Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys.
I am your host, Brian, and I have my co-host here. His name is Chris James.
Hi, Chris. Hi, Brian. Thank you. I appreciate you. I appreciate you calling me the co-host as well.
I mean, I think that's not necessarily 100% clear. My name is on every episode. Not this one.
Not this one. Okay. So you're're saying that we're so this is your
this is quite an exciting official announcement of me being the co-host is that you are not going
to put my name in the description as a guest today wow well i figured out that doesn't make
much sense unless you're not here well if i'm not here then you definitely shouldn't put my name on
it well no i'm okay and we have as a guest someone i've been following for a very long time brian
gar what's up dude hey man brian with an eye we got both flavors of brian that is right so
this episode i haven't been as nervous about an episode since probably Real Ale Guys.
And the content that I have for the episode.
Well, yeah, I mean, I understand that you were talking to me a little bit before.
You were very nervous because this is, of course, the first time that we have someone named Brian on.
And you were telling me a lot, sending me a lot of messages like,
I just want to be the
best brian on the episode i'm like i'm sure you're the host it's not like it's not like that but you
were really worried about that and i understand yeah i mean i get a little nervous i never have
confidence in the stuff i found but i found here that um i found here that i'm a little bit kind of uh oh for fuck's sake sorry
uh i find that i'm a little bit nervous when i don't when i think the people that we're looking
at are normal and that's where the problem is it seems like a lot of these people are normal people
i mean i i would say first off i just want to say i
maybe i mean you're probably right that there may be a little bit more normal than some of
the people we deal with but i that guy i say you did not seem normal we do have a couple of abnormal
i've i found out about him yesterday right like uh you told me about the you told me about a guy and we were looking for guys
and now i i got like a libertarian guy he's called the reptile professor and his name on
youtube is professor herp so i sir herp um now brian do you have brian oh god this is gonna be so um well how about uh yeah
i brian do you do you have any did you ever have any reptiles when you were growing up i wanted one
but never had one yeah i'm trying to think my dad was a big dog guy so we always had dogs oh god that must have
been terrifying it was oh oh i'm sorry he was he was into dogs i got you his my grandfather was a
big hunter so they always had like bird dogs and stuff around so we always had dogs i had a guinea
pig very short-lived but no i don't i don't think i had i no, I don't, I don't think I had, I don't know. I don't,
I don't think I had one either. How did the guinea pig die? Um, it was one of those where
it just disappeared one day. Like I, I don't know what happened. I think my parents just sort of
got tired of probably taking care of it. Cause I was like eight years old and they're like,
he went to go live with some Brian hates animals, by the way well i thought that's when i thought the first thing you were doing was asking me if i ever had a reptile
and i'm like no oh you don't like animals at all not a fan no not really i mean we shouldn't we
should not talk about this on the main episode no no no no this is this makes people very angry
with brian and we should not discuss it on the i don't have pets either
i'm with you i don't i don't have pets currently it's great it is it's like being childless except
better oh no that i just want everyone they're just everyone who's listening i just want you
you to know that the brians are doing a bit when they say they don't like animals and pets they
actually love them and i know for a fact brian, Murder Brian, I know he has three cats and two dogs.
I don't have any animals, number one.
And let me just say this.
I don't think, I don't hate animals.
I hate having animals in my house.
You hate having them in captivity.
Yeah.
Well, no, and to be clear, it's not an issue of that.
It's not like morally or anything
like that that's not where his issue is he hates having them around it is not an ethical thing
you know what i had always heard about reptiles is that you get them in your house and your house
starts to smell bad like near the thing that was always the kind of uh that was always the kind of
thing that people with my parents would uh that was always the kind of thing that people
with my parents would say interesting yeah that is interesting because what would it i wonder what
it would smell like shit maybe my parents had two huge smelly dogs so i think they just didn't like
lizards you know because i'm sure my brother would have got them like when we grew up, we had a few pets. We had a few dogs.
We had two Newfoundlands.
And they would swim
in our pool. And my parents
would never bathe them either. They would
swim in our pool and then they would come in the
house and shake the
water off of them all the time.
That was really the point where I was like,
I can't have some of
these animals in the house
and then uh we got rats at one point not like we were infested with rats like pet rats pet rats
and in my home my home the one i run uh we had a hamster at one point named Henry Houdini and a beta fish named Brock Lesnar for a period of time.
But that was really all we ever had in this.
Did you say you had a beta fish?
Well, yeah.
Isn't that what they're called?
They're like beautiful, but they're cheap.
That's kind of interesting, though, because, yeah, when I grew up, I had an alpha fish.
Oh.
Oh, that's kind of interesting. It sort of makes sort of makes sense though when you think about it but it's
weird like weren't the betas they used to be named siamese fighting fish yeah i don't think you can
call it that so really the betas are the alphas of the fish world i have betas too i have a fish
tank so yeah i do have uh but yeah beta if you can't have two betas together they'll
they'll fight each other so i was on reddit our reptiles reading through it and i was i i found
i came upon this post it seems like another reason why my parents may not have wanted lizards in the house. And here it goes. This is from C. Jana.
My cat knocked over my container of roaches and I'd say I captured about 20 or so from my room.
I'm sure there are a few more still hiding that I missed, but I can't go back to sleep imagining
if it gets out of hand. Will they be able to breed? It's usually about 74, 75 in my house. Of course, night two of having
a gecko, I was sure to keep my cat out of the room with my gecko, but didn't think about the
roaches until I had heard a noise as I'd just fallen asleep. Yeah, you got gotta keep your roaches in a secure location there's no doubt about that
i mean i i guess yeah having live um like food would be a different thing about lizard right
you don't feed live food to a dog or a cat or whatever so that was my question so the roaches were lizard he was keeping the
roaches to feed the lizard and of course they got out yes yeah it's always gonna fucking always
every pet is gonna that's the thing why i never had hamsters they always escape
oh everyone and this is like this is like a movie scenario yes you know where you've got all the
roaches and they're kind of sitting there and you're dozing off the big z's coming off of your head and the cat sort of you know
it's right on the edge yeah you got to keep them in a secure location i think though it maybe it's
in a different way but you you have to be like responsible but i think that wouldn't deter me
from i desperately wanted a snake or something when I was younger.
And I don't know my huge pet people,
my mom,
huge,
so many dogs and cats growing up and always had animals.
But my mom,
she always deterred me like subtle,
you know,
she would always keep me away from the lizards.
I think,
I don't know why I could ask her.
I think part of it is because,
and when I decided, well, when I put this episode up for vote in Patreon, I had a very specific type of guy in my head.
And so when I was 16, I worked at Chuck E. Cheese.
And hell yeah.
We knew that.
Did we talk about that already?
Not on here, but street fight people know what do
you what did you do at uh at chuck's brother i was a jack of all trades i did kid check i did
ch i dressed as chucky birthday party whoa hang on you dressed as like what like you were oh wait no
those are animatronic right yeah he wasn't up there with the band the band playing that's what i just imagined right like in one of those dudes playing with
no uh i actually did you have to get the aids infected needles out of the ball pit
yes actually i'll say this about the ball pit it i learned but i never kept my daughter from
getting at them is that kids pissing shit in that
thing quite a bit and uh chunky cheese had this big thing above it that said ball wash and it had
a bunch of balls in it and like it was supposed to i never saw that thing work once i think it
was just there to convince parents Yeah. Just classic security theater where they're like, hey, they're cleaning those balls.
Yeah.
And we would climb, you know, there were times where I had to climb through the tubes and clean up shit that kids had tracked through and stuff like that.
It was not.
I worked in the game room fixing games.
I worked in the kitchen.
Wait a second.
So I knew they fixed those things.
They do.
Yes.
They fix the games.
It's mostly just unjamming tickets.
You know what I mean?
I see.
Like the tickets get jammed up because kids are pulling on them,
and you got to go in there.
How long did that job last?
And how old were you when you were doing it?
13 months, 16 years old, often on marijuana or LSD while I was there.
13 months, that's huge for a job like that you must have been the manager by the time you quit no you were you were coming into work
high on acid i mean like mentioning those two things like being high on weed at your job is
much different than being high on acid at your job.
That seems like that could make it hard to do your job.
I did it twice.
So one day I was there working in the kitchen.
So I wasn't in front of customers or anything.
And we were off in like three hours.
And I was like, I'm just going to take the acid now.
So it's working when I get out of when I clock out, you know, when he started already.
And I was tripping my balls off in the fucking kitchen making pizzas.
But it was really fun.
It like made me I don't know.
It gave me a mission as I was tripping.
But then there was another time where a bunch of me and a bunch of the guys from work would go and go to this guy's house.
would go and go to this guy's house and we would drop acid at like four o'clock in the morning or three o'clock and what like as an impulse just like let's just do some acid man it'll be fun and
then i came in one saturday i had to do the chucky routine on acid that time i didn't like
so what's the so you just what's the chucky we don't know what the Chucky routine is.
Well, you put the big suit on, and then you go out every...
Well, you put the big suit on.
So you were on acid, just like in a big, like a huge costume?
Right, and parents would be like, hey, can you hold my kids so we can get a
picture because they're it's the one year old's birthday or something like that so i'm like oh
you weren't allowed to talk so um you basically because if you talk in that suit you get fired
uh so you can do the hand thing but they'll be like come on and you're like i don't know how to say no more vehemently yeah i mean it's your it's literally your job yeah so i love those weird retail rules
they have you can get fired for anything like when i was at a movie theater if we didn't upsell
you on a soda like if we said if we didn't say can i get you a large for 50 cents more you were fired like if
you got caught it's like damn where will where will i find another minimum wage job i mean i
hate that though that confidence they have i like it now at least where i am the one thing i do like
is we have a little bit more power because there's you know they can't find enough people to work
yeah so they could never get away with that shit at the movie theaters now because they need fucking employees well and they didn't they they sort of didn't want they just didn't
want you to screw up chucky they didn't want something to happen where like somebody's in a
bad mood and they're in a chucky costume or someone's high or someone's high on acid right
the last thing i'll say about well i'm to give you a big story from when I worked there.
Last thing I'll say is like, I'll draw a picture for, I'll give you a picture in your mind for everybody.
I've posted pictures of me when I was a teenager online.
And if you've seen them, you know what I look like.
I'm often described as the guy who gives the guy's brother who gives the kid the acid or the the weed or
something they think i'm like looking like a drug dealer or something like that um i used to come in
on saturday they would have me do chucky so it would be 15 minutes every 45 minutes that i would
do it and then i would spend the rest of the time sitting in the back, smoking cigarettes and like half of the cost with the costume at all.
You were really,
that,
that is,
that is some more out of a movie stuff.
There's a lot of good movie scenes here.
You were crusty.
The clown.
Yeah.
Basically.
That's why like doink.
That's how they,
you know,
remember that's how they gave doink his name
brian you should know that if you watch the new dark side of the ring yeah well it was something
i did it was like a year and then it's like brian hasn't seen the new i've seen it i've actually
seen the one after that the adrian adonis i just watched that yesterday oh the adonis what i haven't
watched in that wasn't the one afterwards, actually.
It was the Junkyard Dog.
I watched JYD.
JYD.
Yep. Okay.
King of New Orleans.
Let's not get into wrestling because it sounds like you're a fan of,
don't tell me you're an AEW guy.
I just got tickets for All Out.
Very good tickets.
See, I'm a WWE guy.
Brian's AEW.
I've got that.
I'm sort of more of a, I'm into the classic. Brian's AEW. I've got that. I'm sort of more of a climb into the classic stuff.
Bruno Sammartino, you know, the old classic one-hour matches that ended in a draw.
Those are my favorite.
Brian loves the new stuff like Twinkle Toes and Pockets and all of the guys just destroying the legacy of what wrestling is and the K-fabe.
That's right.
I'm more of a Jim Cornette.
Oh, you're a corny boy as well?
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I grew up WWF and NWA.
I did not want to come out and say it because I didn't want to influence you,
but, yeah, I'm a big corny head.
When you said twinkle toes, I knew exactly what that was.
Yeah, I put those little hints in so my fellow
corny heads brian this by the way i just want you to know nothing makes brian more angry than when
i talk about wrestling and i mean half of the audience loves it because i go nuts about it
and then half of the audience is like agreeing with me like chris doesn't know anything well i
think i think you're discounting that a lot of the audience knows nothing about wrestling and absolutely hates
when it's brought up at all well i'll say this now so i'm working at chucky cheese
the tech there was a tech boss he was like the boss of the tech stuff yeah terry terry yeah Yeah, Terry. Terry, yeah. Yeah, sure. Tech Head Terry.
So he was the boss of the game room, basically.
His whole thing was he had power over the animatronics and the game room.
The rest of the place he had no power.
That's a lot of power right there.
He had like a little bit of technical knowledge.
Like he knew how to fix things was that his deal
yeah yeah and his name was mike and uh he was in his 30s when i was working there and he
came up to toot me and one of my friends and he was like hey you know i want to come over
the house later and watch me feed my steak and maybe smoke some weed so we did pretty cool and I do recall that I was I was invited over a couple
of times to places to watch somebody feed their snake I never actually accepted the offer I was
never interested in that but I got a couple invites I accepted the offer because he was
gonna smoke joints with us that's all you cared about you wanted to smoke joints I didn't care
about the thing i don't even
think i watched the thing get eaten i was like who cares you're willing you're willing to tolerate
the company of a man in his mid-30s so you could get free weed yeah you're like 30 in his lizard
room if i any chance have any gasoline and or jello shots that i could imbibe imbibe on this was pre jello shop
of course brian jello shop brian was when you became responsible
yeah you were an adult that's such a stereotype about reptile guys but it is true that a lot of
them are drug dealers oh yeah they do there there's a lot of them are drug dealers. Oh yeah, they do there. There's a lot of crossover between drugs and reptiles.
I would,
I thought you were going to say,
because I think they always want to show like feeding their thing is like
so important to them.
I feel like,
and it's the coolest thing to them watching an animal eat another live
animal.
You know,
a lot of the reptile guys I knew were just,
that was the huge
focus that's why they had it oh okay that's the allure okay because i never got it because it's
not like they don't snuggle up to you or lick your face or anything no yeah i guess a snake
you can put around your you know you can kind of it's like a cool accessory that's cool yeah but like an iguana or or i can't remember
what the name of the animals this guy on our screen professor herp uh this guy this if you
guys were looking at this guy's face right now by the way oh he looks like he's just gonna sit
like say the nerdiest shit to you in one moment um i mean komodo dragons he's talking about in this video but yeah i'm not sure
if that's what you're referring to well yeah he does uh he he let's give him a listen he looks
like he's into komodo dragons and age of consent laws a lot of this guy is definitely a libertarian
a lot of these guys are libertarian because the government is constantly sort of uh uh outlawing
reptiles oh exotic i was telling you yeah there yeah a lot of libertarian a lot of maybe reptile
people they were first reptile people then they became libertarians because they got so frustrated
that they you know han they were getting handcuffed on all the different reptiles they could buy and they thought this is this government overreach is insane yeah so therefore we
should not fund public schools yeah exactly it's so because i want to have a freaking
bearded dragon i mean i can't think of an exotic one well i'll i'll read this. Mad Chris 8828 in the comments of a video about how lizards help your mental health was talking here.
And he goes, there's such a weird stigma about reptiles, despite some being even as smart as birds.
Wait, wait, whoa, whoa.
Aren't birds like bird brain is like an insult.
Birds are known to be not that smart.
Well, you know, some birds, some birds are very smart, of course. like bird brain is like an insult. Birds are known to be not that smart. Wow.
No, some birds are very smart, of course.
You know, parrots and even, I think like,
even ravens and stuff, I guess birds are quite smart.
My dad was a bird guy.
That was, he had a parrot.
He brought home, when we were, I was probably five or six.
He brought home a parrot and it was probably five or six he brought home a parrot
and it was beautiful i had like a yellow head and a green body and uh and we were just sticking our
fingers in the cage trying to you know touch the pair and it just like bit us constantly like i
think it lasted a week before you get rid of it we had um i've never mentioned this definitely not on guys but when i was younger
i um my parents were i lived like part-time with my dad part-time with my mom so my dad on the
weekends and one christmas he bought two uh cockatiels like for us two birds one for my
brother one for me and he did great divorce dad move. Oh, yeah.
He did not research it very well, though.
And they are they live a very long time.
And also we called them Bob and Larry.
Turns out one of them was a male.
One of them was a female.
So they would just have like bird sex all day long.
It was just so loud and they never died.
And we weren't we were only over there on
the weekends yeah so all of a sudden now my dad just has these two birds that are always
fucking in the other room and making so much noise and they're gonna live longer than he is
oh no they lived like 20 something years i mean i think they who knows what kind of end they met
to be honest and i wouldn't i i mean hey, I love animals, but I can understand where my dad was coming from if he did murder those birds.
Well, here's a little from Reptile Mafia 2738.
He said, I think people should be able to own a Komodo, but they should get monthly checkups.
And I think lots of people could and would definitely take care of them, but that would help with the population. But people
should need a permit to own one just so little Timmy doesn't see one in the pet store and buy it,
LOL. But with the right care, someone could definitely own one. So, and then Mad Chris,
8828 goes, this is a very complicated topic for me. On one hand, I understand some animals are dangerous in captivity and probably need proper training to keep.
You think so?
But on the other hand, people who don't care about the laws won't go and obtain a permit to properly care for them to begin with.
So this is the gun argument.
But for Komodo dragon.
If reptiles are outlawed, only outlaws will have reptiles.
Yeah, all of a sudden now only the bad people get to have Komodo dragons.
All of the outlaws and your good, hard-working reptile owners like me,
we're the ones who suffer with not being able to have a Komodo dragon.
By the way, Komodo dragon, you can make the argument, is more deadly than a gun.
Oh, I mean, a Komodo dragon is a huge killing machine that, you know, takes down huge prey.
And I mean, listen, I think there definitely needs to be regulation on exotic animals.
Yeah, because the idea of just being able to have your Komodo dragon, like I don't know that my neighbor has a Komodo dragon.
Like what if I have children and stuff?
It's crazy because this woman here.
So he goes, permitting is probably good for educational purposes.
But I think people must hold their officials accountable for corrupt laws barring entry into buying animals, too.
This is a tough subject. I'm not sure what the best answer is. Great topic.
So GhostStratSarah goes, I was on the fence about Komodo dragons in private collections.
Figured if they were bred in captivity, they'd be fine.
And then I learned exactly what a Komodo dragon is.
So I was totally fine with it.
I thought, hey this just can't be
big issue and then i looked up what the thing was that we were talking about and i thought oh boy
oh hang on a second i mean she describes how dangerous they are here in a minute but uh she
he goes uh no they should not be kept as pets. I agree with requiring
permits for dangerous animals. Komodo dragons, especially, I honestly think only zoos,
scientists, and qualified sanctuaries should be legally allowed to have them captive.
So Mad Chris comes back. Either way, people will obtain them anyway right now wouldn't be doing it legally so first of all
i don't think you can obtain a komodo dragon i'm not totally sure wait can they are they
dangerous to people like are they big enough to like oh yeah kill a human being i i don't i don't
know about kill a human being but they're dead they're like 200 pounds they're like oh god oh they're they're
most definitely large enough to severely injure it but i think yeah and they would they would be
taking down pets all day long right well ghost rat ghost rat sarah did reply to this only outlaws
will be you know able to do it she goes do you know just how insane komodo
dragons are you bet your ass you got to be one of the richest people in the world to care for them
properly and safely like those things are the top land predators of the world not exaggerating you
get a tiny cut while near them and you're dead all you have to do is trip when in the vicinity
of one and by vicinity i mean within a mile, they run crazy
fast and can smell the smallest whiff of blood from an incredible distance. They're the great
white sharks of the land. If someone properly owned one, it's only a matter of time before they
or someone on their property dies a horrible death. Keeping a dragon as a pet is the equivalent of keeping a great white shark you can't do it um so she gave us a
little uh she gave us a little description of you know the type of killing power they had that's
that's exactly what i needed yeah this guy this guy professor herp looks like he's gonna get found
dead in his house after three months when the cops have to kick in the door because he
hasn't called his mom in in weeks that lady by the way i was just looking at a little bit that
lady is being a little bit dramatic okay okay they they run you know like 20 kilometers and
out like they don't run that fast and also there's only like, they don't kill people regularly.
In 2007, there was a young boy was killed on Komodo Island by a Komodo dragon.
But that was the first time in 33 years. So it's not a super regular thing.
It's not like, hey, you have a Komodo dragon, you're going to be killed.
Right.
But they keep them off of, like, continents, don't they?
Like, there's not a Komodo dragon to see in the united states i don't even think oh no oh no yeah like in the wild you mean yeah oh no no at the zoo
oh i think there might be at the zoo yeah there might be at the zoo i don't know let's check in
with um some etiquette for being a reptile guy from professor herp the name is so funny
he's got it on his shirt right by the way he's pulling the bub of the love sponge move great
branding great brand wearing his own shirt and he's got like a little message it says professor
herp but then the other part's too small to read and it's got some horrible logo oh the logo is is a lizard with a graduation cap
graduation cap wait i thought you're the professor though why are you i guess we're the lizards i
hope pop and circumstance is playing in the background this is very he is when you hear
his voice you will find out he's a certified guy should you contact a breeder without full intention
of purchasing more good voice you like the voice and by the way i do i you know he's got a lot of
the stuff going on for guy like so the background we're looking at is kind of his door and windows
set up and there's some type of a shelf there like just like a plywood
shelf and it has an old receipt on it right just various trash and when i say like not really that
far in the background like very prominent in the video there is a bunch of trash like just
carded trash it's it's it's the only other thing in the video with him There's a Petco receipt That's how close the trash is
That's a Petco receipt
Yeah, you can see what type of
Yeah, where he got it from
And of course it's a Petco receipt
This guy
This guy is what happens when dudes
Don't partner up and they get too old
They go feral like this
I do want to say I think he is partnered up.
Yeah, he's got a girlfriend.
Yeah, he's got a girlfriend.
Yeah, definitely.
This guy, he found somebody.
Professor Herb.
He does have an advanced degree.
I will say that I know that Herb is because reptile people are herpetologists.
Reptile people are herpetologists But you have to
Think outside
Of your small group of reptile
People to what Professor Herp
Sounds like to a guy like
Me who just learned herpetologist
Like three days ago
Yeah Professor Herp really
It sounds like
You know it sounds like some like
Silly way you would say the
Like
Maybe it sounds like some, like, silly way you would say the, like, or maybe it sounds like an STI or something like that.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Yeah, like something like that.
It sounds like, yeah, he's going to give you advice on flare-ups and how to manage them.
Yeah, Professor Herp will, hey, got a little itchier than usual down there? Contact Professor Herb.
Let's learn some etiquette here.
One of their animals. Should breeders answer questions from non-customers? Should breeders
be more open about sharing their knowledge, sharing their facilities? I know a lot of
people out there, especially probably a lot of breeders, disagree with that. Hey guys,
how's it going?
It's late here.
I waited too late in the day to record,
but I'm still getting this video out to you guys.
The lighting might be a little off because of that.
I don't usually record in here.
And just out of curiosity, does the microphone you use shuts off at a certain time as well?
And now you just have to go with the onboard?
Because this is a disastrous sound situation here
professor herp i think if i'm professor herp doing this video i'm taking the music out because of the
mic issue right like the background music is making it harder to hear him yeah i think if
i'm professor herp i'm gonna do a quick little tidy up as well of that shelf
behind me and just get that receipt off of there and everything he also has an urn over his shoulder
like he's about to summon the undertaker oh yeah in this very sparse room that we're in he does
seem to have an urn which is extremely fucking haunting this does feel like, I really like this aesthetic, which is early YouTube.
Like, this should be from, like, 15 years ago.
Like, this is, like, the fifth video ever posted to YouTube.
Yeah, the lighting is, like, the lighting is clearly coming from just one side of the room, you know?
So it's, like, lighting one side of him, kind know so it's like lighting one side of him kind of and he he
recognizes that like he's like he tried it a couple of times and this is the best he could
get the lighting so he knows he's like i should mention it i should say something about the
lighting it seems like the lighting is the light to light up the second shelf underneath the top
yeah it seems to be it might be a light from like a aquarium or something like that.
Even, you know, I don't know if he's in his, I've seen his aquarium,
aquarium room.
It's in his garage.
Oh really?
So he's got different.
This is, this is his earned room.
This is his far away from his girlfriend.
I feel like you're right.
I think this is an aquarium light.
I see a reflection in the door
that looks like some sort of aquarium or something that's what i think it has something in there that
is like requires that weird type of light or whatever it might this isn't where his actual
aquariums are but it's some type of a bin that has something in there like something living you know
yeah it's his grow operation that he abandoned six months ago
to get reptiles
he sold all of his weed and got
it's like Breaking Bad but
he was just selling his weed so he could own
reptiles
Professor Hurt
well sometimes I do but hopefully
it'll be fine today we're going to be talking
about breeders the etiquette with them
etiquette
did this motherfucker, the etiquette with them. Etiquette?
Did this motherfucker just say etiquette?
I don't know.
I sometimes get in trouble with this.
Is that like a way you can pronounce it some places?
No, I'm going back. Is etiquette when you just stop being polite?
Yeah.
Here he goes.
The etiquette with them oh professor herp
only watched what only read that word he's never ever read out loud yeah and he's been saying it
that way for a long time you know but it's like the people around him didn't say anything quick
enough and now they feel weird mentioning it Everybody else at the call center doesn't have the heart to break it to them,
all the coworkers.
Etiquette.
I have never heard it pronounced.
Like etiquette is a word that's out there.
Yeah, etiquette is a pretty famous word, yeah.
What they kind of owe to the community and such like that
and how you should really be approaching them there's a
lot of controversial questions i have here that i want to answer and talk to you guys about make
sure you let me know what you think in the comments i want to hear feedback on sort of my
opinions i think there's just a lot going on here and i hear a lot of people who really don't know
how to approach certain situations so let's get to it before we do make sure to check the top right hand corner i got my
professor herp t-shirt reptile education humor passion so that's what it says yeah reptile
dot education dot humor dot passion that's cool i didn't even know that he was gonna do humor so that is actually
very cool he is doing the weird like zoom in you know that early youtube thing where it's like the
cuts are one like a little bit closer you know so it's like a quick zoom almost is it nolan
no it's not nolan nolan is like the slow zoom towards him as it's as this is No, it's not Nolan. Nolan is like the slow zoom towards him.
This is like where it's like every cut he's doing,
he's zooming it a little bit on the cut, you know?
So it gives it sort of that aesthetic.
It's weird because he has all of those things going,
but he doesn't have the audio or the video or the background
or any of those things that you would associate with this type of video no
it seems like he's doing it on his phone to me maybe yeah he could be it could just be a laptop
but it's it's whatever it is he's yeah he's all very obviously using the onboard microphone yeah
and yeah i i even say it's not the phone because i think the onboard microphone
on the phone would sound better than this true let's hear the adequate let's find out the
adequate of owning reptile in the other day tons of different designs up there for all right he's
got a lot of different designs what's the level of professor herb like how many subscribers do
you know do you have that information?
Probably more than Opie.
Yep.
13.4.
Wow.
Not bad.
So he's doing okay. That makes me feel better about sort of goofing,
laughing about him and stuff.
He's doing okay.
You know,
he's probably selling a couple of these shirts.
Even it's not enough to make a living,
but just enough to,
for him to waste his life,
like trying to water this little garden.
Cause he's getting just enough interaction.
But it might be all he's looking for.
You know what I mean?
I mean, hey, he's not looking to...
I mean, obviously, he'd love to pop off
and get into the big time,
but maybe this is enough for him,
and it's enough where you're not feeling like
so many of these people,
hey, I'm just doing this for nobody, you know?
He's got real people who are watching this.
He has an audience. He's some people you know he's annoying and i when i you
know i'm i'm really upset about his audio and video but he is maybe helping people yeah he's
definitely not a tyler nolan which is uh the top guy or clint's reptiles who is also another top
guy um okay let's watch it can we learn a little bit so you you've learned about the guys that Or Clint's Reptiles, who is also another top guy.
Let's watch it.
Can we learn a little bit?
So you've learned about the guys.
There is like, yeah, there's the one guy.
What's the guy's name?
Tyler Nolan.
No, no, there's another guy who has so many.
Did I lose you, Chris?
Oh, no, you cut out, Chris.
Oh, he cut.
Sad. I cut out? Am I i not you're back you're back
oh what the heck i cut out yeah i don't know what happened brother um so we got uh tyler nolan is a
big one he's like the big guy brian barsik that's the one brian barsick was the one i was thinking of can i tell you the
interesting thing about tyler nolan i have to say is that uh he has been bitten by a king cobra
before and he almost died uh from and he did a video about king cobras and what it was like to
bite and he said people are trying to buy
this video off of me but i want to show it on my own terms hell yeah that's his content
this is mine i don't want a and e to do it um that must give you so much cred though you know
yeah oh getting bit by yeah a venomous by king cobra and living to tell about it was it a stunt for his channel like
he said it was raining outside and it made the king cobra act a little weird and then it bit him
and then he had to get 27 doses of anti-venom in order to which we can learn a little bit about
that too actually because i did go to venomous steaks our reddit venomous snakes subreddit
and uh there was a interesting question uh where the guy goes uh has anyone ever received an
anti-venom for a snake bite if so what was your experience of it i'm curious did it help with the
pain or swelling did it save your life well i mean i mean yeah if you did experience it and obviously right there
yeah details about which snake and anti-venom will be very interesting to learn about
i was i was bit by a snake anti-venom didn't work passed away yes okay this is his cousin typing
yeah this is this is actually SnakeGuy35's mom typing.
Also, I want to teach a little bit.
I always want to teach a little bit.
Snake, people that collect venomous snakes, the snakes are called hots.
They're called hots.
And then their colds are the other ones?
Maybe, no. Because the other type of so like
it doesn't seem like people want to own i mean it does seem like a people want to own smaller
snakes or whatever but it seems like the the most reptile guy type of guys either want a hot snake
or they want one that can squeeze you to death so they want one they want one that can squeeze you to death. They want one that can kill you. The Joe exotics of the reptile world.
Yeah, like just having a little frickin' corn snake or whatever.
Maybe, I don't know if that's venomous.
But, you know, just having like that doesn't do it for them.
That's not, they need something that at any moment, like if it does get out, they need to be in danger.
Yes.
that at any moment like if it does get out they need to be in danger yes
and you you will see so many stories about because you know it's not a big deal if they get out and it's just inside the house it becomes a problem when it gets outside the house and you're
you're really supposed to report it immediately if your poisonous snake gets out of the house i would not
i would not many times they don't i would do the classic like start whistling put my hands in my
pockets kind of wander away i would do i would say that that would be my move out of town just
move somewhere else i would just yeah i would obviously i would just
get some sort of surgery and just change my identity and move on yeah there was a guy
that i was reading about yesterday he's a famous uh tiktoker in north carolina which
is a state where the laws are very liberal about what kind of uh exotic reptiles and snakes you're
allowed to own like you don't have to get a permit you don't have to get anything to to get a venomous
snake there so there was this tiktoker this venomous snake tiktoker and he was he would play
with the fucking things like you're you're supposed to use one of those hooks you know oh yeah grab them with your
hand or swing them by the tail or grab them by the you're not supposed to do that stuff so he
was doing it on tiktok because it was like you will get a ton of just even casual reptile fans
or people that aren't into reptiles you'll get them looking if you're playing with a
fucking king cobra or black mamba you know what i mean just in your bare hands it's not as cool
to play with them with a hook uh this guy's out in his and you're supposed to stay in the house
or in the enclosure while you're playing with a poisonous snake like you with a like you're
supposed to stay wherever they are so that if they get out of
your hands or bite you they can't get out you know what i mean so this guy's playing with the snake
in his driveway and it just gets away and then somebody finds it he was like uh oh yeah i meant
to report that um they find it four months later this thing's been slithering around the neighborhood
and he's like i meant to i i thought i did three dogs have died yeah
yeah i i actually when i was younger there was a guy in town who
used to play with his snake in the driveway as well yeah we call them jack off pete so serpent serpentarian answers the question here about if he's ever had a venomous thing
he go yeah a couple of times had 26 vials on the first one one vial for the other one first one
saved my life the pain was helped with dilaudid or some other heavenly intravenous selection.
Which, hey, you know, I like that.
I like that.
Reloader 300 WM says 26 files.
That sounds like a lot.
As someone who has no frame of reference, what tagged you if you don't mind sharing?
Now, he didn't answer that.
But NXM Fat Daddy answered the question.
This is, I'm giving you guys some real reptile, this is a reptile Redditor.
Like, just when you hear me read this thing.
Never needed it, Lucky.
My only two doses of reptilian spicy spit has been from a Gila monster and a copperhead.
Neither required its use now my uncle took a
timber rattler bite in an unfortunate place and required quite a few vials tons of pain meds too
dumb fool wanted to try and walk it off didn't work don't screw around with rattlesnake pipes
sounds like he got bit on his dick yeah well 100 sounds like our friend there is trying to fuck a
rattlesnake.
Stick my dick in a
rattlesnake's mouth.
It's always got its tongue out.
Let's check in
here with
Professor Herb.
Really cool stuff. I appreciate you
checking it out and purchasing one if you
like it. Also, make sure you check out the Herb Hour on cool stuff. I appreciate you checking it out and purchasing one if you like it. Also,
make sure you check out the Herb Hour on
twitch.tv. We're live.
So check out the Herb Hour
everybody. A man from Streamer.
Hell yeah. Yeah.
Fellow Streamer. Very cool.
Wiccans, Wicked Reptiles.
Oh, I like him too.
Okay, so that's
I guess he's on his stream there.
Yeah, it looks like it.
They get together and they talk reptiles on twitch.tv slash, I can't remember the name now, the Herb Hour?
Yeah, the Herb Hour.
Yeah, okay.
Every Saturday, 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time with guests.
It's a lot of fun.
We've been doing it quite a lot now, and I don't know. It's a lot of fun. We've been doing it quite a
lot now. And I don't know, it's just been really enjoyable. So check us out. Let's get to the video
though. Okay, so let's start off with what I think is the most controversial question of the bunch I
have. And that should you contact a breeder without full intention of purchasing one of their animals?
And I wait, wait, what? This can't be a controversial question.
As soon as you contact them, you have to be like 100% serious about buying.
Like you've committed then?
That's crazy.
It does feel that way.
Like that it doesn't seem unethical to call somebody and ask how much the uh poisonous snake is are breeders like the guys who
work in a gas station catching you read a magazine like sorry this isn't a library fellas you read it
you bought it yeah what is what who what is the deal with these if you look at the magazine you
have to buy it they're gods really in the in the so I'll do a little bit of explaining about the breeders
too. In a lot of states,
you need to get a permit to own
hots. Again, that's venomous snakes
for everybody. I'm quite a reptile guy.
I just call them hots
mostly. You have to
get a permit. Now, you have to
make a plan for what you'll
do if your hot snake gets
out of the house, your venomous snake. If it gets out, you got to make a permit plan and you'll do if your hot snake gets out of the house your venomous snake if it
gets out you got to make a permit plan and write it in writing and bring it to the government what
whatever the agency is right but the there's a one other part of the plan does that have to be a good
plan i mean i doubt it you do you think the people that work in the government agency know what a
good plan would be depends on what state you're in yeah yeah the other requirement though is you need to have an internship of a
thousand hours with another person who has venomous snakes so the breeders are guys that
were able to pull that off and they become like sort of gods oh they've got yeah
because they've got some sort of certification now or a hurdle that they've jumped over yeah
right a hurtful a hurtful but i think it is like so they become like these sort of gods because
when you watch a lot of breeder videos i do oh yeah different kind of video but i do
this is a sex guy over here well no listen watching porno is different than being a sex
guy i want to clarify that okay i mean knowing the different types of porno is kind of like
oh you know the different types of porno what What do you do when you got a jack?
I don't do that.
What?
No, he's Brian.
What he's doing is he's lying because we have this sort of rivalry where we both accuse each other of being a sex guy.
So he's now pretending to.
It's a lie.
Those aren't the sleeves of somebody who doesn't watch porno.
Thank you.
I don't wear sleeves anymore.
I've quit that.
He was not giving you a compliment there, by the way.
No, that's good.
These are cool.
Let me just say that a lot of the breeders that are on youtube make videos about why they don't mentor
people because it's easier for the guy to go in and clean up the cages and take care of the
animals when it's just him and he's certified and then if he has to bring in an apprentice
he has to have that person do a certain amount of stuff he has to
teach that person so it's incredibly hard to get a permit in states where you need the mentorship
so yeah like a thousand hours is a lot of hours too you know it's a decent amount so you have to
put some time into it and yeah if they're not willing to do it and there's no like uh you know program in place
and it's just you're just relying on them you know doing that out of the kindness of their heart and
and they only stand to lose from having more certified people that it doesn't seem like it's
incentivized in any kind of way to work right so when you call a breeder and you have questions you need to call them like they're
like a religious deity all you have to say like oh breeder may you answer my questions please
today sir i have two questions for you sir may you take my time i really appreciate it all you do sir
that's what it sounds like to me that's the whole time this would be a great prank call series that would be chris
oh yeah that's what i i do prank phone calls for a living actually i have a channel where i do
prank phone calls but yeah i wonder i guess this is kind of i usually go after like politicians
and stuff well you could just check in with breeders you know check in with tyler nolan
find the tyler nolan he's a tattoo artist too He's a tattoo artist too. He's a tattoo artist
snake. I do know his uncle.
Michael?
It's wrong, Nolan.
Did you see Michael
Nolan yesterday as panicking because
somebody's going to own 10% of
Led Zeppelin's catalog?
I didn't see that.
He's melting down.
I think you should.
I don't know one person out there who would go and spend several hundreds of dollars on something without researching it first.
You want to see pictures of the parent.
You want to know about this breeder a little bit more, see how they talk.
You'll get a sense of how reputable they are.
So I think, you know, breeders, number one, you should be open to that.
I know it's already happening.
A lot of times you get contacted and people don't end up buying anything.
It stinks because that's really what's driving your livelihood and stuff.
But you really need to be there for customer questions.
I do think if you are a customer, you should go in with the full intention of buying one of their animals.
If the questions are answered to your satisfactory
and stuff like that i guess to your satisfaction is what i would go with
i i do sort of listen he yeah as part of selling things sometimes people don't buy them like i
mean you know you like run a store or whatever people come in and then they
look around and they don't buy something it's frustrating but it's not something you can really
get rid of yeah these breeders are acting like high-end car dealers or so i don't know there's
a lot of yeah like even at a high-end car dealer they understand that too that people come in yeah
they're they're the sort of i think it speaks to what brian was saying
before that these they're really gods you know they really have this arrogance yeah they're the
somalias of the reptile world like in this like because every little community of guys
that we've found there have been like sort of leaders or top guys you know you look at the
sex guys and you got your uh tom and bunny who run tom's trips who brings people over to sex clubs
and stuff like does these big parties at sex clubs and shit you look at your classic rock guys you
got your michael noland who uh you know spends his whole day thinking about different things he can
talk about with the beatles in uh 2023 and uh so we've had a lot of people edc guys we listen to
an ed everyday carry guy who had the most perfect everyday carry because he you know he had a lighter
so if somebody wants to fight him you can give him a cigarette and stuff like that like explaining so there's these gods in these communities
where you know if i met him i'd be like okay whatever reptile guy you know like yeah like
you wouldn't be that impressed but in this world like this there's like you know pappy van winkle
or whatever you know whatever whatever those guys
are their name that family that just sort of runs things there they could have this incredible
amount of respect now is professor herp is he a breeder no no he's not i don't think so he's
ever had success with it is the way that i heard him talk about it in a couple of other videos.
He's just about the education, humor, and passion.
Yes.
That is exactly it.
I found this on a website called kingsnakes.com.
And this is from King O Reacts.
And I'm going to read you this thing that I think you guys are going to love.
So, I'm visiting Florida for spring break and really wanted to get a new snake.
They're a lot cheaper here than they are in Southern California.
And a friend of mine is a gecko breeder who knows a guy who only breeds red-tailed boas.
He said he'd sell me one of the two-month-old babies
that doesn't have the best pattern,
parentheses, which I don't really mind,
it's still beautiful, for $30.
Which is great, because the cheapest I found them for
was $100.
The only problem is that the airline
doesn't allow snakes on planes.
Ah, yeah, ever since that big incident in 2000-whatever,
you know, that's when they sort of put an end to that.
Raised awareness.
Yeah, it was.
I remember when I was younger, I would fly and it was like you'd regularly see snakes.
Like, you know, there'd be a snake over here, a snake in the overhead, snakes everywhere.
That was back when we were free.
Yeah.
Back when we were free to bring as many snakes as we wanted onto the planes and then there was the big incident on the planes and
you know the motherfucking snakes dude yeah that when was this written the thing that they're
talking about like okay so this is well after this is a s a s this is after snakes uh he goes uh you have to pay 125 to have them
shipped underneath the animal cargo bay which is stupid considering dogs up to 70 pounds are
allowed for free if they are quote emotional support dogs well we know a guy that gets real
mad about that and his name is uh sebastian manoscolo uh
maniscalco and whatever he's oh i saw those in the airport uh i was in new york and i saw a
bunch of service dogs and like people who clearly weren't blind yeah i was like oh this you just
wanted to bring your dog yeah on the plane why can't i just i thought you saw matt sebastian maniscalco at the airport
i wish now but he would be in a different terminal with the private wherever they fly private for
sure yeah very rich why can't i just put them in a sealed pillowcase in a box with air holes
yeah steal a pillowcase haven't you ever haven't you ever watched 1980s WWF?
I mean, you put them in a freaking pillowcase,
and they can't get out, these snakes.
Yeah.
Make sure no big fat guy jumps on it and kills it.
Well, was it Andre that killed it?
Earthquake.
Oh, Earthquake.
Oh, of course.
John Tenta.
Yes, of course. RIP.p yeah that's a sad one when you
see wrestling that was when wrestling was wrestling yes i mean it was good you should
you should if you've never watched it uh look up earthquake and then look up his age in the picture
and it's incredible you'll see like pictures i'm where he looks like 63 but he's like 24
do you want to know what's something? I think I could be mistaken
about this, and people do get mad. I love
to say things are invented
in Vancouver, and they actually aren't.
People get really mad at me about this,
but I do believe that this gentleman,
John Tenta, is from local.
He's local. I knew he was Canadian.
Oh, I didn't know he was Canadian.
He grew up in Surrey, British Columbia,
so he grew up in the lower mainland or right around where I live.
Look, I'm a Tenta guy.
Tenta got me into wrestling, actually.
Oh, really?
Oh, wow.
Well, the Hulk Hogan earthquake was my first.
The big SummerSlam feud.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, that was my first kind of like, wow, this is crazy.
But yeah, Tenta jumped on Jake the the snake snake at one point and killed it
it's so sad to hear somebody getting into wrestling based on these classic rivalries
with like earthquake and hogan and stuff and now all of a sudden they're watching guys who wrestle
blow-up dolls you know i know it's terrible uh why can't i just put them in a sealed pillowcase
in a box with air holes and then put them in the bottom of my backpack
if it's way quieter than a dog
but yeah does anybody know of a way
to smuggle him on
the airport I'm flying out of has the newer
security at the gates
where you stand with your arms up
I'm pretty sure he would move around if he was on my
body but maybe somehow in my
bag
so
trying to sneak the snake on a He was on my body, but maybe somehow in my bag.
That's trying to sneak some person trying to sneak a snake on a plane.
In their carry-on, I guess, through an x-ray.
Yeah.
What could go wrong?
Yeah, there's just nothing really that you can do. But yeah, he goes, that's out.
If I buy him and take him to a psychiatrist,
I can get him officially registered as an emotional support snake.
But with insurance, a psychiatrist would cost $90.
So that's not going to work.
Yeah.
You can just buy it at home then.
Yeah.
You got to buy it at home.
That's going to be your answer here.
I mean, it costs you $20 more to try to convince somebody that you need a lizard on you at all times.
So let's see what Professor Herb.
I definitely don't think you should go in, ask questions about one of the animals that they're posting about, and have $2 in your bank account.
You're obviously not going to end up buying it.
That's not really your problem.
Come on, brother.
Listen, I'm not doing so well financially.
Yeah.
Herb is absolutely on my fucking tits now about my financial situation and don't be showing up
here if you got two dollars in your bank account maybe i get paid on friday herp we don't all have
tenure professor herp yeah sorry professor herp jeez god damn no yeah i know how do you know i
don't have money in my savings account?
You know?
Yeah, maybe I got it on credit.
Yeah, I'll do a credit card
for my...
I'll put myself in debt to buy a fucking
Komodo dragon.
I'm going to ask...
This is a question that was asked
on VenomousKeepers.com
or VenomousKeepers on reddit has anyone had a baby slash
young kids with hots in the house so yeah has anybody brought a poisonous snake in the house
with the young children how did it go um yeah anybody have a good story about that? I've heard a lot of bad ones. I was looking for something to counterbalance that. Just some positive stuff. Listen, I know in Canada, like 10 years ago, famously, a python escaped from a pet store in New Brunswick and killed two kids who were at a sleepover so it is like really
something that's not a that's not a hot that's you know that's just like a large yeah but sorry
that's a retic a retic like a reticulated python yeah they call them retics and okay
it might not have been i think it was a ball python maybe it was a reticulator you might might have been a burmese it might have been a berm yeah okay yeah it's piss it's annoying me
the way you're just like casually throwing in those words but yeah it was a really sad
horrible story like two kids having a sleepover and this you know the pet store was attached to
whatever um you know houses or apartments or whatever and yeah so it could
definitely happen you have some huge giant dangerous snake around people they can kill
them sometimes my fiancee and i have near 40 snakes most of which are various venomous species
from around the world as well as a berm and a retake now let me just say that's too many snakes like i think
if somebody was like i have a king cobra uh i keep it in a room with the door locked in a tank
and i don't let my kid go in that room unless i'm there like all that stuff right like i think that
is probably fine now when you get to 40 that's fine i mean it's better than 40 no i know
it is better but i just i i don't think it's fine i think if you have um if you have because
children like i guess you can lock a room but like you know what i mean children will like try
to get into places like that like you have some area that's off limits and the thing they're not
supposed to do their tendency is to try to do that thing
they will 100 as a as a parent yes they will get into that room to see that deadly snake like
that's like catnip for them yeah so i just think that it's a bad idea in general to have a poisonous
snake in the house with young children it's also another case where like i mean it's safer to like have one gun in your
house than one poisonous snake that could get out and kill everybody in the house yeah i mean i
would say unless i'm a canadian so we're not the gun culture is not so much but i yeah i i go with
the i go with the neither i don't have a snake or a guy you're saying you hear a lot of people say that
if you have kids in the house you shouldn't have a gun in the house and it's like now this person's
like yeah this person's like well what if i have 40 poisonous snakes and some that can squeeze my
child to death is that okay is that i don't have a gun um i guess it depends on how attached you are to your kids Honestly, do you really love your kids?
Then I would say probably not
And also it's funny because you maybe should have a gun in that circumstance
That would make things safer if you had a gun to shoot one of these pythons as it killed your child
All of them are in the room right next to our bedroom we just bought this house
and we're getting married next month so it's not far off to say we'll be having kids in the next
year or two our families keep telling us we'll change our minds and want not even our five dogs
anywhere near our baby when we have one god damn man what are you that's a zoo you're that's really playing as a baby you're playing in hardcore
mode coming into that house five dogs like and and 40 poisonous snakes yeah this seems like
maybe we're not like maybe it's this huge giant sort of like you know but yeah that seems like too many of animals it's so it's so fucking crazy to have
and we don't know all the animals right because like they could have other reptiles snakes are
only one kind of rep they're not naming all the animals in their house is what i'm saying they
got five dogs and 40 snakes i would just not have kids i would think i just wouldn't have kids i'm picturing a scene
in their life like they get honey don't be mad i've got good news and i've got bad news okay so
the bad news is that one of the dogs was eating one of our babies but the good news is one of our pythons killed the dog before the dog was able to devour and
kill our child so the child is still alive that's that is good here's here's another one from
mediocre chris uh which is that you why oh that's interesting that's interesting that's it feels
like and brian has we're not looking at any of this he could
just be making the name up for the purpose of making right we don't know we have no idea no
we have no idea so he's like mediocre chris because i noticed one of the other names was
angry chris well it seems like chris is very much it also seems like possibly you are trying to like get messages to me
through these names that you are making up where you're like,
Chris,
you're a bit too angry.
Chris,
you're not really,
you know,
you're not really carrying your weight.
Here's another post from Brian's who spell it with an eye or pieces of
shit.
A hypothetical,
a hypothetical.
No,
I don't get that one.
Easy, Professor Herp.
Hypothetical, everyone.
Hypothetical.
Should we get a spelling on that?
H-Y-P-O-L-T-H.
Wait, hypo.
Yeah, T-H.
I guess it just doesn't matter.
We can just move on.
Yeah, because that's what you're going to want to reply to on Twitter.
A hypothetical, everyone.
A hypothetical.
I do think you would need a gun in the house, though, if you had that many snakes and a baby.
Because you would need it to shoot yourself when the authorities come for you.
Oh, yes.
For killing your kid.
Yeah, you want that or a cyanide pill just to end things really quick.
Like the Nazis used to have.
Totally, totally.
Yeah, I think it is safe to say in my head that somebody who has all those dogs and snakes does have a gun as well.
But I could be wrong.
Just start playing with one of the snakes you love the most.
You know, if the cops come, just like hugging on a snake.
Yeah, just show them that like some snakes are actually very nice and deadly.
Like it would just bite your face.
That's the way they a lot of them seem to want to go.
Oh, you're saying you're saying hug the snake.
So the snake kills you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got you.
You think that's how most of them would want to go, right?
I don't know.
It's interesting to think like, yeah, like Timothy Treadwell.
I wonder if that was like, I guess that's how he wanted to go. The grizzly man, you know?
Yeah. I don't think he wanted his girl to get killed, too.
But yeah, I feel like he wanted to go that way.
Yeah. He was like, I'm going to get eaten by a bear.
So so here's the hypothetical question for you, especially for people who don't have venomous animals.
hypothetical question for you especially for people who don't have venomous animals what would you do if you ordered a non-venomous snake online and the vendor sent you a venomous one instead
well that's the dumbest question i ever heard like what does that even mean like they send you the
wrong snake i think you would send it back and get another one they send snakes in boxes chris like
you can go on youtube and even Professor Herb has some
unboxings of snakes.
They just ship them in the mail, I think.
Is what it seems to be.
Because I saw a bunch of boxes
with snakes in them.
I saw them opening boxes with snakes.
Because they don't have to eat all the time.
So you can just ship those fuckers all over
the place.
One of the answers to this is nxn fat daddy and he was like i've been playing with hot since i was 14 i had some
health problems recently so i guess it depends on the species anything that's not in the speed
category of nearly teleporting most likely keep it double so if it's an agastrodon or a crotalus species i get all sappy thinking about my youth
around copperhead specifically so it's he's saying basically that but why did he mention
he's had health problems recently he can't be faster than a fast snake i think is what he's
trying to say i was like i thought he was like saying like yeah i grew up with poisonous snakes and recently i've been having a lot of serious health problems but i
would still suggest it i've had i vertis planetay said i've had bags mislabeled on wc imports before
i don't know what wc is bag labeled house snakes ends up being cobras but i was also half expecting it
because well exporters lol lol i love that i love when the in the community when you're like
exporters right we all know right and everyone's like yeah we all know and then you're reading it
from the outside you're like what the fuck are you talking what about exporters it sounds terrifying too it sounds like i was getting house snakes and
it ended up being cobras it's like that is oh yeah we've all been there where you order house
snakes and it turns out a king cobras we'll check in with professor herb one more time and uh
close the door and uh before we close the door on this, I got to say, this was the Patreon choice episode.
Every month or so, you get to pick the Patreon.
Patreon.com slash MurderXBrian gets to pick the episode.
And they have made it hard.
The first one was South Park guys.
And then this one, Reptile guys.
And so the next one is going to be either,
let me know how you guys feel about these guys, you know.
Where the fuck is, okay, here we go.
Kevin Smith guys, which that's Chris.
Sorry?
You're a Kevin Smith guy, I believe.
What? No, why are you saying
that oh that's so insulting you like movies oh i like movies yeah and when i was younger i liked
i liked the kevin smith movies because i think everyone did around that time you know when mall
rats and clerks or whatever were out but i i fell out of contact with kevin smith many many years
ago and i was never like a huge fan big fan of cop out really likes red state and tusk so no i do i
knew i do know what those movies are so that is a little bit disqualifying for me the next one is ayahuasca guys okay so this is that's arrowhead is that like mushrooms
or acid or something yeah i mean ayahuasca is ayahuasca yeah but i ayahuasca is like a
drug like okay yeah it's a very like rich person like what what Aaron Rodgers did before he decided to go to the Jets.
Yeah, exactly.
That type of thing.
So I feel like that would be fun because, yeah,
it would be similar to Arrowwood Guys,
but that was such a fun episode,
and this is sort of a whole different level.
Get Jesse to come on the Ayahuasca Guys episode.
Yeah.
Because he'll never do Ayahuasca.
News guys, parentheses, viewers, not the guys on tv okay i like that
one people i mean should that that one's kind of wide ranging though you know i think it's
going to be local news guys i'll put local in there actually i think we're going to go with
local news nowadays that news is always you know it's like such a huge part of everything now yeah and metallica guys this last
one okay metallica guys wow those are still around uh yeah i love please vote metallica guys everyone
i would love to because i want to talk about that guy what's that little weird little drummer that
they have lars lars who like started the whole nat like anti-napster thing oh yeah yeah
that was always so fascinating to me they have a very active fan club in 2023 like very very active
like they have their sort of own social media site they have like any kind of merch you could
ever want they have local chapters of the metallica fan club oh wow we can find the vancouver metallica
fan club fans the columbus you know wow okay that'd be good they it's crazy how how because
like metallica they're the reason i put them on the list was right around super bowl time it seems
that like a lot of metallica fans believe that they should play halftime at the Super Bowl. And so every time they announce the halftime of the Super Bowl, the Metallica guys are like, oh, it should have been fucking Metallica.
So I think it's a cool thing to do on behalf of your favorite band.
Like, why do they need like who cares?
Yeah.
Believe me.
I do want to see if I can find it.
I had like the price for how much doses of the anti-venom was that I wanted to give before I get out of here.
I think I lost it.
I think so.
I got it.
So there's like people because I was thinking of the anti-venom as being given out at like a hospital.
No.
I was thinking of the anti-venom as being given out at a hospital.
No.
But you're saying that there's people who just handle hots,
and they just can get their own anti-venom,
so that if they do get bit, then they just take their own.
No.
I will say that most of them don't have anti-venom.
And when you get bit by a hot snake, you have to call.
I heard Tyler Nolan got bit by the, uh, fucking Cobra. So I listened to this video of how it happened. Right. And, uh, first he says, it's very lucky that it happened
on election day, 2016, because, you know, people weren't paying attention to anything except for
like Trump winning the election. So he didn't become a meme like a florida
man meme so that was really good for him so the first person he called was his lawyer
and then the next person he called was the hospital like to get his affairs in order
no no because he was worried about what the state was gonna Oh, I see the legal ramifications of it.
Okay.
And then he had to call ahead at the hospital. And then the hospital had to put him on like.
So they could laugh.
Oh, well, yeah.
Yeah.
Because the hospitals don't carry anti-venom either for snakes that aren't native.
Oh, my God.
So they have to find it.
They,
they generally will contact a zoo and then the anti-venom from the zoo has to
be shipped or flown to the hospital or driven to the hospital.
And then they can give you the anti-venom.
And again,
it takes like 26 shots at the anti-venom and they were,
they were talking about prices for them like 700 a shot a vial so
that guy got extremely fucking like he learned a real lesson about the health care system
like 15k or something was a lot yeah she is fucking lot and again it takes like so much
anti-venom it's like you're you you sure some
people get one but a lot of people have to do like 30 and they don't even have it so they had
to what fly it in from southeast asia or something yeah no i mean they so yeah i think you just want
to go straight to the zoo then but you know well no hang on i thought of a even a better uh like a
better thing that you could do is not have fucking poisonous snakes.
Not hold a King Cobra in your hand?
Yeah, don't do that.
Well, it was very fun.
I was not nervous about this episode one minute in.
I think we had a lot of good times here, and people will enjoy it.
I think we had a lot of good times here and people will enjoy it.
They were,
I,
this is recorded the week that the hype beast episode comes out,
came out.
And I'm getting a lot of people who are like with their heads in their hands,
hearing us talk about how much we had spent on stuff.
So that was,
I wasn't glad I was not there.
Did not have to divulge any of the prices of any of the stuff that I bought.
I am the working class host.
I am the working class hero
