I Will Punch You! That Thing Is Freakin’ Huge!
Hey,
.
I know ….it is Monday, but how about a good laugh to begin the day.
You will enjoy this, except perhaps if you are one of the many arachnophobics amongst us.
.
It happened in Indiana.
In the studio of Fox 59, total panic broke out when they were in the middle of a weather report…. and suddenly all hell let loose.
.
Seconds before they had ended a segment on wildlife, before moving on to the weatherman, a guy called Jim O’Brien.
This poor meteorologist was doing quite nicely until suddenly he began shouting and threatening to punch anyone who came near him ‘with that spider’, quite forgetting that he was on-air and doing the weather.
.
It turned out that a tarantula had somehow crawled onto the anchorman’s jacket sleeve.
This was a gentleman called Ray Cortopassi, who was obviously not in the least big spooked by huge hairy spiders.
He then began to move his arm towards other presenters.
It was then that Jim O’Brien freaked out, due to a complete phobia about spiders… apparently especially outsize ones with teeth, who would fire hair at him.
It was then he said he would punch anyone if they brought the spider any closer, and he would leave the studio.
.
Someone else tried to continue the weather report, but only until the anchorman got too near to them too.
.
Anyway, here is the video clip showing the ‘behind the scenes’ action.
.
.
So, have a spider-free day yourself then!
J.
