catthat's going to eat you at night is
the black Panther. Don't want tocome across that with the because here's the
thing. You come across that,because all you're gonna see is those two
yellow eyes just looking at you fromthe trees and you're like, oh,

(15:09):
no, I'm dead well, I'lljust try not to be appetizing, That's
all I can say. You know, you get to like some of these
other panthers, like a Florida panther, which there's not a whole lot of
them in the wild down there inFlorida still, but they do exist.
Not the hockey team, but theyou know, actual panther a little smaller.
There is a debate whether or notyou could take one, but they
just don't want to. They wantnothing to do with you, and they're

(15:30):
just like, stay away from mekind of thing, you know what I
mean. Here's my Friday for you. Ready for this number one? The
giant centipede. Oh, the giantcentipede. Look, go ahead and put
in Google right now. Giant centipedegot lots of legs. What's it going
to do to you? Though?You gotta check this thing out, dude.
And again, a millipede is theguy that's got the little tiny legs

(15:50):
and he looks kind of like aworm. A centipede likes has a hard
exoskeleton and like hard legs and alot of different segmentations that guy has a
bite that will hurt. A millipededoesn't really, A millipede doesn't care.
Like they're kind of gross and weirdlooking too, but they don't do anything
to you. They just want todig in the dirt and like live in
the dirt. These centipedes they cantake down snakes, they can take down

(16:14):
rodents. Like these things they havereal venom in them. I watch my
guy, Coyote Peterson. He oneof his things is he likes to get
bit by stuff and he'll tell youwhat it feels like. So he like
had a centiped bite him in thearm. And he's got this giant centipede
and you know, he like holdsit near his body and you can see
the things little teeth pop out andlike like grab him and pinch him.

(16:37):
And he said that was about aspainful as any bite that he had,
except for the HeLa monster, whichis another lizard. Oh. There's also
been at least one human death attributedto the venom of a giant centipede.
It was a four year old child. But you know, wow, that's
wild. Yeah. So not onlydo they look terrifying with all those hard
legs and all those segments working togetherand moving around actually pretty quick for being

(17:02):
you know, like a foot long. And they also have an insane bite.
I could do some real damage toyou. I do not want to
see like that. That would bemy worst nightmare. I just don't like
things with a ton of legs likeit just drives me nuts. That messes
with my mind, like the batsmass with your mind. Yeah. Number
two, the box jellyfish. Thatthing will kill you. Box jellyfish.

(17:23):
A box jellyfish is kind of theI was introduced to them by have you
seen the movie Seven Pounds? Well? Seven Pounds is a Will Smith movie.
It's a terrible film. I wouldnot recommend watching it. But you
know, a box jellyfish plays animportant role in the movie because they are
really really like they look kind ofbox shaped, but they are pretty clear.

(17:48):
You can't really see them very well. It's not like the SpongeBob jellyfish
that you're gonna be able to seecoming from a mile away. But they're
sting. This jellyfish sting I meanthat it can do some mass, massive,
massive damage and they can absolutely killyou if they got you in the
right spot. They pump a tonof venom into you, tons of pain.

(18:08):
Just a lot of people trying tocome up with ways that if you
run into one of those guys thatyou could be in trouble. But a
box jellyfish makes me want to neverget into the ocean ever again. You
seeing what are you looking at?I'm just looking at pictures of someone who
got messed up by a box jellyfish. Isn't it crazy? Yeah? Now,
you know how you protect yourself isyou wear like a full wetsuit and

(18:30):
usually the stain can't like get toyour skin. That's how you protect yourself.
So don't go into box jellyfish areas, which very Australia like mostly,
but you can also anywhere in thePacific Ocean you might run into them.
In fact, apparently somebody in Texason the Gulf of Mexico. Also a
child died in Texas by box jellyfish, So yeah, there you go,

(18:53):
box jellyfish. Don't mess with those. Number three, This one I think
is pretty pretty easy. And planatrya great white shark. A great white
shark, sure they're big enough towhere it's just like what are you gonna
do? Right? Like a giantcentipede and a box jellyfish. If you
run into them, they're gonna getyou, but they're not gonna be actively
seeking to get you, you knowwhat I mean. They can't eat you.

(19:15):
They're just gonna try to protect themselves. Great white shark sees you in
the water, you might have aproblem on your hands. I'm under the
impression they've made some movies about this. Right on cue. Yeah, so
the great white shark layers of teeth, the ability to swim quickly, much
quicker than we can, and theyjust want to eat your limbs off of

(19:36):
you and take you out. Iknow, no thanks, but no thanks.
Like I don't even I like theidea of doing stuff that's crazy,
But I don't even want to getinto one of those like shark cages that
they'll drop you in and like beable to protect you. To get really
close to one of them, Idon't even want to mess with it.
I don't eve want to mess withit. Number four the giant forest scorpion
spiders. I really don't have aproblem with spiders. I don't have a

(20:00):
with a lot of tarantulas, butscorpions, to me, the hard exoskeleton,
much like the centipede. The stingerthat just kind of is saying sitting
on the back, that thing's unpredictable. You don't know which direction that thing
could could get you at. It'sjust kind of above their head a lot
of the time. But they canget you from different directions with that thing
that tail with the stinger on it. This I don't know if this is

(20:22):
the most lethal of the scorpions outthere, And I don't think scorpions in
general most of the time are goingto be able to like kill you.
And again, they're not trying tolike seek you out actively. They will
only get you if they feel likethey are like you're endangering them. But
the sheer size of the giant fora scorpion, if I saw that thing
in front of me, I wouldfreak out right. It's just like,

(20:42):
get that thing away from me.You can't even really smash one of these
guys, right, And I don'teven know, like I'm not a smash
or kill kind of guy, butI would just like run so fast in
the opposite direction from one of thesethings. I just no, I have
no time for this. You wouldnot like a rad scorp and then a
rad scorpion it's from a video game. Oh well yeah, obviously probably a

(21:06):
video game like it is like anthropomorphic. Does it have like a funny face
on it or something? It's it'sfrom the video game series and now popular
TV show Fallout. It's basically afterthe nuclear bombs dropped, certain animals didn't
die off, they just were enhancedby radiation and scorpions, basically a scorpion
the size of a cow. Yeah, does it look like a regular scorpion

(21:30):
or does there other cartoon features aboutit? Then it just it's just a
giant scorpion and uh yeah, noteasy to take down in the video game.
You gotta you gotta expend a lotof a lot of ammo. This
this makes me never want to playthe video game. Oh you'd love it?
What I Yeah? What's the point? Like, what are you trying
to accomplish? Well, it's it'spoke. It's post apocalyptic, but usually

(21:51):
there's your humans set up, andit's one of those. It's a video
game that's very much choose your ownadventure. It's like a Choose your Own
Adventure book, but in video gameform. If you remember those books,
you basically create your own person.You start and there's a premise there's a
storyline, but there's so many sidequests, and the whole thing is based
around the premise that you're either maybetrying to find your dad who disappeared,

(22:12):
because usually you start in a vaultand you go out into the lear nuclear
wasteland and you're just running around tryingto survive, and there's ghouls and crazy
animals and all kinds of fun stories, and it's just it's it's, I
don't know. It all has asort of nineteen fifties aesthetic because that was
basically the culture that never left America. It's h what do you call those

(22:37):
books that kind of historical fiction.It's kind of like a historical fiction video
game in a way. It's asif cow sized scorpions. Yeah, imagine
if the Cold War didn't like end, but just increased in severity over like
one hundred plus years, almost onehundred and fifty years before the nuclear bombs
finally dropped. That's basically the worldthat the the video game lives in.

(23:00):
So for all people who don't likevideo games and they had to endure this
conversation, I'm sorry, I'm anerd, but all the people who do,
Hey, how's it going, Hey, here's my gamer tag. Yeah,
find me you guys. Let itbe that to play the video games.
Yeah, okay, So my fourthe giant centipede, the box jellyfish,

(23:22):
the great white shark, and thegiant forest scorpion. Those are my
four animals and I'm most not interestedin seeing in the wild. If you
got a list, you can callin four h two five five eight eleven
ten. Got plenty on the email. I'll get to here momentarily. Right
here on news radio eleven ten KFAB Let's head to the phones. Jared's
on the phone line, four htwo five five eight eleven ten. Jared,
what do you got for me?Hey? Man? So only I

(23:44):
have to agree with a few thingswith you. The box jelly terrifying,
big cat terrifying. But bears,bears? Neither of us had any bears.
Yeah ever so so so, Jared, have you seen a bear in
person? No? Don't want too. Okay, yeah, is there a
specifics? But I think they're greatanimals. I don't want to be a
near one, do you know?Uh? Like, is there one specific

(24:07):
type of bear that you would bemost afraid of seeing in the wild.
The tie between the Grizzby and thepolar Yeah, most of those probably would
have no mercy on your soul there. No, they engine, engine and
heartbeat, Yeah, the go ahead. So then the one last one to
be the starfish, the Crown ofThorns. Oh yeah, one of those

(24:32):
guys. Yeah, and you wouldn'teven see that guy until after he got
you. No. So, Iwas scuba diving off the coast uh Korea,
and uh, it was taking meinto the reef and I didn't realize
it until it was like twelve inchesfrom me. And those things are huge
and terrifying and they can inflict somepain and some death. Yeah that's uh.

(24:56):
And they have venom too, whichis so weird. Well, Jared,
I will tell you your list,definitely. I just looked up some
pictures of the Crown of Thorn starfish. Yikes. Oh man, yeah,
yeah, no, thanks. They'relittle things. I mean, I appreciate
them and I respect them. Yeah, I don't want to be around them.
I'm hearing that a thousand times.Hey, Jary, appreciate the call

(25:17):
man, Thanks for listening. Thanks. Uh. Yeah, you you want
to know you know something else?Though, you want to know something else
I could get you could go ona completely different list with those deep sea
like heated scuba diving. You'll findthese guys in scuba waters that's not that
far deep. But if you goto like the deep sea and you see
some of the animals and fish andpods and isopods and stuff that are down

(25:40):
there, that is some scary scarystuff. We'll keep the conversation rolling Friday.
Four on the way is we're talkingscariest animals you don't want to see
in the wild. Last hour ofthe week. We want you to be
a part of the show. Callin four, two, five, five,
eight, eleven ten News Radio eleventen KFAB. You can get a
variety of different flavors or colors.But then you tell tell them what school
you're buying the shot for, anda ton of this money is going to

(26:04):
like a great cause. Right Well, Tennessee has their game starting in just
under an hour over at the CollegeWorld Series against Florida State, and at
the latest update at five o'clock,Tennessee is now at twenty three hundred and
fifty eight yello shots. They haven'teven played a game yet. It's going
to be a rowdy crowd. Theyhaven't even played a game, yet they've
been here for like two days.This is what happened. Somebody sets a

(26:25):
record like LSU set the record lastyear, obviously, and people are going
to want to break it. Secondplace, by the way, almost half
of that North Carolina twelve hundred andforty five. Nobody else is over nine
hundred. See, I just Iknow that there are generally quite a few
schools from the South that make iteach year, but them all being from
those two conferences. I was thinkingabout that, is that going to impact

(26:47):
this contest even further? Because youknow there are some conference ties and just
rivalries baketime competition, disdain for youknow, I'm a North Carolina man and
I just plumb don't like people fromKentucky that sort of thing, you know.
I'm just I wonder if this Jelloshotcompetition is going to shatter previous years.

(27:07):
I already looks like it is.Last place, by the way,
is the Florida Gators just three hundredand seven. That's the opponent for Tennessee
tonight, by the way, Sodang, that's a lot. That's a
lot. Dang. I'm gonna hopefullythis weekend be contributing to the jello shot
situation over there. Half hour awayfrom chatting with our guy Mickey Anderson over

(27:30):
there at Baxtrato. We're excited tochat with him about what's coming up for
them, and they're funny, I'msure exciting response to what's going to be
happening with or what the current administrationand their EPA regulations on tailpipe admissions,
what that looks like. That'll beit a half hour from now, But
I want to get to a lotof these emails Emory at kfb dot com

(27:52):
people sent in their Friday four animalsyou would be most scared to get any
have an encounter with in the wild. What were zero four? If?
Do you have that handy to remindthe people? Yeah, so mine was
the black Widow spider. Could havegone a couple different ways, but that
was a Spider one spider though.Yeah. Yeah, and let's see also
the Komodo dragon. Just a creepy, big lizard that can kill humans and

(28:18):
eats dead people. Yeah, apparentlythey apparently they are known to dig up
graves and eat human remains. Komododragons. I also had the oh the
here it is the giant golden crownedflying fox. That's an enormous bat.
It's the biggest bat in the world, has a five foot wingspan. I
know that these bats are just generallynot a threat to humans unless they have

(28:44):
some sort of crazy disease. That'sthe problem. Can you imagine one of
these bats with rabies just flying aroundall erradically. They just can't even get
to your house, So like,yeah, I mean the odds of you
having an encounter unless it's injured andlaying on the ground eating help is like,
that's the only real real threat.Well right, I would have to
go to the Philippines and in likeyou find them. Yeah, yeah,

(29:07):
not a realistic fear, I willadmit, but I can understand it.
You know, they're creepy looking animalsif you're not used to looking at them.
And number four, this is anothernighttime thing for me. Imagine walking
alone at night and seeing two yelloweyes stare back at you. The black
panther just know that, like atwo hundred pound cat that has the ability
to just claw you and saw youdown. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(29:30):
I can see that one here amI Four the giant centipede, so many
legs, hard exoskeleton which is creepyto me, not easily smushed, not
that you could even try to smashit. It's too fast and it has
a venomous bite. So yeah,look that up. It's a creepy looking
thing. The box jellyfish, whichabsolutely can do some major damage to you

(29:52):
if it gets to your skin.The great white shark. I don't need
to do any further. I thinkwe all can understand what kind of threat
that posted. And then the giantforest scorpion. I'm okay with spiders generally
those are a little more predictable,but you start throwing a hard exoskeleton on
them and then a tail that hasa stinger on it, and I'm out.
I'm out. But the giant forestscorpions the biggest one in the world,
much like your bat situation with theflying fox. This is this is

(30:15):
my kind of irrational fear, ifyou will, all right, here we
go on the emails. Here's somegood ones, Doug says. Giant python
that will suffocate and eat me wholeis his number one. I think is
your story that kind of kickstarted thiswhole thing. Yeah, that probably was
an inspiration, he says. Polarbear and grizzly bear, You're not winning
against either of them if they wantto mix it up with you. Polar

(30:37):
bear was number five on my listbecause if you see one, I mean
like, they have no problem justmixing it up with you. Like a
black bear doesn't really want to havethat interaction. A polar bear is like,
oh, son, you're on myland. Sweet, Let's let's go
go to North Canada. You'll seea bunch of them up in the northern
part of Canada and see how thatworks out for it. Yeah, you
see a polar bear with something withred on the fur. That's intimidating.

(31:02):
Yeah, that's not that's not anunseemly and that's a very common sight when
you see them. By the way, in Doug's finishes with a liberal vegan,
they don't scare me as much asthey annoy me. Terry says a
grizzly bear. Polar bears too.Black mamba, there's a good snake,
the black mamba. Hippopotamus. Nowhe makes the note that they kill more

(31:22):
people in Africa than any other animal, and that's true. Those guys are
gigantic, and it's not like rhinoceros. Rhinoceros are like host stocks that will
eat. They will eat mostly grass, and hey, a hippo, they
need a little bit more stuff goingon. They can be very dangerous,
but they'd also be very lovable,as you see with like the Cincinnati Zoo.
They have an awesome hippo named Fionaand her family up there. Very

(31:47):
cool. And then Terry finishes upby saying, kangaroos, don't laugh.
I think they're creepy. Kangaroo Iactually do as well. I one hundred
percent there, yep. Why theway they look it's it's unset I don't
think if you really think about it, it's kind of like a rabbit that
didn't stop growing and now it canlike hop around and has an enormous tail
and they can punch you. You'veseen a buff kangaroo, Yeah, Like

(32:09):
that's creepy. It's weird. Yeah, but and they got those long like
claws. Yeah, they're an animal. By the way, Thanks to Bill,
who called in said he's loving theconversation and the topic. All right,
thanks Bill, appreciate that. Idon't know I would like to see
kangaroos. They remind me more ofdeer than they do rabbits, even though
they hop like rabbits. It's justlike Australian deer to me, like,

(32:30):
that's what I thought, Like inAustralia you see kangaroos instead of see regular
deer. It always kind of It'sinteresting how they balance on their tail.
They use the tail as like athird leg that they can just kind of
lean back on, so then theycan kick you with the big legs.
But you know, if they wantto mix it up, I feel like
I could at least hold my ownwith them, you know what I mean,
You think you could hold your own. Well, they're not trying to.

(32:52):
They might try to box me,but they're not going to try to
eat me, you know what Imean. Rip? But do you remember
Roger the buff kangaroo with the guythat had like deltoids and biceps and triceps.
Yeah, yeah, that guy wascrazy. I don't even know how
how does that happen? Rightangaroo?He probably spent a lot of time like

(33:12):
on all fours because they can't kindof crawl around with their short front,
their their their their arms a littlebit. And maybe he just like learned
how to do push ups somehow.I don't know, it's crazy, uh,
Lowell says, saltwater croc crocodiles.They'll get you too if you get
too close to them. Angry kingcobra, giant sea snake, and the
goliath bird eater, bird eater,goliath bird eater. It's a giant tarantula

(33:37):
spider that can take down birds.Yeah, whoa yeah, look those guys
up. Big dudes. Those arebig dudes. Whoa you seeing that?
I wouldn't. I wouldn't mix itup with one of those guys. But
then again, there's a spider.It's not trying to hurt a human.
It's just gonna more try to stayout of your way. They're pretty a

(34:00):
lot of those spiders, those tranchelismthe way they catch their food too,
it's the way they can ambush them. Keith says Joy Bahar, Kathy Griffin,
Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris.Keith, that didn't land. Sorry,
who was it? Joy Bayhar KathyGriffin, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala
Harris didn't quite land for me,Joy Bayhart kind of out of left field.

(34:22):
Only one that's not a politician.Yeah, but she's like an old
liberal lady that doesn't seem to understandthe news very well. So there's that,
Josh says, Google a camel spider. Camel spider, all right,
look it up, camel spider.Oh oh yeah yeah, that thing will
mess with your brain a little bit. Yeah, you see one of those
guys. They're called wind scorpions orsun spiders as well. They can run

(34:45):
up to ten miles an hour.How whoa how yeah? Like I said,
though I'm not like super freaked outby spiders that much, I'm probably
a bad person to ask. Gotsome more coming in here. I'll get
to those in a second. Ifyou want to get one in, you

Okay, all right, all right. And then my third one would be
