Speaker 1: We were just talking about where Jalen Green will end
Speaker 1: up if he's not with the Rockets next season, the
Speaker 1: young talented star for the Houston Rockets, and I.
Speaker 2: Just happen to see this.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because my phone is listening to our conversation,
Speaker 1: but it is the Bravada official odds of the best
Speaker 1: places or places most likely to end up, and the.
Speaker 2: Top one is the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Oh somehow, Okay, I think they do that because they
Speaker 3: can get action on anything Lakers.
Speaker 1: Then that would make sense why the Knicks would also
Speaker 1: be in the mix and the Heat would be in
Speaker 1: the mix.
Speaker 3: I think the Heat probably makes some sense, although I
Speaker 3: could see a guy like Jalen Green making pat Riley
Speaker 3: when it smash his head through a wall.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I just want to let you know that popped up.
Speaker 2: We got the Today game coming up.
Speaker 1: We got a news quickie coming your way, a realtor
Speaker 1: with a foot fetish, So.
Speaker 2: That's right up your alley skin should be excited about that.
Speaker 1: But right now it's time for this the wildlife.
Speaker 4: Wild life what an intro Tim Freed is a fellaw
Speaker 4: who's been bitten by snakes hundreds of times, but on purpose.
Speaker 5: In fact, I might call it his kink.
Speaker 4: Scientists are studying his blood now though, because they're trying
Speaker 4: to see if we have I got an email hold
Speaker 4: on us.
Speaker 3: Who's it from? Let's see Bravada inside radio. Oh man,
Speaker 3: I don't get enough of those.
Speaker 5: No audio, Christinity, Sorry, that's why I thought you brought that.
Speaker 4: It's a first look at the ratings in Tulsa, Honolulu,
Speaker 4: in Knoxville, if you guys like to know.
Speaker 3: Man, I think the Adamsons are going to move to
Speaker 3: Maverick stole three of those cities.
Speaker 2: They're smaller than Dallas.
Speaker 5: Okay, So.
Speaker 4: Basically he has This guy's had a long for all times,
Speaker 4: had a fascination with reptiles and other venomous creatures. In fact,
Speaker 4: the article I read said that he used to milk
Speaker 4: scorpions and spiders.
Speaker 5: For their venoms.
Speaker 2: Scorpions have boobs.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, and it's got venom.
Speaker 2: They have very poison movies. Poisonous boobies. The most dangerous guy.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, Man, you'll be milk and a scorpions boob and
Speaker 3: it'll sting you.
Speaker 4: That's why they're their Their jugs are so top heavy.
Speaker 4: That's why their tail goes up and around to kind
Speaker 4: of balance out their spine.
Speaker 2: You notice that, I didn't notice that interesting.
Speaker 5: You've never noticed that about a scorpion.
Speaker 3: Do the boobs go inside their crusty exoskeleton?
Speaker 4: No, I don't say crusty, and don't say exoskeleton. So
Speaker 4: he's been doing this for a long time as a hobby.
Speaker 4: He keeps dozens of snakes at his home. He's so,
Speaker 4: he said, he's into this venom stuff. It's very strange.
Speaker 4: So he said. He started doing this to protect himself
Speaker 4: from snake bites. But he does fancied himself as a
Speaker 4: very curious mind. So he began injecting himself with small
Speaker 4: doses of snake venom, and then he would slowly increase
Speaker 4: the him out as the years ago by, to try
Speaker 4: to build up tolerance and then continue to let these dangerous,
Speaker 4: venomous snakes bite him. Here's the artic I read this paragrapher,
Speaker 4: You guys will No doctor would ever suggest this is
Speaker 4: a good idea, experts Bake experts say his method tracks
Speaker 4: how the body works, and when the immune system is
Speaker 4: exposed to the toxins and snake venom, it develops antibodies
Speaker 4: that can neutralize the poison.
Speaker 2: So this guy's kind.
Speaker 5: Of a genius, but he's like an idiot genius.
Speaker 6: He's an idiot because it's twenty twenty five, not the
Speaker 6: eighteen hundreds, like you can stay away from venomous sneaks.
Speaker 2: Okay, but this reminds me of what my oldest son did.
Speaker 1: He was allergic to peanuts, and so he started desensitization
Speaker 1: training where he would just have little, tiny microdoses of
Speaker 1: peanut powder, and you have a little more each week,
Speaker 1: and a little more each week, a little more each week,
Speaker 1: and finally got to the point where it's not going
Speaker 1: to kill him if he accidentally eats a peanut.
Speaker 4: Dude, Mike Turko has a nut allergy. He had to
Speaker 4: leave the set of the Kentucky Derby the other day.
Speaker 4: He he was not at the like the last couple
Speaker 4: hours of the coverage there.
Speaker 5: He had a nut allergy. So he should be doing
Speaker 5: spons Uh No, I don't think so. I don't know
Speaker 5: what happened.
Speaker 4: Who stuffed a nut into his cake? You know, he
Speaker 4: had a litle quick sandwich or something, you know, during
Speaker 4: the break somebody, yeah, I'm gonna put a little nut
Speaker 4: in there, and then they have to get him that
Speaker 4: he had to go home where he's nut out allergy flared.
Speaker 2: Up because that's where his uh, his medicine was was
Speaker 2: at home.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 4: So this guy has withstood snake bites and injections for
Speaker 4: nearly two decades. He's got a refrigerator full of venom.
Speaker 4: He started a YouTube channel that's gotten a little bit famous,
Speaker 4: and he just got hired by a company called Centivax.
Speaker 4: He said, quote, I wanted to push the limits as
Speaker 4: close to death as possible, to where I'm basically just
Speaker 4: teetering right.
Speaker 5: There, and then back off of it a little bit
Speaker 5: o cage.
Speaker 3: You know who had that exact quote, Michael Hutchins of Okay, Yeah, suffocate.
Speaker 2: Right to the point where he almost die.
Speaker 4: This is his kink, right, this is his thing. And
Speaker 4: that's what it does say that in the article, But
Speaker 4: that's what he was probably doing.
Speaker 5: He me.
Speaker 4: He emailed all these scientists and then they're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: actually this is a wonderful idea and they are now
Speaker 4: looking into this. They have not that it works against
Speaker 4: some cobras, but what they're trying to find is basically
Speaker 4: something that works at rattlesnakes would would kill him. His
Speaker 4: his technique here to to stave off, you know, death.
Speaker 4: A rattlesnake would kill him, he type, A viper oriented
Speaker 4: snake would kill him.
Speaker 5: But cobras, he's good.
Speaker 2: He's good. I don't understand what he does.
Speaker 5: The snake bites it.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, all right, here's snake.
Speaker 4: So he over the years has collected all this snake
Speaker 4: venom and he takes an anti venom that he's made
Speaker 4: and it combinds.
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's very, very hard to explain. But
Speaker 5: he's trying to develop.
Speaker 4: He's trying to develop the antibodies to fight off, like.
Speaker 5: To save humanity from snake. No hold on subject basically,
Speaker 5: well hold on.
Speaker 3: So once he builds up an immunity, how does that
Speaker 3: help the next person?
Speaker 6: They can they can get that from his bloodstream, right
Speaker 6: and just shoot it.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing as the last of us, exactly
Speaker 1: exact same thing. Yes, it's like, okay, she's immune to
Speaker 1: those zombies. And so they're trying to get her to
Speaker 1: some scientists to where they take all the antibodies out
Speaker 1: of her and give her she'd spread it.
Speaker 5: This is the problem. We don't watch the same TV shows.
Speaker 4: It's the problem with you. We're all on the last
Speaker 4: of us. Kick I'm still going you're not there. So
Speaker 4: the World Health Organization said that blank many people die
Speaker 4: from a snake bite each year.
Speaker 5: Pressure's red style each.
Speaker 4: Year going over in the entire world. I don't even
Speaker 4: die in the world with a snake bite every year.
Speaker 4: Christina five, If it's probably this is right style. Okay,
Speaker 4: I can't just let Ben have seven. I'm gonna take
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty three.
Speaker 2: I'll take six.
Speaker 5: Damn it, one hundred and ten thousand. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: what you guys are so bad at that game.
Speaker 6: Really, this guy is a genius. Then I take it back.
Speaker 4: This guy is smart. He could save one hundred and
Speaker 4: ten thousand lives. How by his antibodies?
Speaker 5: Was that a question after all this conversation?
Speaker 3: So what happens though, So they take his antibodies and
Speaker 3: they mass produce him.
Speaker 1: They turn it into like a mayonnaise, and then into.
Speaker 5: A vaccine maybe, right, yeah, vacs probably, And.
Speaker 3: So then the world takes snake vacs and then they
Speaker 3: can get bit by any snakes.
Speaker 2: It's not a viper. It's gonna be hard to convince
Speaker 2: people to take the snakebacks. I think.
Speaker 3: I think unless you live in India, no worse.
Speaker 2: I want to tell you this.
Speaker 1: My brother when he went to China and he lived
Speaker 1: in China, one of the first things he saw was
Speaker 1: a cobra, a king cobra, just on the doorstep of
Speaker 1: where he was living, and somebody was brushing it away
Speaker 1: with a broom, going get.
Speaker 2: Out of here, Like it was just like a city rat.
Speaker 2: Where is where are the most snake bites?
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say India one, China two,
Speaker 1: mesquite three?
Speaker 2: Why would I said India? Did you say no and
Speaker 2: yell at me?
Speaker 4: Oh oh, because you were gonna say, like this is
Speaker 4: only important in India, is what I thought you were saying.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm saying that it's probably more prominent there,
Speaker 3: But I don't know that. Like to Ben's point, there's
Speaker 3: people right now like I don't even care if I
Speaker 3: get measles. How are we going to get him to
Speaker 3: like take a snake quacination.
Speaker 4: Now, here's the thing, and I don't know if it
Speaker 4: was here or if it was on On the freak
Speaker 4: back in the day, we had a guy on who
Speaker 4: was by a copperhead and he walked through his experience
Speaker 4: of getting the venom and how much it cost him.
Speaker 5: It was enough to put him in medical debt for
Speaker 5: the rest of his life.
Speaker 2: How's he doing that?
Speaker 4: Because it's like, you can't pay for it's one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars to get venom.
Speaker 2: Do you know what this really just feels like?
Speaker 3: It just feels like that guy mosquito Steve that has
Speaker 3: the local company where he let all those mosquitos bite
Speaker 3: him over and over and over again, and then he
Speaker 3: just tried different sprays to see what he could market and.
Speaker 2: Sell real quick.
Speaker 5: Ben was right.
Speaker 6: India accounts for nearly fifty thousand snake bite deaths annually.
Speaker 2: Wow, then why did I get yelled at?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I thought you were gonna say something else. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: just ahead of it.
Speaker 2: I supported you getting down ahead of it all right?
Speaker 2: Coming up next, it's the Today Game, followed by a
