That was a hitsnake, sent by the alligator. "Nobody humiliates me like that in public! *NOBODY!* "
😂😂😂
Hahahaha
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AWESOME!!!🤣😂🤣😂
Didn’t harm the animal and caught it, respect
I thought that as well. He's awesome all the way around!
Yes
Definitely hurt it getting crammed into that garbage. It was "standing" on its mouth in that garbage can for god sakes...
@@prof.scheere6933 no, it didn't hurt it. If it was "standing on its nose" it wouldn't have been facing outward when he laid it back down to release it, genius. Please _think_ about what you're saying before you post it online for all to see. 🙄
@@MaryAnnNytowl 💯🙌🏻
The amount of times you said flip flops when you should’ve said slides (or even sandals) has inspired me to join the jackals.
Nobody cares.
Sandals is just crap.
I care Audrey C, welcome aboard the jackal train!
Welcome. Audrey!
@Audrey C, you mean "the number of times". We care! and welcome to Cross-Jackal Banter 🌞
Gentle Jackal here. LOVED this story. I just wanted to point out that the "flip flop/slide" argument is quite pertinent here as the degree of difficulty was certainly higher for Eugene, due to the lack of a toehold of any sort. You're absolutely correct that nothing safe happens in flip flops but slides are that much more dangerous. Stay safe, I love you❣️
I was going to comment on that to. What makes flip flops so dangerous is that they're between the big toe and the rest of the toe. Those sandals are not the securist thing he could be running in, but definitely safer than flipflops.
From one Jackal to another, I hope they see this and include it in the segment 😂
Gentle Jackal, I like that.
Not just flip-flops. Flip-flops and SOCKS. That's next level.
@@Revelwoodie I was going to mention the SOCKS! WTF about the socks?
Can we talk about how heroic and selfless Eugene's buddy was to continue recording on his cellphone at a safe distance? 😄
I was a zookeeper for decades, and I can tell ya the ol' trash can capture' is a tried and true technique for all sorts of bitey critters. Eugene was only missing the rake you use to scoot them in.. but that lid did the trick pretty well!
I should have used that technique on my ex wife.
This comment makes me so happy that his instincts were right on point with what to do😂
I've used that technique on hostile dogs.
The infamous rake technique! lol! I tried a broomstick with a rat in my house, and let me tell you, that sucker ran right up that broomstick, and a sound came out of my mouth that is unclassified in the taxonomy of vocal exhortations. LFMM: Use a rake folks.
A zoo keeper? The lore about New Message deepens...
I hope that Seth mentions he’s a Florida man, in his corrections for the week. We finally get a good story and we don’t get credit. Also those are not FLIP FLOPS, they are SLIDES. I still ❤️ Seth though.
Oh don't worry. We all knew 😂
I don’t think he needs to!!!!!! 🤣🤣
He's actually from Philly, but transplants like Eugene are always welcome in my home state.
@@sammygirl6910 mostly everyone from Florida is from someplace else. For example I am from Brooklyn, New York. I love New York but I would not trade my life here with any New Yorker. So if our friend from Philly has no desire to leave. He’s a Floridian, AKA Florida Man.
Re FLIP FLOPS and SLIDES: does not the term FLIP FLOP describe any footwear that makes that flip flop flip flop sound as you walk? (SLIDES are merely a type of FLIP FLOP)
"Man Catches an Alligator in a Trash Can."
And the world is a better place for it. What a fun, uplifting story.
I would definitely be okay seeing more The Kind of Stories We Need Right Now and some along with some more Ya Burnts.
Same.
But it always interrupts an interesting sounding story about tree frogs. B(
The kind of story that we need right now is the 1942 USDA film, *Hemp For Victory,* which will rearrange the global economy and stop climate change.
(That's why no one will talk about it.)
There's an official .gov link to the video, and there was a bill introduced in the House titled the *Hemp For Victory Act of 2019.*
Especially now. Those of us here in Virginia need it badly.
No burnts!
Eugene is fearless. Eugene needs his own animal show on CZcams. Eugene is a true Florida man.
Definitely the kind of story we need right now, I agree.
I also think Adidas ought to give the guy an ad spot.
Seth however, can never take out the Jackals.
Mwahaahaaa!! You GOTdayum right 😄
And Frisbee sucks!
Nooo.. Seth wubs us!🥰
@@SyzygyNoon exactly! I like to think he doesn't want to!
How’d the Battle of Waterloo go?
What is awesome about this story is that he actually wheeled it down to a local body of water and released it , RESPECT !
Props to the multiple friends simply standing around video taping it.
(3:50)
He's in Florida Seth, of course he should move.
😂
Both the human and reptile are heroes in my book. If he could do that to Joe Manchin and dump him in a pond? National treasure . Nice form regardless and I want to drink beer 🍻 with that guy.
Na, just wheel Manchin to the curb to be recycled. Dumping Manchin in the pond would be cruelty to animals and polution
LMAO 💀
Speaking of reptiles, try asking mr. Bozzi how much he'd charge to take out McConnell from the Senate
Being from the land of Crocodile Dundee.🇦🇺 Major respect for Eugene and the "Otto Bin". Janine.🦘🐨
Ahahaha brilliant 😂 But I'm thinking Eugene can make a fortune if he says he's wearing Crocs not flip flops. #LaterGator 😁
Yesss!
🤣
Go Eugene! Awesome story. 😁
What an awsome guy, Respect !
I wonder what he tells his co- workers when they ask what he did this last weekend?
- Hmmm, nothing much. I just relaxed and caught an alligator in my trash bin.
That was on Saturday, Sunday he caught a slippery snake. Still had a rat in his mouth😂
Love this!
"Just...you know...Florida stuff."
Florida man of the year award goes to.......
…A guy from Philadelphia…phuck yeah!
Ikr! Florida Man finally did something good and they don't say he's in Florida😫 gotta be Florida, right?
@@SouthFloridaThrifter absolutely Florida only gets bad press nothing positive ever getting promoted by the media. 🤦🏻♂️
That guy is a rock star! You can hear his friend shrieking it up in the background like a little girl 🤣👍
I am truly impressed…an excellent capture…..and such a clean trash can!!
You're going to need a full hour to deal with the corrections for this.
He's a master jabaiter, and the entire jackal nation can't resist. It's in our constitutional bylaws.
It's almost reached the level of "knitting"
Love your show. Such a wonderful story. Also, My wife says that his foot attire is not a flip flop, but they're called slides. Thank you.
Serious badass Plus respectful to the animals!
The bop on the head with the lid was EVERYTHING 🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, I laughed out loud A LOT during this segment. More of this please!
well done, Eugene, thank you for saving the animal!
That's an old story, but it still works.. I like the neighbor coming over with a beer AFTER the gator is in the can ...
I LOVE YOU SETH!!!!! Agreed he is a bad ass! I would have pooped or fainted....or both..... at the same time....LMAO!
I LOVE SETH TOO! He's my "cheat" guy!!!! You can have him as yours, too. Unless you're his wife... then I'm sorry for loving your husband. 😉🌹
Were neighbors cheering from across the street? Lol gotta love FLA 🌞
They aren’t flip flops. They’re slides
They aren't slides they're slippers
👀
ya mean they're not crocs?
@@fatlacesthedon those are sandals
@@rubenfortes6768 heh!
They're not flip-flops...they're Slides😆
This is the most florida thing I've seen in awhile. Lol
Yeah but that gator will probably survive after we make ourselves extinct. Gators play the long game. #GatorLife
Thanks ninjeh AM🙂. ...Sure but they make such XCLNT suitcases...and keychains....(V)s hippos: sure but what happens if the 'gator's starving?😁
pretty sure that gator won't.
it's was du,b enough to get caught by a trash can.
as for gators in general, i thin but am not sure they are endangered in fl.
if they aren't they will soon be, because the sex of the offspring is determined by temperature, so as things get hotter due to global warming, the sex ratio of their eggs will be incredibly skewed.
Lol
Gators preceded us by millions of years, and we will be nothing but a brief bad taste in their mouths millions of years from now! Our species will be short-lived in the grand scale of time.
*Eugene "Bone Crusher" Bozzi:* I ain't neva scared!
Man, I love that. I want to be never scared!
That light ray when the lid closes in on the alligator feels Divine! So symbolic of conquering fears despite the risk! Lol
I'm more impressed at the bravery of the alligator. Who allows themselves to get within a bin's distance of a pair of balls that big?
That was a beautiful alligator!
Gold as always.
2:36 The gator flopping out with its mouth wide open is the just the cherry on top. Something so funny about it.
According to the nice fellow at Clint's Reptiles, the American alligator is one of the best pet crocodilians. This is not the same as being good pets. They're smarter than you'd think, but even a gator that likes you is still a massive, predatory reptile that might rip your arm off if it makes a mistake about when feeding time is. That said, damn good work Eugene. You got the gator away from you without hurting it, and gave it a weird and unpleasant experience that might make it more inclined to avoid people.
Keeping wildlife in fear of humans is absolutely the best result you can have. It keeps both parties safe!
@@SonicBoone56 The important thing is to be consistent. For example, if you give food to an animal, it may come to expect snacks whenever it approaches people. With smaller animals, or animals in an environment where being fed by people is normal, this may be fine. With larger ones, there's a risk that the person they approach will get scared or startled, react in a way that startles the animal, and someone may get bitten.
I can’t wait to hear the corrections commentary about how he’s wearing slides, not flip flops
I am disappointed in how far I had to scroll to find this comment.
Flip-flops have a thong. Everybody knows this
Exactly.
Should have been crocs
@@Dan-Simms Should have been gaiters
I wish he were wearing crocs 🐊
Imagine he didn't release it back into the wild but left it in there and waited until the recycling truck comes through? Lol.
I feel like there's a large chance it'll come back
@@LindaC616 It's Florida, we're never far from gators round here.
That's definitely the story I needed right now! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
The man. The legend.
The nice lack of alligator thanks to the legend. :)
Love this.
I am so happy you included the release. I had been wondering what happened to the poor gator for a week now.
Love a man who can act fast in flip flops. Eugene, you've got us women all a-flutter with your brains, brawn, and kind-heartedness. But those freakin' reptiles are after you man, so maybe a long distance relationship...
Not just flip flops, but black flip flops and white socks.
Kind of neighbour I'd like to have, even if we don't have alligators!
This was priceless. Thank you. I needed that. Just the best.
Absolutely what we need right now ! More please!
I was HOPING Seth would do this story!!!
And
HOW even MORE BOSS did Seth MAKE this STORY
One of my most favorite episodes ever, my stomach is hurting from laughing so much. However thank you Seth for the amazing coverage of our news all over the place.
Can't wait for corrections where someone corrects Seth on Gators and hippos as enemies
It won't be me cause I don't know what you're referring to. Please school me 🙂
@@rosiered3403 seth does a segment dedicated to the week's "corrections" where he apologizes sarcastically for mistakes made on the show, that viewers called him out on. Its all in good fun of course. Example czcams.com/video/XUV_aY_tShw/video.html
@@angiesleeps3890 Thanks Angie 🙂
Poor Seth. I’m waiting for the corrections episode where he says “SURPRISE!! NO CORRECTIONS THIS TIME, YES I WAS PERFECT”!!! 😂
Not to mention slides vs flip-flops
Ohhh my goodness, I feel like this man could take care of business ya know ;)
I need more stories like this right now. Started my day with a smile 😊
Cross-jackal chatter: Slides can apparently be considered a type of flip-flop according to plenty of websites so not sure how valid that (well repeated) correction is.
Gonna have to disagree with this correction of a correction. Flip flops are a type of slide, in that they leave most of the foot exposed. However, by definition, flip flops must have the “thong” piece that goes between the two toes. A good way thinking of it is all flip flops are slides but not all slides are flip flops. If the person had been wearing flip flops and Seth called them slides that would have been right, but it does not work in reverse. “All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.”
All that to say that Seth was wrong, and the original correction stands.
@@jacobgallant8902 . “All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.”
not yet. give it ten more years of cloning technology.
Slides do not flip or flop when you walk in them. Thongs make the appropriate noises.
Everyone I know would call those shoes flip flops. Never even heard of the term "slides."
If you'd been in the US Marine Corps, you'd call any variation of this footwear "shower shoes"
A single one of those Tail Whips could have badly injured him.
Nah Tail Whip just lowers your defense, doesn't do any damage.
Correction: that is an unsorted recycling bin, not a trash can.
"Man vs Nature the Road to Victory" starring Troy McClure 😂😂😂
The horror! Flip flops with white socks. The alligator was shocked at the sight
Those aren't flip-flops, they are slides. See you in corrections!
Considering how many black writers he has on his team I'm surprised this was over looked...almost like it's a correction bait
Slides are a type of flip flops
@@missybarbour6885 no flip flops have the thong between the toes
They're either called "flip-flops" or "slippers" in the NE.
@@stefanhoimes slippers? Get out of here 😂
Jackals are going to Jackal by turning “The Kind of Story We Need Right Now” into “The Kind of Argument We Don’t Need Right Now” with their comments of Flip-Flops vs Slides. 🤦🏻♂️
Let it start here, man…let it start here!!
I have never heard of "slides." Where I am from, everyone would call those flip-flops. Could be regional, like the whole "gym shoes" term used (sneakers/tennis shoes/kicks/etc.)
Yea it’s a slide and I wear them with socks too.
Let's just join the Aussies and call them thongs. But I guess that would be what they call flip-flops and not slides (for which in the UK I do not know different names).
Correction: Definitely not flip flops. Those are slides and I don’t care what anyone says. The iconic strap between the toes creates the iconic flip flop sound. Wild guess what sound slides make. And socks, really? I still give this dude massive respect.
"Man Trashes Alligator in Crocs n Socks - Film at Eleven".
That LITERALLY wrote itself just now as I sat and watched my fingers move across the keyboard.
Unbelievable. Everyone knows alligators belong in the recycling, not the trash!
The fact that you would even comment that.... even as a joke, appals me.... people like you that prevent alligators from being properly put in the yard waste bin
Blue lid is recycling, probably why it was empty and ready for gator trapping
That IS the recycling. The trash cans are all black. The recycling has the blue lid.
Great Eugene in flip flops story🐊🐍👏agree Seth, he needs a show in animal planet.
CORRECTION: Those aren't flip flops! Those a slides or slide-ons. Flip flops have part that goes between the toes.
Most people call those kind of flip flops "slides" down here in Florida.
I feel like Seth is that one kid in class always coming in late with his sunglasses on, he waits till after the story is a couple weeks old or more and than acts like it’s news… comedy gold. And it makes time feel all messed up, fun!
I feel like the graphics department purposely chose to use a picture of a _male_ hippo
They're so naughty 😎
You know one of them searched for the term "male hippo mid piss making eye contact".
I mean, how else does this happen?
@@creativedesignation7880 🤣🤣🤣
Graphics: "no one said we *couldn't*, Seth...."
Oh good, I'm not the only one whose eyes went DIRECTLY to it.
*This* was the comment that I was looking for! 😁
I wouldn't have noticed if not for reading this first...sure teed that up for me lol.
I was so happy to see one of these. Loved it as always.😀
His recklessness for his life is beyond words.
We need a story about someone fighting a jackal!
Those are slides not flip flops. Slides include a single strap or a sequence of straps across the toes and the lower half of the foot. Flip-flops have a Y-shaped strap known as a toe thong that passes between the first and second toes and around both sides of the foot.
Go Jackals! Can’t wait to see this on corrections.
Thank you... I was yelling "slides" while still super enjoying the story 😊
I found the first jackal comment *me scrolling the comment section to find the jackals*
Good catch!
Slides are a sub-category of flip flops. Jackal fight!
Looking forward to the corrections segment where Seth learns what Slides are debates the essence of sandals with the Jackals.
I'm hoping they will have a Crocs tie in to top it off.
Good job, human!!! Thanks, Eugene!
Gotta love a story where a natural apex predator loses to a guy in flip-flops wielding nothing more than a trash can. That's gold.
I need Amber Ruffin to discuss the absolute durag energy of this story as well
Sandals would have also been acceptable - as slides and flip-flops are sandals but flip-flops are definitely not slides.... Hope this helps Seth! 😊 💕
Thank you! Was looking for this before I added my own jackal comment 🤣
Came here to say those are slides not flip flops. 😂
For me, sandals have ankle straps
@@LindaC616 well for Oxford a flip-flop is "a light sandal, typically of plastic or rubber, with a thong between the big and second toe." A slide is "a sandal or light shoe without a back." But do you Linda. 😊
@@minoltaaraya yeah, but as a woman who wears all sorts of shoes, sandals have a strap.
Jackal here. 2 things: 1) those are not flip-flops 2) the japanese wear flip flops (with socks!) while forging knives and swords. Also Samurais wore them while fighting... You Scollinsed it, Seth!
Seth *cannot* "scollins" anything, @Andreas Georgiades (aka @Scollins shill!). Seth sometimes meyers things up a bit, but only for a good cause.
@@S.Pociecha "meyers things up😂! love it
@@S.Pociecha Nice try, Seth. Nice to see you here spying on us Jackals.
Oh thank you so very much for the rest of the story .. this segment reminds me so very much of Paul Harvey’s radio segment and that is meant as a big compliment .. your comedic timing is so on point in this Seth your delivery so funny .. writers did a great job , but together this segment is perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"And that's the rest of the story..." 😊
Yes sir thank you sir!
CORRECTION: he’s wearing “slides”, not flip flops 😉
Seth, your hair looks nice
Eugene has a massive pair. I live in Florida and I jump a foot or two whenever I see a small snake cross my path when mowing my lawn.
Very cool story! But yeah, I think I'd move....somewhere north.
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the socks and sandals in the pic of him taking the snake out
This is the comment I was looking for!
Both times he is wearing flip-flops. Like, is that all this man wears?!?!? Comfort and kickassable
Safer than getting pulled over by the cops
All flip flops are sandals but not all sandals are flip flops. Those are not flip flops. (Correction submitted with love!)
CORRECTION: SLIDES, NOT FLIP FLOPS! DO YOU EVEN DAD!?
After seeing this, I feel like I completely over reacted the last time a spider was in my apartment.
😂
I hope you never stop covering these stories!
once again, yet again I am so GRATEFUL to live in Aotearoa/New Zealand - no crocs, alligators, snakes - nothing wild trying to kill ya at all - many of our birds are flightless cause no predators (till people got here)
Soon as borders open up more I am going to visit ☺️. Victoria is beautiful but from what I hear New Zeland is something else.
Yet another reason why I want to leave Florida behind for NZ. Too bad the pandemic really threw a wrench into those plans.
The kakapo will just try to shag you🤣
How is New Zealand so safe when Australia is so dangerous??? Amazing
@@awaredeshmukh3202 I know, it's crazy right? I mean most places in the world have their dangers - snakes, bears, crocs/alligators - other predators - Aussie is just over abundant in all things dangerous though - while NZ is the opposite - with flightless birds cause no need to fly away from predators
That alligator capturing hero is wearing slides, not flip flops.
😂😂😂😂😂👍 Thank you Seth! This story will brighten my whole day today! 🐊 🐍 ❤️ 🌸
the reptiles just want TV time apparently 😂 cool dude right here! 🥰
