00:00Tampa Bay's Morning Cruise Clip of the Day.
00:03Today is a huge day here in Florida, and this is so Florida, and I love it.
00:07The 2022 Florida Python Hunting Challenge starts today.
00:12I'm out.
00:13All right, so you can go from today to the 14th.
00:18Hunters are paid for every python they kill with a cash prize of $1,500 for the longest python captured.
00:28Longest.
00:30And then whoever captures the most pythons, you can make up to $2,500.
00:38You know, I was just watching some YouTube videos of this like a few seconds ago.
00:43These men are going down there in the dark, in the Florida Everglades, like in the dark.
00:50They have to wear flashlights on top of their heads, and they're just pulling these large snakes out of like swamps.
00:58And what are you doing, you crazies, dude?
01:02Wow.
01:03Well, you wouldn't do it either, Kevin.
01:05There's no way.
01:06No way.
01:06There's no way.
01:07Oh, man.
01:08And they're just grabbing them with their bare hands.
01:11They don't have shovels or knives or anything.
01:14They just, they're grabbing.
01:15And then the snakes, you know, they wrap around their bodies because they're trying to kill
01:18them.
01:18So, and then I Googled how many pythons have killed humans.
01:22And there was only, geez, what are you doing over there on your computer for crying out
01:25of a YouTube video?
01:26I'm educating our listeners so they know the people that are, you know, maybe on their
01:30way down there to the Florida Everglades, there's only been two instances.
01:34So, that's good news.
01:35One was in Indonesia.
01:37So, why would you want to, I mean, it's so good of you to do this to help control the
01:41population.
01:42You sound very sincere.
01:43Kenny, Kenny is on the phone right now.
01:45He's actually in Brooksville heading down there right now.
01:48Right, Kenny?
01:49Yeah, I'm on my way right now with my wife in the truck.
01:52Wait, your wife is going with you?
01:54Well, she has a tendency to stay in the truck.
01:57She stays in the truck.
01:59Oh, my gosh.
02:00So, you guys do this every year and are you pretty successful at it?
02:04Well, you know, it's honestly, I know people who do it for money, but I kind of, I save
02:09the skins.
02:10I have them on the wall.
02:11Oh, gross.
02:13Python skins?
02:15Yeah.
02:15I think our biggest one so far is 10-10-2.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:20Your wife allows this in your house?
02:22She's going with them on the hunt.
02:23Well, they're also dead by the time they come in the house.
02:28All right, Kenny.
02:29Well, I appreciate the call, man.
02:30Good luck out there.
02:31Be safe.
02:32Okay, buddy.
02:33Well, hopefully we hear from Kenny on Monday.
02:36Tampa Bay's Morning Cruise Clip of the Day.
