Yo, Ben in Skin, Welcome to ninety two to five.

There's no one better to replace those two guys than you,
two guys. Much continuing sex for all of you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Just a couple of dudes in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Just a couple of dudes, Ben and Skin Morning six
till nine on lone Star ninety two to five. Just
a couple of dudes, full three dudes and a gal
Christina Carie, little Baby Cornbread Ray the star of the show, Christina,

Speaker 5 (00:35):
In ten minutes, Getty Lee had a really creepy cool encounter.
I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Guys about all right, spein of creepy encounters at eight o'clock.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
You can't say that on TV. We'll get into that,
but right now it's time for this. Are you excited?
And now gets turn.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Wee Day Day featuring veteran news anchor Kat fun tweets.
Speaker 7 (00:59):
Yeah, seen all these worries about these alligators getting shot
in Fort Worth?
Speaker 8 (01:03):
No, I saw a tease to it, but I didn't
see the actual story.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
So three alligators were shot at the Fort Worth Nature
Center and the Texas Game Wardens are offering a one
thousand dollars reward if anyone has any information. I'm gonna
let NBC five have a little runway here because they
did a story.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
On this that's already say something fishy is going on.
After finding two dead alligators in Fort Worth just sweeks apart,
NBC five sahar Orman reports now that there's a reward
for more information.
Speaker 9 (01:33):
When you come out to the Fort Worth Nature Center
and refuge, it's common to spot an alligator along these waters,
but what officials say should never be common is finding
them shot and left for dead. Kayakers found another one
with signs of poaching.
Speaker 10 (01:49):
It does appear that someone trying to remove the head
because the spine had been forced upward, which is consistent
of soul trying to twist and pull the head away
from the spin.
Speaker 9 (02:00):
What and his team spotted this third gator on their
game camera.
Speaker 10 (02:03):
She had that cross bolt or aero shaft ticking out
of her neck. It is very disheartening, and I understand
that there's a fear and in some cases the hatred
of alligators, but they're still protected in their important part
of the ecosystem and.
Speaker 9 (02:15):
Their natives by who are Raman NBC five.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
This is very disturbing because if there is a murder
and then a head twist, it makes me think that
it's a creature. Oh, like like Foot, Bigfoot. I think
I think he's He's basically looking for some belts and
some belt buckles and some different things, and then he
(02:41):
wants the head is a trophy.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Bigfoot's trying to liven up his fashion.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Look, I think crocodiles are way more dangerous than alligators.
Alligators are like a cobra GT car. They're only fast,
like straight ahead. They can't do turns and stuff, you know,
and you can pretty much just get out of its
peripheral vision and you're totally safe.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So you're saying there was no need to shoot it
in the neck, and then no.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I don't think so, but there are you know.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
When we went to Orlando recently, my wife and my
daughter and I, they told us, hey, don't ever walk
near the shoreline of a body of water. Like at
Donner Dusk, a lady was walking her dog and one
of the alligators ate it like it was a chicken McNugget.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
She was walking an appetizer though, why would.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
She do that? And so you know, is this maybe
somebody wants to take back the Fort Worth shore Lines.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now that is a battle I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Yeah, classic battles.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's a new strait of horror moves is the four
Worth shore Lines.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It does seem kind of like a revenge plot. Like
Ben said, maybe this at these alligators or maybe just
one ate someone's pet and they're pissed.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Teach them a less and johnn a gator.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I guess how much do you think gatorheads go for?
Speaker 6 (03:56):
About fifty?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah? Does a gator?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
What about that guy we had on when we were
on the Eagle, Oh yeah, it want to be our
go to guy. He got in all sorts of trouble
for not having licenses and he was killing gators or
feedom cheetos or something.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
How is that not the lead suspect? That guy we
had on the show that was like trying to get famous.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Do we need to get him on?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Yes, or we need to tell the authorities about him?
Speaker 7 (04:21):
This to say, a real taxi arm alligator head typically
costs between twelve dollars and three hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's a wide range. Yeah, got the internet sucks.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
I am looking for some of those fifteen dollars gator
heads if I can get a good deal on him.
Shout out to your mom Gator by the way, Yeah,
my sweet mom Gator loves lone Star ninety two to five.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That's enough.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
