It would have been more funny if Ricky would have said "what do I look like Troy Laundry? I'm not squaring off with godzilla's third cousin !!! ROTFL !!! Just about the best one yet !!!
Same xD I'm thinkin that if you just give a gator his space and steer clear of their watering hole then they will usually leave you be. Its worked for me so far anyway..
I used to build bulkheads. Was on a golf course once and we had a little gator that followed us around like a puppy. He would even fetch a tennis ball. We'd be in the water, jetting boards down, and the little feller would just hang out next to us. Never tried to bite us, and would pop up inches from us. Was pretty nerve racking till ya got used to it...
How the hell do you get "used" to a gator popping up next to you. I understand it was a baby but if you couldn't see him/her how do you know it wasn't going to be an adult that popped up next time ?
I just wanted to say that I've been stuck in the hospital for the past month due to a motorcycle accident messed my leg up pretty bad and your videos have made me laugh so much and got me through until I was discharged last night continue the great work
Boy, he said “yea take big steps away” and “im not squaring up with godzillas third cousin” i lost it, this man is too funny. You need to be a stand up comedian.
Usually I wouldn't want the safety man to be put in a position like that. However, after the crap he pulled on the Thanksgiving weekend I agree with you.
@Freedom Isn't Free used to live near Tampa. My community had at least three gators living in the pond at center of development. We basically treated them as pets. Just had to warn transplants not to walk small dogs to close to edge.
That's awesome I had to go do a dirt job in Macon GA for a railroad siding for Norfolk southern and when I showed up I was told we 8 gators close by in the 3 ponds and I just wanted to go back to Ohio and just deal with my racoons lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I live south of Macon and my daddy would compete at our power dam with the gators on who would get the most catfish off his trout lines... Himself or the gators. It was a toss up some days.
Most species of gators and croc hlcan hold their breath for a good couple hours, picture you're putting some shit together by the shore for two hours thinking you're looking at a beautiful new waterfront whatever you're making and you look down and see two gators less than 6 feet away, looking like they been there the whole time, but realistically they could a just popped up
This is real. I'm from Kansas and wasn't really outside of Kansas until I worked on the road. We were down in Louisiana (im a small guy) and we were in about belly deep swampy, muddy ass water and we get out the other side and our inspector is like "you know we DO have gators right"? I about shit my pants. After he said it I noticed all of them. Whole new experience
And the funny shit is.... the gators aren't the thing you really got to worry about in the waters in South Louisiana. The Bull Sharks scare me a hell of a lot more than the gators. Never ate a bull shark yet (Have ate shark just not bull shark). I eat gator all the time. Most things are on the menu in south Louisiana to be blunt about it. What I won't eat I will feed to my pigs. Recycling nature into pork is fun and fattening.
Idc how sad or mad you are this guy will make you laugh your ass off. Keep it up always make my day watching your videos. Would like to meet this guy one day to shake his hand!!!!!
I’ve watched that croc feeding about a dozen times & I just now seen how fkn scary it would be to stand where that guy is & when the croc hears the meat he takes off making the wake look like mini waves of the algae on top of the water. If u didn’t know it was a giant croc then I’m sure ppl would’ve freaked out
We had a safety meeting about bears on a job down in Louisiana and I'll be damned if we didn't see them going home from work 1 night. Just sitting under a tree doing what a bear does by the side of the road
Lol, I lived in gator country as a kid (My Dad was in the army) I remember seeing fishermen with gators sitting under the chairs hiding from the sun. Or swimming in Alligator lake and seeing them across that end of the lake sunning themselves on the boy scout side of the beach. Lol
I've actually had alligator warnings at a few safety meetings for the LNG plant in Hackberry LA lol most I seen though was raccoons stealing our shit 😅
I used to have a pet monitor lizard. I would feed it live mice by letting the mouse go and the taking the monitor out and putting him in the center of the room. They'd hunt down, catch and eat that mouse in under 10 seconds. I'm thinking, to an alligator, we're the mouse.
It's bad enough scientists trying to bring back the mammoth. No way in hell I'm fighting Godzillas 3rd cousin for a few coins, especially if Hazzard pay ain't being offered!😅
When we had a "wildlife brief" on our mine site, the thing was: "Do not chase the wildlife in the equipment, you will not catch an antelope in a scraper. We've had attempts before."
@@susie.goodwin1356 Idk what dumbass thought they'd catch a prong horn in a scraper, but I guess there were enough of them to warrant a mention in the safety brief. Them were wild times 🤣
