Have you fed them recently?
Fortunately, we fed them last week.
Oh, thanks.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to a new Vat19 game.
We have snake lover Brian Barczyk here to help us out.
Our two contestants will lay in Plexiglas coffins
and try to answer reptile-themed questions.
For each wrong answer, Brian will add his slithery friends
to their coffin.
When the game is over, the winner
gets to munch on a delicious, giant gummy Python,
while the loser has to deal with the giant real Python.
This is what we call Cold-blooded Trivia.
Round one is going to be worth one snake.
Be the first to buzz in with the correct answer,
and you avoid a snake.
Question number one-- which snake generates noise
to warn off potential predators?
Eric, you have buzzed in first.
The rattlesnake.
Correct.
[YELLING]
OK, so guys, first things first, we
want to make sure that the animals are completely
in safety, right?
So I don't want you to roll over on them, throw them, toss them,
anything.
And the first question I get asked all the time about snakes
is, do they bite?
And the answer is, they can.
So yes?
The answer was yes?
The answer is yes.
Oh, that's weird.
Oh, that's so weird.
Oh, question number two, in the 1984
movie The Karate Kid, what is the name of Johnny Lawrence's
Dojo?
[BUZZER]
Eric, do you have an answer?
The Cobras?
Incorrect.
You get snakes.
OK.
Oh!
[YELLING] No!
No!
Brian, this one seems to have a different--
so these are all ball pythons, but they
look a little different.
These are all ball pythons from West Africa.
So we selectively breed them for different color.
And I tell you, this one likes Eric a lot.
Around Eric's neck here--
[STAMMERING]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I got to respond?
Oh, I got to respond.
Adam, come on, you've got to get it right.
[INAUDIBLE]
OK.
All right.
What was the name of Johnny Lawrence's Dojo
in the 1984 movie Karate Kid?
Um.
You got five seconds to answer.
You've got to give me one second.
Four.
Python Dojo.
I'm sorry.
The correct answer was Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai.
Oh, so close.
Brian, I've got another question.
One here, with its body around Eric's neck
there, has a number 35 on it.
What's that all about?
Well, I'm glad you asked that.
Again, we're always trying to make sure
that the animals are safe.
We also keep a lot of records.
So these animals being in this cage, we
need to make sure they go directly
back into the right cage, so that we have all of the record
husbandry-wise.
And so we actually are marking the snakes
so they go back in the right bag and then back
into the right cage when they're back home with us.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Dude.
One just went up Adam's shirt there someone.
It found it's way in there.
Brian, you're seriously are the worst.
Oh my god, it's licking me.
Let's focus on question number three.
In Greek mythology, who is the hero--
What?
You're buzzing in?
Yeah, yeah, he buzzed in.
You buzzed [BLEEP]
I didn't even finish the question.
Ah, you didn't.
I didn't finish the question.
Yeah, but he buzzed in.
He did buzz in, so--
Said who was the hero.
I was about to say Medusa, but that's probably
the wrong answer.
[BUZZER]
Poor snakes.
So this is a beautiful animal here.
This is what they call a spinner ball
python, which is a double mutation, really gorgeous.
This guy here is called a pinstripe ball python.
That's number two.
Those are some beautiful markings.
And here's another one, and that's three.
Oh.
Now, snakes are carnivores, guys, so--
Have you fed them recently?
Fortunately, we fed them last week.
Ah, thanks.
Eric, to only be fair, I'm going to read you the whole question.
In Greek mythology, who is the hero
that slays the snake-haired monster Medusa?
Brian's already got the snakes, because we're
pretty sure you don't know the answer to that one.
I don't know.
You want me to read it one more time?
The Titans?
I think--
Hercules.
[BUZZER]
Incorrect.
Dang it.
The correct answer was Perseus.
So is there a reason why you're putting
in all of the same species?
Yeah, we don't ever really want to mix species of snakes,
because they carry different bacteria and all kinds
of other things [INAUDIBLE]
Oh, boy.
Listen, these are captive born animals.
They were never in the wild.
And chances are they'd be fine.
But we don't want to take any risk.
Oh my god.
Eric is starting to shake.
I can't answer the questions.
I think you'll be fine, Eric.
Oh my god.
I hope you guys, for this next question,
are Harry Potter fans.
Oh no.
Here we go.
In Harry Potter, which Hogwart's house has a serpent--
Slitherin.
Correct!
You get no snakes.
Five snakes on Eric.
All right.
So I'm going to show you guys a couple of really cool ones.
Check this one out right here.
This is really nice.
All right, these are a couple of just normal ball pythons
here, but this one--
and this is what they call a leucistic ball
python, not an albino, because it still has dark eyes.
But it's lacking all the other pigments.
And then, of course, this would be the albino,
which is more orange.
And it has the orange eyes.
Oh!
Ooh, ooh.
Oh yeah, I can see its red eyes.
It's in my ear!
Eric, you are doing phenomenal.
Oh thanks, guys.
Question number five, by weight, what
is the largest species of snake in the world?
[BUZZER]
Eric?
Python.
Say that again.
Python.
Python?
Was that your answer?
No, anaconda.
I said anaconda.
No, you did not say anaconda.
I said anaconda.
I do believe, I do believe I buzzed in first.
Could we get some--
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
I do believe I buzzed in first.
[INAUDIBLE] anaconda, guys.
I can't tell what he said.
Anaconda, anaconda.
We're going to accept anaconda.
He buzzed in first.
So Adam, I'm sorry, you get seven snakes.
But I buzzed in first.
I think that--
He buzzed in first.
Now, I want to really make sure that everyone
understands that these snakes aren't being harmed.
There's nothing going to happen to them.
Adam and Eric are going through a lot more stress
than these guys are.
Stressed out-- that one's hissing.
You know, anacondas are the girthiest and heaviest-bodied
snake.
But the reticulated python is actually the largest snake.
But you can have an anaconda that
can be upwards of 300 pounds, believe it or not.
I can feel all their tongues touching me.
Eric, do you hyper lips on right now?
Because that's what it sounds like.
I'm trying not to bite the snake.
All right.
Final questions, guys.
Eric's got two points.
Adam has one point.
So to force a tiebreaker, you need
to get this one correct, Adam.
Which book in the Bible features a talking snake.
Eric!
Genesis?
Correct!
Yes!
Eric is our winner!
Adam gets all of the remaining snakes.
I believe there's about 10 more.
Eric, how's it feel?
I'm glad I was born in the Bible Belt, Jamie.
Oh, my gosh.
That's, that's a lot to snakes.
Oh, there you go.
You're doing good.
I hate to say it, but there was definitely
more than 10 snakes in here.
Oh, great.
Thanks.
Thanks, Brian.
Thanks [INAUDIBLE] Brian, you're the best.
You really are.
You're so great.
[? Comedy ?] was never my strong suit.
There's a couple sneaking out the back here.
Thanks, buddy.
Wope, losing my glasses.
I won.
Do I get out?
Eric, as the winner, will get to eat the giant gummy python from
Vat19, while Adam will get the giant 16-foot long reticulated
python--
I know this was going to happen.
--Lucy.
So while Eric munches on this snake, we've got Lucy---
is what, a 16-foot long python?
She's a 16-foot.
Now, this is the species of python
that is the longest species of python in the entire world,
sometimes exceeding 22 or 23 feet in length.
But let me tell you.
A lot of people think that these snakes are killers.
They're not.
Adam, I would never put your life that much in jeopardy, OK?
Help me with the tail end.
120 pounds of pure muscle-- it's like a hug
from a smaller [? joey. ?]
I was going to say, like a couple of [? joeys, ?] right?
Hang on to that head.
It's getting real angry.
[INAUDIBLE] front side.
[INAUDIBLE]
Yep, yep, there we go.
Then you want me to hold its head?
Well, not hold it.
Just try to keep it there.
Oh, OK.
I got it.
Yeah.
Yep, there you go.
Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho!
There's got to be another 10 feet coming in.
There's about another 10 feet left, OK?
Oh!
There we go.
Oh.
Lucy, Lucy, did you--
Come on, girl.
--pee?
Adam, I've give you a bite if you give it a kiss.
Eric-- oh, she's hissing.
Can you hug her back?
Eric, she's hissing.
Oh, yes.
Oh, I can see its teeth.
Oh my gosh.
Get it up there.
Kiss has been made.
It's a good--
It's a goodnight hiss.
Oh yeah!
Oh, a goodnight hiss is complete.
Now, that's a good Tinder date.
Oh, Eric, help me.
I'm right here with you, buddy.
Ohhhh!
Hey, buddy.
Oh.
[INAUDIBLE] coming out.
Jamie, I think we got this shot.
Jamie, I think we're good.
We could cut this video now.
OK.
Folks, thanks for joining us.
