Ever had your commute interrupted by a kangaroo? Strange wildlife encounters and technological oddities take center stage as we dive into some of the most bizarre news stories making headlines.

The podcast kicks off with the tale of Sheila, a runaway kangaroo who caused multiple crashes on Interstate 85 in Alabama. Owned by Patrick Starr (whose family runs a petting zoo), this marsupial on the loose prompted a sheriff to remark with perfect deadpan delivery: "We see a little bit of everything here... except kangaroos." After being sedated and treated at Auburn University's veterinary school, Sheila is reportedly "up and down" - as kangaroos tend to be.

Not to be outdone, Florida contributes its signature brand of chaos with a massive alligator blocking an interstate. The real star? A barefoot alligator trapper decked out in camo gear who showed up to handle the situation. The hosts ponder the peculiar fashion choices of wildlife wranglers while appreciating the pure "Florida Man" energy of the entire scenario.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn toward technology with news of humanoid robots competing in a half marathon in Beijing. Complete with medals and ceremonies featuring four-legged robot "dogs," this blend of athletics and artificial intelligence prompts concerns about our technological future. "This is the beginning of the horror movie," one host remarks, only half-joking about the implications.

Round out your day with these strange-but-true stories that remind us just how bizarre our world can be. From interstate-disrupting exotic animals to the dangers of returning to Mount Fuji for a forgotten phone, this episode delivers laughs while making you wonder: what's next on our highways and byways? Tune in for a dose of the weird and wonderful that will have you looking twice at the next unusual shape on the roadside.

sandwich.

a kangaroo.
Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But the kangaroo is just a pet.
How do you have a petting zooand not feature Sheila?

She's up, she's not sedatedanymore, she's eating, she's

Up here in Tennessee we don't like them on the

through the second.
Guess what Free willy, but notwhales, kangaroos everywhere.
Yeah, willy nilly.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You're supposed to stay on the concrete path.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
quote unquote Well, there's signs that say that too.
Also, kangaroos can't read, solike there's like babies walking
around in there liketwo-year-olds you ever tell a
baby, don't grab something.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Or like a toddler.
Mm-hmm I can't believe athree-year-old hadn't grabbed a
kangaroo by the tail and gotdrop kicked to the tiger exhibit
.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Or to the tiger exhibit, yeah right like or to
the titan stadium or something.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I don't go in there.
No, no, I don't understand Iused to.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I went in there a few times and every time I went in
there I was like what if one ofthese things goes rogue yeah and
it's just like I don't like theway he's looking at me right
I'm gonna kick in the face andthen I'm gonna bite you a bunch.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I don't have a kangaroo vaccine and then I'm
getting on my 65 and I'm gettingout of here.

animal?
It's from Australia, it's cute,let's put it in an exhibit,

animals, Okay.
Now, this one's not.
There was other news.

Speaker 2 (10:45):

Speaker 1 (10:45):
But this one doesn't seem as far-fetched to me.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, because it's Florida, Florida man.
Florida had something on theside of the interstate.
I'm going to let you guess whatit was.
Take a wild guess A gator.
So I don't know if you saw thisA giant gator gets on the
interstate and I guess there'scops and everything to wrangle
it.
You know it's not part of thejob description.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Some dude shows up, uh-huh.

But no shoes.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Apparently he's an alligator trapper.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
But not a shoe wearer .
Okay, you think if you trappedalligators maybe I'm you don't
make some at some point?
Some kids, anything I don'tknow, some crack why?

Speaker 1 (12:01):

Um, yeah, anyway, but yeah, sohe gets out there barefoot and
the gator's ginormous.

There's nothing more.
Florida.

Yeah, there's nothing moreFlorida than a gator on the
interstate trapped by a manwearing camo and no shoes.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I don't think he had a mullet, though that would have
been the only thing.
Wow, that would have made itmaybe.
He was also a Marine.
He had his hat backwards, whichI wear mine backwards all the
time.
They call it a muscle shirt,okay, Okay, we're looking at a

Where was it on the side?
I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Where was it?
No, it wasn't on the side ofthe road.
Okay, but speaking of randomnews stories, I don't know if
you heard a man had to getairlifted from Japan's Mount
Fuji.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Oh, I did hear this story.
It's a big one, yep.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Returns to the slope days later and is rescued after
a year again yeah, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
he had like um altitude sickness, like he was
climbing, yeah, okay which Ihave an idea if you get altitude
sickness how about you stayclear of mount fuji?
Yeah, you want to start with ababy mountain first, or like
just a hill in the backyard orsome business yeah, you got
motion sickness.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
What are you getting for your birthday?
A boat, what?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
So I heard he went back the very next day, so it
was days later.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Four days later.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
So he went back because yeah, why did he go back
?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, he's 27, so he's not that You're still
figuring it out your brain isstill a little jello Student.
So he's airlifted altitudesickness.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Good gracious.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
For the second time, for, oh, he left his phone and
other belongings.
Huh, I'm going to tell youright now if I left my phone on
Mount Fuji.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
And went back the other belongings better be like
$20 million.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
You just have to get air lifted.
Would you leave your birthcertificate?
Yeah, Do you not have theVerizon like insurance plan?
You know anything happens.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's an extra 50 bucks, they'll replace the phone
.
I have a feeling that when youmake that claim with a Shurian,
don't ask me how I know forfeeling that.
When you make that claim with ashurian, don't ask me how I
know for your cell phone and youpay the deductible and they say
what was the reason?
And you said I left it on mountfuji yeah they probably won't
like yeah you know, people dropit in the toilet and they're
like what happened.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
I dropped it in the toilet.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Just upgrade already dog another.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
You'll never guess why he had to get rescued again.
Another climber found him there, unable to move, after he
apparently developed altitudesickness for a second time.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
First of all, his doctor's going to drop him.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You should have gone to Verizon for the second time.
Would have been way cheaper.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Good gracious.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Maybe not cheaper.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Somebody put an air tag on him right now because he
ain't got no business.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
There is no charge or penalty when a climber needs to
be rescued.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't know, but I've been almost dropped from
AAA before.
I bet there is.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm going to say the second time they might want to
hit you up with a fee orsomething.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, pay for the gas or something for the helicopter
.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Can you imagine, if it's the same same helicopter,
he should have got a kangarooalabama they could have.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, um, can you imagine like going?
They're like oh, we got anotherrescue, all right, we're coming
, we're on our way, we'll beright there and they land.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Sorry, that's not how I got the camera.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
And then they land and they're like this is the
same dude, you look familiar.
