00:00The new firework freeze from 5-Hour Energy really makes me think about summer.
00:04And you know what I love about summer, Chuck?
00:06What?
00:06Freedom.
00:09Yeah, me too. Freedom from pants.
00:11Jesus, Chuck, put some pants on.
00:13What? It's summer.
00:22All right, well, another animal attack to tell you about.
00:25Many guys don't mind getting attacked by a little beaver.
00:28Oh, wow.
00:28But this is an actual beaver attack.
00:30A guy was swimming in Lake George and got attacked by a beaver.
00:36How's he doing?
00:38Well, better than Grandpa Bison.
00:39Oh, sure.
00:40That's my favorite picture ever.
00:41Yeah, that is.
00:41Here's the story.
00:43And this man, I believe this male newscaster, he's never seen a real beaver in real life.
00:48Okay.
00:48You know what I'm saying?
00:49All right.
00:50I'm just going to guess.
00:50I'm going to see.
00:51A Burlington man is recovering tonight after he was attacked by a beaver while he was swimming in Lake George.
00:57This happened during a trip to the popular tourist destination last weekend.
01:01The man says he was trying to help his friend in the water when the animal turned on him.
01:07Our Alexis Crandall spoke with that man today.
01:09She's here with us now.
01:10Alexis, how's he doing?
01:11How's he doing?
01:12Well, Lauren and Jack, Brandon Short Sleeves says he and his friend are both doing okay.
01:15His name is Brandon Short Sleeves?
01:17I thought he said a man in short sleeves.
01:20No.
01:22I thought she said Brandon Short Sleeves.
01:24Or did it say a man in short sleeves was attacked?
01:27I don't know.
01:27It makes more sense.
01:29No, it doesn't make any sense at all.
01:30It's summertime.
01:31Everything is in short sleeves.
01:33A man in short sleeves was attacked.
01:35His headphones are so low.
01:37There's no wonder he can't hear anything on this show.
01:39He doesn't care.
01:40He doesn't care.
01:40A man in short sleeves.
01:42A man in short sleeves.
01:44I couldn't believe how quiet they were.
01:47Oh, wow.
01:48Let's hear what she says.
01:50A man in short sleeves.
01:50Well, Lauren and Jack, Brandon Short Sleeves says, Brandon Short Sleeves.
01:55Makes more sense than a man in short sleeves.
01:57A man in short sleeves.
01:58You wouldn't.
01:59Which is every man in the summertime.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Yep.
02:03I almost called Dave, Dave Short Sleeves.
02:06Dave Flip Flop.
02:10Oh, wow.
02:11So his family name comes from a family that decided, you know what?
02:17We are done with full length arms.
02:20Only short sleeves.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Oh, then the short sleeves.
02:26Back to Brandon.
02:27Doing.
02:27Well, Lauren and Jack, Brandon Short Sleeves says he and his friend are both doing okay.
02:31They're undergoing the rabies shot cycle after they say that beaver attacked them on the 4th of July.
02:38The first time my friend ended up picking it up, swam back at him.
02:42So we were like, okay, this is out for blood.
02:45Brandon Short Sleeves continues to recover after being bitten by a beaver while swimming off Turtle Island in Lake George.
02:50Oh, this was a punctured by his teeth.
02:52Oh, my God.
02:52Oh, his gut.
02:53Oh, I don't want to see that.
02:55Brandon Short Sleeves.
02:56Is this a Canadian attack?
02:58No.
02:59A beaver on the 4th of July goes and bites a man.
03:02Oh, you think it's like Canada against the U.S.?
03:04Was this a Canadian-sponsored attack?
03:09No.
03:10Where's Lake George?
03:13I'm not sure.
03:15It's in New York State.
03:16Nope.
03:17This is a Canadian-fueled beaver.
03:20A trained beaver.
03:22This man's showing us his beaver attack.
03:23It's not great.
03:24Back to Brandon Short Sleeves.
03:25Turtle Island in Lake George.
03:26This was a punctured bite.
03:27His teeth went through my stomach.
03:29Short Sleeve, his brother, and a friend had just gotten in the water.
03:32We were in the water, I think, for like maybe five minutes before my friend started freaking out and screaming.
03:38He said something attacked him.
03:40So I just jumped in the water and then I grabbed whatever it was attacking him, pulled it out.
03:45A young beaver, probably rabid, had started biting.
03:48Short Sleeves says he's never seen a beaver behave like this before.
03:52I was a little freaked out.
03:53I didn't think it was a beaver at first.
03:55I just grabbed this little brown blob in the water.
03:58But yeah, I saw its teeth and its tail and I was like, okay, this is a beaver.
04:03It ended up biting me a few times as I got it out of the water.
04:06So I was like, I got to keep a good grip on this thing.
04:10And then, yeah, and then I just tossed him pretty far.
04:12Short Sleeves says after the beaver swam off, he started getting people out of the water.
04:17Now, the DEC says visitors to Turtle Island should be cautious.
04:22Beavers are typically afraid of humans, but officials say one with rabies may lose that fear.
04:27They're afraid of us.
04:28They don't want to interact with us.
04:29They're not particularly curious about us.
04:31So a normal beaver, if you're, you know, boating along, you're kayaking along,
04:36if a beaver sees you, they will slap the water with their giant tails and they'll swim away.
04:42If you see a beaver approaching you, whether you're swimming or boating,
04:45that would be considered abnormal beaver behavior.
04:48While beavers can get rabies from other animals,
04:51it's very rare for them to pass it along to the rest of the colony.
04:55A beaver would typically probably be mostly a dead-end host.
04:59The virus isn't well adapted to that particular animal.
05:03It may bite another beaver and give that beaver rabies, but in all likelihood, it probably wouldn't.
05:10Short Sleeves says even after this ordeal, he's not afraid of the animal and recognizes how unusual this is.
05:16I was told I'd have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than that ever happening again.
05:21You think Brandon Short Sleeves ever wears long sleeves?
05:24Never.
05:24You can't.
05:25Are you going to ruin your family name?
05:29No way.
05:29He is in short sleeves in the interview.
05:30Of course he is.
05:31He is a man in short sleeves.
05:33Yeah.
05:33He's a man in short sleeves.
05:34A man in short sleeves.
05:36Well, that hat.
05:38I don't know why that last name makes me laugh so much.
05:40I know, me too.
05:41I've never heard it.
05:41I've never heard it.
05:42Anything like that?
05:42Like Susie Longskirt?
05:44Yeah, exactly.
05:44You've never heard anything like that?
05:45No, I've never.
05:47No clothing last name or first name?
05:49How?
05:50I mean, you know, like, I don't, I guess I don't know.
05:53When did we start calling them sleeves?
05:55I don't know.
05:56You know what I mean?
05:57Like how old is the...
05:58Like Charlie Denim Pants?
05:58Right, exactly.
06:00I'm Chuck Blue Jeans.
06:02When did we start using items of clothing?
06:05I don't know.
06:06As names.
06:06Never in my life have I encountered a man named after clothing.
06:11You might, you know, there's like a Tiger's pitcher whose last name is Vest.
06:15Comes from a family who wore vests, maybe.
06:19Okay.
06:20I'm trying to think of other clothing items that are acceptable.
06:23Trousers.
06:25Sweatshirt?
06:25I wear a lot of sweatshirts.
06:26You do?
06:28Jason's sweatshirt?
06:30Underpants.
06:30Dave Sandals.
06:32Hmm.
06:33If your family was identified by something you wore all the time?
06:36Well, it's like, it's a French-Canadian surname.
06:39Court Manchi.
06:41So they, the Americanized version is short sleeve.
06:44What?
06:45Hello, I am Jacques Court Manchi.
06:47Yeah, you're going to be short sleeve here in America.
06:49Well, you might have, you might have liked, you might have liked that little French name
06:56where you're from, but when you come to the old U-S-N-A, you're known as short sleeve, sumbitch.
07:07That's what we're calling you.
