  • You're listening to an iHeart Podcast.

  • Hey, and welcome to The Short Stuff.

  • I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and it's just us.

  • No Dave, no Jerry, no nothing.

  • But we are here, and being tourists walking through the Australian bush right now,

  • we need to be careful of drop bears.

  • That's right, because you know, if you're especially a tourist.

  • or maybe a foreign soldier, you're walking around the outback,

  • look up, because if you walk under a tree,

  • a drop bear might drop down, knock you on the head, and eat your head.

  • Yeah, might bite your skull open with its molars,

  • might use its fangs to bite your neck, and you're dead.

  • You're dead when a drop bear drops on you, because they can get fairly big.

  • I saw about the size of leopards.

  • Leopards average something like...

  • Six feet long, seven feet long, weighing between 100 to 200 pounds.

  • This is a big animal.

  • The thing that makes it so crazy is that it looks a lot like a koala except with orange wiry hair.

  • Yeah.

  • And luckily, you know, we toured Australia and did some great shows all over that wonderful country.
