(00:00):
Well, let's get right into this, Hannah. Are you ready? Yes,
I think so. Dart with storiesfrom the Animal Kingdom. Okay,
every one of these stories today onour non headline news have to do with
an animal of some sort, andwe'll start in Romulus, Michigan. You've
been there many times. I've beento Michigan. Where's Romul was at?
(00:22):
It's twenty miles outside of Detroit.Do you know I've probably been around there.
Okay. A woman calls nine oneone and explains in a very calm
voice, according to the police,that okay, there's an alligator on her
patio, very common from Michigan.Well that's I guess what the officer was
thinking, because he's thinking, youknow, this is a prank or something,
(00:44):
and he said, well, canyou send me a picture of it
rightfully, so let's not waste forresources. And she does. She sends
a picture and you can hear theguy on the nine one one call saying,
well, I'll be dispatch. Wegot a negator on the loop.
So this one of those things wherelike it was someone's pet and they let
it out into the wild. Youknow, I haven't seen the interview with
(01:06):
the alligator yet to know it's backstory, but I hope so. Because we're
in North Carolina and Michigan is onthe other side, north of US.
Florida is south of US, soI had to come through here. If
it walks through our neighborhood, I'dbe a bit concerned. There's another story
(01:27):
about turtles. You love turtles,right, poor crush. Apparently they're given
salmonilla to folks. How does ittart like? Are they eating the turtle?
No? No, it's a goodquestion. CDC is reporting that there's
multiple cases, fourteen of them,and thirteen people have become sick. They
(01:49):
apparently bought their turtles online, fromstores or from a reptile show. So
the CDC reminding people, first ofall, not to eat around your pets
and wash your hands thoroughly when youhandle those, and you probably shouldn't eat
turtles. Side note, have youever have you ever had turtle? I'm
(02:10):
maybe turtle soup at some point inlie. I don't really remember it.
It tastes like a poor croast,does it really? Yes, I've had
it before. Well that sounds delicious. Yeah, yeah, it was good.
I think I would have liked it, but I was a little kid,
and my grandpa was a very muchlike outdoorsman, like lived off the
land. So they had turtle oneday for dinner and we were invited over,
(02:30):
and I think, have they nottold me what it was, I
would have liked it more. Ihave had it. They tell you before
you took your first pot, Yes, like, oh, it's turtle.
And I remember, like we're drivingto my grandma's and my dad's like listen,
they're having turtle. You just haveto try it. I just don't
don't be rude. And I'm like, okay, And it wasn't bad.
I've done frog legs. Those areevil critters. Yeah, that was well,
(02:53):
as they always say days like chicken. A FedEx driver in Nebraska had
an interesting encounter. This was caughton a ring doorbell. First of all,
on the ring video. I waswatching this. You see this young
lady leave the house and walk downthe steps on the ring, just a
(03:13):
normal heading off to school situation.Moments later, rattlesnake comes creeping up the
porch and kind of parks itself nextto the front door between the porch and
the wall of the porch, andthen the FedEx driver comes up. He
rings he drops the package and helooks down. He's like, whoa,
what's that right? And so hegoes up takes a picture of it,
(03:36):
and then he goes into their garagebecause nobody was home, I guess,
and got a shovel and a rakeand took care of it. Good for
him, first of all, that'srad I would have just ran away crying
like a little girl. Yeah.Well, the woman who's own the house
actually said something about it was nicethat he didn't just message that it was
(03:58):
there. Then they would have beenfreaked out forever. But you actually see
him murder the thing and then carryits body off. That was gonna be
my next question, like do youmurder the snake and then leave it on
the driveway. It's like, lookwhat I did, like kind of like
the mob would have done back inthe day, right as a scare snake
for the other snakes to know youmean business. But apparently he texted the
(04:21):
homeowner said I hope you didn't havea pet rattlesnake at your front door because
I killed him. Okay, wemove on to the otter story. And
I don't mean it's odd er thanthe others. It's a literal otter,
the animal the otter. Yes,oh they're so cute and no, apparently
not. A woman from Montana,Jen Royce is missing half of one of
(04:44):
her ears. What has a facefull of stitches? She was attacked by
an otter while tubing. Okay,that's not funny, but it's kind of
fun. Like it's sad, butit's kind of funny because who gets attacked
by an art She says it wasvicious and relentless. She says, saw
one otter and coming up behind herfriend and then it started attacking. Then
(05:06):
it bit her. Bit people onthe rear end, you know how you're
sitting on the tube. It bitme that auto bit may So apparently they're
in a slow part of the riverso there wasn't enough rapids to get them
away, so they were just sittinglight and just otter was going nuts.
(05:28):
Side note, when I was alittle kid, there was this TV show
called Peanut Butter and Jelly Pebe andJotter. Yes, yes, and they
were so cute and they were fun. And when we went to the zoo
and Ashborough the other day and theygo, look it's Peebe and j Otter.
Evil who knows but see, Ialways said that about bears. We
have teddy bears, we have Smokeybear. All these are And so I
(05:49):
saw a video of this little girl. She sees a bear in her backyard.
She starts running toward it. Hermom grabs her and pulls her back
inside. We have taught the kidsthat are great. They're fluffy, and
just like most of the animal kingdom, they do not wish you. Well,
that's how I'm going to bite it. By the way, this is
(06:09):
I'm gonna it's gonna be some embarrassingstory like he was killed by otters.
You're going to see it in thenews. I just know it. We're
gonna end with this story. AndI think you have some good advice for
folks in this. Okay. ABoston couple two weeks away from their Italian
wedding, the wedding of their dreams, romantic, and they come home and
(06:30):
the grooms passport has been eaten bytheir dogs, not eating, but ripped
apart from torn up, and partsof it are missing. It is no
longer a valid passport. And nowhow far is the wedding note? It's
two weeks wow, and there's nopersonal information the barcode on the back is
torn up. So they need anew passport before them going the trip.
(06:51):
So they've checked and obviously it takesa long time in the passport. They're
having government officials step in. Hopefullythey're going to be able to do something
for these who do you even call? Like, yeah, my passport SWRIPPT.
I need it in two weeks?Like no, I think where do
you go? They'd have expedited,but I don't think two weeks is going
to work for them. But yeah, it's kind of like that old I
(07:15):
think we talked about it gameword dogate my homework. Imagine walking up to
the TSA agent and me like,yeah, my dog ate it. Yeah,
Like, but you will. You'vetraveled a lot and you're one of
those that just if you have tosit home for a weekend, it's ridiculous
for you. You had advice abouta passport one time. I thought this
was great advice, and it wasabout getting your picture taken. Oh yes,
(07:38):
yes, yes, yes. Ifhave you really gone on a successful
vacation if you don't look like yourpassport photo when you were leaving. So
my passport picture I look like awreck, like I was so sick that
day I had a migrant. Irolled out of the shower wet hair,
black sweatshirt. Let's go right.When we were leaving Iceland last year,
I looked down at my passport photoas I had wet hair in a black
(08:01):
sweats and I'm standing in line.That's successful, Like this is me?
Right? Question it? Because Ihave too much bake upon? That is
exactly right. So as much asyou might may not like your passport poto,
it's probably the better route to gobecause I remember seeing that story in
the news about the girl who theystopped and said, you don't look like
this? Are all pretty in thepicture? Yes? How mortifying? Like,
(08:24):
No, that's that's me. Ijust wear a lot of makeup on
a day to day, right,but not the world. No, you
should travel the way you're probably gonnalook while you're on your trip. Well
that is it for the Animal Edition, with a bonus little passport tip for
you on this edition of Non headlineNews, I'm Scottie. That's Hannah,
