Speaker 2 (00:43):
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Wild life too.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wild Life all right, it's good to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Just gone on Twitter. His name's Michael cheryls. He I
don't really know what he does. But he had a
post and somehow that post got nearly three hundred million
views after a few days.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Wow, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
And I think up until now we're probably the only
radio show in the country who has not discussed this yet.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But now we have a big reason to.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
So here's what he wrote on his Twitter post. Okay,
I think one hundred bleep could beat one gorilla. Everybody
just got to be dedicated to the s.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That is.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Okay, I'm now understanding why this took off. It's a
great premise. You know, we do these things all the time,
but the way that it's worded is amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, and it's it's totally captivated me. And I've seen
all these because he didn't he didn't put like a
computer simulation of it, right, Uh no, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So I think it was just one tweet that took
off and then everyone started playing with it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So this guy just had the tweet and now the
simulations are everywhere and you can see what it looks like,
you know, if a gorilla is going to take on
a bunch of people.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Okay, I have not seen any simulations. Do we have
a clear cut winner? Well, the gorillas win everything.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
The one I think I saw one hundred thousand people
against one hundred gorillas and it was like, I think
thirteen gorillas died and the rest were all human deaths
and they just mul They just can't be stopped.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
But honestly, it would have to be such a coordinated effort.
That's what we were talking about at dinner, and so.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Like if you had if all if if, because what
was the original premise, one hundred hundred hundred men.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't think so first gorilla, I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think you could take one hundred mm a fighters
and they could not beat up one gorilla because yeah,
because think about it, you have they have to coordinate.
How do you get close enough to like even get
near him without him knocking, you know, breaking your neck
with one swing.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
And that's the thing. It's got to be coordinated. And
this is a lot like chess.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Ben uh.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
The biggest problem, aside from the strength, is the powerful
jaws that'll rip your flesh off. And so when you
get the hundred people together, you gotta find ten guys
at the sacrificial pawns and they're the ones that have
to go in. If you put three guys at each limb. Okay,
he's gonna be shredding those guys, but then everyone comes
(03:20):
from the back and just starts killing him. You know
what I'm saying, So timmy guys back, he can just
turn around. No, no, no, not with three guys on each limb.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I don't even think it would impact him.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I guarantee you I actually think eighty five MMA
fighters could take out one silver back gerrilla.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Let's just say average man one hundred man. This is
one hundred men. So you might have a couple of
MMA fighters in there, but you also might have a fireman.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You also might have a guy like me. All right,
so there's not gonna help much. Yeah, but one hundred man.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Average O weight of a man's about two hundred punds
on a hundred times two hundred is twenty thousand pounds.
Your standard western gorilla weighs about three hundred and fifty pounds,
So I do think you have about sixteen five hundred
pounds to play with.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
How can you get it to like, you know what
I'm saying, Like coordinated dog is what I said.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, so it's not like it's not like the way.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Like a head thing, right, like just circulation.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I don't think it's It's not like you get to
put the gorilla in the middle and then everyone attacks
it from everyone like how are you how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I always assume it's one like like dodgeball. Yeah, both.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Everybody's got to run towards one hundred people running towards
the gorilla at one time.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I think the plan that if I was the coach here, Yeah,
you gotta get the eyes.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You go at their eyes. They can't do anything. That's
what I'm saying. Someone's gotta be Yeah, that's ane. Can
I have ten dedicated out of my one hundred guys?
You're designated eye gougers? Well no, no, no, those guys are
gonna die. Yeah, they don't die immediately, but they take
out the limbs.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And that's where people come in and they see, grill
got your eyes? Okay, how do weady? Right?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
How do we land on the gorilla? By the way,
because wouldn't a grizzly bear be harder to beat than
a grilla?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
No, silver back gorilla over the legend of the silverback
grilla is so strong. The person that presented it to me,
I said, wait, a minute, how big is your average
silverback gorilla? And without without skipping a beaty ghost, they're
like seven feet tall.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, I think it's I think a grizzly bear would
beat a silverback gorilla.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
No way, I do.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Um the internet, we have a well I don't I
know his last name. I don't know his first name.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We had a guy wrote a book on this very frequency.
He's talk about grilla verse bear.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, he wrote a book that's like about animal fights
that would actually go He's a professor in college. Was
it a strange now, mister, I don't know is what
did I say?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
In a one on one confrontation, a grizzly bear would
likely win against a gorilla primarily due to its superior size, weight,
and the effectiveness of its claws and teeth. While gorillas
are incredibly strong and have a powerful bite, the size
and physical attributes of the grizzly bear make it a
more formidable opponent.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Claus versus fingers. Did you see that simulation right now?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Did you say silverback gorilla? I'm serious, because silverbackgrilla is
the most vicious one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's just old and great. Dude.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, no, no, that's why the premise took off. The
silverback gorilla is the one that's kind of like the.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, here's the idea.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
In a hypothetical fight, a grizzly bear would likely win
against the silverback gorilla, mainly due to size, strength and
weaponry advantages.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Man, I think AI is just saying what it just
said a second ago.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It doesn't want to be wrong, right, Hey, man, like
I said the other Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Here's an NBC video and they got Steve Karnaki on
at the guy who does the charts for the NFL
playoffs in the political races. Oh yeah, let me pluck
the syshrkers. You know, he's actually doing the breakdown if
you guys want to hear.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Some of this.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Plea, guys, we have spent way too much time today
thinking about all of this, to the point that we
actually created a very unofficial stay Tuned Now poll at
work with very so the poll has sixty three picking
the gorilla over the one hundred men.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
See how we get to the end here. Okay, yeah,
that's a really great point. I think the fight that
we're talking about here is a little bit misguided, because really,
gorillas are in a fight and they're in a fight
for their survival, so they are considered critically.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And we're all we're not in the food chain, these
one hundred men. When it got down to it, it's
like the thing is like the clutch gene and sports
or whatever, when you when it is time to step
into the battlefield, we're not ready and the gorilla is
absolutely ready.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And you can't measure that.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You can't use analytics weight, you can't even use like
body traits and features.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
A gorilla a gorillas never used a microwave or experienced
air conditioning. And once you're kind of indoctrinated into that,
you saw life. You're saw we're pampered.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We had someone wipe our butt the first three years
of our life, some of us ten years.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I saw Leonardo DiCaprio go head to head with a
grizzly bear and it was a reasonably fair fight.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He kick, but there wouldn't about was destroyed. He landed
a I don't think you landed a punch. He went
out like a dude. Wipe man. I think that dude
wipe well. I had a chance to beat that guy's butt.
No final, voto, final verdict. I'm taking the gorilla over
(08:22):
one hundred men. I'm taking the eighty five MMA fires.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That was not a part of it. That is, thank you,
well accept thank you. That's a different one. On the
rod covering, you'll see.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
IM just taking the gorilla because the gorilla does not
deserve to die, but.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The hundred people do. Yeah, give.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
You don't know that gorilla's innocent, could have just like
held up a grocery store or something that idea.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
How much pente do these men have? Right?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's a fair question, all right, But but let's take
it to the next level because last night on a
very popular talk show, a whole new fight introduction was introduced,
and it demands our immediate attention. Don't go towere. In
less than four minutes, we'll have that for you right
here on the Eagle
All right, the first half of the three o'clock hour
is gonna be full of fighting, stick around. We'll prove
that second half is gonna be full of sports. We'll
