“Can a 15-foot python really trap a man on top of his truck—or is this just another case of local news gone completely off the rails?”In this absolutely unmissable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, your favorite crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dives headfirst into one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories to ever slither out of Garland, Texas.When a massive reticulated python is spotted “circling” a front yard and allegedly “trapping” a man on top of his truck, the team unpacks the absurdity with their signature blend of wit, skepticism, and unfiltered commentary. But things really go off the rails when they tune into the local news coverage—complete with sultry music beds, moaning anchors, and a segment that sounds more like a late-night Cinemax special than a morning update.🐍 Key Moments & Themes:
- The Snake That Stalked Suburbia: Was the python really “staking the joint,” or is this just AI-generated journalism gone rogue?
- Channel 8’s Sensual Snake Segment: The crew loses it over the moaning, the music, and the anchor who may or may not be standing on a desk mid-broadcast.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now it's time for Basis week Day up Day,
featuring veteran news anchor kt f on tweets.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Here are the important stories he's currently tracking from around
the world.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All right, we've got a big story over in Garland, guys.
Hell yeah, this happened over at the intersection of Apache
Drive and Broadway Boulevard. Garland official set a resident near
there cold animal control because he noticed a large snake
circling the front yard.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This thing's big.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Just a weird detail.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, I know that it was circling their front yard.
I tell you it was, dude, it was staking the joint.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
They've got to stop letting AI write these articles because
the details are never They're never on par with what
I would expect as a consumer.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
First of all, a giant python is just going to
be laying in your front yard or passing by. I
don't think it stops in one specific front yard and
then goes in circles. It goes in circles around the
front yard. Is it's eyeing it for its attack.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
At one point, the fifteen foot reticulated python reportedly trapped
a man on top of his truck.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hold on what is reticulated mean? It's I think it
means ribbed for her pleasure.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Okay, all right, so it basically flexed in a way
to let her know it could do work. And then
the guy got scared and jumped on top of his
truck like a pee because hold.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
On, particulated is the pattern.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, of course that's what I meant.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
This is you were going to say, so the network.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The trapping a man on his truck. First of all,
they're slow. They're very slow. Like you see people on
YouTube or social media go in to a reticulated python's nest.
The mother just had all these babies related now, and
the reticulated babies are in their reticulated eggs, and the
(01:55):
guy will go in there and snatch all the eggs away,
and the mom's like yeah, like lunches out. But it's
so slow it can't do anything. A guy can snatch
the eggs without even worrying. All right, you've watched a
lot of YouTube apparently, But do we know whether or
not this python was armed. No, they don't have hands
or arms. Yeah that's interesting, or a gator. Okay, but
(02:17):
I don't know how it trapped somebody. It would have
to like be fast enough to get to any any
of the four sides of the truck.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What if it was like a special needs guy? Okay,
all right?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Could be that if there was somebody who was wheelchair
bound and the wheelchair was not functioning and then they
were trapped.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
No, he was like simple jack.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They would have to be trapped like already, be like
tied up by the snake.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Let's go to Channel eight. Let's see if they're handling
this story with care.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
One man in Garland says he was so terrified of
this fifty book python he jumped on top of his truck.
Speaker 4 (03:43):

Speaker 5 (03:44):
The Garland Animal Shelter was called out to help trap
this massive snake. They say it took a few tries,
a lot of patients, but they didn't seely and impounded
that has got.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
To escape from someone song? Did you hear the moan
from Greg Fields?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
A lot of patients, but they did seely capture and impounded.

Someone's home right watching?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yes, okay, impounded that has got.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What's the music he's moaning while she says watch it,
she says, watch him pound it and the moans.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
And impound it. That has got to escape from someone's home, right,
collects them.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's not like natural, dream like staring at her in
whatever she's wearing, and he's admired.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Damn, he's standing on the desk. It's not like.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Natural to this area.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Snake folks are going to correct me if I'm wrong.
A lot of people in the comments wondering if it
was someone's see that's why we're trying to figure that
out too. But there are a lot of there's not
one single source to remove these guys. Right, You've got private.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Hard heart stop.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I think that was just coming from an adjacent studio.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
It's amazing private companies, local law enforcement, animal control. So
I feel like if.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You call your local animal control, they're like.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Nah, that's not good. No, they will And that's literally
what happened. Garland Animal Control went and got it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I don't understand how trapped somebody. This is fake news.
It doesn't it's snake like, that doesn't trap someone in
a car, get up on a car, you're like, oh,
it's a snake, and then just get off on the
other side of the car and leave. That's why I
don't trust the legacy media same.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I think I could see this because that would be
terrifying snake that for you. They have discovered the python
was someone's pet. The owner was notified. He's going to
reclaim it tomorrow and they will be taken out of
the Garland city limits.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
No way. They've banned it from Garland. Yeah, I hope
the guy doesn't live in Garbland.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It might be illegal to have a snake like that,
and and I'm out of the rules for you.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't think anyone should be able to have a
pet that can eat a toddler.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right, that thing is huge, you know, if you see
the video, it's terrifying.
Speaker 4 (05:58):

Ends who.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like how they teach it? Yeah, yeah, exactly, all right,
there you have it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Although once an animal gets the taste of a toddler,
razor sharp teeth. I've seen pit bulls trapped toddlers on
top of trucks. They're also saying multiple strike attempts here.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Who who's saying that?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
