Speaker 1 (00:00):
I love the way KT phrase that, what is the
dangerous creature on Earth?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And don't you want to know? Tracy Morgan, bet you
want to know who that is. We got the Cubby
Hole coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
KT's shopping tip that could save DFW lots of money.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Christina's got a Kikjr.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Coming up after that, some big tour announcements that we
need to know about.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
But right now it's time for this intent. It's entertainment
and nine.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So there's a new show on NBC called The Fall
and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and it stars Tracy Morgan
and Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe. Oh, I haven't seen it.
New show or old show, new show, okay, just a
classic NBC sitcom. But doing some media to talk about this,
they were asked, you know what's you know? The most
(00:50):
I think is the most irresponsible purchase you've ever made.
I bought you Moore, and I thought of being when
Tracy Morgan said, I have a twenty thousand gallon shark
tank in my backyard. I like to hoard things that
could possibly kill me. I have three blank Okay, I'm
gonna leave that open for us. One is out in
the shark tank, and two are inside the house that
(01:10):
are in my daughter's room. It's the deadliest thing on
the planet. There's no cure. It could kill a blue well.
And I have three of them in his daughter's room. Yeah,
and one in his shark tank that he bought that
is in his backyard.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Do you guys have a good feel for how big
a twenty thousand gallon shark tank is?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No, I can't how big was yours been? I can't remember,
And I don't even remember what size my pool is.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I think this is just like him saying crazy stuff
and none of a trial, because I think we would
be like twenty thousand gallons is the set of the Titanic.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't know what is the average pool size.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I will tell you that. Remember of the story of
Troy Aikman having an aquarium in his bedroom and Jimmy
Johnson would pull up a launch hair and drink beer
and they'd stare at the fish together. Yeah, that one,
according to Things Online, was about a seventy five gallon tank.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, and bedroom, So this is huge. A swimming pool.
The average swimming pool is between fifteen and twenty thousand gallons.
So he's talking about an above average sized swimming pool.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I got a swimming pool on my back.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You with sharks?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, I was when you start talking about the most
deadliest or the deadliest creatures, that could be the creatures
that kill the most people per year, or it could
be just in a one on one setting, which one
would be the deadliest, like you know what I'm saying, like, yeah,
and I know great white sharks aren't kept in captivity,
so it's not a great white shark.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And I was thinking of the other things that are
the deadliest. Mosquitoes are the absolute deadliest. It's probably not mosquitoes.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's got mosquitoes in his pool.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Humans are the second deadliest creatures on Earth. It's probably
probably don't own a human. Snakes would be the third deadliest.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, snakes have a lot of victims.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Dogs are the fourth deadliest, but it probably probably didn't
have a water pit.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You seeing like a dog, like a pit bull doggie
paddling there with the shark.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, it's probably not a crocodile or a hippo.
They're they're deadly. So you know, I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
it's either it could be a snail, but I think
a snails to one snail and a twenty thousand dollars
tank is pretty stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Could I could be like a puffer fish, you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Know, like one of those real poisonous, tiny little fish
that you know you see them in movies. You're somebody
has an aquarium and it gets out and it could
kill you.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I bet it's something that looks like a mushroom. It's
like some weird mollusk or something.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Then nailed it. It's the cone snail. Oh, it's a
snail nail, the cone snail, the cone and snail's got
like orange hair and Conny dance. Hey, I have an
update on this what last night? And I know I
knew nothing about this. So you guys are already aware
of them, that snails and slugs are dangerous.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I didn't either, actually, And so last night we were
in the kitchen and my daughter comes in and goes,
we got to go outside and kill this slug because
it's going to kill the dogs. And I was like,
what are you talking about? I had no idea there
is a slug or a giant snow know what the
difference is? And it's pretty gross. Looking and it was
about this base, probably about four inches long, and it
(04:10):
was fat and gigantic. And we went out there and
we poured salt on it, and then all this orange
mick started, it started coming out, and then I scooped
it up, put it in a trash sack, put it
a second trash sack, and threw it away. I had
no idea that those things were that dangerous, that sounded
so sexual. Yeah, I don't, Yeah, I know they're there.
I didn't, you know, I hadn't thought of a dog
(04:31):
trying to eat them. But I know that snails, I
think they kill like twenty thousand people a year.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
What were If they've got venom in there, then it
doesn't take much. And that's the thing think about all
the scientific testing. It's taken over the years, a lot
of trial by death to get to a point that's
where we know which animals are venomous and which animals aren't.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, And I think it's also like like frogs may
kill a certain people per year, it doesn't mean every
frog is gonna kill you. And I don't think every
snail is poisonous, but there must be some like wildly
toxic poisonous snails.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I wish I had taken a before picture of this.
I definitely have the after picture of this when it
all like curled up. But I mean it was, it
was a pretty gigantic looking thing, man, I mean, but
then it just like curled up and started spitting gross
stuff everywhere. This thing kind of looks like, honestly, it
looks like a bad turd.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
If we find out that Tracy Morgan has, you know,
unceremoniously passed away, we will know that it was either
a cone snail or a truck.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Why keep deadly snails in his daughter's room?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Was that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
That's just he's just saying crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right. There you have it. There's entertainment headlines coming
up next.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
In the cubby Hole, Kat says he's got a shopping
tip that could save d FW lots of money.
