Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome the wild life dude, a wild life flue.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
There's been a lot of big matchups over the years
Tyson versus Douglas, Huld Cogan versus Rick Flair, but this
one is the biggest one I've seen in a long time.
Toddler versus Cobra.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh, classic.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Two year old toddler in India. He's just playing in
its home, outside of its home, little village. He sees
a little three foot long snake. He's like, oh, it's
a snake.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Two, I don't know what's going on. I grab and
put my mouth on anything. I'm a two year.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Old Hercules did do you remember that little baby Hercules?
He grabbed a snake, Yeah, shook it, and that's how
they knew he had power.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, that's how he found out because he picked up
a snake. Dealing with Hercules picked up a dumb bell.
We might have known a little better than this or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Is that the true legend of Hercules, that's the cartoon.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
So yeah, man, anytime I hear Hercules, I think of Hercules, Hercules,
Hercules and the fart scene.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Speaking of movies, that's the hardest I've ever laughed in
a movie. Theater is during the first and second fart
scene of the Nutty Professor.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
It's a great scene.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
I'd also like to recommend, if you've never seen it,
Bill Murray doing Hercules on Saturday Night Live where they
over dubbed it's the funniest damn thing ever. And Hercules
is washed up and he's got back pain.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
He's like, oh God, and.

Speaker 6 (01:38):
So they're like, so the mighty Hercules. He's like, just
give me a couple of weeks to work out and
I'll be back. It's look up Bill Murray's Hercules on
Saturday Night Live. And and was it just like a
strong guy?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Is that all?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
It was?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Strong? Just a strong half god though half gods like Atlas.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Zeus the Son. Yeah, that was the whole thing. And
then they like drugged in to become half mortal, and
that's the whole thing. I didn't know Christina knew so
much about this. I was one of my favorite Disney movies.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, of course it's that mythology. It is mythology. But
that movie.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
I loved it, And I know it's kind of accurate.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Who played Hercules in that movie the Disney movie think
it was Bill Murray. Well back to the snake. Two
year old toddler outside sees the three foot cobra and
then grabs it. Then the cobra is like, you don't
grab me, I'm a venomous cobra, and it lunched at
him and coils itself around the tiny hands of the

(02:34):
little two year old. Two year old keeps its composure
and then goes f you puts the snake's head in
its mouth and clinches his jaw and the snake dies
on the spot.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Who hey, we do have a little mini hercules going.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
So as the snake is dead because he just didn't
even have teeth at that point.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
That's what two they're starting to come in. But sharp
enough to kill a snake? Is there that help with
the puncture?

Speaker 6 (03:04):
That might have been right. He might have had his
own version of fangs. Ben, this has to.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Be a baby cobra at three feet. But here's what
happens after he does that. The two year old passes
out because the venom They got the venom.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Because it bit him, or because he sucked it out
of the snake.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
He might have sucked it out of snake's head.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
I don't think it works that way.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
It could could it.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
I mean, you know, when's the last time you bet
him have been in this cobra on the head, or
when's the last time you sucked a snake?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (03:32):
What I looked? I asked chat GPT my new best friend. Uh,
what are animals that a toddler could beat in a fight?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Okay, cub and.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
It said slugs and snails, which are insects right in
seid of worm, a butterfly, an ant or a house fly.
And that's it.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Did you say insects or animals? I said animals?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Those so they can't beat an ant. By the way,
there's no it said it could.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
A toddler could bet a jellyfish on land and a
goldfish on land.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean I would contend that some of these worms
and snails that you're talking about, though, are just like
it's like a bigger coat. Like a big worm is
about what he bit into a three foot cobras.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Right, it's a baby thirty six inches, so probably not
that gurthy you're.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Doing two feet you're holding that two feet right now?
That's probably yeah, there you go right there.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah, And dude, the danger with baby snakes we've talked
about this is like an adult snake knows not to
release its full load, Oh yeah into a victim. Yeah, oh,
because it's reserving some in case has to bite other people.
Because it's been around the block. It knows I might
have to bite someone else in a second. Don't need
that refractory period to build back up. Might want to

(04:47):
party later. And a toddler or a baby snake, it
just full load unleashed in every bite. So sometimes baby
snakes can be more dangerous than adult snakes.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, the kid passes out, but then the he survived
it just in time. They rushed him to the hospital
and he's Gucci family. He's good now, and I think
he's clearly Hercules now the new Hercules.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Did anybody interview the toddler, No, because you can't talk.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
He just.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Mean he two year old. They make dumb noises.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It's incredible, And they're at that age where you got
a hover because they're always walking around.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Man, just living in.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
A part of the world where cobras are around is terrifying,
But I guess they feel that way. People that live
around cobras feel that way about living around rattlesnakes.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
So I won't go to Grand Prairie.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yep, I found out that the guy who is the
actor in Hercules. Get this, Tate Donovan don't do anything
for anybody in the soccer player.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
No in Old School? Also, is it the same guy.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, Tate Donovan's a guy you've seen a lot of things,
including the nineteen ninety two Central Bullet film Love Potion
Number Nine. But he's also in the OC. That's how
I know him. You guys have seen his face because
he's been a ton of crap, not a leading man.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
How was he Hercules?

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I apologize for bringing it up at the beginning of
a segment.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, it was just I've never heard of it was
in an animated movie.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yes, it was a Disney movie. But he did date
Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston in the nineties. So give
it up for Take Donovan.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Day nickname is Horsehog. Have you actually seen Love Potion
Number nine?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
